I've posted a PDF addition to the Family Tree for Brotherhood of Love, covering the new chapter. As a PDF, it gives you one file instead of three, yet you still have the three images for quick reference from Chapter Nine.

I'm confused too! I just don't think spoilers are good in family trees, so leaving older ones for new readers is a plus!

Hey all!

I had planned on posting this literally the instant that the sites went down a couple of days ago. Now that we are as stable as we can be, I'll give you the latest in the Brotherhood of Love saga - Chapter 10: Camptown Blues!

DJ and his family are finally starting to settle in; just spending the day relaxing. When a call comes in, Finn steps up to the plate, leading a select group of his family members on a mission to invade a reprogramming camp owned by one of the former executives of Zorro Communications. Will he follow in his new family's footsteps? Chapter Ten answers this and a few more questions!

I hope that you enjoy the chapter!

Hi Fort Family!

As many of you may be unaware, on Thursday evening our service provider was one of many who experienced a complete outage that took our entire community down for a short period of time. I won't go into any details but we are not complaining about the speed in which this issue was addressed. The reason for this post is to request that any major site updates or important chapter postings should be postponed to allow for temporary fixes to receive permanent repairs. Where the work continues, I would consider all of our sites "Read Only" for a day or two. I will attempt a current backup as a "Just Incase" but, if we experience DNS issues resulting from the outage, new work could be lost.

So please join us in thanking those involved in such a speedy recovery but to be safe, do some reading and let your readers angrily stare at your newest cliffhanger one or two more days. 🤣

*HUGZ*

That's right, folks, chapter 29 is now up and ready for you to (hopefully) enjoy as this series winds down to its inevitable end. It has been quite a few years since it began, and the teens involved had all grown up to be fine and sexy young men in their own right! Hehehe, but this teen fanfic is going to be coming to a close within the next few chapters or so. So enjoy! And please let me know what you think of the story when you get a chance! :P

Also...no. Evan Elliott is not a real life character! He was made up for the story! Greyson, Chandler, and Asa, are though. Also...the entire series is being extensively reworked and rewritten as you read this! And it's going to drop your jaws when you guys see what I've got planned! Hehehe! Who knows? This time next year? I'm working on it! There's a lot of brain twisting stuff involved! :P

In the meantime, check out the new chapter to catch up with what's going on! (Waiting Outside The Lines @ SHACKOUTBACK.NET) Cool?

I want to thank you guys for being patient with me while I took a few days to be with my family. My uncle's passing from cancer kind of hit us hard, and we all just needed some time to take a breath. You know? My apologies for the break...but thanks for sticking with me. As usual, you guys came through to support me when I needed it most. I hope that I can do the same for you every now and then. Thank you.

Also, thanks for grabbing some of the new ebooks this month! There are more coming next week, but it helps. (https://imagine-magazine.org/store/comicality/) And to everyone who donated money to the https://paypal.me/Comsie account...kisses and belly rubs to every last one of you! Thank you! Every penny counts! more than you know!

I've gotta run! But I'll be back soon with more! Also...there is a new Imagine Magazine Q & A on the forums right now! About control in a relationship. I'll be adding my own thoughts tomorrow night, but please feel free to share your thoughts and feelings on the subject! We're a community, and we all love to hear what it is that you've got to say. K? So check out the Shack Forum (https://www.voy.com/15900/) and the Comicality Cafe to add your two cents and be a part of the discussion. :) (https://gayauthors.org/forums/forum/323-cafe/)

Seezya soon! More to come! And I love you lots! Take care!

It'll just be for a couple of days.

As you guys know, my uncle passed away from cancer last week, and arrangements had to be made this past weekend. So my mother and I have to drive a few hours out of town for the ceremony. (I hate funerals. i really do. But I couldn't live with myself if I didn't go.)

I leave tomorrow afternoon, but I'll be back on Friday morning. K? I'm taking my laptop with me, but I won't be able to post much or get any 'Comsie-Work' done with everybody around. So take care of yourselves, take care of the site, and take care of each other, while I'm gone. K?

Seezya soon!

And, as always, thanks to those of you who have been truly holding me up by grabbing ebooks this month (https://imagine-magazine.org/store/comicality/) and for making donations to the https://paypal.me/Comsie account! It really does make a difference. Especially during times like this. Thank you.

Tonight, I'm going to mostly concentrate on emails and stuff, maybe have a few beers, and that'll be that. :P

Everything continues as soon as I come back. Cool? Seeya then. :)

Previously (Parvenu 5, Chapter 20, to be not-at-all exact):

"Although I don't know of any significant alignment of the stars, there must be some unique confluence of something to bring you and your family here at this particular time."

"Really? What else is going on?" D asked cautiously.

"Something unprecedented. Let's just say that if you're wanting to introduce your sons to their family, today you're going to have an opportunity that you would not have had yesterday."

"I still don't get it." D said frankly.

"Have you or Emaline ever told Gwayne about his uncle?"

"Grief is here?" D asked with surprise.

The Chronicles of Grief, Chapters 1 & 2, have been posted in the Brynnhollow story section for your reading pleasure. Enjoy -MM
