I Thought I Knew - Book 1 and Book 2

[JizzedJeansMatt]

Hey HR, Justin, Jess, Billy, and all readers of the story!
I've been a reader of your story for about a year- having found it on nifty and worked backwards from there!
I have to say the story has been a truly brilliant read, from start to finish, and that I also love Jess' new story! You guys' story has been a major part of my life over the past year, bringing a lot into question in my own life, and opening my eyes to other possibilities.
I felt like I should finally show my appreciation by posting on your thread, and thank you for giving a 19 year old guy over here in Ireland a new perspective on life!
Thank you, each of you, for the contribution you've made to the story, and subsequently my life!

Hi, Matt.
Welcome to JUB and the story board.

The boys have certainly shared a lot of their lives with us all, young and old.

I hope you spend some time checking out some of our other fine authors and stories.

Billy and Justin,

Hey I just wanted to see how you guys are you doing? Hoping all is well with you guys. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us all. It has been great reading a little about you guys. Yes Billy even though I was not reading for the actually sex scenes I did have a great time . Well I hope you guys keep us all updated and thank you again.

Jimmy

Just bumping this so other people can enjoy it.

[DonQuixote]

It is well worth the bump, N2Say.

I recently received a message from a JUB member and I am curious whether any of you have a suggestion as to how I should respond. The message said:

I started reading "I Thought I Knew" some months ago, it's really great, one of the best gay stories ever.
Anyway, I don't like reading long stories on my computer, so I made for myself two .epub files (Book 1 & 2) that can be copied to iPad, iPhone or other ebook readers.

If it's OK for you I'd like to share them on the topic, so new readers can enjoy your story in a more comfortable way.
The story is "as you published it", I didn't change a word.

Please tell me if it's OK for you.

Should I say yes? Of course I'd need my copyright recognized. Tell me what you think.

Personally, I'd refrain from allowing it unless you have authentic registered Copyright on the stories. It's your call.

[BoomerGuyx]

The story is so great I'd like to see it made available to as many people as possible. If you don't plan to publish it yourself, i'd say let your reader go ahead.

[DonQuixote]

HR,
Is he planning on posting it as a comment attachment, here?
Maybe check with Corny to see what could be arranged?

I know blogs can be converted to .pdf files for archiving.

[DonQuixote]

Russ,
Welcome to JUB and the story board.

HR and the guys present quite the biography, don't they?

There's LOTS more good in store.
There are some other vignettes that HR was involved in, when you get to the right point.

[hardreader]

Something in the mailbag at last:

Runky628 -- "Im on chapter 15,Hi HR, I love this story so---so---much & thank you Jess,Billy,&Justin,for being so personal for Us." It is so good to have you as a fan. While I see the views continue to climb steadily after all these months, comments from new readers have been few and far between. I'm really glad you broke the dry streak and spoke up. I just have one question about your comment. Was your thanks to the guys "for being so personal" an indirect way of thanking them for getting you off? Or do you just appreciate their openness and honesty? I hope it's both, but I have to wonder which cums first. Thanks again for the comment and let us know what you think as you progress through this project.

[DonQuixote]

HR,
How IS everyone doing? Any updates on our five guys, plus you and Karl?

Have you met our Shep+, yet?

I wish I had read this story earlier (like in 2007) so I could interact with you guys. But still, a hella great stroy!!!

[DonQuixote]

Hi, Andrew, Welcome to JUB & The story board - and HR and the guys major saga.

[hardreader]

I wish I had read this story earlier (like in 2007) so I could interact with you guys. But still, a hella great stroy!!!

It is great to suddenly have comments on this project after such a lull. And to have you pick "I Thought I Knew" to be the first story you post to is a real honor. The guys don't check in much these days as you can see, but I will try to do an update on where they are and what they're doing soon. So where are you in reading the project? And can you tell us a little about what has drawn you to it? Thanks for the kind comments and keep us posted.

[andrewcby]

I'm now on Chapter 27 where B and J just had a wonderful night with Ted. This story is so real (tho i know it's not entirely based on real life story). Well, it's a story of flesh and blood. Just really into it. I really love Billy by the way.

[2M0A1T1T]

Wow this is really a great story just spent the whole week reading it on my phone lol.

