I had to go through and read this again. I love your Garrett stories! The men and women of that family just pull you in. I hope to see more here or published (I have them all) soon. Great work as always.

Honestly, I just about died laughing when I read a list of ethnicities containing both the stilted, self-conscious phrase "Caucasion American" and the antiquated, squirm-inducing term "Negro." It's not that it makes you sound racist. As far as I can tell you're safely in the "Everyone's a little bit racist sometimes" category. Hell, you're doing better than most AFF writers, in my book: the main characters' black friends not only exist but also manage to keep the tortured ebonics to a minimum. Furthermore, even though they do immediately fall into each other's arms like the last man and woman on earth, they do so without any uncomfortable references to penis size.
My point in all of this is that, judging by your author's note on the subject, it seems to me that you may have missed the point. It's not whether it's racist or not racist to get lost in the ever swirling morass of terminology. It's just that it distracts and alienates your readers. All of a sudden we have time warped from a feel-good PC melodrama, where everyone's adopting anything that moves and alternately sobbing and having mind-blowing, beatific sex, into a gritty ante-bellum setting. And then we're back again, with a speed that has every ambulance-chaser for ten miles asking us if we feel any whiplash coming on.

Anon of no name. All that? All that time and investment for something you don't even like?

Interesting.

Don't you just love it when ANON pops in to leave an exhaustive critique on your work? I LOVE ANON. ANON never has anything concrete to add, never any concrit, just criticism and crying and various jabs at the old ego. I'd like to see ANON banned from AFF. If you can't even leave your semi-anonymous, internet-inspired, completely-without-link-to-your-real-life-name-and-address pseudonym, why bother?

Goodness gracious, I never said I didn't like it. I wouldn't have read 57 chapters of it if I didn't. The sex scenes are smoking hot and the world is big, detailed, and entertaining. A quibble over word choice isn't going to change that.

aww these chapters were precious.
and Joseph not dying is awesome!
I absolutely love Nathan and Joseph.
great job!

thank you for the awesome update~~~
i'm so happy Joseph's okay!

YAY Joseph is ok and bossy as ever...I love this whole group of men...they make me smile...thanks for the update!

Wow! i really like the change of scenery. i think the adventure will do Adam a lot of good. It is hard to leave poor Joseph clinging to life like that. I hope joseph will be okay. What an exciting turn of events.

Please let him make it through! Now I'm really going to be looking out for the next chapter.
