Review Replies for Strip Me Bare Prologue and Chapter 1 Thanks to all who gave this new one a chance and read, rated and reviewed. I’m trying for something a little different here and it took me about nine chapters to find what it was so please bear with me for a bit. The chapters are a bit shorter on this one so it won’t take too long for it to start to have some direction. So on to the replies: Aduial: Hi! Glad to see you made it home from your business travels safely! I’m glad you like Erik and yes, I was going for a normal average guy who’s caught up in a world where looks are very important (or maybe he just thinks they are ) I have a lot of free time on my hands. LOL Don’t be jealous, I’m sure whatever you’re writing is probably way better than anything I manage to pound out. I have no filter so I just let it flow. I’m so glad you like my stories, it makes me happy to hear that! Vidalhbea: review 1: Thanks and I’m glad I have you on the line! Yeah he’s really insecure and I think part of his jerky, snarkiness comes from that deep dark place inside him. I know I loved the Fresh Prince too! Review 2: I don’t know where I get them either these people just hang out in my head and eventually I start writing about them so they’ll shut up and leave me alone. (Did I mention I may be a bit crazy?) Bree is really a good friend and she’s a bit more sane than Erik is so it’s a nice balance. Lance will show up again… and again but… well I can’t tell you cause that would spoil the story. Of course you can have another chapter. Review 3: I’m glad it’s even better on the second read. Of course he’s being too picky! I appreciate your patience and also your reviews! Tahn: I’m glad you like it cause his sense of humor is basically mine I guess since he resides in my head, so yeah. LOL It’s too funny to think like that since I basically see him as a totally different person from me like all my characters he has a life of his own… Again yes I’m crazy and no I don’t have so much free time because I’m in the loony bin, it’s hard to type in a straight jacket. RK: Yes, he’s supposed to come off as a bit of a jerk and also self absorbed to some extent but I think his attitude is something he uses to protect himself because he’s insecure about himself. We’ll see maybe he’s just an ass and well that would suck, right? Give it a couple more chapters and we’ll see… Lisa: Review 1: I’m so glad you like it! I’m trying for a different tone, not so much angst and drama (well a little drama but not much and a lot of it is in Erik’s head). I use this story as a pressure relief when my other stories are all dark and depressing. I’m glad you like Erik because he can be sort of bitchy and I was hoping people wouldn’t be too put off by him before we get to the meat of the story. Review 2: I used to drink Boone’s Farm, the strawberry one I think, now it would make me gag since I’m a big girl and take my wine dry. LOL Lance has his good points but I think Erik may have already made up his mind about him (not to say he won’t maybe give him a chance ) No spoilers for you! Oh and I watched the Blue Lagoon again the other day and I have to say, I had excellent taste when I was ten. Okay so that’s all for now. Thanks again to everyone who reviewed, I always love to hear what you all think. Chapter 2 is up now! CL

What they said... Don't call him a dom just call him what you really want him to be, an abusive bastard and all will be well with the world.

Chapter 3 is finally live! Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation.

Tahn I actually started a thread for help with it. You can take a look at it here http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/index.php/topic/59921-title-help/ if you want. I would also be willing to send you the first chapter if you want to get a feel for it. I'm really stuck because nothing seems to fit or say what I want without either being extremely long or cheesy. LOL Review Replies for Falling for Her Chapter 2 Once again thanks to all who read, rate and review! I appreciate the support especially on this one since well… yeah you all know why. So there’s not a whole lot to say other than sorry it took so long for this update. Vacation was actually just that and I didn’t do anything other than relax and enjoy some family together time on the beach. But I’m back and rest assured that the updates will be coming at a steady pace once again! So on to the replies (only two this time, ) Tahn: I couldn’t leave Riley behind, I love him too much so they have to move closer! I’m sure Becca will have issues but thankfully she has a good foundation of trust with Gavin and Lex already so that will help. I actually started out writing a different story where Lex and Gavin had already been together for about ten years and I decided that I liked their back story when Gavin was telling it to someone else so I wrote it. They were always meant to be a threesome with a woman so it’s always been the plan. This story is going to be a bit of a bumpy ride and I know that some people will not be happy with me in the end… Oh well you gotta do what you gotta do I guess… Peabody: I’m glad you decided to give it a chance. I hope you won’t stop once Becca enters the relationship because really it’s going to be fine, I promise there will still be plenty of Lex and Gavin moments. Thanks for the review! Thanks again to all who reviewed! Chapter 3 is up now! CL

I'm glad you like it because it's my outlet right now. It seems all my other stories are at a sort of dark point so it's nice to have something lighter in tone to switch to when I get depressed by the other ones. I have another one that's sort of humorous too but I can't think of a title for it so it's just sitting there collecting dust bunnies (and chapters).

