You have a wonderful way of letting us see into other characters. One feels the anguish that John's friends are going through. Can't wait to find out how the truth works.

Hey Sandy
It is so true whenever someone with mental health issues is on tv it is normally a news segment and their actions have caused public concern; however, that would only be a very small representation of mental illness. The most common incident we hear about is when a person thinks they are alright and stops taking their medication. Recently, again through news bulletins, I have come to understand that it isn't always easy to get the help needed which can have dire consequences. I'm really interested in hear John's story.
Cheers
Author's Response: I am a counselor by training and hae many years of experience. It is difficult for people with Mental Illness since they feel better when they take their meds and then think they don't need them so they stop taking them. Thus, a viscious circle occurs.

Oh...I think the decision to release John is a hasty one. I get why the courts and hospital would think it's okay to do so, but still something just doesn't feel right about this.
Author's Response: The hospital can't hold him if they feel he isn't a threat to himself or others- we shall see how this pans out.

Good chapter. Has me wanting more. It's like connect the dots, they need to learn when this all started to make any sense of it. Hopefully it will also help Justin.

It's nice that Daphne is there to keep things balanced. And Justin is getting better at not feeling that it's all his fault.

Your qualifications are showing through a little more in this chapter. I look forward to the counselling of John as I'm sure it will be a most realistic portrayal. A few chapters back I thought John was just in this fic to be the bad guy and once he was apprehended the fic would end, not really giving closure to Justin's mental anguish brought on by John's actions. However, I'm glad that wasn't the case as I'm excited to see where you take this and how you handle it. Update soon if RL allows, please.
Cheers :)
Author's Response: Flossee:
Thank you for the compliment. I'm not sure how well I will "counsel" John- may be more liekly to "counsel" Justin- I never know where a story will end up - my muse sets the stage and it goes from there- maybe I should have an ending when I start to write, and sometimes I do, but not always. I do have to resolve the issues, so I guess that counts. For now, the issues aren't resolved so the story will continue. As for real life, the delay this time was due to a change in beta, but real life is very busy- I have the next chapter written and hope to send it to the beta readers in a few days- I have to read it a second time before I send it.

I'm glad that Michael was able to get Sam on board to try and make sense out of this convoluted situation. I do think that Peter is going to take a little longer to understand his friend's actions. They definitely have their work cut out for them.
Author's Response: Peter wants a magic wand to fix all the problems and he's so worried about John that he doesn't realize that the fix is not an easy one this time.

I do like all the characters, even John. When we started the story, he seems like a very likeable person. What happened to him, I don’t get but most probably the issue was always there. Somehow Justin keyed the issue. Hopefully, somehow he will see the error in his behavior, and heal from that, though I guess that is asking too much For now, sadly, Justin needs to be protected from him. Since John is emotionally imbalanced, I have no idea which way he will go. He could go from loving Justin to hating him and wish to harm him. I don’t know?? We will see.
Thanks for the chapter. There is lots to be resolved.

Not that you're not doing a great job of explaining Justin's psychological state, but I'd still like to just kick the silly man in the arse and tell him to 'buck up and move on already!' I don't think he'd listen though. TAG

I like where this is going. I'm glad they are assessing John and they may be able to help him, but please don't forget the victim. Justin won't just get over this as it is something that stays with a person forever. They worry about the stalker getting out of jail or a medical facility. Restraining orders are useless and there is no real protection if John walks free. You sound like you know a lot about this sort of behaviour so I have faith you are going to make it very realistic and I look forward to that. Thank you for the update. BTW I love your picture of Daphne on the banner.

Author's Response: Flossee:
I meant to put a disclaimer in the notes and thank you for reminding me. I do have a Masters in Counseling, but this is an area I do not work with any more. The 72 hour hold is real but the other legal issues are my interpretation. I keep thinking I'm nearing the end of the story, but then realize I have more to explore. There still is more to the story- not sure how long or where the muses lead me. I'm always amazed at where my stories end up when I just start with an idea.

Brian's trying to bring normalcy. back to their relationship. John took Justin's sense of trust away. They need this day together. To find whatever is missing. A passion for art, a sunshine smile, a love that no one can rip apart.
John may be delusional about Justin and himself, but not Brian.
No apologies, no regrets. He won't allow Justin to say or have them but not himself. They'll get over this and help each other heal.
Great chapter.
Author's Response: I love the relationshipo between Justin and Brian and really wish that we could have seen something like this on the show, but I think the closest we came to it was in season 2 after Justin comes to live with Brian. i'm glad my readers believe this universe and that neither of them are OOC. Brian will help Justin.

