~~Brotherly Love~~
Quick find code: 49-50-971-61533231
Hello, everyone. My name is Englishkid62, or commonly known as English, and it is my sincere pleasure to welcome you all to my new story, Brotherly Love. Rather than posting sequels and prequels to my other story, The Priceless, for the past few months I had been working on this new project that would reflect my current writing ability a lot more closely, as opposed to if I were to rewrite, say, The Abomination of men.
Don’t we ever get bored with that stuff?
For those of you who have never met me, never fear, for I do not bite and if you post here, I will guarantee a reply. Now though, due to other commitments I would not be able to log into RS, the game, as frequently as I did. You can always add me, as my private chat is always on, but do remember that I would be a rare sight in game.
For those of you who have been waiting a long time for this, I recommend you to head to the introduction to the story below, as it may interest you how this story came to be.
The amount of support I have had since my return has been amazing, and I must thank everyone for their encouragement. I had a hard time writing this story and this is perhaps the most ambitious literary project I have ever attempted to date. I hope you have a good time reading, and I hope you’ll like it. I eagerly await any comments you may have.
Finally, some rules. Behave yourself, and by posting, you are allowing your comments to be used in the Quotes section of this thread.

~Praises for Brotherly Love continued~
‘Ah, very beautifully written. Can't say I agree with everything in it, but it really is a wonderful work of literature; which is even more impressive considering English isn't your first language... Incidentally, while I didn't cry at the end, my eyes did water... well done, it's a rare day when something can get that much of a reaction out of me.’ --Nihtgaldere
‘Looking at your story literary wise, you're a freaking genius. I mean wow. At the beginning there was just enough emotion in the story to keep me reading; but at the end there was too much emotion, I could barely keep on reading. The characters are extremely well developed too. You can really feel their emotions, feel their presence…Overall, excellent job!’ --Ruben
‘I thought that this was by far one of your best work, and like Ruben, I thought way before I read it that it couldn't match what you had done with The Priceless, The Noob, or The Abomination of Men. I made this assumption not based on me questioning your talent coming back to the Story Forum, rather, the 3 were such great stories that I didn't believe that what you wrote now would be anything close to that. I was of course, proven wrong…Fantastic job.’ –Cicobe1
‘English that story was told amazingly. I don't know if I would have enjoyed it as much if it had been written in a different way. I don't know how to describe the story. It was so very well written. Amazing.’ –Zatevon
‘This was really a great story. I loved your descriptions and your characters were truly amazing. The small, philosophical paragraphs actually taught me something.’ --Zam0rakElite
‘Detailed, brilliant, awesome and epic! Great storylines!’ --Mcafee
'Runescape literature at its finest.' --Bawabowa
'...Speechless. Just...wow. Great.' --JaffaCook
‘It was spectacular.’ --Areno3
‘Awesome story.’ --Scribegoblin
[Because when I am old, sad, and alone, I need to read this

But at last, I have finished this story, 18k words of it, which is just a little more than The Abomination of men. By that time I was insecure and I wasn’t sure if the story would pull off. My sister gave it a read and gave it the go. She liked it better than The Priceless, which gave me a little comfort, and so I decided that maybe, if I posted this, my readers would like it too.
I wasn’t sure how readers would react. This story is unique in its own way. My readers should still expect from it what they would expect from my other major works, though. This story does not seek to make The Priceless obsolete or, for that matter, blow it out of proportion. Yes, this is a bit longer, but I want to show that I, as a writer, have grown and matured, something my sister also agreed when I asked her to compare Brotherly Love with The Abomination of men.
Lastly, how did I come up with the advert? It was hard to do, but I did remember the quote, ‘I believe it is a choice’, was from a friend of mine, Caydock, when I asked him a question concerning gender preference. His quote fits here perfectly, and hopefully, after the story he would be proven wrong, or at least, have his views utterly undermined.
Yet with all the expectations, I wasn’t sure if it would turn out to be the story everyone wanted it to be. This is why Brotherly Love would be the last of my major writing projects for a long time to come. This could turn out to be a complete flop, but I am almost beyond the point of caring. I know in my heart that I have written a story to the best of my ability. And, just like The Priceless, this story at its core stayed true to me. I am happy that I have written it and it will always have a special place in my heart.
So, just how bad is this story? You’ll see.
