Author's Introduction



     The story that follows is my first work of fiction. As a longtime non-fiction writer and occasional journalist, I've been published many times over the years under various names. I never felt the need to try my hand at fiction before, but after recently enjoying some of the stories on the GWG, ASSGM, and Nifty websites and erotic fiction newsgroups, I thought I'd give something back for a change.

     Some of this story is autobiographical, or at least loosely based on things that really happened to me. Some of it falls into the category of "I wish it happened this way." Other parts are completely fictional, while a few are closer to "it almost happened," or even "I wish this had never happened at all." More than I'd like to admit is 100% true, but I've changed most of the names, dates, and locations to protect everyone involved, innocent and guilty.

     The usual restrictions apply: don't read this if you're offended by sexually-explicit male homoerotic material, or if you're under 18. And since most of the story takes place in the halcyon days from 1968 to 1970, my characters don't practice safe sex. Things are different nowadays.

     Note that this is a revised version of the story first uploaded to various Usenet newsgroups in early April of 2001. Several chapters have been combined, but virtually all of the original text has been retained (with several vital additions and corrections, totaling about 600 additional words). This text may be reprinted anywhere on the Net, without permission, so long as it's done intact, without a single word changed, and preserving my copyright and Email address. © 2001, John Francis.

     Constructive criticisms are welcome; spams and other annoyances will be flushed so fast, your head will spin.

     On with the show.