Now I feel sorry for John, but you have to wonder how a seemingly intelligent guy can have these delusions after not even looking at the photos for a few years. Also you would wonder why he hadn't shown any other excessive behaviour in the past. I look forward to the updates. Yay, now I'm waiting for more.

Author's Response: Flossee:
Sometimes the break comes when no one is looking; howeverm he did show signs of depression several years back when he was out of a job. True, being out of a job is reason for depression. Often people with Mental illness are good at hiding their symptoms and it is only when they become extreme that there friends and family find out. Thanks for all the comments.

Nice one Daphne. Actually it is lucky that she is there as Brian now knows Justin still needs protection. Restraining orders are rubbish.

Daphne is a good therapist just letting Justin talk, even if he doesn't understand what he is saying until she repeats it back to him. I'm happy she also put into perspective how children can really be; if they want to find something to ridicule another child about they will. Yay for Debbie. Nice chapter.

I don't normally like to think of Justin and Brian with kids and living a mundane life, but I am lovely the way you are writing this and I'm really happy Brian is willing to discuss Justin's wishes.

"I was an altar boy when I was younger, shoot me. But really Justin, Debbie got pregnant by a drag queen. Mel did a spread in Playboy. We've all done things that we aren't proud of."
Did I miss the episode where Brian said he was an altar boy as I don't remember it? I remember the other references about Debbie and Mel. I'm scratching my head here; however instead of me watching the series again it would be easier if you could tell me the series and episode, Pleeeease. Thank you.
Cheers
Author's Response: Hmm- I think he mentions it when he is talking about Joan taking him to church and that he was an altar boy- possibly around the time he did the riest in the baths- but not sure- it could be something I made up- that is the problem with reading so much fanfic, you begin to forget what is canon and what is fanon.

Restraining orders; have they ever worked? I like that they are taking away the power of anyone else blackmailing Justin. Go public and it should blow over quickly as it will be yesterday's news in no time, however that doesn't solve the immediate stalker problem. Great chapter.
Cheers
Author's Response: The restraining order is only as good as the person is willing to not get in the space of the person- since John doesn't even know about the order, it is doubtful- blackmail- well that is another issue all together

Great writing; this fic is moving along nicely and it has such a lovely flow. Now the call from Carol, this should be helpful. I'm so glad Carol and Peter seem very perceptive.

I'm so pleased Brian is aware of the situation. I love the fact you didn't drag it out over several chapters as some authors do as that gets boring really quickly. This is moving along at a really nice pace. I like the way Brian turns to Daphne, however she is the perfect person for the job. I love that Daphne said. "Shit! What are we going to do?" as she could have said "What are you going to do?" I also like the fact Brian and Justin's relationship has reached the point where ever the smallest of diversion from the norm is noticed. I'm sorry it's taking me a long time to catch up, but it means I just get to savour your fic more. :)

Author's Response: I try to move the story along in each chapter. There is still drawn out information and drama but I try to leave the reader wanting more but still giving them some closure at each juncture. Daphne is an integral part of both of their lives; Justin since childhood and Brian since he became an integral part of Justin's life. I like Daphne and it works to make her a therapist, but she has always offered her advice to Justin.

Hi Sandy. The first chapter you had me liking both these men to the point that I wouldn't have minded if the story was based just on them. LOL However, now I can see creepy John is starting to emerge. I think that's a huge error to even think about posting the photos to Brian so I will read on and see if John is stupid enough to do it.

Hi there! Just to relay I'm continuing to enjoy the indepth nature of the story and the mixture and interplay between the characters from the show and the new ones. For me, i think your characterisation of Brian and Justin matches mine in terms of how you've portrayed and continued their story after the series finale. Look forward to the next instalment.

