Chapter 9 of A HAUNTING is up
Aug 9 2008, 12:21 AM EDT
contained in this episode/chapter is a graphic explanation of actual historical tortures carried out against those accused of homosexual acts. While horribly inhumane, the account is historically accurate. The scenario expained can be disturbing. Read with CAUTION!

And to think I am afraid to simply tell a few people about myself and worry about what they may think. My heart goes out to all who gave their lives in the past to secure our love in this future. Hopefully the tide will continue to roll and bring acceptance to all the souls who face hate.
Awesome chapter dear Robert.
Keep on writing!

Even though, I think it should still be read, for the same reason people should still learn about atrocities of the Holocaust, I have highlighted the particularly disturbing paragraphs in red, so the weak of stomach can pass over them, until they're old and mature enough to handle it.

TY TY!!! Someone who gets why I wrote this chapter with that scene included, part of me understands why I went back and edited it in red, but another part of me hates it.

Don't edit it, then. But don't take it personally, this is fanfiction from characters from a soap opera, hun, we just write and read for fun....... maybe we should take it more seriously (I don't even know if that's a word) but some people come to the wiki looking for fluffy and silly stories. The good thing is that there's plenty of everything to choose from!!!!

lol, I'm not really taking it "personally", well... maybe I am, and yes, this is fun, and writing it has been fun, as well as receiving positive feedback from those reading it. I only said half of me hated it, the other half understands it. It's sort of why a film shown at the theater has some scenes edited, or deleted, or that infamous fuzzy censor dot put in when the film is televised. You want people to read, or view what you've created, and even though it's hard to change it, even so slightly, your hope is, that by changing it slightly, or altering it perhaps a little bit of the message is better than no message at all.

Ok i've just read through all the chapter updates - great updates!!!! Loving the story!!!

This chapter while graphic was good as i did learn quite a bit, i've never heard of these acts occuring to homosexuals so it was interesting to see how society has somewhat changed in a way although not a whole lot as things like this are still happening. In australia there is increasing violence against the gay and lesbian community which isn't made public and Tasmania (a state of australia) is one of the most backward states (sorry to those who are Tasmanian but its true - thats why you have two heads).

anyways thanks Rob for the history lessons its great to while enjoy the story learn something as well.

yes, I'm aware that homophobic violence still occurs, Van is an avid supporter of "The Laramie Project" try that for a tragedy, and... I returned from overseas to learn that a friend of mine from my Freshman Univ. year had been beaten, shot, beheaded and burned, by a homophobic idiot who had picked him up in a gay bar so he could kill him for being gay. My chapter 9 was specifically detailing governmental and military sanctioned or otherwise "approved of" punishment.

Damn! I have no words for what happened tp your friend!

Who the hell goes out to a gay bar in order to kill an innocent person?

Someone who should have been locked up a long time ago!

What gets my gears grinding is when non-religious people have a go at my religion saying that everyone who in believes in god and is a catholic is an evil person because we don't agree with same sex relationships because the pope sees it as wrong therefore we all believe it etc etc - which is a load of crap!

and at least the person who did it, is in jail for a long long long time like as in... forever.

true true, and ... it's OUR religion,

thanks for reading, I've just about got chapter 10 and 11 in my head, if I can't go to sleep later on, i'll start typing.

I am still reeling from this chapter. I've unfortunately read/heard stories similar to this in relation to the treatment of those accused with homosexual acts. It just breaks my heart. I cannot even begin to imagine how hard that must have been, and it really serves to put your own life into perspective. And to think that in some places it still continues, is horrid.

I might have to go write/read something fluffy now, just to balance out the deep sad significance of this chapter. Fantastic work as usual Rob, really.

thank you for your kind words, this chapter ... even more so than the resolution will most definitely be my favorite, if only because it is the main point, to a story like this, i believe only about 4 more chapters to go, maybe 5... heheh, if my brain can work out how exactly Luke and Noah can help Gaston and Bertram... I'm almost there though. :) will probably start typing sometime this evening, and once I'm done completely, I'll be MORE THAN HAPPY to read something nice and fluffy!

I'm sure you'll come up with something great. I'm just hoping nothing happens to them in the meantime... And that Gaston and Bertram will find a way to be together in the afterlife.

I'll have to write another Snapshot piece for you to read when you're finished, as a thankyou for sharing this story :-D

OK Now that I have stoped gagging ; < when is the next chapter is going to be posted? I really like this story. I like storys with people being haunted by ghost and things, but for me it has to really have a good or even a great plot to, because if it dosen't then it would just be a mess. Luky for all of us this one has a great plot to it. =)

Thank you! I'm pleased you enjoyed it, even if it was somewhat unsettling. I've had a little personal issue I've been dealing with, but I am certain I will have chapter 10 up by Sunday, and the entire story wrapped up with a THE END. before I return to work on Tuesday. :0 and... sorry for the delay!
