Wow. That was a long read but I really enjoyed it! For a moment there I thought Will had already come into terms with his attraction for Ian when he bought that dildo thinking of him. I just can't wait to read what happens next. And oh, I like Christian so much. And Marin too. But I like and Ian and Will together more.

Selah, is that only in Texas that you can get fired from your job b/c you married someone of the same sex? That's ridiculous. How can that be legal? That's discrimination! Is that what these backwards states (no offense to you, Selah!) are doing to sort of get back at the Supreme Court?

I actually LOVED this chapter! I was fascinated with Anne's speech during the workshop. I know just what subspace Will was in. I'm reading this story on another site, and the main character is versatile, but he prefers to bottom. Anyway, he gets VERY submissive if his partner acts just a little dominant. He totally gets into this subspace that he calls submissiveness. He loves it. He forgets all about the world around him, and he can only concentrate on how his body is feeling at the time. It seems like it could be like hypnosis, although I was never hypnotized. lol

I'm looking forward to the next chapter. :)

I totally LOVE this story, Selah! :)

Second-to-last chapter: Holy shit, Selah! Are you ok? You can sing with asthma? Doesn't that make it worse?

I'm also so sorry to hear about your friend. That's so sad. It was so sweet of you to shave your head in a show of solidarity. I know someone who did that at her college. She shaved her head for one of her friend's nieces who had cancer; she never even met the girl.

I hope things get better for her and for you and your asthma.

Onto the review:

Dog Sitting for Dykes is hysterical - like the Lowdown with Dane's Dongs or whatever show that was called! I cried myself silly! lol

Actually, the whole chapter was very humorous. The scene in the sex store had me lol'ing, and Will and Dylan's frank discussion on sex was pretty funny also. How did Will know what cis meant? I never heard the word until a few months ago when one of the authors I edit for wrote about it.

I don't know what idiot would write nasty things about this story. I think it's wonderful. It's actually one of the best stories I've read on this site and other sites. It has love, romance, comedy, sex, comedy, oh, did I mention it had comedy? There are so many stories out there that don't have any humor, and I think humor is important in a story. I love to laugh when I'm reading, and this story keeps me in stitches.

And never mind the laughter, Selah, this is such a well-written story. It's such a pleasure to read a story that is free from grammatical errors, spelling errors, tense changes, consistency and continuity errors...whoever wrote that nasty shit about your story is just jealous because I'm sure he/she can't write as well as you can.

I've read a lot of stories and I edit stories, and you wouldn't believe how many people have no grasp of the English language. I'm talking about native English speakers. lol You are not one of them. :)

Anyway, I have to go; it's 1:45 in the a.m., and I have to get up in the morning. lol I had to finish the chapter before I went to bed though!

I'll read the new chapter tomorrow after work. :)

I don't know what people could possibly be complaining about, i absolutely adore this strory and the characters. I think your writing is impeccable and very gripping and i have to confess i've read this story now twice while waiting for a new update. And i hope that dispite your own personal troubles (my heart goes out for you btw, sounds like you've had a tough time) you'll find motivation to write and update soon! :)

I'm so sorry to hear about everything that has been happening to you. Hopefully, life will get a little bit easier for you soon. And as for people who don't like your story, they really don't have to read it. I personally have been thoroughly enjoying it. I can't wait to find out how Will either tells Marin, or breaks it off with her. Though I do like her and I feel for her... It's a bit of a conundrum since I love all the characters you have written about. It's enough like my own life that I couldn't stop reading it. Thats enough rambling on my part. This was supposed to be me telling you that I really like your story and I hope life settles down so you can continue it (which is rather selfish of me, but oh well). Good luck with everything!

Selaahh!! I'm sorry i apparently forgot to write a review on the last chapter, i was busy with exams and just forgot to! Oh my God I was squealing and having a "senpai finally noticed me!!!" moment when i read u dedicated that one chapter for me//cries tears of joy
As for the review, i wanna know more what Will's thinking actually.. Is he really loves Marin? What kind of love does he have for Ian? And so on and so on.. Happy to see more dancing scenes!! And i hope i can keep up with the growing number of characters and their own interesting stories :)

And.. Sorry to hear the chaos is back :( i hope this time everything can went more smoothly.. I've always wanna go travel around europe too! Wish you'll find a way to get enough money! Oh and since i feel bad for always demanding for your life update, i'll tell you some things about me too :D
One of my best friend just recently told me that he's gay! And in this country i lived in, gay is still very taboo in the society. I felt honored that he trusted me :")
And currently i'm trying to figure out where i wanna be after i finished university in 2 years..
Hope you'll update soon, happy live to you Selah! Thanks for the update!

I just got to the last chapter, having read the story straight through over the past few days, including the A/N's. First off, I just wanted to say: Holy Crap... You're life sounds like it's been through a hell of a hail storm and a few tornadoes, with some earthquakes and tsunamis thrown in! Saying goodbye to an ex, caring for a dying grandmother, raising a young niece with diabetes, several friends with cancer, horrible asthma, a busy life, and not enough money or health insurance... I feel woozy. And so sorry. And amazed at your resilience. And glad that you've still managed to eke out some time to write a great slash story. I do hope that, as long as writing gives you pleasure, you keep up with it! (yes, I'm being selfish...I really do want to see this story finished! I'm completely invested, here!). At the end of this last chapter, you mention that you're getting feedback about the rambling... Here's what I say - Keep writing! Keep rambling! Don't worry so much about editing! This is a really good story, you're doing us all a favor by taking the time to write and post for FREE. Yes, this is a rough draft, but that's okay, because your woven tapestry of this world is soooo fun to dive into. I love the characters, and I really, really, really want to see Ian and Will work through all this! I love the immensely slow build-up you've done, just stitching more and more depth into the play. You've mentioned this is your first work of fiction, and the roughness does attest to that, but it also shows a hell of a lot of promise and talent. As long as writing this story brings you happiness, and as long as you know you've got an appreciative audience, I hope you manage to fit it itno your busy life! Thank you for keeping up with it, and I hope to see more soon!

I've never understood why people say they're sorry when there's been bad news in your life except to fill in the silence. And I like reading about authors go abouts. I love the story and I hope you do finish it before I'm thirty. Life throws lemons, so thank goodness for sugar.

I'm loving your story and glad that you take the time to create it. My only critique would be nice that I want Will to face his feelings quicker and realize he is in love with Ian no matter his gender
