Can I just say that I absolutely love you? This has been such an amazing story, and I listened to "All That I Want" with it, and you're right. It goes with it perfectly. A really cute story, and I'm really looking forward to a possible sequel.
xoxo

Thank you for a lovely story! I was so glad that it was more about love than the sex that's all over this forum. Your story is so smartly written and believable, I forgot that it was a short story published on a message board. I felt like I was watching a film!

Thanks for all your notes, the last chapter soundtrack, and the quotes. The latter certainly added strength to the story. I'm especially glad about the warning of the cheesefest; I must admit, that chapter was better received since we were warned of what was to come. But the end of Chapter 6 had me shouting at my computer, lol! I was so mad that Allie was about to tell Kyle's secret and then I got so confused by Todd's slip-up and then I just cupped my hand over my mouth for two minutes!

Thanks again for the great read and I look forward to reading your other stories.

As for continuing this one...I wouldn't recommend to do it anytime soon. I'm quite happy with the sweet ending and any more would have been unnecessary fluff. Anything that would happen afterward would be good to be left to the imagination.

p.s. I could perhaps enjoy a sequel in a few months/weeks after I reread this story a million times and wonder where are all the characters now, lol. Good job and keep writing!

Thanks for the story!

I'd been reading it a month ago, then lost track of it over Christmas. I just reread the entire thing. What a wonderful story! I cried a few buckets when Kyle and Troy kissed. Just so heartwarming. I'd love a sequel!

Hi guys,

Firstly thanks for all your feedback and your kind words especially; they certainly made me feel my work was appreciated. So it is with a doubly heavy heart that I have to inform you that the wait for a sequel to “Junctions” and the new mystery series “Tyler Calloway” will be a rather long one. I took up far too many commitments this year (hoping to make up for the last, in which I had barely any) and they are taking up a lot of my time. Also, I’m now in my second year, which counts with far greater weight towards my degree. So I don’t have as much time as I would like to spend on my hobby of writing (or indeed, anything else!).

However, it may please you to know that I do think about my stories often. I plan out the outlines in my head (TCI, in particular, takes up a lot of time in the planning stages alone, although I already have the solution to the mystery clearly in my mind, but figuring out clues that lead up to that denouement is another matter entirely). I have written out a couple of complete scenes (like with the sequel to “Junctions” – I wanted to post that scene as a teaser, before realizing it would be cruel to give you such a climatic scene and make you wait ages to see the rest play out).

Some of you have asked about my Nuke fanfiction. Well, that too is in the planning stages. Working with existing characters within an existing universe is new for me. I don’t know if I’d be allowed to post the story here as I’m a bit murky about JUB’s stance on using copyrighted characters. So the story (when it’s completed) will probably be posted on the boards of the fansite for the actor who plays Luke (fans of Nuke will know what this is).

Another idea I’m working on is a one-off story to add to the “Doing Hard Time” universe. I’m still trying to figure out if that’s a good idea. I don’t want to be seen as flogging the proverbial dead horse. If I do write it, it will probably revolve around the theme of Harrison’s first meeting with his uncle, and also clearing up the mystery of his biological father’s death. Tell me if you think I should go ahead with this idea.

I’m still thinking up a title for the “Junctions” sequel. The current working title is “Where the Road May Lead”. I’ll briefly summarise the storylines I hope (intend) to pursue in this sequel. Basically it’s going to be a bit darker than “Junctions”, but not lacking in over-the-top dramatics. Kyle’s going to start the new term depressed over his parents’ reaction to his coming-out. Allie finds her budding romance with Todd threatened when her newly-single roommate Kirsten hits on him. Both these things prompt Troy to come out of the closet to his college mates, but that may not have been such a good idea, especially when Kyle’s feelings for him are in doubt following the reappearance of a high schoolmate. And last but not least, Neil and Sean run into relationship problems when the former feels the latter is demanding too much – you guessed it – sex. All in all, it promises to be a good romp, when I finally get to writing it that is. I wish I could get down to writing it ASAP, but I hope you understand when I say it’ll have to wait.

Cheers
Justin
