All Comments on 'Arctic Night'

💜💜💜

I was supposed to be going to bed instead of staying up late reading. Another excellent story.

I thoroughly enjoyed Cruising Altitude whenI read it and you know something, Omen? I think this story is even better, a total delight. I could almost feel the bitter cold of the ice, the heat of the sauna, the beauty of the wildlife, the burgeoning relationship between the women, so good were your descriptions. I know that you are (probably) neither British nor American so now I'm guessing at one of the Scandinavian races. Whatever, your writing is of the very highest standard and you deserve every compliment I can offer. When I can make the time, I will definitely get round to reading other stories of yours. Once more, congratulations on a fine piece of work.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I opened this. Well edited. Well told. Definitely the unexpected gem of the day, and easily 5*. Thank you forgot all the care that went into it!

Another gorgeous story.

I particularly want to call out the ending as unexpected and delightful. It’s awesome to see poly/ENM as part of a happy ending, and it felt right for Katja’s character! That she would build her life on her own terms.

Along those same lines, it’s great to kick off Pride month with some awesome bi representation.

Loved this so much!! Your writing is amazing and I loved the little plot twist at the end. Katja and Brid are definitely soulmates and I would love to see more about them if you’re willing to write it!

Exit, Pursued By a Bear

A beautiful story, beautifully written.

... wonderful ... beautiful ... heart touching ... thank you!! (no labels, from my side ;-) )

Have not read all of your “work”, but will correct that omission. Just finished this piece the other day and already intent on rereading: richly developed characters, a beautiful setting that captivates and a storyline that resonates with insight/thought provoking pauses at several levels. You placed your piece in the Lesbian Category — get that, but obviously a romance between two who connected in so many ways. Well, obviously I am caught up. Thanks for sharing; clear why you are followed. 5*

Damn it. I hate crying. The story is perfect.

Like another reader, I really enjoyed this beautiful story, I will be following your work from now on. 🙏🙏🙏

What a delightful story. You are such an amazing writer! I look forward to your next piece. Thank you for sharing with us.

What a delightful story. You are such an amazing writer!

Now *that* is a Love Story! Wow. Can't stop smiling.

Thank you all for your lovely comments! I've been surprised and delighted with how well this has been received.

@yoong, you're in luck! My Nude Day entry, which will come out shortly, will feature a kind of alternate reality take of these two. It is a different story in tone, more short and smutty than long and romantic, but the characters are kinda sorta the same ones :-)

Another lovely story! The word I keep coming back to is FREE. Katje seems so free and well-balanced. ❤️❤️❤️

5 stars,

It was a bit to fast paced for a romantic story. She fell in the hole and then they were naked. It seemed like it shifted from a short story about a hook up to a longer romantic story.

Anyway, I liked it.

I loved it, thank you for sharing it with us!

What an outstanding story. I loved every word. As someone of Norwegian descent, I was incredibly moved by the way you summed up the culture, and translated between Brid and Katja and how they see the world. It’s fascinating to me that generations later in America, that same way of approaching life continues for those of us with Scandinavian roots. My family is also of few words, something I’ve often struggled with in relating to other Americans from different backgrounds. Not to mention, your story made me want to visit Norway to see where my ancestors lived! I can’t wait to read more of your stories!

So beautiful, I loved the exploration of place and culture, as well as the very beautiful love story.

Absolutely fabulous! Going into my favorite stories list. You made me cry, but happy tears. And though you didn’t say so, I’m assuming Katja didn’t shoot the bear since killing Mama would have killed the babies as well. A reckless decision but I totally understand that. Don’t think I could live with months of unending darkness, but I also loved learning more about the land and culture. It’s not one that gets nearly enough attention and that’s a shame. Thank you!

still have to read it. But I am.

According to

nobody locks doors in case somebody needs to seek shelter from polar bears

Thank YOu!

Wonderfull story.

Really enjoyed it :) I'm left feeling heart warmed and at peace.

Ohhhh. Yesssss. Sweet and so full of love

Another beautiful story. Your characterisation is perfect. We end up loving both Brid and Katja, although they are so very different from each other. Five stars.

Fabulous ….. what a fantastic adventure …… a tale in a down to earth place and moving just around two hut’s, ok a polar fox and a polar bear ….. what a wonderful written tale and you transferred amazing daily experiences and safety importance’s for us readers …..

ten stars ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝

Excellent writing, a wonderful story.

Beautifully told, well done.

Surprisingly, after reading this, I just want to hug Katja. A great big, long hug. I don’t know why. I just want to hug her.

And maybe be hugged by her.

Another well written, beautiful story. Loved it!

Actually, physically gut wrenching when Katja left. It was like knowing the train was about to leave the station, and then watching it go and being surprised at the tears.
