There's something I can't weigh in on. I'm fairly young, much younger than most of the people on this form(as far as I'm aware). So I look at girls in their late teens and twenties like another man their age. (I don't remember a lot of 9/11 if that gives you an idea)

Ok, I'm making no promises, but I think I'm ready to deliver my final pre-threesome discussion verdict. Jack says at the end of the chapter that his arguments don't hold now. Why not? He brings up multiple valid points against doing it. First, he's worried that making love to Tara will set a bad standard for her. How does that still not apply? If you think about it, it's completely true. She says she feels bad because all the guys are not as great as Jack. That's the exact thing he was worried about! How is that going to change? It hasn't. Either way, it's broken. Maybe he sees the threesome as the best way to fix it. This is a block either way, and it defiantly still applies. Second, as I've said, Kayla is going to be a problem. She doesn't have the reservations she had last time, and she's had months to think about it. However, you're boyfriend having sex with someone else, even if you're apart of it and seem all on board, can still create reservations. It's not like I'm saying Kayla is the one with problems, but purely in any relationship, in this situation, there're bound to be aftershocks. Moreover, what's this going to do to Jack? He's the center of it. It depends on him. Tara and Kayla seem to be all on board with it, but Jack is the one who all of it hinges on. Tara wants Jack to vindicate her. Even if she and Kayla got into it, which they did before, if Jack wasn't interested, it wouldn't be the same. The outcome of how Tara and Kayla feel about it rest on his shoulders. How is he supposed to preform? Others have pointed this out. There'll be a lot of emotion and stress. No matter what they say its not just going to be "oh, no strings attached love making for fun." That won't happen. A few minor problems exist. There's the incest aspect. That's not as a big a deal for them, obviously, but I'm not sure if Jack was ever 100% on it. So much is culminating on how they deal and perform. And many problems still exist, despite what Jack seems to think. As for me? I'm still not sure what I think about the whole thing. I'll just have to wait and see what sort of masterpiece Joe weaves for us this time.

That's actually the reason I made the post about accidentally getting hit in the crotch. One, I'm not shy or embarrassed about it. I laughed with my friends after. This is a community that does show support. As much as I can like or know people over the Internet, that's how this forum feels. I can discuss things with others. We all should be able to. I thought, "hey, this would be funny to share" and did. I'm sure others on here share personal info because they feel they can, and they should continue to feel comfortable. So doubly, because people spoke out about feeling uncomfortable, and that others didn't immediately say "fuck you! Deal with it!" I think speaks for this community. Keep it this way. Discussions like this should happen.

Yeah, my tmi bit might have been odd. I agree. I like the forums for the updates and story discussion, not the somewhat creepy(no offense, but it is) discussion on various topics. (I'm looking at you Joe Long) while this is a place where people can mostly say what they want, it is the SITO forum. There should be more SITO discussion. I hope this place can be as accommodating as possible, and I suppose I'm sorry that what people talk about drove you away. You'll be involved in uncomfortable situations all the time. However, that doesn't mean you should have to subject yourself to them. With that, I guess I'll add more real SITO discussion. I said this earlier, but anyway, I've been rereading the chapters, and I have to say, I think the fight with Brad in chapter 15 is my favorite passage. It's just incredibly epic. It's well written, and I get this dumb "wow" smile on my face every time I read it. It's crazy that it took 4 people to fight him. And they couldn't even take him down. I just think "Holy Shit!" Every time. Other than that there's a smattering of passages that I really enjoy reading. In not sure I could pin down my favorite chapter though.

As I've said, I've been rereading the story and I just hit chapter 14. That's part of the reason why I asked about he reality checks. I just finished 13. And damn, when Jack helps Craig, it made me feel good. I don't even have a connection. But wow, I just got this good feeling. On the other hand, I have a bad feeling. This might be tmi, but whatever. Note: avoid dick injuries at all costs. I did that today. Bruised it. It hurt. A lot. Also got some cuts which sting like a bitch. I got hit, and I guess my dick decided to be a hero and take the blunt of the impact. "Don't be a hero, don't make a fool of yourself."

@jashley13, I was wondering about you're old "reality checks/author updates." They aren't in your stories anymore, and since I haven't found them, I was wondering if you still had them. Most of the people reading the story are up to date, but new readers come. I think it'd be interesting if you had them and posted them for the old chapters.

