And why wouldn't some of what you write show up here.. Hmmm.. Unless it is a story not geared for this site..ok, gotcha... Just keep writing, guy... Please....
Ricky Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 If it doesn't fit on this venue then it's not worth writing. 0.o D'Artagnon 1
Wolfhighlander Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 Great Story D. Just finished it. Hope Max feels like sharing more soon. D'Artagnon 1
D'Artagnon Posted January 6, 2015 Report Posted January 6, 2015 Well, Maxy has been persuaded to actually share his story himself instead of having help to write from his big brother and boyfriend. Here's a sneak peek. Mark C. 1
Mark C. Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Just finished Chapter 3 and am mesmerized, D'Artagnon. You have captured the coming of puberty so well in Max. I remember those feelings too. Wishing I had pubic hair, wishing I was bigger down there, looking at young sailors working out in the gym and "having feelings" which confused me, etc. Wanting to touch their sweaty chests but terrified if they even looked at me. D'Artagnon 1
D'Artagnon Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Max may only be entering the mysterious and often bewildering physical aspects of puberty, but he is starting to have a lot of very adult thoughts, and most of them aren't about sex. His world is about to get a lot more complex in his next story. Mark C. 1
Mark C. Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Sounds ominous, D'Artagnon.... If Max and Cam do not end up being happily together.... Will come and steal your baseball cap! Ok, maybe not but when an author manipulates a reader's emotions as well as you do, we are invested in the story and characters.
Jeikor Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Sounds ominous, D'Artagnon.... If Max and Cam do not end up being happily together.... Will come and steal your baseball cap! Ok, maybe not but when an author manipulates a reader's emotions as well as you do, we are invested in the story and characters. Very right, Mark!! I'll help with whatever we decide to do to him if they don't get a bit happy ever after when all is done.
D'Artagnon Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Is anybody ever REALLY happy? LOL If it was always easy, if it was always simple, if it was always a sure thing, wouldn't make for a very good story, would it? No spoilers. If you want to find out, read! Just know this: in the Canterbury Knights universe, nothing is ever as safe or easy as it at first looks. Mark C. 1
Mark C. Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 D'Artagnon, you are evil, grin.... How does Ben put up with you??
D'Artagnon Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 Put up with me? He just fed me shrimp linguini alfredo! Mark C. 1
Jeikor Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 Put up with me? He just fed me shrimp linguini alfredo! Lucky you!! And I only asked for bit of happy even just a very small bit. Besides Robby and Kenneth have been getting a little bit and the two werewolves from Last Place ( my mind has blanked on their names) got a little as well. Just need to see a glimmer of hope ( or is that Glamour). LOL
Mark C. Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 You're going to need cholesterol reducing medication, grin.... Sir, the chapter where Max and Cam are in the tent in the Warch, was absolutely perfect, D'Artagnon. Can not tell you how I reacted to it.. So heartwarming and loving... Kudos to a fantastic author. Mark C. 1
Ricky Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 D'Artagnon, you are evil, grin.... How does Ben put up with you?? Too over the hill to remember what sex is?
D'Artagnon Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 Jeikor, the werewolf boys are Cody and Nick, and they will surface again. Mark C. 1
Mark C. Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 D'Artagnon, just had to tell you, Chapter 5, "The Watch", was one of the most erotic and moving scenes I have read in a long time. Most every M/M story has sex in it but Chapter 5 transcended sex for me. It so loving, tender and heartfelt. I was going to e-mail you about chapter 5 but noticed you have not read two of my past e-mails, according to the system, so figured you are just swamped. So will tell you here, you are,the best.

D'Artagnon Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 Mark, I've checked my e-mails and don't see any unanswered ones. Maybe try again and we'll see. If it happened during the holidays, there's no telling if it got deleted by accident. It was kind of chaotic around here at that time. As for chapter 5, that one gave me fits. I wanted to keep the heart of both characters in it, yet still make it not only exciting sexually, but thoughtful. This was a defining moment for Max, not because of the sexual feelings (although that was part of it) but because this was a moment of trust, confidence, respect, giving as well as receiving. I've always thought that it's relatively easy to write just a sex scene. It's typically a short formula, despite any interesting variations. What I wanted was for the characters, both of them, to evolve, emote and emerge from the experience gaining something. This was my first "big" sex scene to write and I literally took almost three weeks going over it again and again. I hope I got the emotional and internal thought parts right. In a lot of ways, Max is a very personal character for me and my biggest concern was bringing the reader into his world and keeping him genuine. So much else in his story is wild and experimental. I wanted to capture not only the wonder and mystery of "the first time," but also keep the heart of that moment, ya know? I got so many e-mails about this chapter, all saying pretty much the same two things. First, they wished/reported that their own first experience matched Maxy's first night with Cam. Second, so many told me that they'd adopted the "Hey" lines in their own relationships. I must admit, Benji and I often do the "Hey" lines as well. You can expect that definitely to be part of Max's second story. Mark C. 1

So let me see if I got this right, Every time you got started reading it to complete it . . . you got uhm . . . busy. Over and Over and Over again. Ya gotta love it when you write it right.
D'Artagnon Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 No, not that way. I would read it and try thinking things through, worry about getting things right. Not so much the mechanics of the plot, but the emotions and "pillow talk" that goes on around it. Chapter 6 shows a lot of that, since originally what became chapter 6 was part of chapter 5. Oddly enough, while i try to make whatever sexual scenes realistic and interesting, I don't tend to, uhmm, take matters into hand while writing them. I wanted it to not only be an erotic moment, but one of tenderness, growing love and that sense of wonder about life. Educating Max isn't about educating him about sex, it's about growing up. And all the sad, weird, crazy, funny, happy and funky things that happen along the way. And in Maxy's case, two something specials more than just that. Sorry for the confusion, even if it makes a bit of funny. Mark C. 1
Jeikor Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 Glad to see this story get the attention it so richly deserved. Can't wait to see what Max decides to share with us in the next one. Mark C. and D'Artagnon 2
Mark C. Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 D'Artagnon, if there is someone or a character I really Iike, one of my compliments is if I would want them as a neighbor. I would like Max, Mike and Cam as my neighbor. This story rocked and I can't wait for the next one. D'Artagnon 1
Mark C. Posted January 25, 2015 Report Posted January 25, 2015 My above post still stands but would like it even better if you, Benji and Ken lived next door too, grin.... ken barber, Benji and D'Artagnon 3
Ricky Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 Just listened to it again. One thing became clear, You're really hard on your editors.
Guest Posted January 28, 2015 Report Posted January 28, 2015 I'm still waiting for chapter "I" LOL nuff said I know I'm the devil >:-) who wears a halo waiting patently for the next one while my puppy chews my ear as I type this and now is trying to dig my arm away OWWW That stings! nail trimming time!! ken barber 1
