Omg Gil. I know I've said this a bunch of times but your way of writing, like your language choices and turns of phrase, are just so engrossing -- you have this amazing ability to make prose surprising and fresh and I love reading everything you write. As I've said several times already here, you're one of those people who has a bunch of characters who are all super distinct and well-developed with their own clear voices, and they're all so easy to get invested in and care about. But of course Laertes is the best boy.

I also appreciate so much the level of trust we have for writing sex scenes; it's so fun to get creative and explore the emotions and motivations behind our guys and what is going on with them in bed. I find sex scenes interesting for character development but sometimes I can also find writing them repetitious and I worry that they're just boring and salacious -- with you I feel like we're always learning something and it makes the whole process so exciting.

You're just someone who is constantly surprising me with your writing and I love getting to bounce off of you. Thank you for being here!!!