Okay, despite earlier explanations, I'm still confused. Justin as a former stripper is possibel. But Michael as a therapist with some new guy? Did I miss something? How is that possible? Is this supposed to be AU? Cause that might explain things. But it's not listed as such.
The story it's self is pretty good. If I didn't already know the characters as they were, I'd probably not be put off by the unexplained differences.
Author's Response: Milly4:
Let me try to clear up a few things. This is a sequel of sorts to the story The Stripper- ( on this sight) but the important parts of that story are explained in the story notes. Michael that you are commenting about is not Michael from the show but rather the partner of another character. ( he is the partner of Peter and Peter is John ( the stalker's) best friend. I'm hopful this clears up any questions. Thanks for writing and I'm glad you are enjoying the story.
Reviewer: Tagsit (Anonymous) · Date: March 22, 2014 09:11 AM · On: Chapter 18- A New Employee at Kinnetik
All I can say is . . . Wow! You got the stalker all the way to an interview with Brian and then in comes Justin. It was the perfect set up.
Now, just one question: what happened to Peter and Michael? I would have thought that after John had dinner with them and Michael used his therapist skills on him, they would have warned somebody? You've probably already got that covered and I should just keep my lack of 'suspension of disbelief' to myself. Don't want to bug you or anything - just wondering.
Sorry also that I haven't been reviewing responsibly lately. I got way behind in my reading after the site went down. Now I have to go back all the way to the beginning and re-read stories straight through from the beginning before I remember what's going on. Loved reading this for the second time just as much as the first. TAG
Author's Response: Tag:
Good to see a comment from you!!! Glad you liked the set up for John to be caught. Peter and Michael have not been forgotten. Remember ( well it was a few chapters ago and while you did just reread it, not much time as really gone by) that they had dinner with John the night before he left for Pittsburgh and the interview. I will be revisiting them. I guess I could have interspersed a chapter of them but since it really is only the next day I chose not to.
There was about a month ( with the crash of the site and my posting) that I did not post anything- that is a long time to remember stuff. I'm thrilled that you are enjoying the story and are still reading. I've now reached over 100 comments- more if you count the ones from the last chapter posted before the crash- but still 100 isn't bad.

Such drama! If John had not gone over to Justin, he might have gotten the job and still been able to stalk Justin. What will happen to John? Will the police hold him? Will he get the help he needs? Will Brian decide to let Justin be a father? When's the next chapter?

Finally, Justin will be able to breath again.
Can't believe John accosted him there in the hallway. True he didn't know Justin and Brian knew about him but still...
I guess he was blinded by his passion.
Now they can call Carol and she can get in touch with Peter (?) who can bring Michael with him to bail him out and begin getting him the help he truly needs.
Can't believe the cops weren't going to do anything until Brian told them about the restraining order.
Brian is seriously thinking about a baby. Can't help him. Now with John caught they need sit down and talk.
Author's Response: I think Brian and Justin can breathe a little easier knowing the stalker is not out there, but there are still many unanswered questions- what will happen to John? Will they have a baby? Will Justin paint again? Hopefully all will be reveiled.

I like how Daphne talked to Justin. Words of wisdom. Brian knows his friend well, he was right on the money there. Deb also had words of wisdom for Justin, I just hope he heeds them.
Author's Response: I liked all the conversations - my muse likes them (lol) Brian does know Michael well.
Reviewer: sophie'smom (Anonymous) · Date: March 10, 2014 12:44 AM · On: Chapter 17- Family Talks
Everyone has skeletons. Justin's making this out to be bigger than it really is. He'll see the difference when John shows up. Then he'll have a real problem. After that's resolved, a miniature Sunshine would most certainly be welcomed. At least I'm hoping it's so.
Author's Response: Justin is a drama queen, yep. WE'll have to wait and see if there is little Sunshine- my muse hasn't decided.
Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: March 10, 2014 12:07 AM · On: Chapter 17- Family Talks
Glad to see an update to this, Sandy. And glad that Daphne got to the real root of Justin's insecurities about having a child. It'll be interesting to see what happens now. I was disappointed that Michael was planning on exploiting Justin's past to try and drum up more business for Rage, though; disgusting.
Looking forward to your next update! *Hugs* Kim
Author's Response: Michael doesn't really see as explotation, just a way to make money- yeah- Michael is wrong- I agree

Oh I was so pleased to see this chapter pop up I wondered where the story had gone. Brian is such a supportive partner he now can say how he feels with ease. Well I wonder if the 5:00 interview is the dreaded Peter
Author's Response: Chris: So happy that you are still reading. The site went down and that took some time and then I changed betas. but now I should be back on track and posting again this weekend. Brian is very supportive- it took a long time for him to admit his feelings, but still doesn't totally admit them. Should be interesting to be in Kinnetik at 5:00.

