I am simply an admirer of his fine work - 'The Book'. I started writing this story intending it to co-exist inside the Book's universe using the general concepts Blackie invented. I also was commited to NOT 'rewrite' the Book's universe. I just wanted to play around in it and have some fun. But after writing probably the first five chapters, I realized that even though I hadn't conflicted with it, I had added a lot of material which Blackie hadn't even touched. Like empathic abilities being completely seperate from telepathic abilities. So at that time I decided to remove any conclusive references (which turned out to only be naming the Cabal in the very first chapter) just so I don't unintentionally step on Blackie's toes some how. In my original plans, I didn't want to use any characters from the Book, just the familiar objects (ie the coins) and the mechanics of how telepathy worked (ie the symbols). In other words, I wanted to stay inside the Book's universe without altering it's landscape in any way, and most importantly not to include any explainations for the events that later took place in 'The Book'. When I realized I couldn't do that without changing my evolving concepts for my story, a parallel universe was born, one that doesn't have to go by its parent's rules. Mostly I did this in case Blackie ever does come back and finish it. He apparently was a college student at the time he wrote the Book. The comments he made at the last two parts of the Book made it sound as if he was getting pretty busy with other things in life, and his motivation to finish the Book appeared to be suffering. I just hope he is alive and well, and maybe someday finish the Book, with or with out the sex. He left behind a mystery that I would love to read the conclusion to. I developed most of the story in May/June, but started it in February (all in 1997). I originally posted Chapters I-VIII for the very first time on July 10th, 1997 at approximately 12:05 am. I didn't post anything before then because I was reworking it to a new structure. If I had kept the original structure, Tim would have run out of things to do before the tenth grade. Under the new structure, everything takes place over a longer time period, which is based upon my own highschool years (class of '89). I'm 26 now and still in college (I worked for a while before deciding that I definitly wanted more out of life than working as a movie theatre manager.) If I do complete this story in whole, the conclusion will take place in 1992, three years after my/Tim's graduation. If you figure the Book took place when Blackie wrote it in 1993, the result is that all events in my story occur before Bob discovered the book in the crawl space. Well, the very last chapter I intend to write would be a "what happened to" kind of thing that would include a brief description of Tim's life from 1992 to the present. It probably would not be more than a single part though, and almost certainly would not have any sexual content in it. With that said, the remaining chapters will take place during the highschool years. My life as a teen was nothing like Tim's. Just the surroundings and stuff are from my own highschool experiences, and as Blackie said in the begining of The Book's fifth part: "As occasionally mentioned, the characters in this story are entirely fictional, and any resemblance to anyone living, dead or otherwise rumored to exist is entirely the result of coincidence, and a wild imagination. No one I know is the least bit like anyone I'd write about, well almost no one. Okay, maybe a few, but it'd be hard to prove, even in private. Come to think of it, who are these people anyway?" On a side note, I'd like to point out something that I think is a strong indicator that I'm not Blackie... Blackie never wrote a single line involving male to male sex (that I know of). He was straight, where I'm just a little bent. :) However, I consider the mm stuff just.. youth experimentation, I guess. Something I've never done, and had no intention of doing back then, but now it seems like it would have been okay in the erotic sense. For some reason I find the thought of male teens getting it on terribly erotic, but I do not find men attractive at all. I have fantasized about teen boys to the point of where my morals were the only thing keeping me form doing something very wrong, so the male homosexual aspect of the story is my own form of therapy. I am trying to work myself away from the gay stuff, but will return to it at least once in Tim's Junior year since I have already developed the plot in my head. Other than that, I intend to only write hetero scenes for the remaining chapters. This may be a relief to some, and a dissapointment to others, but for me it will be a test of my will power to comply. I hope this explains why I didn't post Part 3 of Chapter VII. I have started it, but I have to be in a particularlly.. perverted mood to work on the male-male stuff, and that's what part 3 basically will be, even with Suzi's considerable involvement. Please understand I am not commiting myself to finish that part, but if I do, I will immediately post it. I also can't promise I will write everything I have planned in my head so far, but I can assure you this: I will not quit with a storyline unfinished. I hate cliffhangers, and I know how frustrating reading a story you find interesting and suddenly reach the point where the author just stopped without concluding the tale they were telling. I don't feel part three of Chapter VII violates this since it would contain a description of sexual activity that doesn't affect the story's over all plot one way or another. Well, it does effect the over all plot, but I explained the relevant bit in the beginning of part 4. If you have any suggestions or comments, please feel free to email me at rass_senip@usa.net. Flames will be ignored, spams like wise.
