| I have just finished to read "Happy Christmas, Neil and Norman" and enjoyed the story line very much, a little disappointed that it did not continue while Ned grew up, although I must admit that it was a good point to finish on.
Thanks again

| Hello,
I've read two more of your stories. I was very touched, emotionally moved by "Happy Christmas, Neil and Norman." So sweet, so tender. Neil's inner feelings remind me a lot of my own emotional makeup.
You, are wonderful. Thank you so much for the joys you're giving me.

Just finished reading Happy Christmas Neil and Norman and have started reading Snot Boy. I very much like how you portray your characters. I feel like I am part of them and am feeling what they are experiencing.

| Hello Andrej,
I just finished your story Happy Christmas, Neil and Norman. I liked it a lot. I just kept on reading until it was finished! There is just enough drama and there is a happy ending. It's a love story about commitment. I like to find these elements in a story. It was very fitting to read this story at this time of the year.
I did read another story today, In Full Flight. It's good to read about stories in a European setting for a change. The stories on the nifty archives are mainly from the US or the UK. On occasion you find a story from somewhere else. So I'm glad to have found your site.
I was feeling down after reading chapter 6. I was filled with a great sadness. Your words touched me. I don't understand how some parents behave towards their children. Granted it's not always easy to hear that your child is gay. You have so many expectations for them. For
some of them it's like hitting a brick wall.
I'm 34 and my family know about me since last June. I'm new at accepting myself but it's the best move I've made. I've never felt better about myself. And to think that I was fighting it all this time! It's great that my family is really supportive of me and I know my luck. I won't have to give up the relationship I have with my family. I know it's not always the case and I already talked to someone through email that told me that his boyfriend was kicked out of the house after he told his family at the age of 18. The sad truth is that these things exists. Even the way Giovanni's father is behaving could happen. Human nature can be both very beautiful or very ugly.
The ending was very poetic. Not quite the happy ending that I was looking for but the fact that both lovers remain together is enough. I like the fact that this second story that I read from you is also about commitment. It's what I am longing for. That and romance.
Have a very nice and happy Christmas,
Andrew |

| Hi, how are you? My name is norman and I'm a fan of your stories. I have read almost all of your english translated stories, but the one I love the most is Happy Christmas, Neil and Norman. It was so wonderful and making me longing to have a love-love ralationship like they had, since I don't have such a luck since i have never had any lover yet.
Well, Thank you for your attention and I wish you luck in life and in love.
Sincerely Yours
Norman |

I have finished four of your stories: Goldfinch, Black Clover, The Boss' Toy and Happy Xmas Neil & Norman.
It is hard for me to pick my favorite between Goldfinch and Black Clover.
I really liked Goldie, your characterizations are good, and I felt I could see the characters in action reading the story. I was thrown off a little by the geography; I had trouble at times figuring out where Goldie was. Other than that, the story is good.
Black Clover, I think, is probably a shade more my favorite, after all. I recall reading chapters, then I would go home, and wonder where that book was with the Arabian story! Then I would have to shake myself to remember it is on the computer at work!
I feel you did an excellent job on the historical accuracy of the area and times in that story. I feel great that our hero succeeded and did well. Thanks for a great story.
Happy XMas... was the first story I read. I was slightly confused by the back and forth in time frames, at first, but I caught on. It was very realistic how you portrayed the slow blossoming of Neil and Norman's relationship, the confusion, back-tracking, and so on. Another great story!
The Boss' Toy, well, I am glad Sylvio got free of the horrible Don, but I have a hard time reading stories where children are abused/hurt in any way. Even movies showing kids getting hurt bother me. I know these are just stories, but I have a vivid imagination, and I get drawn into the plots as if they are real; that is why I get upset about kids being hurt/killed.
I have started the 7 Brothers story, I'll let you have feedback when I am done.
God bless you, and Matt: many long years together!!

| 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!!

| Dear Mr. Koymasky,
It has been such a long time since the appearance of another translation of one of your stories that I thought I'd write again to express my keen interest in being able to read the others.
You may recall that I have read every story currently posted in English, some of them more than once (Double Shunt continues to be my favorite, with Happy Christmas Neil & Norman and The Tide's Man tying for second).
Is it possible to say when some of the remaining stories will be posted in English?
Yours gratefully, Frank |

