Bio:

While I'm new to the QAF universe, I'm really enjoying all the different story lines I have found here and on other sites.


I watched the show when it first aired and then forgot all about it until Showtime replayed it last month. I have since gotten my own DVD set  (have to have the original music:)


I spent many years running a site devoted to fanficton in the Star Wars universe. I loved working with the authors and loved site design, but real life threw a few hurdles and I had to walk away. Now that I have some time and a new passion, I can wait to surround myself with all these unread stories

I had a wonderful time reading this. Love a beautiful story that has me on Wikipedia learning all kinds of fun things. I'm not only enjoying the loving porn.... I'm better educated. 

 



Author's Response:

That's one of the nicest compliments I've ever had. I love encouraging people to research more. Thank you for that. TAG

Date: Apr 11, 2020 Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - Another Lonely Night

Stories sprinkled with historical facts and people are some of my favorites. 

I've been a big fan for awhile. Not much for leaving reviews.... I know. I really should but I always feel like my words don't do justice. So I tend to just leave a word or two. An "I was here" and loved your work kinda thing. 

But I do want to note the shaving scene. Very Hot. ☄️

 



Author's Response:

The shaving scene was planned from the very beginning. 😉 Glad you liked it! TAG

Summary:

Brian wants to get to know Justin, but almost loses the chance because of a bet he had nothing to do with.

I know AA says you should wait at least a year before pursuing a relationship, but ::sigh:: can we make an exception ? ???? 

also.... I've never been to IKEA . Seriously.... meatballs? I looked it up... there is one 21 miles from me. Now I'm going to go find out just how good those meatballs are ????



Author's Response:

Since it has taken me almsot three years to get Brian to 6 months, I don't think I'll wait another 3 years to get him to a year-  exceptions may occur.  Yes, IKEA sells meatballs but I've never had them.  The details came from my beta.

Summary:

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS:

 

Michael returns from Portland as a man on a mission. How is he going to respond when he finds out just how much things have changed? And will he finally figure out that it’s time to design his own life, instead of trying to plan Brian’s?

 

It’s decision time… and not only for Michael.

 

Again, a MAJOR shoutout goes to Lorie, who is helping me to endure the Committee of Whine and Coo at constant war in my head. And also to Cathy Sunderland (BritinManor) and Deb Tanner for the bunnies that is inspiring the continuation of this series. All of you ladies are AAAAaaa-MAZING!

 

*COMPLETE*

 

HAPPY READING, Y'ALL!

No. This is way to heart breaking. 



Author's Response:

I know a story like this doesn't appeal to everyone, but I decided to post this to see what kind of reaction I might get since I actually have several WIPs in this AU that I have been working on for years... literally years. At this point they don't really tie in with each other since I'm basically exploring different scenarios of how their lives could have gone. I left this somewhat open-ended to allow myself the time to work out how I want to get Brian and Justin back together.

Thank you for reading. And thank you for taking the time to review even though you didn't enjoy it.
