| Hi there!
I was really delighted to go through pages and pages of your writing and must say you are a truly gifted writer and hope that you carry on writing the way that you do.
I have been looking for reading material like yours for a long time now, and am proud to have
succeeded in finding your site filled with impressive writing styles. I am not done reading all of them as yet, but based on what i have read i reckon you one with "great potential".
You should be proud to know therefore, that i'm now your biggest fan though if you do not mind, would also like to share a few of my ideas with you. Firstly i think the love/sex scenes you try to portray are everything from intense to pleasurable... thoroughly exciting yet for some reason seem to be too abrupt, quick and short.
Please do not get me wrong it's ok to have this style for some of the topics like the one on the "Writings from prison" or even on "We are presumed to be enemies" as the style went well with the situation portrayed but i seem to think to repeat this style over and over would not do justice to all other topics or scenerios you might want to cover. Maybe you should try a different approach from time to time something sensual to begin with that is sensual and not vulger and then you can build up the heat based on that... kind of like soft ball you know... the three basses... seconly i think you should experient a bit with modern day writing as well, giving a bit of "reality of today" to your writing.
Keep up the good work...good luck to you and all the best for the future....
Best regards,
G. |

| Dear Andrej
Thank you very much for your lovely stories. They are really great. Some are sad in their own way but they still do show your, as a writer, hope for better future and hope for understaning and mutual love.
I have read, until this point, shelves 1 and 2, and as it appears, some other stories from other shelves. My favourite is "We are Presumed to be Enemies". I couldn't stop until I read the last words. The storyline was very exciting, the characters escaped always with only slightest luck, in one time, I though, that it would be real shame if they were to be lost. But that didn't happen and I sighed relieved when they did make to Switzerland after all! God bless the nuns... LOL
Do I have any critcism? Not really. Each story has its own line, follows its own pattern. I must admit that though you are the writer in every occasion, I do not feel as your style stays unchanged. While writing through the eyes of a youth, you find their distinct features and the other way around. No-one can really be always 100% content but you have managed, at least for me, to reach almost that. When I do compare your storytelling and your thinking with those that have been posted on Nifty, I must say that you're a flaming star among them. The only thing that I found even more positive, is, that you have tried some sci-fi stories as in "The Closureds' Order" that I also very much like as I do like these kinds of stories especially. So, please keep going!
My best regards to you and to Matt as well, of course.

| Hi Andrej,
I just finished reading Presumed to Be Enemies. It is an amazing story, one of the best I've ever found on the Web. Beautiful narrative flow, well-drawn charactiers, fabulous dialogue. It is unusual to find a such compelling narrative that also has hot sex scenes. I particularly like the fact that you translated it yourself rather than having someone else do it; it gives the story an exotic feel and a particularly non-English rhythm. I want to emphasize: You have written a great story.
Respectfully
Griff |

| Andrej,
Infamous Trade! It is another Great tale of yours.
I have Enjoyed your Beautiful tales for years. Ever since I hooked up to the internet & found your first stories on Nifty I have loved them. I then discovered your web site & began my liking & respecting you as a man not just an Authour. I have so much respect & admiration for you.
I was So happy to read about you & Matt falling in love. I pray & wish, you both, True Happiness Forever!
You have 112 stories. 76 are not translated into English yet. I have read all 36 translated into English more than once. I can't wait until more of the 76 are translated.
Each of your Beautiful adventures has taught me something valuable.
My favourite is Italian Brothers 1 The Corporal. The love between Enzo & Ruggiero is just full of such passion, devotion, loyalty, innocence, humility, strength & weakness. I have read this Love story 5 times.
I have other favourites as well.
I love Chipi, Dear Eugenio, I, The President's Son, King of Sitges, 7 Brothers For Mel Baxter, Snot Boy & We Are Presumed To Be Enemies.
In Snot Boy & Chipi I love the role or power reversal of the two main characters. I just love that it doesn't affect there love for each other.
I think we all dream & long for True Love & I had that for 15 years. Your romances touch my heart & soul.
I know that your writings have been translated by a number of different people & now Matt. If I may be so bold as to mention that you always had them translated with that certain amount of "broken English." This adds a foreign & allusive quality to your romantic adventures. For me, a Canadian, it enhances the romance.
Your web page is Absolutely Fantastic. I now visit the Hunger Site everyday to in my small way help. I found that while exploring your web site.
While trying to bring an end to my email, to you before I bore you, maybe my Favourite tale is you & Matt finding each other. That is ironic but maybe your true life romance & meeting of two souls is the Best.
Thank you Andrej for Many & Many hours of Learning & Enjoyment. I will continue reading your stories new & old. You are a Bright light in my life.
Now you & Matt are also a Bright light in my life.
Ciao.