Dear Mr. Koymasky,
Earlier today I finished reading the last of your stories in English. Through coincidence, as we approach the holidays, it was "Merry Christmas, Neil and Norman."
Thank you so much for your generosity in providing your readers with so many examples of your creative imagination - one gift after another.
I look forward to the appearance of the others in English, all of which I hope you will post via the Nifty Archives where they can be discovered and appreciated by so many present and future readers. It is largely because of my discovery there of your stories that I sent them a contribution today.
Sincerely,
Frank |

| I've read a few of your stories and find them to be of the same nature of "Underworld"... namely that the main characters seem very friendly and likable. I enjoy reading about their exploits. I e-mailed you back in February to tell you how much I enjoyed Neil and Norman. I also got curious and explored your website and got a kick out of your jokes. Last week, I wrote to Alexander and had a bit of a pen-pal relationship with him. I've since joined the ASSGM-list egroups. Of all the stories posted I find that yours and his are most enjoyable to me. I look forward to more of your stories.

| My Dearest Andre,
I have read Happy Christmas, Neil and Norman and also Love and Underworld's Story and they are as beautiful as your other stories.
When I read them I can feel the love that you posses in your soul and I know that you are a romantic like me. I know in my heart that love is the force that holds this universe together and I only wish I were one of your characters in your writings so I could share your love and passion. When ever I read one of your stories I feel the love and wrap myself in its warm comfort.
I too will be soon 60 and am feeling that I am alone in life never having found a true love. The desire for someone to love the real me, the one with all the faults and frailties, the being that is I hope young and beautiful, within this aging mortal body .
I send you my love and hope that someday we will meet either in this world or the next.

Hi Andrej,
enjoyed your story about Neil and Norman, it really has some prose quality unusual for the Nifty Stories. The only thing I didn't like was that they couldn't live a happy and out-of-the-closet life, which should be possible even in Britain these days. The lottery win was slightly unrealistic, but then: it's a Christmas story.
I am curious how the story of the Japanese brothers "Boy-San" I found on your home page is going to end. I picked to read it first as I have some connection to Japan myself. But finally Netscape crashed, which I will take as a sign to go to bed finally, I will have to get up for work tomorrow.
Bye and sayonara, Andrej-san!

| Andrej,
In the past week or so, I finished reading "Males House", "I, The President's Son", and "Happy Christmas, Neil and Norman", and I am now in the middle of "Chipi". Allthese stories are so wonderful, and are written in completely differentstyles, so each time I read a story I get a totally new and fresh perspective of the unchanging fundamental theme of love.
"Males House" makes me dream, as I am married and have a little boy. I am so happy that everything worked out for Fiore and Daniele.
Then there is the incredibly beautiful love story between "Neil and Norman", one is older, and the other is perhaps straight. Yet their almost impossible love survived everything and grew even more beautiful with age. It filled my heart with such tender and warm feelings. I can actually feel their love and happiness when I close my eyes. It also made me dream.
In the "President's Son", every trouble that Dave went through touched me in a very deep way. In a sense, perhaps I too am not able to live in a way that I really wanted, yet life goes on. Even when I closed the story, the tears on my cheeks are not dry. I can still remember the last sentence of the story, I can almost recite it "Life flows just once, unrepeatable. So we can just live it, day after day, with all the joys and the pains it presents to us, waiting for tomorrow." I know I do not need to say anything more, because everything is right there in that sentence.
With a strong tight hug and a kiss...
Love,
Matthew |

| Andrej,
I have just finished reading not one but two of your stories in one sitting, I have the sore butt to prove it.
The stories that I read today were Neil and Norman and Chipi. I won't even try and attempt to compare the two because you can't - they are two beautiful love stories that each in there own right overwhelms, exhilarates, excites, enchants and spellbinds. They take you on an emotional journey - and I felt as though I was travelling with the characters of the stories - although while reading them they came alive!
It is only recently that I was informed of the very existence of gay stories - nifty and such - But these are tales of love and it makes a difference.
: )
I can't decide which is a worse form of torture - to read a chapter or two and then... ah... have to wait for future chapters to come along. Or to read a story in its entirety and not be able to travel along the characters road any further - after going through so much with them.
Thank you so much - your site is wonderful and the stories... I have only read two but I can't wait to continue my way through the translated ones available!!
Thank you also for taking the time to read this - you must be a busy man : )

Happy Christmas, Neil & Norman -- Truly the first Gay orientated story that I have read. I looked forward to the new chapters and hopefully there will be more. You're a very good writer!
Thanks

I just finished reading the whole 11 chapters of Neil & Norman which I found on ASSGM website. Although this story was written many years ago it would be nice if it can be updated to the present time when Ned would be around 15 years old. It would be interesting to see how their relationship endured throughout the 90's. Any chance of this happening?

| Hey Andre ...
Just want to let you know how much I enjoyed reading your story..."Happy Christmas, Neil & Norman". It is really nice to see how a straight guy & a gay man can actually felt something for each other. I love it simply because it is really a story, not just another erotic porno that starts and ends in sex.
Keep up the good work, Andre! Can't wait to see your next installments ... Take care & I love you man!
Your new fan,
Bobby

| 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.
Scott |
