This story was a bit of a stretch for me - but I like writing outside my normal boundaries. Glad you liked it. TAG

Wow I can't blame Brian for feeling like did while attending that and I'm sure a shower is needed to wash the filth of the handlers and owners made him feel dirty I hope Brian can do do something to help J327.
Note: I am a few chapters in and loving it, lots of tears. I just wanted to let you know because I'm reviewing the ones I have read and I didn't want to confuse you as to why I was reviewing so many in a short time.

Congratulations for the award! Let's prepare some mimosas!
I hope your muse will be happy and will boost your creativity.
Will you work on a summer delight in the coming weeks?
Author's Response:
You should definitely sip on a mimosa or two while reading this! LOL. And yes, we do have an idea for a summer collaborative story - will probably start that in June. Get ready to write! TAG

Intriguing start to this story, and I'm glad you could put your JD to good use. 😊
I'd feel sorry for Brian and Cynthia, having to sit so close to all those oily movers and shakers, if poor Justin weren't stuck in such terrible circumstances. Good for the blond that he's still a touch rebellious.
Yeah for activist Cynthia - love it!
No matter when or where they meet, the attraction will always sizzle between our boys. â¤ï¸

Nice job with this one! Very well thought out plots. Characters that were so believable it gave me chills at times, other times had me yelling at my tablet.
What a roller coaster of an emotional journey. I also caught some of the real life political angst that is currently going on mirrored here. Made me feel not so alone in my concerns. Thanks for this story!

Hi Tag! Most excellent ending. All got what was coming to them, for those that needed it. Rex & Luke aka Lucious (can I just say WOW!) came out of this amazingly well. glad for them.
and of course, yay, yay, yay, for B&J! J had his tattoo removed. I have to say, that part caused a lump in my throat. what a truly emotional time for him.
Lindsey, well what a c-word she is. You'd think after turning herself in, after everything she's put everyone through she'd have some sense of remorse. Nope, not her. Still thinks she teh queen B. I guess she is. Queen bitch that is. ;)
I'll admit to skimming over many parts in this, just to avoid the more violent aspects. That's just me though. I have a low squick factor. lol. I loved how you always develop your characters so beautifully. doesn't matter if they are friend or foe, I always have a good idea of who they are, what they're about. The foe's really give me the ick feeling, or anger, frustration etc, the friends give me a sense of warmth. That's a gift. being able to make the reader FEEL when they're reading. Granted, there were time I felt a bit too much during some of the hotter scenes if you catch my drift. lol.
Nicely doen and well put together. great endind and all tied up beautifully.
Looking froward to your next projuect whatever or when ever that may be.
Cheers,
Elaine

Interesting concept.
I hope Brian will come up with some kind of idea to help Justin.

Oh, and before I forget, please have a Mimosa (or two) to celebrate the end of an other story! It's so deserved!
Author's Response:
Thanks! You should have one too and we'll toast the story together! Cheers! TAG

Yeah Justin! Well done and well charmed into getting Brian to take Rex and Luke too. Can't wait to read those ingrates get theirs! Brilliant!
Author's Response:
LOL! All he has to do is say, 'Brian' . . . and he can get his man to do ANYTHING. Hehehe. I had fun with that part. Glad you approve. TAG

OMG! Been on pins and needles off and on with this story. Loving it can't wait for more

Hopefully, after this, you won't be that tense. The big stuff is past. Now we just make sure the HEA is set up right. Thanks for reading. TAG

*lets out breath had been holding entire time*. Oh my god TAG, just evilly brilliant writing, so love this story. Going to have steadying glass of something...am going to pretend I'm in Australia right now so can justify the brandy. Type fast, type fast!
Author's Response:
Thank you. Coming from a fellow Queen of the suspenseful cliff hanger, I take this as the highest compliment. I'm gonna join you in that glass of something, cheers. TAG

Yay keeping my shoes...boo hiss to ANOTHER cliffie! But because it's you and you're so good...forgiven

For odd reasons, such stories attract me... I won't even try understandng why. hehe But hey, you're writing it, so we must be the same kind of crazy.
Looking forward to read how this story unfolds.

