Welcome back

goddamn! very good job. loved it.

Awesome! Orcs are the best, so happy to see more of them here!

phenomenal from beginning to end !!..thank you

That was EXCELLENT!!

There is something strange afoot, and i am ever so keen to read more! i am sure there is more mind control involved than has been described so far, which is why i rated the category lower than i might have. If there had been a mystery/suspense category, it would have been quite high. Good start! Looking forward to more!

True that the plot is not very new so far, but for me it is the realism and plausibility that makes it so arousing. Good setup and characters. Good writing. Good start generally. i hope you are going to keep it going. i am looking forward to more. Thanks!

Hey everybody - sorry to take so long to respond here. I figured you probably wanted the last chapter before you wanted my replies. @anon - THANK YOU! I love writing these :) [@Thom](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/908711) - Hey, it sounds like a rough first year. I wish you didn't have to do this with COVID as a concern. In a lot of ways, I think next year is going to be a different because two years worth of students are going to need their frosh experiences. You'll grow and change a lot through college, and I want you to know that's okay. I had a hard time my first year, but the next year I met a group of wonderful people and really started to have some fun. There are some resources your college might have that you should check out: counselling really helped me just because it was someone I could talk to for an hour every week, my campus pride club helped me feel like maybe I wasn't the only one learning about my sexuality, and if you live on campus RA's can be great people to talk to whether you're having trouble or not. Take care friend, you're not alone and there's nothing wrong with having trouble finding your place. [@Anonymous Fox](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/308354) - You can't build tension without building conflicts, and release is so much more fun with tension ;) I'm thrilled you said 'Midas Touch', that's exactly what I was thinking of when I decided to expand this to a full series. [@darkblade2814](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/243317) - I really like Sam in this chapter too. He seems like exactly the guy who should be the leader of a campus pride group. [@Mrdick](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/1001656) - Is it Dale? I bet it's Dale. @anon2 - Thank you sir :) [@the brain exotic](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/92123) - Depending how this goes, she may have to settle for a musclebound jock wearing glasses. [@Proteus](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/961566) - I think you'll probably get your wish. I don't know that I've ever written a *completely* happy ending. I guess the question is, happy for who? [@BlindSeer0](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/381024) - I think I'd like you a hell of a lot if we met in real life. You're empathetic, understanding, and forgiving. I love that. And yeah, I miss my multi-coloured liberty spikes too. Though I never did rainbow... [@MonsterMash62](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/3332) - If I were making a movie out of this, I think I'd tell Riley's actor to sound like he's trying to be convincing but he can't quite cover up his real feelings. Riley's got a major thing for Marc, I don't know that his support here it totally genuine. Or maybe he's just that selfless of a guy. [@Cris Kane](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/38728) - All wonderful questions that I can't answer without spoilers. As for the dorm, I'm picturing the school I went to as I write this, but I had to change the dorm names to preserve *some* anonymity. [@Catalust](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/920370) - It's a good question, I doubt Marc even knows. As they say, power corrupts. [@HunkLover](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/914611) - Thanks! I'm glad this chapter showed off some of Marc's humanity. I think we'll see more of that play out over the next couple chapters. [@TexMuscle](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/10002223) - Hey, I had a thing for rugby bros LONG before I read Absman's story. I don't know DanTai, looking forward to giving him a read. [@absman420](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/162063) - Sometimes you gotta steal a plot straight from King Midas. @anon3 - I'll be curious what you think of the ending. I've just submitted the last chapter, so hopefully you'll be reading it soon! [@mysterium](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/1416679) - Unfortunately, we're in the endgame now. Chapter Nine will be the last in this series, but I've been described as one of our most prolific writers, so I'm sure I'll be posting something else soonish. [@Viridian](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/16446) - Thank you! Your comments mean a lot to me, I love your stories. To be fair, I should mention there are a lot of authors commenting here whose work I love. I'm kind of a slut like that. I feel like you and I get Riley in the same way. He might actually be the most 'real' character I've ever written, and that's because he's written most of it himself. Riley's one of those characters that climbs off the page. [@PTutius27](https://www.gayspiralstories.com/user/show/979133) - In fairness, I use cornstarch.

Not reinventing the wheel or anything, but a solid, sexy story. Good work!

oooooo i like
