The Little Prince By: Josh

This is turning out to be a very good story. I am looking forward to reading more of it. I also want to read more of "Danger Will Robinson!!!", "True Lies" and "Elijah".

Keep up the good work Josh!

I relally enjoy Josh's stories also. Especially liked True Lies. I was waiting for the next installment since it seemed to end kinds hanging as if there was more to come. Will be watiting for more of the Prince.

A fun story indeed. Thanks, Josh, for writing for us!

I too found some very nice touches in "The Little Prince" although I'm not sure yet where the story is going. I especially liked the description of the blond boy-eunuch Cody.

However, the editors did Josh less than justice in allowing several slips to remain uncorrected. It would be churlish of me to mention more than three:

a) a gentile embrace. Not a Jewish one? (S/be "gentle")

b) penal decapitation. Sounds like something in the Tower of London (s/be "penile")

c) Micheal. This is the Irish-Gaelic spelling, and I'm pretty sure that the singer wasn't that.

I do not think that Josh has anyone edit or beta read his stories. When he first started submitting stories, I offered to edit them for him but he did not respond. (I am still willing to edit his stories.)

I think everyone should have at least one beta reader. I have heard an interview with David Brin in which he said that he always has at least 30 beta readers.

That interview is either,

or,

(He might have said the same thing in both interviews.)

Here are some questions for Josh:

Did Cody have his erection prevention surgery before, after, or at the same time as his other surgery?

Does Cody notice that Prince has an erection? If he does, what does he say about it? How does Prince respond to what Cody says?

A kind reader sent in an edit, and I swapped the text.

No insult intended, but...while I did read it and it was more easily readable with the edit, I don't care for the theme. Written with different names, it would be fine...for me.

No, I'm not a huge fan of Michael. I just personally found it in bad taste to write a story about his kids at this time.

By all means, if there are readers (and there are quite a few), then the author should continue. It will be posted.

I tend to agree with my good friend Paolo about the timing. It's never been proved that the singer was a serial paedophile. Is it right to label him as one, when he is barely a month in his grave?
