I’m glad I decided to post “Conversations With My Brother” on Nifty. I received many encouraging comments from readers when I started posting the story on Screeve, but I never expected the reaction from many readers from Nifty. It is a long story, and I thought most people would not be bothered by such a long read. But I was wrong! And I’m glad I was wrong.
I have received many emails from new readers who loved the story and the special relationship between the brothers. Max & Finn have a place in my heart. I enjoyed writing about them, but I knew it had to end. I didn’t want it to be a never-ending “Soap Opera” that eventually fizzled out.
I’m proud to have written the story of Max and Finn (aka Min). I’m sure it could do with some more editing and perhaps the writing tightening up in places, but, on the whole, I’m happy with it. Many of you have mentioned the emotional connection between the brothers and how real it felt as you read the story. That means more to me than you could know. For people to tell me how their relationship affected them brings me back to how I felt as I wrote about the intimate moments between the brothers.
One day, I may return to their life. But until then…
Max & Min Forever!
Glad you’ve had affirmation for the glorious saga of Max & Min, David. I’m enjoying your new story too and look regularly for updates. Did you imply at some point that you had some material for the ongoing adventures of Neil (from the Cockaigne section of Conversations with my Brother)? No worries if not, just thought I’d ask in case I need to be looking elsewhere. love Paul x