[hardreader]

I just noticed that the three books that make up the epic project "I Thought I Knew" now have more than 150,000 views. I know this will make the guys who gave so much of themselves just as happy and as proud as it makes me. We get a lot less mail and comments now than we did when the project was being posted regularly, but the number of views keeps climbing and I do get some very nice PMs and ocassional comments from new fans still.

Anyway, thanks so much to all of you who have taken the time to share in experiencing what my friends went through for good and bad. By the way, all are well and my bf and I will be seeing Billy at his place in the City next week.

Please, if you've read our project and never commented, take this as a personal invitation to you to finally add your name to the list of readers and fans. Thanks, and as always I urge you to stay happy. And stay hard!

[DonQuixote]

Billy at his place in the City?

[ginjoint]

This project needs a new chapter
Thanks for taking the time to update us.

Maybe a one or two chapters of "where are they now?"

[eragon-is-HOT]

After finishing reading the first book. I ca honestly say, it´s not only my favourite gay-themed story, but my favourite story overall. The writing is amazing, hot, funny at some moments and with each chapter, it´s going better and better. I fell in love with all three main characters and I wish there were guys like Bily, Jess & Justin in my life too. The only bad thing is that it has to come to an end. But fornow, I have the second book ahead, so it´s cool for now. But when I´ll finish the story, I bet I will have teary eyes.

Eragon --

Thanks for such wonderful comments on Book 1 of this trilogy. I know you've been reading it by e-book. As far as I know, you're the first person using this link. So I am especially glad that you reacted so well to "I Thought I Knew."

In Book II you'll find things have changed a bit from Book I. Time has passed and life is different for my friends. But I think you will find it equally engaging and that it will provide a lot of insight into both Justin and Billy. Of course they haven't stopped having and thoroughly enjoying sex, so I suspect you should plan on continuing to read it in private and be ready to cum a lot more before you finish. I'd love for you to keep me updated as your reading progresses and please post here again whenever you want. I always try to answer all messages and mail promptly.

And if there are other readers out there enjoying this project who have not commented yet (and I know there are), please follow Eragon's lead and say a few words here.

Thanks to all our fans. This continues to be one of the best experiences of my life bringing these guys story to you.

[DonQuixote]

HR,
Any updates for we, seasoned, followers of the boys?

[justanothershyguy]

This. Story. Is. INCREDIBLE. I wish I could have "enjoyed" it more the first time I read through it, but I was too emotionally involved to be able to do that! Justin, Billy, and Jess, I wrote you all notes commending you for what you've shared with all of us.

And HR. Thank you for sharing it with me. I had no clue how much it would mean to me in the end, but it really has.

And to all four of you: I will cum again. I promise! My sole regret was not being able to be here and comment as it was being written. But I'm happy that I could read it all at one time! Congratulations to all of you, this is an amazing story. The realism pushes it over a boundary I've never encountered before! Thank you!

[DonQuixote]

Justanothershyguy,

The guys caught all of us - we all care a great deal about them, even though it's been quite awhile since we've heard what's going on in their lives.

Yes, there were incredibly hot, erotic times, but there was so much more than that.

Welcome to JUB and the story forum, by the way.

Did HR point you to some posts by Tantiboh that are in the same timeframe?
Or a little twisted tale Tantiboh and HR shared with us all?

More good things to look for.

[BillyCanCum]

I was on here to read some of justanother shy guys love/fuck story. It is really hot. Then I saw all the posts and stuff for my story and how many guys have read this and I wanted to thank all you guys and let you know J and I are still sucking and fucking and jizzing. we're in NYC now. Im glad to see you're still jacking and jizzing to our adventures. The more jizz the better i say. I don't think well do anymore of this but Maybe hr has found a new guy to write about here. ha Thanks guys.

[DonQuixote]

Billy,
It's great to hear from you guys. We do wonder how you guys are all doing - and more than just the hot sex scenes, although those were great, too, lol.

[hardreader]

I noticed this morning that I Thought I Knew Books I and II have passed 136,000 views and Book III Jess' Story has almost 30,000 more views. I see that view number going up every day, but have to wonder who is it who is out there reading and not posting. If you're reading this project for the first time or just looking back in on it, please think about posting a comment or perhaps a PM. Thanks for reading. You have been awesome fans.