I voted! I'm interested to see where this will go with reader input, I know there's no way I could write that way so good luck! If I could mention one thing though, you're story is really scrunched up and hard to read, an extra space between paragraphs would make it much easier on the eyes. Just a suggestion. CL

Author: CL.Mustafic Title: Strip Me Bare Summary: Erik is not happy with his love life. The guys he's attracted to won't give him a second look. A not so chance meeting with the stripper he's been mooning over in his Hot Hunks calendar just may change his perspective on what he needs. Feedback: Any and all feedback is appreciated but helpful/encouraging feedback is valued slightly higher. I also have a review/discussion thread that can be found here: http://www2.adult-fa...and-discussion/ Fandom: Originals Slash Male/Male Pairing: N/A Warnings: Anal, BDSM, B-Mod, Bond, D/s, Exhib, Fingering, HJ, M/M, Oral, Rim, Solo, Spank, Toys, Voy, WIP Solo story or chaptered story: Chaptered URL: http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600107796 I'd like to thank everyone that takes a look at this new story...Hope you enjoy it. Okay so once again that's about all I have to say about that...

@Tahn, I'm glad you figured it out. I woulda helped but I was probably dozing on the beach. LOL Review Replies for The Heart Wants Chapter 13 Thanks once again to all who read, rate and review! So I’m finally back from my vacation. I had internet and the time to write but the lure of the beach was just too strong. (Oh who am I kidding? It was the pina colada’s that kept me from doing anything worthwhile ) But now I’m back and if I had an extra set of hands to type out all the stuff in my head you guys would have a few chapters right now but unfortunately I’ve only got one set of hands and I’m not the fastest typer. I promise I’ll have new chapters out in a few days. Tahn: Who knows what Zeb’s up to… I’m not completely sure he’s as innocent as he seems. He definitely needs to press charges! Make sure you and Lisa save me a piece of pizza, just leave it on the window sill. Aduial: I’m glad you like Justin, I know that at the beginning people thought he was a bit of a jerk for dating Mandy to hide his sexuality but we all make choices and they’re not always good ones or popular ones. I think he’s the glue that will bind them in the end though! You shouldn’t have gotten too far behind since I was on vacation and just lounged about on the beach for ten days. Now I’m all recharged and ready to go again. Anon-ish: Sorry, it really wasn’t supposed to be much of a cliffhanger, it just seemed like a good place to end the chapter. Yep Matt’s the investigating detective, lucky guy gets all the crappy cases. This story takes place approximately ten years after Picking up the Pieces, give or take. Lisa: No shit, I think there was enough of that in the Doc’s house to last me a lifetime. LOL Yep, Matt’s on the case but Payne’s case was quite a few years past since this story takes place around ten years later so you’ll get to see a more mature and happy Payne too! I’m sorry about your computer try reading on a mobile device, they cool off faster. So that’s all for now, thanks again to all who reviewed! Chapter 14 is up now! CL

Now I can stalk you on twitter and tumblr. Lol and here too. It's like creeper heaven. But seriously I really liked Liquid Courage, it was good. I'm getting a bit antsy to get back home so I can start writing again. The beach is nice but my mind is so full of chapters still to be written that I'm getting a headache from it. Anyway, just thought I'd stop in and say hi!

You got it in one Lisa! And yes I am that old. I think I watched that movie a few hundred times when I was ten. Still love me some curly blonde hair.

Seriously if people want to gripe about how quickly a FREE story gets updated maybe he should make you wait longer. Talk about ungrateful. Have fun with your girls Magus you deserve a break.

