Hi there. Just re-reading some stuff because I needed to read something good...and this is still sooooo good. I know you have serious writers block and are mega busy right now, but maybe you should try picking this series back up and running with it. You've already created some of the back story so you could move forward with Tom's crush on his probation officer and Bill's response to that...and more incredibly naughty hook ups with Anis. If you have difficulty picturing Tom as a 16 year old now he's all grown up you just need to go on Pinterest or Google some and immerse yourself in teen Tom memorabilia for a few hours...and Bill at around 19-20 looked all sleek and skinny and super cool. So, a pretty please type plea from me...please, please, please think about continuing with your Convenient series...for little old me (emphasis on OLD rather than little). Hope all is ok with you, love and hugs, Helen xx
Author's Response: Hi Helen! You've probably gotten the email I sent you, which is crazy long and probably dull as hell. I need to re-read these stories and see if maaayyyyybe I can get back into the story and write another chapter. Tomshido really is a fun pairing....

You should definitely write some more to this series at some point, it's really amazing. < 3
Author's Response: You know, I was just thinking about this story the other day, and i think you're right! I'll start seeing what I can come up with, thanks for the reminder and the little boost of encouragement!

Mmmm hmm indeed. Ok, now I see why you're torn about KL continuing on forever....cuz this sounds like it's just begging to be written. But I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter what you decide, cuz whatever you choose to work on, it's going to be good.
Author's Response: I know I know, it's driving me crazy! I want to finish this one. I picked a story for the prompt challenge. And there are 2 other stories in my head I've GOT to get out! (one a fluffy halloween story, should only be about, oh, 25 chapters. The other one is serious and will take me a year to finish). I'm very flattered that you think it's all good! Thank you :)

I need more of this!!
Author's Response: I know, me too! I'll try to pop in a chapter next week, just for you!

This is an answer to the author's response I received below (Response to a response? I don't know what to call it! *lol*):
You say that this site is a mine-field to me since I don't like twincest. Well. Thing is, it isn't. Because authors put out all the pairings under either Main Pairing or Secondary Pairing, either under the fic's title or under the series title. So I always know what I am reading. Here, I did not know. Because you only put down Bill under Characters. That does not automatically mean he'll end up in a pairing with Tom, like you seem to think it does from your response here.
Also, just because a young virgin boy thinks he might be a top, doesn't automatically means he is. Tom hasn't tried this in this story. He might do so. Hell, even with Bill! And discover he ain't liking it. Or (god forbid) he ain't liking Bill! Just because Bill and Tom is in the same story, does not mean that they are automatically a couple. From author responses further down you put out you are done with Bu in this series, sad to see.
So I have a question. WHY did you sooooo painstakingly develop this wonderfully caring relationship between Tom and Bushido if you never had ANY intention to keep it that pairing? Also, WHY have you not put out Tom/Bill as a pairing under Main Pairing in your Series-summery and put Tom/Bushido as a Secondary Pairing, since that is clearly what you plan to do with this fic-series? Keeping Tom/Bushido as a Main Pairing in the two first fics in the series is fine, but Tom/Bill should be put as a secondary pairing on the second part of the series AND Tom/Bill should be put up as a Main Pairing TOGETHER with Tom/Bushido as a Main Pairing under the series summery. (I hope you get what I mean...) You need to make this clear to your readers. Seriously.
Might check out your other stories. You never know... ;-) If I do, I will leave a review. I am very honest, and I always tell writers what I like about their stories. :-)
Author's Response: Okay, I understand your point about being more clear about pairings, and I believe I fixed it. Because I saw this series as one-shots that were connected together, instead of one single story, I put the pairings for each story, hence Tom/Bu are definitely the main and only pairing of both stories. Bill is barely even a character in it yet. But I do get that since it's a series, readers might like to know who the pairings will be as a whole. I started with Tom/Bu because that's how the story starts, and also because it tied in with a request from Missy P for a one-shot. It's how Tom's story begins. I do love the Tom/Bu pairings and will probably do more of them as soon as I wrap up a couple others (which takes forever, unfortunately - my stories tend to go on and on and on and I won't put them on hiatus if I can help it). So again, I certainly didn't mean to mislead anyone, I just saw it from a different perspective. Hope this helps!

