| uhm, firstly, Happy new year and thank you for sending me password. it's very kind of you.
The Puppets Theatre , I don't like it , it's not like it's bad, it's good, extremely good but I'm not satisfied , I don't want a happy ending for Marco, he don't deserve it. There's no excuse for treating people that cruelly, playing with their feeling. It has nothing to do with his unhappy childhood. I hate him.
I'm scared - do you know why? I don't want to know how old you are. You must be an old man or a genius, I dislike both ^^ (just kidding) 'cause your're full of exprience. I know a little Japanese, enough to read, write - I don't think someone who don't know Japanese well can write The Tide's Man and For Dress, a Tattoo.
You know a lot of things, I've never met someone like you (maybe I'm too young, but I'm 22 this year ^^)
I like your stories, I hope I can read all soon.

| Hello Andrej,
I've read some more stories... I'm impressed with the quality of your writing. It's hard to stop reading once you start. You certainly know how to keep your readers interested.
The Puppets Theatre - That one was hard to read. It's a good thing that I didn't know at the beginning that the puppets Guglielmo, Franco and Ugo were to be controlled by the one and only Marco. I thought it was three different stories at the beginning. Later on I learned during act five that Marco was doing it out of revenge with the three of them. If I had known that at the beginning I wouldn't have had the heart to read those stories. So when I read act five I already knew about their stories. I like what you did with the story and the fact that Marco made amends. The way you directed the show was brilliant.
Thank you Andrej for sharing your stories. I wish you all the best and a lot of love.
Warm regards,
Vincent |

| Hi there,
I first read the stories of yours from Nifty a few years back, maybe around year 2000, and later, I found your site and downloaded a few of the stories, such as the black cover, the puppets' theatre, tide's man, male house, short escape, the double...
Just this afternoon, I suddenly remembered the story Puppet's theatre, and try to find it in your site. Of course, i started reading it right away, and i am sure in the next few days, the story will travel with me while I am away because it is just wonderful, and worth re-reading it so many times.
Yours
Billy |

| Andrej,
I just read Epistolary & The Puppets' Theatre again last week. The lessons & wisdom in The Puppets' Theatre are Precious.
Take care of yourself Andrej. All of your romantic adventures have happy endings.
I want your love to have a happy ending too.

| hi
i've read a few of your stories, the english ones and man, you're a writer worthy of praise.
something just crossed my mind, perhaps you could have been a lot more famous if you had lived alongside oscar wilde, robert ross and alfred douglas, [......hmmmn what literary pieces would you have written....] though i doubt if you'd trade the experiences and treasured times you had and still have now
these are the stories i like most
1. epistolary ----- this one's really cool
2. happy christmas, neil and norman ---- i like the part here where norman provoked neil, norman's leaving neil's apartment and norman's apologising to neil the next night
3. dear eugenio
4. the puppet's theater
i'm 21yrs old. i have no knowledge regarding the italian language, so i can only hope that a lot of people will come to aid you to translate the rest of your stories in english.
hey andrej, keep it up!
happiness to both you and matt!!
H.M.

| HI Andrej
I'm an 18yo from Florida and your stories are awesome. You've got an amazing gift as a writer. I can sympathize with so many of your characters and find smiliarities with many of them too.
My favorite story of yours is Snot Boy; I've read it 3 times since I discovered your website.
I've read all of them and none were bad ... I enjoyed them all
However, my other favorites were: Boss' Toy, Day of Carnival, Forceps Mark. The Puppet's Theater was also really interesting with all the twists in plot.
I just enjoy your stories because I can find a lot of commonalities between myself and your characters in the feelings and thoughts they have, as well as the hurtles they have to overcome... Also I like to see stories where good, honest people make mistakes and are able to overcome or be forgiven for them...
Your stories are GREAT! I'm in the process of re-reading them. Please e-mail me when you finish your next story and post it on your website as I love to read them! Thanks !!
Michael

| Dear Andrej
The story "Happy Christmas" is special to me because I have always fantasised about taking a younger man 'under my wing' as it were, and both of us falling in love and becoming equal partners. I like the story and think it will appeal to romantics like myself.
There are stories of yours that I prefer (Epistolary, Boy San, and the story about the puppets). But that is because they appeal to me in a special way.
Big hugs.

| Hello
I am writing to tell you how much I enjoy reading your stories (in English). I found them first on the ASSGM site but now I go directly to your own site and download them from there.
If I had more money I would offer to publish some of them in a collection, because I think they are very worthy of having a wide audience. I like the way that love is so important in your stories.
I find your characters to be fascinating and there is so much detail. I was especially impressed with 'Puppets Theatre'.
Thank you for providing me with many hours of reading pleasure. Please keep up the good work. I look forward to reading more of your stories translated into English.
Regards
Scott |

| Your stories are so beautiful, filled with the beauty of relationships. Please excuse me for being redundant as I assume that you are a literature teacher. I/we got on the "net" recently and discovered your writing, first with the "Black Clover" and have gone on to others. I'm currently reading the "The Puppets' Theater" and plan to pass it on to my lover when I'm finished.
My lover is sitting next to me and know's how to whisper in my ear, you know, the things that lovers like to hear.
I hope that you and your lover are doing well.