Review Replies for Picking Up the Pieces Chapter 5 Thanks again to everyone that read, rated and reviewed! Just wanted to let you all know that I’m heading out for a vacation on Friday so I’m not sure how much updating I’ll be doing in the next two weeks. Rest assured that I’m just lying on the beach, not abandoning my stories! Who knows I may still feel like writing but… Oh my goodness, this is just so dark… I’m a bit depressed at how not happy this story is. Okay I’m just going to say this, the next chapter is still not a happy one but I think I may see a little improvement on the horizon… Okay so on with the replies… Mona Thompson: I know the gall those men have…someone needs to put a hurt on them, soon. I’m glad you liked that part. I think it’s telling of what kind of person Payne really is since his personality has gotten lost to his temporary insanity. I love to share! Thank you for reading and reviewing! Jo: I know it was too much… sorry. Yeah well you’re not the only one but I fear you may want them even deader after the next chapter… sorry in advance! Vidalhbea: review 1) Thanks, I’m glad you like it so far even though it’s a bit dark. I’m not trying to make him suffer, honestly I want him to be happy! I like that scene too, kids just love without restraint and I think that’s what Payne needs right now. Yep, I think Baz and Alan know something too. Review 2) OMG you read it twice! LOL Thanks, like I said I do it as much for my own mental health as the reader’s enjoyment. If I had to write depressing scene after depressing scene, I’d go nuts! Thanks for reviewing! Lisa: I’m stalking you… shh don’t tell Tahn… Yeah, the DVD definitely didn’t help Payne’s state of mind. The next chapter should shed a little light on what’s going on as far as the videos. Oh Ralphie… can’t spoil that one for you, sorry. Yeah, they actually teach a course on that, it’s really interesting how you can read body language and facial expressions. FortunateM: Yes, he definitely went over the edge but I think he’s strong enough to come back, if not for himself then for the people that love him. And thank you! Aduial: Yeah, it’s sad that he can’t let them get close to comfort him… They all do love him and he’ll get it eventually. I’m with you, I’m all for an eye for an eye style justice when it comes to heinous crimes… too bad we don’t make the laws. Getting closer to them actually meeting! Sakura: Believe me, it’s not easy to write all those emotions so I feel for you when you have to read it. I’m glad it makes you angry though because it really pisses me off too! Yeah, I’d like to see every one of them tortured and then shot in the head… Maybe, at least one of them will get what’s coming to them but the others will have to go to jail… Thanks for reading and reviewing! CoralReef: I’m so glad you like it! You’ll have to be patient though because I’m known for making my readers wait… Thanks for reviewing! Tahn: Yeah, it was pretty low of them. We’ll see maybe he will… Anon: Um… Was that a good OMG or a bad OMG? Guess I’ll never know. Peabody: Thanks, I’m glad you like it. I’m trying to update as quickly as I can I promise! Okay once again thanks to all who reviewed! Chapter 6 is up now! CL

Review Replies for The Heart Wants Chapter 12 Once again thanks to all who have read, rated and reviewed. I appreciate the support! Not a lot to say about this chapter so we’ll just get on to the replies… Aduial: Yep, he’s the man. Oh boy, I wouldn’t want to make you mad, of course I don’t have a cock for you to dump down the disposal but still, Yikes! Yeah, I think that Justin is probably the most mature out of the three of them and he’s been dealing with Shane for years so it’s really only Zeb that’s adding to his load (no pun intended ) I’m glad reading doesn’t have any ill health affects so you can gorge all you want! If you haven’t checked yet, I did leave a reply for your review on Falling for Her, it should be up a couple of posts if you want to read it. Tahn: I wanted Justin to beat the pulp out of him but he refused. I hate it when my characters have more morals then I do. Hum, not sure if it’s Sam or not, never gave it any thought, could be though, sounds a bit like him doesn’t it… That’s what I thought too, get in there and cuddle dummy! Anon-ish: I’m glad it was him too because I don’t think Shane could have knocked him out with one punch! There’s so much on Justin’s plate right now. It’s going to take a few chapters for him to work through all of it. Thanks for the review! Mona Thompson: Yeah, I really don’t get it either. I don’t think love can be wrong. It will take a while but eventually it will be accepted, I think, I hope, just like people came to accept interracial couples. It’ll take a while for Justin to get it out of Zeb who invited him to that party so you’re going to have to wait a bit… Lisa: Yep me too! There’s a whole story behind that but yeah, part of it has to do with control and fear. It’s a smaller Midwestern city, there’s always going to be at least one homophobic d-bag cop, I’d tell you his name but… LOL Oh you have no idea how Justin’s hero routine will change some of the dynamics here… (did you hear the maniacal giggle there?) That’s all for now, thanks again to all who reviewed! Chapter 13 is up now! CL

