1 I have been reading and enjoying your massive library of stories probably starting about the time the pandemic hit home and began to affect me.

As i have commented before, your stories draw me in as a good read about interesting people. That sex evolves is a terrific bonus... as opposed to tales of an immediate romp in bed that quickly climaxes with "Well, that was a good fuck."

I am an avid reader of many sources and am pleased we have found each other! i just finished DEAR EUGENIO". Well done,sir. Maybe the BEST yet!

1 Hi Andrej,

I just finished the "Eight Books of the Golden Collar" and previous to that "Dear Eugenio". I love these tales. I love the common theme of loyalty, trust, devotion and love. So refreshing and passionate.
Thank you again for writing them.

Truely,
Andrew

1 Hello Andrej,

My name is John and I am English, I am really sorry not to have contacted you before, to thank you for your wonderful stories, which you write with such passion and compassion. I always read them with tears streaming down my face, you are such an emotional writer. I confess that so far I have read only a few, but will continue steadily so as not to become too dehydrated through loss of tears! Seriously though, I absolutely love the gentle way you deal with sex in your stories, making them an accompaniment to, rather than the primary focus of the narrative.
"Dear Eugenio was so emotional and touching, as was also "life begins at twenty five". As an old man, I love films and stories with a happy ending and I have spent most of my life trying to help others, sometimes I might add, with disastrous results. I am certainly no saint, and have to admit that sometimes my helping was prompted by ulterior motives, but then we all strive to find love in our own ways, I suppose.

Having just completed reading "We are presumed to be enemies", you have once again reduced me to tears of joy and happiness. Once again, I apologise for not writing sooner, but I have suffered all my life from a reluctance to put pen to paper, or in latter years, finger to keyboard. I am totally amazed at your amount of writings, and trust that you will continue for a long time to come. I assume that you are French, and are a citizen of France, a country which I dearly love, and where I have spent so many happy holidays and sometimes longer visits.

So please Andrej, stay safe and well in these troubled times, and I thank you once again for all the joy you have brought me, and I’m sure, many others,

John

1 Hello Andrej -

I encountered your recent reposting of Dear Eugenio in Nifty and I thoroughly enjoyed the story. Perhaps because it was translated, I hardly found any spelling (or other) errors. I was also impressed with the choice of words. Most importantly, story itself was very intriguing. I had no idea who Eugenio was until later in the story and it kept me in suspense. It was also nice to be able to read from the beginning to the end without waiting for the next chapters. Waiting forever for the next chapters is one of the drawbacks of Nifty stories.

I looked for other stories written by you in Nifty. I was pleasantly surprised that some of the stories take place in Japan. Having lived the first 18 years of my life in Japan, I was very attached to the characters and understood their thought processes and their sentiments. How did you learn so much about Japanese cultures and the way they (we) think and feel? I do realize your knowledge level of Japanese culture is quite deep.

I will look forward to reading all your stories in Nifty.

Thank you

Masafusa

1 Greetings Andrej!

Hope that you are well!
In a few hours, I just completed all the first 8 Chapters of your Brilliant Story, "Dear Eugenio".
It is completely addictive and has ended on a cliffhanger.
I really look forward to many more incredible chapters of this beautiful tale.
Take Care and God Bless!

Kind regards,
Calvin from South Africa

1 Hi,
It would be a gross understatement and extreme shortening of my words to simply say that I love your stories. They inspire me, give me hope and comfort. Sitting down or lying down and reading them, once I was acquainted with your writing, has quickly become my most favourite pastime, at cost of others but I don't mind that ; )

In the country I live in, it is not illegal anymore officially to be gay, but still one can be spat on and stoned to death for being so. Reading these delightful stories gives me hope that assuredly there is Paradise somewhere on Earth and it gives me hope that someday I might reach it. It gives me light in the darkness of toxic masculinity and stifling conservatism of my so called religion and my family.

It gives me a way of escape in my imagination and with those fascinating characters that you have so lovingly created. In fact, it would also be an understatement to say that your stories helped me come to terms with and accept my sexuality in a way as gay and proud. Sometimes I'm afraid and then I read about Lorenzo and Poletto (The Venitian Marchant), or Eugenio (of Dear Eugenio}. and I have hope to come out of the dear with renewed strength and force of will.

So I can do little to pay my enormous debt to you by thanking you most profusely for writing your stories and helping me enjoy a few moments of my life.
Regards,
D.

1 I just finished reading your story {Dear Eugenio}. This is the first story I've read I could identify with. Me and my better half have been together for 20 years almost, and are still very much in love, more so now. I look forward to reading more of your stories {now that I have found your web site}, I just found your site so I haven't toured it yet, but, I look forward to doing that.

Again thank you.

1 Dear Andrej

Sometimes reading your stories are like visiting other countries and cultures, or like stepping back in time. One story that I particularly enjoyed was "Priest Forever". I grew up Catholic and so relate very much to what the characters in that story experienced. I think it's one of the things I like about your stories - the variety: of characters, cultures, countries, venues, interests, beliefs.

