Hello all,

just noticed this thread now. And since it touches my profession, I have a thing or two to say.

The discussion of digital versus analog, and which is best, is as old as digital audio, and is hardly ever held in a sensible way. Because usually the people discussing which is best don't ...

Twinsenboy, indeed stories about priests and church employees that abused children are showing up daily now, and in many countries, showing that it is a widespread and long standing practice. The catholic church will have to take real action, and not just move the culprits from their current jobs to ...

This story is all over the news in many European media. I stumbled across it yesterday too, in a German rag.

Let me see if I got this right: Boys were castrated by the catholic church, obviously against their will, to cure their homosexuality, which had manifested itself in the boys being raped by ...

Hello Cainanite,

Though you may not have found any therapeutic value in sharing your stories, I found therapeutic value in reading them. The Choirboy remains one story that sticks with me.



That one was my first, and writing it certainly was highly therapeutic for me too! I poured myself into ...

Cainanite,

I will reply to your questions here.

1. I generally like the look of the new archive, and I specially appreciate the functionality to search for stories with specific tags. This allows easily getting the stories of the types one likes, while avoiding those that leave one cold, or that ...

Hello all,

Oh, thanks for that!

And version 2.0 of that poem is still not out. Shame on me.

You came late, Tad! Sorry! I wrote that story in 11 years ago. Alex is now 23, and must have debuted years ago!

I will keep you in mind for the debuts of some of my younger creations!

Well, thanks for the kind advertising! ;-)

It was back in 2000 when I picked up Alex from among the many young castrati who ghost around in the back of my mind, brought him home, put him on paper (well, bits and bytes really) and posted him on the EA. So Alex must be 23 now, and is surely doing ...

Nothing to do with the story, but with your workname. Have you kept up with UK news and the TV series "Britain's got talent"? Much news-space given over to a 12 year old called Rowan Something, embarking on a singing (boy soprano) career at the age of 12. Short of a surgical operation that I needn ...
