Re: To Keep No Secrets (Chapter Six added)
HOOOOKAY. So the critique to end all critiques. Yes, I am going to tackle all three chapters--plus prologue--in one post. Suicidal? I prefer to think of it as devoted. Your ...

Re: Horny Manatee
Jig... I love you. XD This is probably the most poetic expression of a marine mammal's sexual frustration that I've ever read. Then again, it's also the only expression of ...