Aww, Tahn, I can always count on you to give me good advice! I'm really glad that you enjoy my stories. It's funny that you mention Remembrances because Katy will actually show up again in a most unexpected place! Part of the reason I didn't flesh her story out into a full length book was because I knew it would have an unhappy ending and didn't want people to get too attached to Jacob and then get upset that he died. I felt like Katy's story needed to be told but not in detail. I really wouldn't be forcing anything by posting more stories. I already have a few chapters written of them and I keep churning them out even while writing and updating my current published stories. That's why I said it wouldn't effect how quickly I update since I'm already writing them all anyway. They're lighter stories too not so much angst, which would be nice for a change. It's my bouncy ball brain, I can't concentrate on one thing for too long so it gives my mind a break to write like ten stories at one time. I'll think on it and maybe after my vacation, which starts on Friday (Yay! Beach!), I'll decide if I should post more or not. Thanks for your input Tahn! CL

Chapter 2 is up! Thanks again to everyone that's reading along.

Review Replies for Falling For Her Chapter 1 Okay thanks to everyone that read, rated and reviewed. Just a quick question for all of those of you that read my stories, if you would indulge me. I have another story that I’m writing (well actually a couple of others) but I’m hesitant to post them. How many stories from one author is too many? I’d hate to flood the new updates page with my junk… Let me know what you think, how many is too many??? Thanks in advance to anyone that answers! (Oh and just so you don’t think too hard, it won’t affect how quickly I update my current stories because I’m already writing them all at the same time anyway, just not posting them.) To those of you that have shared your very strong opinions about the direction I’m taking this story in well… Sorry but it’s always been my intention to make this a threesome with a woman and I’m sticking with my plan since, well, since the only way I know how to write is to just let it flow out like brain vomit. I’ve no control over it so I guess it is what it is. To those of you that have decided to follow me along this path and are actually excited about it: Thank you. Thank you for trusting me enough and knowing that I won’t ruin Lex and Gavin for you. I love them together so what would be the point of destroying something I love? I’d love to hear from you all on how you think the story is progressing so feel free to let me know! So on to review replies… Aduial: To one of my favorite and most loyal readers and reviewers, I will miss your comments on this story, they never failed to make me chuckle. I understand your feelings and your choice to not read this one is just fine. I have some genres that I don’t particularly care for either so I get it. I know you still love me! Tahn: I knew you knew it! Yeah, Becca’s had a rough go of it but I’m sure it’s not something a couple of hunky men can’t help her with… I’m glad you happy to see them again, I’m happy to have them to write about again too. Sakura: I understand you decision. That was why I put the warning at the beginning of the story. I’m just glad that I picked a good place to end the first story, giving Lex and Gavin a HEA in your head. I’m thankful for your continued support with my other stories and hope that you enjoy them! Lisa: I kind of figured people would suspect that it was Becca after all I did try to give you a little clue in the epilogue of FFH. Yes, she made a bad judgment call and paid dearly for it but she’s a fighter so I think she’ll be fine. I love writing Sheila and Riley, if they had an interesting story of how they met I’d be so tempted to try a het romance. Yes, Gavin had his own motives for ‘accidentally’ buying a building that was too big for his own practice, he’s a sneaky little bugger. I’m so glad you’re enjoying it so far! Thanks again to those of you that left me a review! Chapter 2 is up now! CL

Oh my God! This is totally random but I just realized that I based all of my MC's looks on a mishmash of guys/movie stars I had crushes on when I was a teenager. Ten points to anyone that can figure out where Gavin got his curly blond hair, even though I was only five when the movie came out. And you're never going to guess who Spence reminds me of, I'm not telling cause it might ruin him for you all! I have some pretty weird taste in men, that's all I'm saying about that.

