I wanted to wait until the story was finished and then read it. It has not disappointed me. Fabulous plot and now can't wait to read how Justin and Brian are going to figure things out.

Hi again! I also thought we were moving in the right direction, and I think we were indeed going there for a while. Unfortunately, I believe that we have reached a turning point and are unfortunately now going in the wrong direction. At least it's wrong for me. The things regarding laws that happened in Hungary, Poland and USA for example... Who knows what will happen in Italy and also in Sweden. Unfortunately, it seems as if: "Die Welt ist im Wandel" (sorry, I don't know how it is said in the movie in english). I had to think of you while watching the new series "rings of power". I would imagine that if you're a real Tolkien fan, you don't like this series, do you?
So, now to your new chapter. I was thinking that it is amazing that Justin speaks (or writes in this case) so openly about his love for Brian.And Brian doesn't flinch at the words "love" and "relationship". :-) And yes, what a brave step of Justin to come out! I am curious about the consequences and implications! Hm, you made me think about princes and kings... I can't think of an openly homosexuell one... Looking forward to Sunday! Warmest regards!

The world is changed ;) Which kinda shows that the German translation isn't all too great as it implies present tense as in the world is changing while the English implies it is already changed, so more a past tense...
I am watching the show, but I am not a big fan, to be honest. And not because they cast dark skinned elves or dwarves. What a ridiculous discussion really. Why does everything have to be about race nowadays? I honestly couldn't care less about the skin colour of fantasy beings. But dwarf women without beards, elves with short hair? That's just wrong... Especially since the beards of the dwarf women were a talking point that Gimli brought up in the Lord of the Rings movies as well. It's painful to know that basic canon is being ignored. Also, I don't really think that all the actors are great... Sorry, but Galadriel will always be Cate Blanchett. Elrond will always be Hugo Weaving and replacing them both with mediocre actors? Every actor would be fighting an uphill battle taking on such iconic roles, but at least cast actors who have the talent if nothing else...
I love the sceneries, the world's and cities they have created. It just looks amazing, but to be fair, the storyline hasn't really gripped me yet. Hopefully, it will pick up in later episodes. Also, it makes me sad to think that this will be the last we'll see of New Zealand as Middle Earth. It's a real shame that they are moving production to the UK for the upcoming seasons :( New Zealand is and will always be my Middle Earth <3 *Lord of the Rings rant over*
It's definitely the wrong direction for me as well. I had really hoped we had moved past that, but apparently... not :(
Justin is a lot more honest to himself about his feelings for Brian than Brian is to himself about his feelings for Justin. What's new? ;)
We will hear about the consequences and reactions to his coming out soon. This story was actually inspired by a real life interview with Prince William in which he was asked a couple of years ago what he would do if it turned out that Prince George was gay. He said he would be totally fine with it and love and support him no matter what. Then it occured to me that there is no major royal (that we know of) that is openly gay. Which seems highly improbable if you ask me...
As always thanks for your comment. More will be up tomorrow :)

Justin made a quick decision and heeded Brian's suggestion. I hope we'll see Daphne and Jennifer's reaction to all of this. I can't wait
Author's Response:
Brian does give good advice ;)
Yes, we will see everyone's reactions soon.
Thanks for your comment. More will be up tomorrow :)

Brave little fucker indeed. Good for Justin, Brian always did admired the truth.
Never seen him so angry at Ted. It will blow over I hope. Ted is on of his closest friends.
Author's Response:
Very brave of Justin indeed.
Ted is one of his closest - if not his closest friend. I mean, we can't really count Michael as a friend... They will make up and move on, I promise. I love their friendship way too much to have them at odds for long.
Thanks for your comment. More will be up tomorrow :)

I am glad that you like the story. Thanks for letting me know!
Sorry, but I work full-time and have RL to deal with, there just is no time to post more often than once a week, which I think is still more regularly than many other authors ;)
More will be up tomorrow :)