Andrej,
I just wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed your stories.
My favorite is "We are Presumed to be Enemies".
I noticed in one of your stories, you told of interviews with athletes that are gay. If these are true, could you possibly tell me if the information I have on World Cup Ski Racers could also be true. I was told that many of these guys are gay even though some marry to hide it. I just curious to know if some of the people I admire are like me.
Thank you again and thank you for all the great stories.
Sincerely,
Jodie |

| Hi Andrej--
I really liked reading A Priest Forever and Presumed Enemies. These are good stories.
I am busy with school. How are you? My English is getting better. I am going swimming now, then studying.
Bye

| Dear Andrej,
I am a 27-year-old American male. The reason I am writing to you is that I want to express my gratefulness to you. You see, I am married to a beautiful wife and we have two kids, yet sometimes I wonder what it will be like to be with another man. God knows, I wanted so much, however, I cannot be unfaithful to my wife. It eats me, drives me crazy sometimes. The Internet has certainly opened up a lot of possibilities. I like to read, I like to see pictures of naked men, fantasizing how beautiful it would be to love and be loved and to make love to another handsome man. I have read tons of stories that are just sex. I enjoyed them a lot but they left me an empty feeling afterwards. I think you understand what I am talking about.
Yesterday, just by coincidence, I read one of your stories "We are Presumed to be Enemies." To tell you the truth, I never liked long stories before, but thank god, I read your story. I stayed in my library the whole night and finished reading "Enemies" and later "The Star's Shadow." I skipped dinner and just read and read until 4 am in the morning. I was breathless!!! I laughed, I cried, and u know, I didn't even remember the last time I cried. To say I was touched is a gross understatement. I was so deeply moved by your characters and the love between your characters. I never knew such love existed!!! It is really an uplifting experience, for you have showed me how beautiful and powerful love can be between two men.
Dear Andrej, I cannot say in words how I can thank you enough. You showed me a world I never imagined, and above all, you showed me love. I feel I am a better man now because of that and for that, I will be forever indebted to you.
Best regards,
Matt |

| I just finished reading your story "Presumed enemies." I found it so skillfully written and was totally enthralled. The plot was just wonderful and the sex was so erotic, a hard combination to find in most stories of this kind.
You are a marvelous author and I wanted so to thank you for that wonderful sample of your writings. To me it was the best I read in all those archives...
YOU ARE GREAT and I would love to read more.
Thanks again.

| I couldn't stop reading "We are presumed to be enemies". I thought I was an exceptional story. Both spell binding and very creatively done, from the first to the last.
Bravo!!

| I have just been introduced to your work by "We are presumed to be enemies".
I think it is great! I am moved by the setting, very unusual, the issues of war, love and survival! Very important issues explored by the main character, and his attempt to get his love over to Switzerland, has me hanging and afraid for him. Surely his love for his German solider is over whelming. The issue of struggling for one's gay love among the enemy, here in the straight world, and showing this during war is a very interesting expression of our struggle.
The characters are slowing showing their complexity. Just the setting is very complex, the garden behind the church... How the Partisans were his saviour at one time, and now he is fleeing from them with his German soldier lover. His ability to forgive, to care. To say the least I have had a few tears as the story progresses. I have the feeling that more tears are to come.
There is some of my thoughts, off the top of my head, though I know I am being rather general, but then I don't consider myself a "critique." But as a new found reader of your work I want to try to encourage you with your writings and thank you for sharing them with me. I guess I love your work for I have found myself getting lost in your work, finally being forced to come back to reality when the last chapter has been read. Looking forward to exploring more of your work.
Thanks for sharing your creativity with me!
Love & Kisses,
Dennis D. |

| I just wanted to send a note to let you know how much I enjoy your stories. I have read several that have been translated into English. I envy your ability to write of different cultures and time periods, and while writing in the first person, make them believable.
I think this was true for me, with 'We are presumed to be enemies', more then any other of your stories. As I was reading it, I felt it was written by someone that had lived through the invasion of France. I know how old you are, so I knew that wasn't true.
Thanks,
Joe C. |