I'm so glad it's going to be a good day! And that Brian admitted he was jealous, that's huge. Can't wait to find out what the family's reaction is. Maybe everyone will rally around Justin to pretect him from John?
Author's Response: Brian jealous is a favorite of mine- he won't ever tell Justin- still alludes to it but Justin knows better.

Being back in the hospital for the fourth time this year I could use a good thriller, and your story has it all.
Suspence, lots of love but above all a very, very, very creepy bad guy.
Well written, extremely well written.
Thank you for getting me through my treatment.
Big hug,

Author's Response: Soirsa:
So sorry to hear that you are in the hosptial for the fourth time- ( let alone one time) but I'm glad that my story has given you a much needed respite. I never thought of it as a thriller, but I guess all those Robert Parker novels I've been listening to have paid off. Glad that you are enjoying the story and enjoy the combination of romance and love.

John is beginning to give me the willies. Not only is he delusional, he's becoming deranged. Who know what he's capable of.
I do know one thing, nothing and no one is going to come between those two.

I am still reading and enjoying this story so much. I come over here to read since I noticed you haven't posting over on LJ/BJfics. I hope Justin is making too much out of what all their friends will think. Brian and Justin certainly need a break. Can't wait for them to meet John. Dee Dee
Author's Response: Dee Dee:
i quit posting on BJFic as I did not receive any comments and wasn't sure anyone was reading over there. I tried posting the first 9 chpaters again yesterday and see if I get a response. Justin has always worn his heart on his sleeve so he will always worry what others think.

Hi, Sandy! Great to see an update to this story.;) I do remember the previous chapter, BTW, so I think it unfortunately got caught in the 'great vortex.' As for this chapter, I feel a certain sense of foreboding here. Why do I get the impression that John may be the 5:00 appointment? He is really off the deep end now.
I really enjoyed your descriptions of the boys' intimacy here. I'm always a sucker for the two of them cuddling/snuggling in bed, even though Brian would adamantly deny it.;) Looking forward to the next part - and hopefully readers will slowly return and start commenting again soon. Seems very slow lately! *Hugs* ~Kim

Justin seems to be suffering from low self esteme. I'm thinking he needs professional help.
Author's Response: I think Justin has a lot of unresolved issues but being with Brian who doesn't beleive in Psychiatrists might make it difficult for him to see one. Daphne may be his best option at this point.

Happy to see more chapters. My advice: don't worry about how fast or slow the story comes. We've all been there. Some stories tumble out of your brain so fast you hardly remember writing all those words. Others take time, more effort and lots of thought. It doesn't matter as long as you enjoy creating the stories that you eventually get. I personally love this world you've created. I'm still here and still reading. Keep up the good work at whatever pace you want. TAG
Author's Response: Thank you for the advice and taking the time to comment on my concerns. This story is harder to write than any other I've written. Some, like you said just tumble out, while others take lots of time. I'm so happy you like this version of B/J- in my mind, they would have ended up together- no matter how the show ended- I'm a romantic at heart
Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: January 11, 2014 03:04 AM · On: Chapter 14- Dreams of Family
What a poignant chapter, Sandy. I could see this in my mind's eye. I wonder what Brian's answer will be to that. I'm glad he is being so supportive of Justin during this time. Looking forward to the next chapter. And your updating schedule, BTW, is fine. Consider you're probably working full-time like me, I totally understand, and I think you're doing just fine with it! *Hugs* ~Kim
Author's Response: Thank you for the support- and comments regarding the updates- it did have me a little worried. I do work full time but sometimes I wonder as it appeared I had more time to write when my kids still lived at home- shrug- Anyway- on to the story- I'm so glad you could envision yourself in that scene- to me that is the highest level of compliment when my reader sees themselves in a scene or feels the emotions.- thank you for letting me know.