Same thing here, just like the first story in the series you build out a lovely "world" where Tom lives, and you've given him growth as well. The interactions with Tom and Bushido are absolutely gloriously written, I do really love how you wrote that. Not to mention how hot it was. SMOKING! Seriously! So damn hot!
I must say, I also love how you wrote Tom's mom. You got hints of her in the first part to, but she is really a fleshed out character here. I bet there are many mothers just like her out there. When they were waiting for the judge, really touched me, I gotta admit. And apparently it did to Tom to. :-)
But then... You really knocked my legs out from under me. And made me really REALLY fucking disappointed, pardon my french.
I don't read twincest. At all. I don't like it, unlike many other in the fandom. So I was very happy to find this series where there were no hints among the pairings that it would turn into a Tom/Bill story, since said paring was not mentioned either as a Main Paring nor a Secondary Paring. During my reading there was NO hints at all that Bill would even show up, which I was happy about. I even thought that the probation officer would turn out to be Bushido, since you didn't hint at all what his job might be, only that it was somewhat better paid then Tom's mom. When reading, it felt like a natural step, really. And would have been a cool development of their relationship that you've so carefully built up during these two parts.
But instead of exploring and developing a potentially interesting relationship, you shot it down and just let it go to the wayside.
I was looking forward to reading more of this. I really was. You write SOOOO beautifully. You really and honestly do. I love your language. But since I just can't with twincest, I will leave it to those that do. I hope you will dare to write another pairing again, and keep it to said pairing. If you do, I will return, because you are a really good writer.
Author's Response: I'm so sorry this site must be like walking through a landmine field for you! I'm glad you enjoy my style of writing, and I appreciate you taking the time to say so. As for this story, Bill IS listed as a character. There is no pairing of them because each chapter is a stand-alone one shot of a series. I hinted around that Tom wouldn't be getting involved with Bushido because Tom is pretty sure he's a top. This is an AU, so I don't consider the boys related (I prefer other pairings more myself - I just don't see a twincest relationship being very viable for most stories). I will dare to suggest that you might want to try Delusions of Narcissus. Yes, the topic of twincest comes up, but it's because Bill has some issues he needs to work out. There is NO twincest relationship in it, just the twins working out some issues of a damaged childhood. The relationships in the story are Tom/Bushido and Bill/Bushido until he meets someone else. You seem to enjoy my writing, so you might like it, if you can quell your nerves a bit about a few fuzzier scenes. If even that's too much, I understand, and hope you find lots of other good non-twincest stories on this site. If you find any good Billshido, let me know!

I think we're slashmates, you're seriously a perv after my own heart :3 I read into the 90s with KofK but then I skimmed the end when it came and didnt see what I wanted and gave up xO and I LOVED Give Me Your Guns! And the truck driver hats were the darkest moment, weren't they...ugh.
Author's Response: A slashmate!! Yay, I needed one of those! How'd you manage to get so far into KofK and QUIT!! It's so horribly good! Now, most stories will probably have Bill with Big Arms. Me no likey. But it didn't bother me in GMYG, come to think of it.... I really wish I knew of some other slash sites that were as easy to navigate as this one. I'd love to read slash fic on Ezra Miller (he's so thiiiinnn yummy. Wonder who he'd look purty with...). If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them (not that I'd abandon this site because it really is awesome with writers like you!)

xD haha, adorable. Though Raiju's stuff was usually too dark for me. Whatever Bill's look does, sluttygirly!Bill will live on in my imagination forever, and sometimes he needs a MAN, dahhhling xP
Author's Response: You're very right about Raiju's work being dark. Painful. I've never really recovered from KofK. I really liked sluttyboyishBill in unverdorben's Give me Your Guns. She's writing a sequel, yay! But other than that story, I'm with you - Bill needs to be slender and PRETTY! No truck driver hats! Face freshly mown! PRETTY! With a MAN taking control!

maybe creepy and stalkerish, but you wouldn't happen to be anywhere near San Diego, would you? That'd be freaky because I'm not too far from it myself...! :P
anyway, this was cute! haha I'm happy Tom's a "top" and that Bill's definitely more his type. I prefer Bill to be Bu's whore, but I think you know that ;) Damn I need to write some Billshido smut myself at this rate xD (actually I have a storyline in my head for a one-shot between them, but I need to catch the time and inspiration in the same moment!)
Author's Response: Not creepy or stalkerish at all! I am actually in AZ, but grew up in socal and go to San Diego a lot - Like most Arizonans. rnrnI hope you get a bu/bill story started - and finished! no one writes them anymore! They're my favorite so PLEASE write one! I feel like I'm all alone out here now that Bill has grown up and gone all butch and no one writes Billshido anymore. Raiju!!!! come back!!

I loved the first story in this series and I was so excited to see you started posting this again. Two posts from you in one day? You spoil me. Especially one of those posts involves blow jobs on the beach exchanged between Bushido and Tom. I'm interested to see how Bill and his parol officer get along ;)
Author's Response: Aw, you know I like the idea of spoiling you rotten. You liked the beach scene, huh? I was pretty damned tired when I wrote that, after having worked on KL all day. I'm pretty sure we're done with Bu in this story, unfortunately (I'm really starting to like Tomshido more than Billshido...what the hell!). It may be a few weeks before the next part, but I'll get around to it.

I did not expect Bill's appearance. Only Tom and BU. But it's more exciting. I hope you will continue.
Author's Response: Oh, this will definitely be continued. Thanks!

Author's Response: Missy P! Glad you liked it, this baby has you to thank, at least for the Bu part!