| Andrej,
I have reread The Puppets' Theater two more times in order to get the full meaning and depth of the story. At this time I almost feel like a puppet with you pulling the strings. I start reading your stories and cannot stop until I am finished, they are so engrossing.
I am in the process of reading The Soul In The Cellular, have downloaded Counting to Ten and am now in the process of downloading "The Star's Shadow".
While printing out some pages I was surfing your web and I can't believe the enormity of it. I believe one could easily spend hours going through everything - there is so much.
And again, I am astounded by The Soul In The Cellular with the amount of history. Never having been good in history, I am wondering if what you write about is at all factual. I would really like to know.
With all my love,
Ed |

Dear Andrej,
I read Akim, Akim... over again and enjoyed it just as much as I did the first time.
I want to reread The Puppets' Theater as soon as I can, but I have been thwarted by many things. Thank you for posting my remarks on your web page.
If you ever come to the United States, you know you have a lover waiting for you.
Love,
Ed |

Thanks again for the good stories and keep up the good work.

| Dear Andrej,
After reading the "King of Sitges" I read "The Puppets' Theatre" and then "Epistolary."
I enjoyed the Puppets' Theater for its interesting plot twist as the interaction of the characters became apparent.
I enjoyed "Epistolary" less. But the reason is because I really got into the story and wanted to slap the guys into a sense of reality. But then, that level of emotional involvement is precisely what an author wishes to achieve, isn't it? Sebastiano is a real prick. So maybe I should not say I enjoyed "Epistolary" less, lets say I got pissed off at the fuckheads! So, Good JOB!!!
I wish you the best and I shall continue reading your stories (in English) as I have the opportunity.

| Dear Andrej,
Such a strange name for an Italian...
3/19/99: New stories on Nifty and ASSGM always make me visit your WEB site as I know that I can get a better copy, easier from the downloads. While I'm there I scan for anything else available and I found "The Odd Couple". Wonderful, wonderful. But not done! Please put it on the top of your list to finish. I even tried to read the Italian, totally unsuccessfully.
3/20/99 I spent most of today -- which was a beautiful day - indoors glued to the tube. My reward was "The Puppets Theatre" the most complex, perverse and charming tale of yours I have read to date. I admit I did get an hour and a half in the sun by the pool after Ugo (part 3) because I was very disturbed. It didn't seem like one of your stories. Of all the characters I still feel bad only for Ugo so the ending was bittersweet.
I have the Soul in the Cellular and the Kea Tribe to read but I must digest Puppets Theatre first. I'm not sure I won't have bad dreams. I'm absolutely sure I'm glad that I read it. That's the "perverse" part of the story.
Once again, thanks for the pleasure. Were these stories ever published in Italian? They should have been.

| Sr. Koymasky,
I want to take this opportunity to thank you deeply for your oeuvre of well written novels, novellas and stories. I only wish I could read it in Italian as one's work should be read in their native tongue. Being a French teacher and having a special place in my heart for Le Petit Prince, I found "The Puppets' Theatre" to be very moving.
I hope you continue to write such passionate tales of love and growth.
Most sincerely,
Al |

Andrej,
It has taken me a while but I have read the Black Clover and "The Puppets Theatre".
I enjoyed them both very much. I am impressed with your diversity of themes. I shall continue reading others than I find on your Web site that have been translated into English. Unfortunately I do not read Italian so I must await translation.
Have you written an autobiography? I suspect that too would be very interesting.
Regards,
Don |

| Simply, I am in Love with your stories.
I have read your story "The Puppet Theatre", if I am not mistaken. I know you have probably heard this a thousand times, but I will say it again. Your stories filled me with the hope that bliss is possible. To just be able to give yourself to someone, totally and completely. And to have the belief that the person you have given yourself to feels the same way. Not because of the sex but because of the intangible connection that could not be expressed in words. Its in his eyes when he looks at you, his touch and even the way he lingers when you are parting ways for a short time. Having the knowledge that he would move the universe for you if was necessary for you to love him and only him and he having the knowledge that you would do the same. Never faltering in the faith you have in each other. This dream I carry with me deep inside waiting for the reality to manifest itself.
Thank you for your stories.
It is so strange also that you are an Italian in Japan. I am of mix heritage. With my heritage it gives me a sardonic look that attracts men as well as women. I enjoy the attention but none them have bee able to provide me with that something, that somebody as Ugo put it. Alas, I persevere and hope for the day.
Again thanks for the stories. I am a slave to your beautiful mind that has created these stories. I am
in love.
Ciao

| Hi,
You have got to be the most frustrating of all the Authors in the Nifty Archives...
Of all the stories that I bring down yours and three others are the only ones that I save to disk, most (90%) of the other stories end up being deleted before I'm half way through them. I think I have read all of yours but the frustrating part is when there are huge gaps in time before the next chapter is posted
Yesterday I found "Puppets Theater" fortunately it was complete, but I didn't get to bed until 2 am, when I finally finished it.
To night I started reading the "Odd Couple" I have come to a shuddering halt as there are only four chapters translated into English, and the fourth one was written last year...
It is so rare to find stories on the net that have a believable plot and everything is in proportion, that it is murder to have to wait so long for the concluding chapters.
Please is it possible to get then quicker???
Kind regards
Nick |

| Hi Andrej,
"Puppets Theater" is such a delightful story! Certainly not one in which you could predict an outcome until nearly to the end. A difficult task for a writer.
I have read "Priest, forever" -- a beautiful love story. Currently I am reading "Life begins at 25", also very good.
I look forward to seeing more of your work. You should really look for a publisher and put together a collection of your stories.
Have a good week
Richard |
