	Dear Andrej I must confess to not being very good at e-mailing to authors - but having read several of your stories recently - I have to say how much I enjoyed For Dress, a Tattoo - Happy Christmas Neil & Norman - Love and Underworld's Story - The King of Sitges - The Star's Shadow You can tell from when you posted them how lazy I am at writing to authors Your writing style is excellent - a professional level - and the translations to English are very good I am just amazed at how long ago you wrote these stories - you must have started at a young age - but as the stories date back to the 1990's - do you still write? There are bound to be a few stories that will not appeal to me - but please keep on posting - I really enjoy most of them! Regards Brian 68 - from the UK - relocated to Malaysia

	I very much enjoyed For Dress, a Tattoo. Well crafted and well developed characters. FYI, the word you were looking for in the last chapter was tenterhooks, one word, not tender hooks. A tenter is a device with nails (hooks) that has something to do with carding wool. Now I'm off to find more stories you have written. Thank you, Ryan Y.

	The story of Jun and Kazu ("For Dress, a Tattoo") was absolutely fabulous Thank you so very much. - Jeff

	Andrej... "For Dress, a Tattoo" -- I totally loved this story! I just finished it today. I have read several of your stories. 'The Quest' is the one that I recognized from the list on your website. Very enjoyable stories and I enjoy the international flair! Thanks for writing, Neal

	Thanks, Andrej - I don't know WHAT to say, but I was gripped, and glad of it, by the Japanese story "For Dress, a Tattoo". The character of the thug who did not want to be intrigued me, it surprised me how hot I found him, his physicality but especially his character. It was hot to see him hold and bend macho kids and make them want him - I guess that's a big gay fantasy, but it sure appeals to me - and the way he held out for more, wanting real love but stoically never expecting to find it. Similarly, Jun's understanding of exactly how he must behave while in captivity impressed me - impressed is inadequate, it's fantastic feat of the imagination, to understand and act with such penetration. Also, I really REALLY liked the way our hero behaves towards the other capo, letting him submit without loss of honor and forge a new alliance after losing the supremacy. It's EXCELLENT story-telling from a coherent world-view that can look at power without flinching and trace the course of its operation. Thanks again, Paul

	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. l.h.

	Hello, I read a few of the stories. The most are pretty good. The one I liked best till now was the black clover. It had a good story line. For a dress, a tattoo was also good. I also read The order of the closureds but I didn't like that that much. It has to much sex in it. I don't mind sex, but this was only sex, with as much people as possible. And also to raise a convent esspecially for sex is a bit odd. I, the president's son was also a good story. Although I think it a bit excagerated that someone goes that far for a bit of sex (in the beginning of the story). The rest of the story is good. The end is a bit far fetched in my eyes, but that is something personal. Also it was my opinion that they where too succesfull in too short a time to be realistic, but that's not important. the beach tales were great. Just simple good stories full of good sex. Thank you for your stories. Greetings, Floris

	I have only been to Japan once and that was several years ago. But I did recognize a lot of the things you used in the story "For dress a Tattoo" and really liked how you used them. I had never really thought of a fundoshi as being particularly attractive, since I only ever saw them on older (not in shape) men and they were always white. But the thought of a handsome guy with a red one on is actually kinda hot. but yeah, I would not be a very good critic for anyone's fiction since I don't write either. Hari

	Hi There! Found your site by accident a few months ago, & it is now one of my favourite sites... every story I have d/loaded & read I have enjoyed immensely! I am a 75 yo... lost my mate 7 years ago (Cancer... not AIDS) so find my time very lonely & really enjoy the stories here... I guess the love & devotion of the folk in the stories awakes all the emotions we had over the years & I can sort of re-live our lives. My all time favorite was the "For a dress a Tattoo"... I wept! But then I weep over most of your stories... old age catching up I guess. Anyway I love your stories... so there! George

	Andrej, I have visited your pages many times over the past few years. They are all done in excellent taste with color and layout. I have read many of your stories with great enjoyment. Many of them could be made into wonderful movies with taste and feelings. I especially recall "Life starts at 25" and "For Dress, A Tattoo". Your memorial pages are very heart felt and honors those who have left us with great sadness but also there bravery. Thank you for presenting this information for the world. Bill Baker

	Greetings Andrej Last night I fell asleep reading The King of Sitges and had to finish it this morning. I'm a passionate and avid reader when I make the time (so I read two of your stories yesterday). I enjoyed thoroughly your Japanese stories. I enjoyed them all: Boy-san, the one about the rent-boy, the fabulous For Dress a tattoo and Tide man (that one appealed to the hopeless romantic in me). The detail in your stories is amazing. Regards (Ciao for now) Scott

	For some time now I have been collecting your stories from ASSGM. I don't get to read them right away. But most recently I have read "For dress a tattoo" and The Eight Books of the Golden Collar and wanted you to know how much I enjoy your writing. Even with translations, your characters shine through. I don't know how you dream up such characters and situations but they are always people I wish I could meet in real life. I can only hope that you have published these stories in your native Italian and are perhaps making some profit from them. I have to think that you must make your living as a writer in some genre; you do it too well for it to be just a hobby, though perhaps the male erotica is just a sideline. Thanks for sharing your work and I hope you find the kind of happiness you grant your characters. FF

