Robby Ray Robby Ray Robby Ray (if you get the meaning, if not, no matter...and the original is Bobby Ray) What a fun series this is going to be. I so like Rubbersome's Pollination and can't wait to follow this journey. I'm hoping Coach and his wrestling team get pollinated some time in this story. You know I appreciate your wrestling perspectives.

I had some fun with her in Book Two and want to see her some more, too. But I really don't know anybody's final fate yet.

Personally, I feel that the inclusion of a female character, when done right, is not a bad thing in a gay sex story. If anything, her inclusion adds to the realism and gives the story meaningful conflict in her vying against the efforts of her now-rogue partner. I'm definitely looking forward to more of her, and discovering what her ultimate fate will be. Will she be killed? Changed in a different way? Allowed to remain wholly human as the world is overtaken, thus providing us with an outside perspective to the very end? This story as a whole is tantalizing in it's possibilities, as well, and I'm looking forward to reading the rest!

> I remember first reading the OG Pollination (with Mike and Smitty) way, way, WAY back in the day. It’s as hot and creative now as it was then! > Thank you! This is still then, though. We get to the new stuff with Part 10 > I can’t wait to see in which directions Book II branches out! > Hahaha! Your pun allows you to stay in the game! One of the big things to happen between Book One and Book Two was Smartphones. When I originally wrote this, I think we were all using Motorola's and Blackberries. A phone was a phone, not a mini-computer. But it's a game-changer in terms of story-telling. Imagine those boys in Rural Indiana now -- they'd be making Tik Tok videos of their transformations and all over IG with before/during/after pics. That's one of the things I'm dealing with now, as I'm writing Book Two.

I'm so happy Pollination is back up! I remember first reading the OG Pollination (with Mike and Smitty) way, way, WAY back in the day. It's as hot and creative now as it was then! It's impressive that you can keep such a large cast organized over such a long story. I can't wait to see in which directions Book II branches out!

I'd like to remind everyone that when I wrote this I was just making it up as I went along, following threads (or branches, rather) that interested me and seeing where they went. I had no uber-plot in my head, really -- only the most vague of notions. With that in mind, Snake was never intended to become one of the main characters of this story. But in working with him, he quickly became one of my favorites and so his role has grown. (And I've known the whole time what he's going to Canada for -- which you'll see in Book Two.) Same with the rural Indiana boys. I got into the relationship between Danny and Chuckie, as well as the relationship between Tony Lenoldi and his Dad, and they soon became the central to that storyline. Watch as W.B. and Keith all but disappear from the narrative. I'm pretty good about holding together a large cast, but sometimes characters slip through.

> Despite it having no sex and featuring a woman, I really enjoyed Tully’s chapter. Though we spent so little time with her, I feel like your writing expertly illustrated her personality such that I can see her in other situations. > Tully is a big problem for me. I went through an internal battle about including a female cast member in what is, ultimately, a gay sex story. Obviously, she's an X-Files homage, so her presence makes sense. I just don't know what to do with her in the long run. We don't see her much in Book One, but she's definitely unraveling the mystery in Book Two. I think my issue with her is that she's too good to kill off... but we'll see what I do in the end. At some point -- according to the rules of storytelling -- she HAS to confront her former partner, Wolf Murdock. > There is only one criticism I have, though, that you described her as a dullard, and she seems neither slow nor stupid. > Me? Use a word wrong? Not possible! Hahaha -- I meant to say that I think of her as lacking excitement or personality, not that's she's stupid. Perhaps the actual word "dull"?