I get why everyone says that Justin has no right to be jealous or upset with Brian about the tricking, but on top of all the psychological trauma and physical trauma he's endured, underneath all of that, he IS still just a teenager. And we all know teenagers are hormonal and moody and don't even need a reason to be jealous or pissed about something. Heck, you could say 'good morning ' to a teenager, and if they don't like the way you say it, you'll spend the next week paying for it, lol!!
Date: Oct 21, 2016 7:44 am Title: Chapter 1: The Business of Love
That was a very hard chapter to read and not cry. I'm not ashamed to admit I failed in that respect. I do have a feeling though, that when Justin finally trusts Brian enough to actually speak to him verbally, instead of with looks and gestures, he is going to have a LOT to say!!! I can't wait!!
Date: Oct 13, 2016 5:24 pm Title: Chapter 1: The Business of Love
Ok, so I'm starting this one.... I can already feel their connection, so write quickly.... Pretty please â¤ï¸

Hahaha! Got ya! TAG

Wow, I'm loving this story already, as much as the PC industry horrifies me. But it's fiction for our characters, and Brian Kinney, soooo. :) I'm hoping the industry is not true but the way you presented it makes me think it may be. I'm wondering how Brian is going to get Justin (J327) out of this, because I'm thinking that he will. Brian was brilliant in how he sold the idea of going to event to his assistant, and she can use it in her fight against the industry.
Date: Oct 07, 2016 6:01 pm Title: Chapter 1: The Business of Love
What a start!!!
I'm already disgusted by some of the attendees of the event, but we have Cynthia and Brian to the rescue.
So, let's go and hop on the train, to see where it goes.
Date: Oct 06, 2016 7:10 pm Title: Chapter 1: The Business of Love
How excited am i that you have a new fic. Finally created an account, now I have no reason to review and support theach stories I love and get countless of hours of entertainment OUT of. I'm just about to read this story... thanks as always love love love your work...

So, you're saying I'm doing a pretty good job, huh? LOL. TAG
Umm...yeah. That. ;)
Author's Response:
LOL! Sorry to get you so worked up. But I think you're right, that this IS something we always need to guard against. And Brian will be learning that very soon . . . Thanks for your enthusiasm, my friend. TAG

This is a pretty good reflection of everything possible in that new 'dystopian' world that 'could be'. Very good call writing this now, Tag.
Scary as hell because it could be only one vote away from the ghost of our future.
Author's Response:
Actually, it was staying up late reading tweets from you and others about the political situation that sparked this Plot Bunny. The way Trump and his cronies talk, it seems like just about anything should be allowed in the name of Capitalism. Ethics are a waste of time as long as you can make money, right? That's what led me to think about how far I could take it. And it really doesn't seem all that far a leap, does it? Scary, huh? TAG
Date: Oct 04, 2016 7:13 pm Title: Chapter 1: The Business of Love
Okay, Tag J.D. (I almost have a M.A. in philosophy, so there...Pllllttthhh)
I'm gonna love this with the angst, right? Oh, yeah... Give me some angsty H/C...
Such promise here and I'm gonna be on pins and needles with Sap/Stockwell/Craig. OMG.
I'm gonna go buy up all kinds of bribery goodies. May even throw in a glass or two of wine to keep the creative juices flowing.
Author's Response:
You are SOOOOOO gonna love all the angst, you Angst-pig, you! LOL. But send the baked goods and wine anyway. I always enjoy a good bribe! TAG
Date: Oct 04, 2016 1:49 pm Title: Chapter 1: The Business of Love
This story just rings a little close to what could be for me. Love your stories.
Author's Response:
IKR! That's what prompted me to write this. I was reading a bunch of tweets a few weeks back all about how Trump and his cronies think that they can do anything they want in the name of business, and the premise of this story came to me. If you think making money is more important than ethics, you really could probably justify PC contracts. Scary, huh?
Date: Oct 04, 2016 2:21 am Title: Chapter 1: The Business of Love
Intriguing storyline sucked me in and after only one chapter I'm hooked! Not surprised at all that Craig sacrificed Justin yet again. So many slimy characters in this one but given the storyline I'm not surprised. The Sap, Stockwell, and Bellwether is almost too much slime to take in all at once. Suddenly I feel like I need a very hot shower lol. This is so different from your usual light-hearted stories and I'm definitely looking forward to more!
PS: Shame on you for keeping us waiting so long😋
Author's Response:
I love hearing that my 'sucking' skills are so well honed - sucking you in and keeping you here were exactly my plan! LOL! And, yes, I've assembled quite the panoply of bad guys here. Just wait till you see what I've got them doing in the story. You'll not only want a shower, you'll want to tar and feather then too. Thanks for reading even though this one is a bit different from my usual. But, then again, it's cold and rainy and dark now, so it just feels like time to write some angst. Enjoy! TAG
PS - I'm so sorry about that long wait between storys! Unforgiveable, I know!