When will Justin understand that dancing isn't something to be ashamed of. Having a stalker like he has is scary, but he needs to get past worrying. Brian won't let anything bad happen if he can help it. The question is will having a child make things better?
Author's Response: Justin has always been a drama queen and tends to blow things out of proportion- A child will definitely change the dynamics- but we will have to see if that happens
Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: January 11, 2014 12:27 AM · On: Chapter 14- Dreams of Family
I wonder how could Justin possibly equate the fact that he used to dance with improbability of having a child? He just needs to get to that place where he understands that he didn't do anything wrong. It will take time, but when he does everything will fall into place.
Author's Response: He is afraid that the child will be teased or ridiculed when he is older based on his father's dancing. Hopefully he will figure out a way to get over his self deprecation, whether he has a child or not.

Hopefully John doesn't catch on to what Peter and John are planning. A delusional person is a dangerous person. Will Ted figure out what it was that was bothering him? The suspense is building.

Oh, boy, this John is definitely delusional, and I think quickly losing the line between fantasy and reality. I wonder what's going to happen if and when he is interviewed at Kinnetik and Brian finds out who he is. I would hate to be that guy! Although I do adore a jealous Brian, even though he would have no reason to be.
Congratulations on the new grandchild, Sandy! That's wonderful! I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday, and I'll be looking forward to more of your story when you get a chance. *Hugs* ~Kim

Reviewer: sophie'smom (Anonymous) · Date: December 07, 2013 04:21 AM · On: Chapter 12- Conversations
If Brian is his observant self, all this will come to a head when John shows up for the interview since Brian has seen the picture of him and Justin from his party.
Justin is an extremely lucky that Brian loves him as much as he loves Brian and that there isn't much they can't face together. Mel should feel just a bit unease because out of all the relationships, theirs is the most induring.
Author's Response: Brian has a lot on his mind - but we shall see if he recognizes him.

Poor Justin. He may know when to ask for help, but he's still having trouble accepting that help. It's the WASP in him that keeps him thinking that dancing was not nice. Nicely done chapter.

Aaargh! No! Why does Peter's boyfriend had to be so clinical? Ugh. Now Peter's beginning to think he was wrong about the whole thing. How I wish they would just go talk to Justin about it instead. But I suppose I can see why they would be more apt to believe the person they know, rather than someone they don't. One step forward, two steps back. What a mess! I'll be interested to see how you resolve this one. Thanks for the update, Sandy! *Hugs* ~Kim
Author's Response: Michael- Peter's boyfriend is a therapist- ( I'm a licensed counselor myself so put myself in his shoes). As a therapist you learn how to judge people really fast - ( or at least get a good feel when something is off) so that is what I did. How am I going to get out of this- well that is the $64,000 question. After all I do have to add a little angst to my story0 hehe.

I'm glad to see that Justin is coming out about his dancing. And I do hope that John doesn't do anything foolish. Hopefully Brian can keep Justin safe. I'm looking forward to Justin's talk with Mel and Carl. I like how you threw Defiance into the mix.
Author's Response: thank you. I love Science Fiction and I really enjoyed the commercials where they showed the characters in animation- thought Justin would really like that too. The truth needed to come out; otherwise Justin and Brian would never feel totally safe.
Reviewer: Tagsit (Anonymous) · Date: November 10, 2013 07:57 AM · On: Chapter 10- The Morning After
Yeah! At least they now know who it is that's doing this. Of course, I don't think you're going to make things that easy for the boys, are you? I think John might be just psycho enough not to care about a silly little thing like a restraining order. Btw, big step for Justin to go public like that. After how worried he's been about nobody finding out for so long? Brave boy! Way to go, with this update! Thanks! TAG

Brian doesn't know about John coming to Kinnetik for an interview. Maybe they should talk to Paul. Give Brian a better hand up on what on with John.
Dangerous and deranged is exactly, what John is. Michael and Daphne can definitely tell them which way to handle him.

Hi, Sandy! Glad to see an update to this, and that B and J finally know what's going on. I'm glad, too, that Brian and Carol persuaded Justin to come clean about his past; I think that is for the best.

too quick in giving out John’s name. However, in this case it
will work out. I wonder how they are going to confront John
and somehow get him help. Will John even listen or is he too
far gone in his fantasy? It will be interesting to see how all
that works out. I don’t think it will be easy.
Once again, thanks for the story. It is getting more and
more interesting.

I'm so glad that Peter knows the truth and is in a position to do something about John's duplicity. Darren should be warned as well, seeing as he is sending him back to the Pitts to meet with a client.
Poor Carol has to be the bearer of bad news, and knowing Brian's temperament the shit's about to hit the fan.