Lol yeah, I'm rereading right now (started today) and I'm in chapter 9. It's a fantastic story, and I get almost the same effect of reading it the first time through. Joe really knows how to draw in a reader. The only people who didn't enjoy this story (that I'm aware of) were those idiots from the blue site who were downvoting just because.

I sort of wants this to happen. I don't really want the story to pick up right where it left off and the threesome happen. Rather, I'd see it put off or discussed for a long time or not happen. I'm not sure I know exactly why, or maybe it will all be for the best. Joe knows best, anyways. SITO, even if it may of had an inkling of this characteristic at the beginning, isn't a stroke story. It just happens to be a story where sex is a part of people's lives, as far as I have interpreted it and what Joe has said. The threesome is not going to be just so some hot, no strings attached, sex. It'll have massive repercussions. In regards to my own writing, I find it funny that it's hard, or annoying, often times to include sex. I start writing a fictional story and I'm like "oh! All this other stuff has to happen." That's how a mushy love moment turns into a character having an emotional breakdown. Or the climax between two characters meeting up takes 7 parts to write before they even notice each other.

Reading SITO and other stories that people on the forum have started to write, I've decided to take a crack at writing myself. I've dabbled before, but never been able to commit to one storyline or another. As my life has only just begun, I don't have the array of life experiences like many older (even if only by a few years) writers. So I think I'll gear it more towards the fictional side, where I can play with it more, and so I can add real life details differently. Just thought I'd share and inform others that they've inspired me to begin writing.

Glad you're feeling better. You know all of us here support you. And as everyone has stressed a thousand times, take your time. We understand, one, that you have a life outside of the story, and two, that quality takes time. Don't feel pressured or rushed to keep up. You do you.

Joe Long ----> lives in Virginia or the area of ----> well known person ----> must be Obama. (Yes I'm aware)

Haha, that would be crazy, they've gotten in to it before, so that could happen. I'd think it be pretty crazy and cool to a certain extant. I think jack thought it was pretty hot, so. They still could really get into it though. We've all been talking about the bad, but right, what about the good? This could really help Tara, and bring the three of them closer. What about Tara though, is she on the pill? I don't think they have condoms, or are thinking about that. Imagine the repercussions.

In regards to the location stuff to, like I said and joe long said, I expect Joe leaves us crumbs. He obviously can't trust people on the Internet, we learned that from the blue site. However, I don't think anyone, especially in the forms, has even slightly negative intentions and I think he knows that. From what i can tell, this site doesn't deal with funny businessIf I didn't want people to find out, I'd be more vague. I'm sure he's the same. Anyone with sense isn't stupid enough to come out and say "Joe grew up in x place."

I agree with your post joe long. While I don't have the life experience of your level, it all seems clear. I also agree with beepboop. I was sorta hoping jack would say no. That would have probably caused other problems, but man, there's gonna be a slew of aftershocks from this event. I guarantee it (I actually have no clue). Kayla will probably have misgivings. While she seems 100% a ok, we know Kayla. She has a tendency to do that sorta stuff, like not having to tell Jack secrets. She's not perfect. Jack isn't either. He'll be under alot of pressure to preform, like joe long said. Tara and Kayla expect jack to be the perfect sexual and loving deity. Can he live up? I'm not sure. I don't know how the chapter will start. I sort of hope there will be a lot of talking. Maybe they postpone it, like joe long said again. Jack says yes but. They sit, talk it out, maybe say they will do it, but wait. Sleep, snuggle together, threesome the next day. Or start real slow. All the pressure is really on Jack and it won't just be all roses afterwords.

This all in a way is kinda creepy, if to think about it. We're(or everyone else) honing in on the near exact position. I wonder what Joe thinks. Ha, I'm pretty sure it all light hearted fan searching. I mean, we all analyze the shit out of these chapters while we're waiting for the next. I'm sure Joe expects we might be able to figure some of it out.

Ha! HA! I knew it, I so knew it. It's not like that was something you could avoid. I agree with that-one-guy. Talked about it, and thought about it, for chapters. If you read the forums before reading the chapter, sorry. I read to jashley's update and go to the story. Wow. I loved the chapter, the dioluge was perfect. It all set the ground work for the final stretch. The air of tension. The texting. Secerts! So great. I'll be waiting with baited breath for the next chapter. Honestly, I still can't pin down a real idea of any specific location. I'm a Midwesterner, don't have the same chains or geographical knowledge. The mountains could be anywhere along the Appalachians. Really though, if any one was so nieave to think THE question could be avioded, then they need to get better critical reading skills. The fact that Tara was coming along really sealed the deal, at least for me. The chapter had perfect hints as well. I'm just ranting now. This chapter was one of my favorites so far. 10/10

Yeah, Rhona bothers me. She is really entitled for working at gamestop(no offense to anyone). I feel that either things will get peachy again between Kayla's parents or go completely south. I also think there is ALOT of stuff going one behind the sences.

