Hmmm... possibly! I'm glad you like it though, mate. I've had this idea for a while - one of my fictional characters writing a muscle story. It kind of allows me to shake things up a bit and maybe do something which is a bit different to my usual stuff. I was in two minds about the fictional forum members/comments but it's too late now...

dreamboy Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 On 5/4/2024 at 7:13 AM, muscleaddict said: So a few notes on this story and the thought process behind it etc... This story basically started with a scene in my head where Mason meets a new guy, closer to his age than Nick was, and he brings out the same line he used on Nick - "My name's Mason, but you can call me Sir" - and the guy replies with, "Erm - no. You can call ME Sir!" The scene in the final story obviously panned out differently - sometimes you might have an idea or a scene in your head but when you come to actually write it, things have changed and it doesn't quite feel right for that particular scene/character. But the basic idea was that Mason meets his match. I didn't want this to be a big redemption story in the same way that Mason wasn't necessarily supposed to be a villain in the original story but I did want him to take some ownership for what happened and admit to himself and the reader that he knew he'd done Jason dirty. I also wanted to give him a bit of depth and a backstory. I met a couple of guys like Mason when I was younger who'd been closeted for years when they'd been younger themselves, had been married, some even with kids and then who'd come out later in life. I think that was a lot more common years ago, with society not being as accepting as it is now. I also didn't want it to be a "Mason meets an amazing guy and gets a happy ending" story. I did want him to let his guard down and open up to Vince in a way that he didn't with Nick. And it does obviously end with there being a possibility that something might develop between the two of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I repeat myself, but I will express my appreciation of stories in a British setting, even when they are about a British protagonist writing about a US setting. I'm very excited every time you write about Ozzie, Alfie or Archie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd actually forgotten about the fact this is an attempt at a story in an American setting with American characters. Hopefully it feels pretty authentic and if it doesn't - Archie wrote it, not me. 59 minutes ago, Hialmar said: I'm very excited every time you write about Ozzie, Alfie or Archie.
