I'd like to thank you all for the alerts and favorites that you've given this young story. Seriously, that means a lot. The reviews have knocked my socks off (thanks everyone who reviewed!) and I'd like to have a little fun now.
Some of you have expressed how much you're looking forward to the first major event in the story: Jake's little date with Paul. You can probably guess what his main topic will be, and I have a fair amount of material, but I think this is a perfect opportunity for some audience participation. Have you got something you've always wanted Paul to say in an insult? Got a one-liner, zinger, off-color comment, or a filthy thought that you want him to channel or maybe you just want to bait or take a pot-shot at Jake? Hit the review button and write it up. Any topic is fair game, all language is green lighted. Seriously, this is blank check time and we really need to make it count.
Lines, jokes, and comments that I like and fit the story reasonable well will be included in the exchange and you'll get the credit. Heck, maybe even think of a response Jake can make (can't be too witty, he's gonna be having issues). I may have to alter them a bit, but I think you know that.
So have some fun, and flex your inner bully for the team!
Thanks so much, and have fun with this!
