Thank You! I subscribe to every single word.
I’ve been trying to comment for a few weeks to express what this story did for (and to) me but almost everything I want to say was already said in a much better way than I would be able to say it. I find it astonishing how consitent the reactions to this „game“ are (at least from those who take the time to comment). Maybe it‘s a matter of „natural selection“ because those who make it to the end, do so for very similar reasons. But most of all, the way the story is crafted conveys such a strong message that it‘s impossible not to be affected by it. I‘m glad that I found it by coincidence and very grateful to Aaryn and his co-developers.
In all honesty… I don‘t believe there will be a sequel. Regardless how much it hurt to let go of those guys (as many others I was reduced to tears at the end), I don‘t think I would recommend a Straight!? - Season 2 (I hope I won’t get too much hate mail after this statement). It‘s obvious that you wrote this story as much for yourself as for your audience. You put all your heart and soul into it and it will be difficult to replicate the same emotional intensity you were able to create for so many of us with just a continuation of where you left off.
On the flip side… you are without any doubt a gloriously gifted writer. You have a sense of drama combined with a remarkable ability to balance intuition and self-reflection in your approch to storytelling. So, if you really mean it and you want to continue on this journey, I would rather see you start a new project that is completely different and reflects where you are on your path in life today. You have developed your own unique and genuine voice in this genre. And while it breaks my heart that I will - most likely - never know how Zack and Braden‘s relationship is going to evolve as an „official“ couple, my gut tells me that you won‘t come back to the story. But - as everybody else - I would be thrilled if you proved me wrong. Just my 2 cents ;-)
