SoonToBe said:We will be at 4 months this weekend from the last time I had sex with my wife. It feels so crazy to say that. Even more because, I wonder if perhaps I've/we've finally passed the point where it seems okay now. The desires are still definitely there, but honestly, it seems to be easier and easier to think about moving forward. The urgency I had so often and so deeply felt truly seems to have abated. It's been replaced by this ongoing simmering-almost-boiling desire that seems to be incredibly fulfilling in and of itself.
SS - it may be hard to believe but Steve and I are not in any collaboration on this. The only contact we have had is for me to seek Steve's consent/approval for me to take his narrative and to reproduce his story in the format I have posted here and on Darkwanderer. This he willingly gave and other than the occasional nod of approval from his direction there has been nothing more structured than that. I have been considering publishing to other story sites to which I contribute other 'literary masterpieces' but so far have desisted. Given the concerns of you and others who have commented then maybe I will do just that so that his wisdom is spread far and wide. I shall not advise the link to those sites here in public given that I believe the moderators will have some objection to such unauthorised advertising. However, if folks are sufficiently interested then please PM me and I will advise.SquirmingSub said:Curt - have you and or Steve considered publishing them in another location were one or both of you have a bit more control over the content?
Peak - I think you are making too much of this and you are crediting me with a degree of cunning and avarice that is just not true. Quite honestly I have no hidden agenda and I think that you need to accept that contrary to your oft spouted conspiracy theories that what has occurred here is nothing to do with some malign business plan that has been concocted but rather that there has been an error that has occurred which has resulted in Steve's past postings being removed. Steve has already advised that he is checking with the moderators to ascertain what has happened to cause this to happen and I would rather wait to hear from him what he has learned rather than than have you jumping on your metaphysical soapbox and maligning everyone and anyone who comes to your attention.peakmb said:Curt,
Whilst this might have all started for you as a brilliant wheeze. How to get a great story on line under your name (albeit with thanks) on various sites, and not have to invent any plot of deal with continuity for several books. It has turned out to be quite a disaster for Steve here. Basically, the back catalog of work was his credibility. To all those who look at his current thread and cry 'fake', he could point to years of progression and dialog that got him finally to this place. To all those that consider Sue cruel, or Steve weak or either unfeeling of their partners needs, he could point to times when clearly that was not true, and instances of however far apart they may look now, they have previously come back together many times. No longer. If Steve has not removed his own stories, and he sys he hasn't, then commercial interests have done that for him, and those commercial interests so far are only attached to you Curt. As you say, no deal exists with Steve, so if removal has been effected for commercial reasons it can only be because of what you started. You may be horrified by this no doubt unintended consequence, but that is not really the point. The fact is it has happened, and unless STBs interventions can stop it, his credibility is shot and with it his real ability to continue his narrative in the same way as before.
In view of this, trying to hype your 'story' on new sites via PMs is somewhat insensitive. Anyone on this site already would surely prefer to read the real thing.

I was very careful to say that you were almost certainly ******* of what might happen. Steve was equally *******. Still, now that it has happened, it is probably better to keep a low profile than keep protesting your innocence. The consequences after all, are real, whatever the original cause. Not bringing attention to it will not result in any action by anyone so I'm sorry but I'm going to keep banging on about it until we have an answer.
I have just as much to lose myself. I have more megabytes of content, more positive comments, almost as many posts and over 2,500 captions on this site and I would be very unhappy if anything or anyone deleted them without my permission. Moreover, it's all my own work, so don't think your irritation is going to upset me.
SoonToBe said:I did mention yesterday evening about liking it better when they're at our house. Her brief reply was that she needs time away too and that we should talk more about what we can do to make it easier on me as she also did remind me that she fully plans on going away with him again on a golfing-weekend as she did in the past.