Hi, Sandy! Playing catch up here - finally. Glad to see another update to your story. I agree with some of the other readers; John seems to have really crossed over the line here between sanity and insanity, which makes me nervous for both men. I'm glad Brian is being so supportive of Justin; I think it shows well how their relationship has progressed and evolved.
I do hope that Peter checks his story out further. I wonder if he might Google Justin's name before he even goes to Pittsburgh. I would think some information could be gleaned that way about him, and maybe shed a little more light on what's really going on here.
In either case, I'm looking forward to your future updates, and I'm enjoying your sequel. *Hugs* Kim
Author's Response: Kim:
This is definitely a detour from my usual writing and as my daughter said "creepy". I think Peter has questions about John- ( why would he have asked him about his trip) but we will have to wait to see how it unfolds. Glad you caught up and I appreciate the comments/

Thanks for the chapter. It is kind of strange though, as all the characters seemed like nice, well adjusted people. Sadly, John is fixated on Justin.
As pointed out, John has now merged real life with a fantasy. Even if Peter can do something to stop John, it looks like John is no longer sane. Now what? You have a very nice man (John), who has crossed the sanity line (several times). I do fear for Justin’s safety. You know what? Brian isn’t that much safer, if at all.
Thanks for the story, I am enjoying reading it.

Poor Justin, he's just too pretty for his own good. TAG
Author's Response: I wouldn't blame John for wanting him, but he's taken.
Reviewer: 7wildwaysup (Signed) · Date: September 07, 2013 10:01 PM · On: Chapter - Asking For Help
I know it's hard to accept help, but his friends and family are there for him... I just hope nothing happens to Justin in the mean time...
Later Darling ~ Kathleen
Author's Response: I think Justin is ready for help, he just doens't know what to do to stop the guy or better yet, who he is.
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: September 07, 2013 10:08 AM · On: Chapter - Asking For Help
It looks like Justin is finally willing to take some help. Brian seems to have all his ducks in a row. Hopefully things will go well.
Author's Response: Justin is willing but help can't be offered if they don't know the person.

Doom Da Doom Da. Will Peter get to the bottom of things? Does John need help in the mental department? I'll just have to stay tune to the next chapter to find out.
Author's Response: Stay tuned. Got to keep the suspense going and the readers coming back ( bg)

Dear, Dear John........are you really going to convince Kinney that he is wrong for Justin? Once upon a time,perhaps....but now ...........dear,dear John..
I love the new turn - going to work for Kinnetik, Brilliant! I hope that he is actually hired. Let him deal face to face with Mr Kinney.
Author's Response: Convincing Brian that he is wrong for Justin would take an interesting twist at this point in the game.
Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: August 16, 2013 11:13 PM · On: Chapter 5- Deceptions
Ooh...this John is getting even creepier now. Interesting twist having him be with Emmett at Babylon; kept thinking he would run into Justin there. Wonder if Emmett will have anything to do with identifying this guy later somehow? And I'm assuming this is a different "Michael?" Thanks for the update; will be looking forward to more. *Hugs* ~Kim
Author's Response: Your assumption is correct- Michael was introduced as Peter's significant other. John is creepy. when I told my daughter the premise of the story, she said it was too creepy for her and she wouldn't read it- glad there are others out there who don't agree.

Oh this John character is getting dangerous. I hope that Peter is able to learn the truth and stop his friend from doing something that he will regret, not to mention keeping anyone from getting hurt.
Author's Response: WE all need friends that recognize when we are out of character, but let's see how he figures out John.

Found thhis tonight, looks interesting even though i haven't read it's prequel.....hope you continue with this...in the meantime i'll go read the preceeding fic :)
Kimi
Author's Response: Thank you - I will be continuing the story- probably won't post until early next week- real life etc- but the next few chapters are written. I hope you enjoy the prequel.
Reviewer: 7wildwaysup (Signed) · Date: August 14, 2013 01:55 AM · On: Chapter 4- Decisions
Well at least Brian knows what Justin is upset about... Now they just need to stand together united...
Later Darling ~ Kathleen
Author's Response: Yep- this time there is not a lot of mystery- jsut resolving the issue
Reviewer: Tagsit (Anonymous) · Date: August 12, 2013 04:05 PM · On: Chapter 4- Decisions
Send in super protective Brian! He'll take care of Justin, find the bad guy & make him pay! Go, Brian! TAG
Author's Response: Brian has always been protective of Brian and calling Daphne was definitely the right thing to do here.