Review Replies for Picking Up the Pieces Chapter 4 Thanks once again to all who read, rate and review! Urrrgghhh, this story is really hard for me to write. I want some happy! But sadly not going to get any in the next chapter either. I just want you all to know that there will be some at some point in this story. I just hate the books I read where one of the characters is violated in some way and then they fall into bed with ‘the one’ and they’re cured. It doesn’t work that way in real life and though I get that this story is fiction, I for one refused to perpetuate the myth that love/sex can cure the psychological damage done by rape. That being said, having someone that cares and loves you and sees you as something not too damaged/soiled/used to be worthy of love does help the healing process along so… Matt. Okay enough about what I think ‘cause who really cares what I think? LOL On to the review replies… Sakura: Yes they are from Loving Sarajevo. If you pay attention, you’ll actually find most of my character’s pop up here and there in each other’s stories. It’s hell trying to keep the timelines right and to not contradict myself but it’s like my own fun little puzzle game… Anon-ish: I hope to hell all that happens too! But… we’ll just have to wait and see won’t we! Thank YOU for reading! Jo: Well I'm glad it doesn't bother you! Don't worry... the chapters will still be there when you're done with school. Lisa: LOL You’re not an idiot, I’ve done that too and it’s frustrating! Thanks for retyping all of that for me! I’m glad you like Spence, I was a bit scared that people would hate him because Matt went to him for comfort when he’s supposed to be with Payne. Yeah, Baz is not really a nice person, he’s pretty much out for number one and that’s about it. It’s extremely hard for me to write from Payne’s POV, getting into his head really causes some problems for me because it’s just so dark in there right now it’s depressing. Spence will be around… Thanks I’m glad you liked it. I like Gavex much better than Levin, someone used that in a review once and it made me giggle. Tahn: Yeah, it was bad. There’s kind of a whole story behind the assault, it’ll come out eventually… There will be something they do to try to shut him up… Now I have to shut up or I’ll spill too much! Vidalhbea: I’m glad you like it so far. Yes Payne’s got a long road ahead of him. Matt is trying his best but unfortunately thing don’t always go as fast as we’d like them too when it comes to police work. Wouldn’t you like to know what Baz is hiding? LOL Aduial (review 1): I can’t believe you missed it either! I hadn’t heard from you that you didn’t like it so I figured maybe you hadn’t seen it. I love Payne too but… oh you’ll see. (review 2): Yeah you saw, he’s not his happy go lucky/crazy self right now. A) I try really hard to not go into graphic detail, it’s not meant to titillate it’s meant to be horrific. I try to walk that line and not cross it. B) That’s as much for my own sanity as it is to give the readers a break. If I spend too much time in that dark and gloomy mind set it depresses me for days. I’m glad it works out for both of us. I’m so happy you’re hooked. Thanks again to all who reviewed! Chapter 5 is up now! CL

Review Replies for The Heart Wants Chapter 11 So once again thanks to all who have read, rated and reviewed. This chapter marked the beginning of Justin’s POV and since nobody said anything bad about it, I guess the change wasn’t too hard to take. We’re going to get more of Zeb in the story now too so that’s good, I think… So on to the review replies… Tahn: Oh geez if I answered any of the questions you have I’d be giving it all away. No spoilers for you! Aduial: I’m glad you like Justin’s POV too. Yes, it’s hard to make those two halves of his life co-exist but he’s going to try. Justin has plenty to worry about and Shane feeling just as you said like his ‘dirty little secret’ is one of his biggest fears…but Justin will think of something, just you wait. Have you started reading Picking up the Pieces? I wasn’t sure if you tried it out and just didn’t like it or if you hadn’t seen it yet, it’s Matt and Payne’s story. Just thought I’d give you a head’s up in case you missed it. I’m sad to hear that you won’t be with me for Falling for Her but I totally understand that’s why I put the warning at the beginning. I figured there would be people that preferred to leave them in their HEA of Falling for Him and that’s just fine, I’m really glad that you enjoyed that one as much as you did. Anon-ish (reviews 1 through 3) LOL: I’m glad you get the humor in Shane’s internal thoughts. He’s a bit of a clueless goober but he’s a good guy deep down. The Quantum Physics of Cock Sucking would make a great title for a book, I may have to consider a new story… Thanks for letting me know you liked it. Lisa (reviews 1 and 2): I’m glad I could make you laugh. Yeah, it’s pretty bad that Shane is so clueless that everyone around him knows but him(well not everyone and there will be a little drama). Zeb’s life will definitely change for the better for having known them. Don’t worry they won’t find him lying on the hallway floor… (did you hear the dun dun dun after that sentence?) That's all for now, thanks again to everyone that reviewed. Chapter 12 is up now! CL

I've about given up on this now my best title so far - excluding The Debt - is...wait for it...drum roll please... How I Got Screwed but Ended Up Doing the Screwing... Huh huh that's great right?? *bows and leaves thread to thunderous applause*

You guys are so mean! She's doing her time so she shouldn't show up until at least the next book.
