I can't access it because I don't have an account.

You don't need an account to read stories at MMSA. There is a new CAPTCHA you have to pass through but anyone can read stories.

The CAPTCHA verification is available to all readers.

I do believe that Jack believes this is his best work.  I totally understand why he would believe that.  Jack put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this story.  At times it was an emotional drain on him which I do think at times made him physically sick.  Especially the Summer Chapter or as I call it the Heartbreak Summer chapter.  It emotionally drained me just reading it, so it had to have sucked everything out of Jack writing it.

Jack:  Feel free to put one of those spoiler things on that paragraph if you want.

Now as good as that story is, I still count it as number two.  Number one is and forever shall be, Family Business.

Just finished the last story, and I'm still crying which is something that hasn't happened to me from reading anything since I was 16.  If you haven't read these stories, they are a must read.  Bravo, Jack.  I don't have enough superlatives for how really excellent this entire series is.

Mr. Afinch.  The Summer Chapter had me crying also.  Every time I read it over again, I cry.  I guess you can call it being invested in a story and its characters.  I knew all through the story this was going to happen.  Heck anyone reading the story knows it has to happen sometime and in this chapter it does, but even knowing, I cried.

I told Jack after reading that chapter the story was over for me.  It was complete, done, finished.  I had my emotional breakdown, so it accomplished its goal.  Jack of course wrote one more chapter "Another Home" to close the story as it should be closed filling in all the gaps.

But the chapter "Summer" will always be the highlight of that story for me.

Thank you, Kier.

The funny thing is, this ending was a last minute decision.  I actually had something similar, but vastly different in mind up until chapter 9 or 10. No, it was because of 10, and I decided as I wrote 11.

I loved it.  You don't write "spanking stories"--you write beautifully written character studies that happen to have spankings in them.  I can't wait for the next chapter.

Mr. Afinch you don't know just how true your statement is.  After Jack writes his chapters, he then thinks of where a spanking would fit in.   So, it is a story of the life of Caleb first, with spankings added to round it out.

Sometimes a spanking is an integral part of the story, like it was in part one of this series or Callum.  Other times, as you'll see in Ch 03 of this series, it does kind of half to be worked in.  Still, I do think the important part is the characters.  I want people to believe in them and to care about what happens to them.

I have been working on this series for months, and the first chapter finally appeared yesterday.

https://malespank.net/viewStory.php?id=58707

If the series title sounds a bit familiar, it's because this story features Caleb Stiles, a character who first appeared in Skip Trace's incredible Mr. Anderson Looks Back series - https://malespank.net/listSeries.php?show=47365.

The first five stories of that series (Caleb 1 - 5) were written as a backstory for a character Skip really liked in another author's series.  When he decided to post it on MMSA, he changed the name and altered some details.  I have been able to read some of the stories with the character upon whom Caleb was based.

The thing is, the ending to the Mr. Anderson/Caleb stories tore my heart apart.  It was a great ending, and it's what the story demanded, not to mention that, with the original character, it's the way the story had to end.  I fell in love with both Caleb as a kid I wanted to know, and with Mr. Anderson as the teacher I'd needed in my life.  I also became friends with Skip, and, as I got to know him, I wrote some fanfic about both of those characters.

Skip and I were talking about a new story with some characters from his series, when he had the epiphany that Caleb DID NOT have the same history as the character upon whom he was based, so there was no reason for him to wind up in the same place.  As a matter of fact, because of changes Skip had made when he changed details for the story, where they original characters ended didn't really make sense for Caleb anymore.  When he realized that, he said to me, ", you, (Jack Wells), are free and have my permission to pick up where the “Caleb” series leaves off. Riley ended up at the (location). Caleb could end up anywhere ..."

That was a great deal of trust, and I was kind of scared.  I talked about it a lot with Skip, and with Adric, Zyngaru, and Zac especially.  There were a number of false starts, but I think I finally came up with the story I wanted to tell and a great way to tell it.  I made sure it was loyal to Skip's original story, while also keeping in mind that his story was only what Mr. Anderson saw.

I don't have much else to say except that I think this story might be my magnum opus.  As much as I loved All-American Boy and Central Point High School, this one develops a character I loved and involves spanking.  It's also about 114,000 words, so definitely novel length.

Hope you all give it a try and please, let me know what you think.
