Hi all .... I must apologise as I haven't been back to this posting before. Not knowing how the site worked I never knew that the post would have the replies attached to it... I currently have a few stories that I could post, but at the moment fear of rejection is winning out. I joined a different board a while a go and started to post one that I had posted in Nifty some time ago. Then I had had really good feedback, but this time they were literally cannibalistic about it. One so much so I thought I was being marked in school!. So much so I retired the story after just 4 of the 16 chapters. I must admit reading some of the replies above shocked me as I have read your works for years since getting divorced and moving tot he North of England. There is one story being posted at the moment that is going really well which I am tempted with. Then I also write poetry and wondered if that can be posted as well???? Oh well will write again and most likely post when I hear back from you all. Kev

HI all ... Kev here or Kelvinvictor as I used to be known to my friends when I was young enough to go to school... Why did I join? Well for years now I have been reading online and recently even tried to post a few things on nifty. Then got involved with another site and published a story that they ripped apart and I lost all my sense of self worth. So I took a different track and started publishing some poetry and they loved it. Then a story based on one of the poems and they raved about it. The only thing that I have never liked is having to include sex scenes and this site insists on them. Hell I only came out when I was early 40s so what do I know? My stories as gay based and tell a story. I never came from an influential background, I never went to university, I have never been outside of England. So I like to imagine my character falls into the life of influence, gets family that care for him and that he finds happiness. what are stories if they are not dreams we wish could have been. I'd like to thank Chowhound and DJ Thomas as they made me realise that there is nothing wrong in having an imagination. I guess my fear of rejection has always held me back in the past. KEv (UK)