I am going to print out "Dear Eugenio" now, so that I can start reading it tonight. I have not yet read "Soul in the Cellular" and maybe one or two others of your English translations, but I have read every other one.

Scott

1 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.

Gary

1 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.

1 I have read a few "chapters" of your letter to Eugenio that I found a while back on the Net. I have never been so moved with feelings of anger, affection, sadness, pride and others by gay literature. I am thankful for your putting so much understanding and sensitivity into what I have read in your "Dear Eugenio" stories. I was expecting more of the (tired) same old sex stories. What a pleasant surprise to come across something so humanly moving and soul-stiring.

It brought to mind my own experience of loving a man who was a very close friend... almost the younger brother I never had, and I the older brother he wished he'd had. I knew him and shared a deep affection with him for half his life (22 years) before his death from AIDS complications. He is still very much a part of my life and love. Thanks Andrej! Warm wishes to you for a blessed Easter. And for God's sake, keep writing!!

1 Andrej............

I went into your library and chose the "Letter to Eugenio" to read. That was hours ago! My bum is sore from sitting here, but I couldn't stop until I was finished! What a wonderful story you've written, and so rich with love! It was just beautiful and made me cry. Your characters were so loveable and the story rich with twists and turns. You are a fine writer and I so enjoyed reading your work. I'll visit again when I can afford to spend time reading.

Take care.....
Love,
Roz

1 I have just completed reading Dear Eugenio and wanted to tell you that I don't think that I have ever read a story as significant as this one.
The way you portrayed the events is breathtaking.
Keep up the good work

1 Dear Andrej,

Your stories have opened my eyes to love, have enlightened me, and made me understand so many things I did not understand before. I am forever changed because of you and your work, as I said before, I am a better man now, because of you. My dear Andrej, how can I ever thank you enough?

I finished another of your stories this week: "Dear Eugenio". Once again, I was so moved beyond words. The love is so beautiful and so powerful, it makes my blood boil, you know? Dear Andrej, you are my teacher, I have so much admiration and respect for you, and I hope one day I can be your friend too.

Yours Truly,
Matt

1 Dearest Andrej-

Pardon the informality of this but I feel as though I know you from touching the very depths of your soul through your writings.

I write a little, but nothing that compares to what you have written. You have the ability to catch the feel of what love really should be between two men without having to make it cheap with four letter words.

Akim, Akim... is very good but I think to date Dear Eugenio or the Black Clover are my favorites, but perhaps that is the ever romantic in me.

How much research have you put into these stories? They flow so naturally.

Do you have a lover? For I am sure there are many men around the world that love you at least through your literature. At what age did you first come out? I can't help feeling that you have been very lucky in love as there is so much love that pours out through your work.

Well as it is 1:22 in the morning here I really should go to bed.

You really are a very special person.

Warmest regards

Dave

1 Hello:

I just read some of your "Dear Eugenio" stories, and I just loved them, the only thing is that I just could get some of them (Chapters 1,3,5,7, 9 and 10), and I would love to read them all, could you please send me all the missing chapters or tell me the URL address where I can get them?

Thank you

Dave

1 Hello! Bonjour, etc!

May I start by saying how truly moved I was by your story "Dear Eugenio". I found it both moving and compelling in ways that I very rarely feel when reading an erotic (per se) story. Perhaps, the most wonderful thing about the story is not only the wonderful writing, but the deep and meaningful plot. The character development was superb, and leaves me somewhat longing to know each and every one of them.

I, too, have found a partner for myself in the world, and I'm quite happy. We don't have the passion of a Max and Edo, but all of us have our own ways, I suppose.

Being born and raised in the United States, especially the area I was raised in, I often long to know the ways of an older culture, a more romantic culture than that which I know. Through your story, I have touched those dreams, and again feel a romance born in myself. I will be returning to Europe in a few months for my second holiday in as many years, with a born-again romance and respect for that which has enlightened me.

Again, thank you for your wonderful story, and inspiration.

Regards,

Mat

1 Hi Andrej,

You really are a bugger of a bloke. You have ruined three nights beauty sleep this week.

It started with me finding Dear Eugenio on the Nifty files the first few chapters, then the next night I found the chapters up to 9. Then I fumed as the story stopped at a crucial point and it wasn't until the next night I remembered your home page, luckily the whole story was there. I also found two more stories, Star's Shadow, Counting to Ten. So for three nights in a row I wasn't able to get to bed before 1.30am. Until I had finished them.

One wee query - Is Counting to Ten finished? It seemed to finish up in the air??

PS. Are you an author in your own right? By that I mean do you also write novels etc? I find I really get into you books, I think I have only found two other authors whose books I can't put down until I've finished them, who publish on the net.

Regards
Murray