"He's mine. See how good we are together."
I must have missed something. I have got o go back to the previous story as soon as I get time.
Author's Response: I'm glad that you are enjoying the story. While the summary helps you understand the back story, there are things discussed in The Stripper in a lot more detail. I hope you enjoy the story if you have time to go read it.
Reviewer: no sleep (Signed) · Date: August 11, 2013 11:46 PM · On: Chapter 3- Discussions
Just when he thought it was safe. I love that Daphne bought up the mention of Justin having his own child. So many times it seems that Justin was absorbed into Brian's world without any thought to his own friends or life. I like seeing Justin outside of Brian's circle once in a while and apparently, his secret admirer would like to see that too, LOL.
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: August 10, 2013 10:55 AM · On: Chapter 4- Decisions
Good question - what are they going to do? The thing is you never think about consequences when you do something. I know I have some things I would change if I could. This chapter is very thought provoking. Hopefully there is a way to fix this. Looking forward to the next chapter and finding out if Justin has learned to ask for help. Want to know if Justin will end up a daddy too. : )
Author's Response: Glad you are thinking of both plot points, what to do and the fatherhood question. I plan to address both of them, but you will have to wait a little while.
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: August 10, 2013 10:47 AM · On: Chapter 3- Discussions
It's nice to see that after three years Justin's career is taking off and he didn't need to be in NY. Even better that Justin and Daphne managed to get together. Things are looking good, then Justin gets his own stalker, who sends pictures from his stripper days to him. What will Justin do? Will he confide in Brian? I'll have to read the next chapter to find out!!!
Reviewer: Reader (Anonymous) · Date: August 10, 2013 08:58 AM · On: Chapter 4- Decisions
I like the differing perspectives - the usual Justin,Brian and Daphne but also the stalker. This is general to the entire story not this chapter particularly.
Poor Justin, getting lost in a circle of negative thoughts. I hope that Brian will be able to break through it to him.
Author's Response: Thank you and I love your comment. It made me realize I needed to write some more from John's perspective so you will get some nice information next week on him.
Reviewer: Predec2 (Signed) · Date: August 10, 2013 06:13 AM · On: Chapter 4- Decisions
Hi, Sandy - playing catch up with all the stories. I'm really enjoying your sequel; love the spooky premise here and the idea of Brian the protector coming into play. This guy sounds like a real creep! Looking forward to the rest! *Hugs* ~Kim
Author's Response: Kim:
I always look forward to your comments. He is a creepy guy and I've never written anything so dark before. It is really pushing my skills as a writer, but it appears that my readers are enjoying it.
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: August 10, 2013 05:57 AM · On: Chapter 2- Do Actions Speak Louder Than Words?
It's understandable how John could become obsessed with Justin. Afterall he was in a bad place in his life when they met and Justin is HOT. But now he seems to have gone from obsessed to stalking. Sounds like he's in need of Daphne's services.
Reviewer: JAZZEPOET (Signed) · Date: August 10, 2013 05:52 AM · On: Chapter 4- Decisions
Not liking this turn of events at all. I just hope Brian doesn't go off the deep end here, I also hope that Justin isn't foolish enough to try and give up on his painting or try to convince Brian to let him handle things on his own
Author's Response: Angst queen that I am, I have to fill in a little more of the story before we see what will happen. Stay tuned.
Reviewer: YumYumPM (Signed) · Date: August 10, 2013 05:35 AM · On: The Stripper
Love this back story. Looks like there is going to be trouble though. Love your banner.
Author's Response: Thanks- glad you are enjoying it. Thanks to marny for the banner.
Reviewer: sophie'mom (Anonymous) · Date: August 10, 2013 05:12 AM · On: Chapter 4- Decisions
Why does poor Justin always attract the unhinged ones?
Pissed off + ballistic = Brian Kinney.
Author's Response: Brian has finally admitted that he loves Justin and wants to be with him, but Justin is still paying for his bad choices. Well paying may not be a good word, but it does explain the situation.