	My Dearest, Wonderful Andrej; As I mentioned in my previous email I didn't think I could finish the whole story "For Dress A Tattoo" last night before I fell asleep. I finished half of it. As soon as I opened my eyes this morning, I reached for the manuscript and rushed downstairs to my recliner to finish. I don't know how you can have SO MUCH LOVE in you. These stories are SO intense and loving! When Kazunari was shot, and the love of Jun was so overwhelming, I was just crying and sobbing like a baby. Never will I know such love. And the beautiful ending. Love does conquer all, doesn't it? The emotions, the feelings, etc., are SO intense that it took me almost all morning to come down to a reasonable semblance of normality. I have never read anything from any other author that does that to me. Sure, there are other love stories out there, and sure, I have read a lot of them. But I do believe that I have enjoyed all the ones of yours that I have read to be THE BEST! Again, my compliments and my love to you. If only I could show you how much I love you, I remain your loyal reader, Ed

	My Dearest Andrej; I have just finished reading "A Day of Carnival" and enjoyed it as much as all of your stories. I have also downloaded "For Dress A Tattoo" and will try and finish it before I fall asleep, as I have worked too much these past few days and am quite tired. Perhaps the story will arouse me and I will have a little fun with myself before I fall asleep. Who knows? Your love stories do that to me. How can I help it? Love you, Your dearest friend, Ed :-)

	Dear Andrej, Hurrah! You have finally found an editor worthy of your stories. I have been enthusiastic about some of your other stories. I was so impressed with "For Dress A Tattoo" (also "Akim, Akim...") that I wrote in praise. Even then, I mentioned that the story transcended the "translated" feel to the prose. I wished I could read Italian. What I wanted to tell you was that "Boy-San" was the best erotic story I've seen since forever. No qualifications about the language barrier. No nothing, it was great. Both you and your editor, Richard Hanna have created a wonderful thing. I admit, I cheated. I read the first chapter from Nifty, loved it, and went to your Web site and download the rest. So I am ahead of most of your readers. You had me so involved with your characters that I could barely read chapter 10 for the tears, especially when Yuki kneels in front of his brother begging forgiveness. You are a fine, fine writer. You have given me hours and hours of pleasure. Thank you so very much. Bob

	Hello, I just downloaded some of your stories. The first I read was Akim, Akim... and I liked it very much. Then I read The Golden Collar and Black Clover and I felt the same way about them (although Akim is still the one I prefer). Beside: the stories "Yakuza" and "Boy-san" are they related one to another ? Many thanks. Greetings from France Otmar

	Sir, For Dress A Tattoo is an amazing story. It's so remarkably good that I find myself gliding through it unmindful of the fact that individual sentences sound "translated." I don't care; I empathize with the characters; I wallow in the sinister, foreign atmosphere; I marvel at the intricate details of the (to an American) obscure world of the hereditary Japanese underworld. Christ, I admit it, I love the sex. It finally dawned on me that the mood of this story seemed familiar. I ran through my own small archive of stories I treasure and found that you are also the author of Akim, Akim.... So I owe you a double Thank You -- herewith presented. You have given me so much pleasure. So few of the stories in the Nifty Archive have a reason for existing other than as a thin wrapper for "and then we fucked our brains out." Not that I condemn Nifty. If you look hard enough, there are some really good stories in it. Some that would even rip your emotions to threads (My 15th Year -comes to mind.) But, in general the level of story quality is C-. Still it's an excellent resource and it's existence seems to inspire occasional orgasms of brilliance on the part of a few authors. I don't know how I got on this... I wanted to thank you for two excellent stories. AND ask if there are any more hidden in Nifty. I haven't read everything in it. I have to admit, I almost didn't look at this one as I didn't understand the title and am normally averse to tattoos. The best thing about these postings is the note that points out that there are many more of these stories just waiting the translation from the Italian. I have had only Latin and German (both a long time ago) or I would volunteer. I wish I could do something to get more stories of this quality out. Please, let me know if I can be of (other than translation) assistance. Bob

	Andrej- I read with interest the first available chapters of "Life begins at 25". I have to tell you I was a bit surprised at the lack of occupational and physical therapy that Jacques received. If Jacques has enough sensory function and motor control to achieve an erection and orgasm by self-stimulation, then it's purely selfpity that is responsible for his mother having to push him everywhere he goes. Nowadays, at least in America, he'd be doing for himself, and probably using legbraces and crutches instead of a chair and he certainly would be going to school like the rest of the kids his age. Other than that, your writing is as beautiful and lyrical as I've come to expect from you. I really enjoyed the "For dress a tattoo" story and am looking forward to reading the rest of "Life...". Please keep translating as fast as you can. cheers- Regina

	I read all your story "A Tattoo as a Dress". What a delightful story. I really liked the way you worked the original title into the last interchange of the story. And being the romantic that I am, I enjoyed the happy ending. Perhaps I will be able to emulate similar writing skills after sufficient ongoing exposure. Thank you for your conribution to web fiction. Randy