Was a shorter chapter, maybe I'm used to those 30k chapters, haha. So it was actually like a chapter and not an individual book. Not that I mind long chapters... Great work, another good chapter. Rhona bothers me some, kinda entitled for working at GameStop. The cabin trip should be interesting. I still think a Craig, joe, bella, becca trip would be cool, but thats just me. Also good to see Alan and Amanda hanging out again.

Dont push it, as much as we all want the next chapter, we understand that quality takes time as stated many time before. Keep up the amazing work

Two of my favorites, I must assume you are somewhat of a LOTRs fan? Real quality books and movies, great score too!

Man of steel is too dark, literally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du-eYiD9OfM (actually I can't make a completely fair assessment, as I have not seen it all the way through) The Dark Knight trilogy, however, is my all time favorite. I could watch those movies for days.

I don't know about job thing. It didn't seem like Mrs hannigan was thinking about moving, but it could be the job and travel that is bothering them. Or maybe it's just a rough patch. I'm not married but I assume most marriages hit those at some points throughout. I and I think(and hope) it may get worked out soon. Maybe jack and Kayla will try something to help them.

Oh yeah, now that I remember the fighting part. Jack just can't catch a break. It's summer, Tara has arrived, but still no smooth sailing. It makes the story real, and more interesting, but it's funny how there hasn't been off time. Parental conflict really does take a toll on children, and Kayla has to deal with all of it since she is an only child. I think Kayla isn't as fair to Jack, she still isn't as open with Jack and seems to hold a lot in. Since they're so close, while jack admits they shouldn't carry each others problems entirely, it seems to me Kayla would be better off discussing more. It's happened before. Jacks is all open and Kayla is "I'll tell you if I need to."

Ha! Never mind! Why was I expecting this: Chapter 30 ---------------------- “Well…I was talking to my parents about us going to the cabin…” Uh oh. “They don’t want us going on our own.” I was expecting something of the sort after she mentioned her parents and the cabin, but it was still a sucker-punch to the gut. “Seriously? Why?” “My mom kinda hinted that they don’t want us using it as just a sex getaway or whatever. We need to actually do something.” “Sex isn’t something?” “Jack…” “It’s a vacation! The point is to do nothing!” “Well, maybe they’re still pissy because they aren’t getting along but they said we can’t go up there unless there’s someone else with us.” I rubbed my head. “And they think we can’t have sex with someone else around?” “They’re parents. When do they ever make sense? Guess they think we’ll spend time doing something other than sex if someone’s up there with us.” I sighed heavily. I guess it wouldn’t be too bad having someone else up there with us; we could always just ask for some private time. I guess I was just disappointed that what was supposed to be a getaway for the two of us was now going to end up being a group thing. Again, didn’t mind having someone else up there, but I’d been planning on it just being the two of us. Sucks when plans like that fall through. “Okay, well…who do you want? Joe and Belle? Craig and Becca? Don’t know how much room they have up there, but—” “Actually, I wasn’t thinking any of them. It’s supposed to be you-and-me time.” “Yeah, well, if we have to bring someone with us, it’s not exactly going to be you-and-me time, is it?” “Well…maybe…” I frowned. “What are you thinking? Not the twins.” “No, not the twins. If we gotta bring someone with us, might as well be someone we’re comfortable around, right?” “Yeah…?” “So…I was thinking about bringing Tara with us. What do you think?” -------------------------------- Oh boy, this should be good. So Kayla considers Tara part of them. Hmm. That should be interesting to see how it plays out. I expect some of my previous questions will be answered soon.

“Well, darn,” Tara grunted, kicking the ground, “So you guys gonna get, like, a big group together to go up there and party? Or is it just gonna be you two?” “Just us two,” I replied cheerfully, putting an arm around Kayla’s shoulders. Well, I guess that ends that debate. Still think they'll lose there minds after a week and a party would be cooler. Oh well.
