So what I gathered from your story is Jim and Marc are fucking and getting married?
Gay stuff goes in the gay category
Linda - "I had to have this man—a one-time thing. I knew Jim loved me, and I loved him too. It would be just one night that I would remember in my old age..." - This hypocritical lie seems to permeate the female character of so many stories. They vehemently proclaim their love for their husbands, stating over and over that they love only them. BUT! Then they sneak in the tell all truth. It would be just the one night, the one NOT spent with their husband, rather the night they spent in the arms of another man. That would be the night of all their life they choose to remember in their old age. Not the night of their honeymoon, not the night of their 25th or perhaps even 50th anniversary. No, the night they all mention wanting to remember as the special night of all their lives as they fade into the grayness of old age...is the night they choose to become whores.
Wherever you post this shit ENOUGH!!!!!!! this site is polluted enough with this non story. 1*
Several comments: Nice to hear it from her point of view. In your version Mark is still an asshole, but Linda started this. What makes little sense is both of the attitudes and the story line with the statement "He is a kind man but tough as nails." That statement implies there is going to be tough times ahead. What is Jim either had special skills of knew people with special skills? On the nice side Mark could face identity theft, and possible loss of a lot of money. On the harder side, Mark could be injured so he couldn't play football, or end up crippled, maimed or dead. If Jim snapped and thought he had nothing to live for (in this case he had his kids) Mark could be living on borrowed time.
You made some serious changes to the story with Linda basically initiating the event, and then her getting stood up. That changes the whole flavor of the story. You also gloss over new major elements - Jim finding a new love within 6 - 12 months? Very little mention of the parents, no mention of the kids, or their "friends" from that night.
What makes no sense is that in the 6 - 12 months Jim completely moved on and has a new love. I can see him getting there, but considering his relationship with Linda, I'd expect him to be devastated for several months and need therapy. In addition with her essentially making out in the divorce why would he be nice to her!?! He won't see his kids much, and probably should ask (insist) on picking up the kids at one of the grandparent's houses or a neutral site, and have as little as possible to deal with Linda as possible. i.e. The ONLY topic he will talk to her about is an issue with the kids, nothing about anything else - family members, work, friends - especially the friends from that night", not even the weather.
Bottom line - I like taking her point of view, and her initiating it. I think the story really needed to be expanded and fleshed out. The original story was very detailed and made you part of it. This was way too short, and didn't treat the characters fairly. I wonder how Linda's relationship with her parent's siblings, and other family members is going to be in the future - especially at holiday gatherings - "Linda, so this is your date? Does he know that your marriage blew-up because you planned to cheat instead of celebrating your 10th anniversary?" or short and right to the point "Does he know your divorced because your a cheating slut?" Based on the original story, I really think she and Mark deserve to be run over by freight train of Karma.
Not funny. Now all of the main characters are vile, disgusting, trash! Making Jim bisexual means that he has been lying to Linda for their entire marriage, making him no better than her.
ZK
Not one word about authors’ grammar. No, the one word I have in mind is “YUCK”!
Very funny. Not sure that "Jim" would appreciate having his sexuality being changed as at no time in the original was that hinted at. Still very original so well done.
I give you HUGE credit for a\originality. That twist was one I did not see coming, at all. Well done. It works, in a way because, in part, this is a flash story.
That being said, and meant, If it were a longer version, I would, most likely, not read it all the way through. Why? For one reason, I am not into gay stories. Nothing wrong with them, they are just not for me. Another reason, I do not like it when established characters are taken and fundamentally changed. If a writer wants to do a gay or lesbian version of Fb Sx, then use new characters with their own, unique background/story lines. At least, that is my thinking. Does this mean I will insist that you or anyone else should never write a longer version/type of this story? Nope, I would not insist on that type of censorship. I just would not read it or complete it when I found out what it entailed.
Still, my thoughts and feelings on this topic, does not take away from the originality and imagination that took for you to come up with this different version.
Thank you.
Pasqual
I thought this would be another cookie cutter February Sucks story. Almost skipped it. Decided not to and am glad I didn’t. I love the twist at the end that Jim went gay for Marc and it’s all Linda’s fault. So funny
Fuckin' hilarious...thank you. That's an original take if ever there was one...good job.
Enjoyed that, complete 180 view !
First time I've read this role reversal.
Well done - 5 stars
Hah, get out!!!!
What a hoot. A totally different twist on a worn story.
I liked it.
Scores 5/5 for having the balls to write it.
Heh, Heh, Heh! Now, good people, let this be the last one! I've had all the Jim, Linda, and Marc that I can stand for one lifetime. Go pick on some other story. How about the one where the guy comes home a day early from a business trip and finds a strange car in his driveway . . . . .
That is fucking hilarious! All the closet cases and their haterade. Hahahahaha!
I had committed myself not to read more submissions dealing with FS from GA, but as I like the writing of Omegaman56, I took a chance... Before I had read the comments first, one, since there are no Tags...
I was stunned and even disappointed by this alternative, even though it was in flash.
I've never seen Jim, with the homosexual tendency, and Marc using the mechanics of "seducing" Linda, to steal her husband, didn't seem to be something that commonly happens.
But that's it... another version of FS, which doesn't quite hit the mark.
As one commentator said: "Let FS rest in peace...".
But that's just my opinion.
Your lengthy excuses in preamble should have warned me of the shitshow to follow. Sorry I was too obtuse.
This was the stupidest of all the follow-ups. Never did GA in the original hint at neither Jim’s or Marc’s character being gay. I guess instead the martian slut ray it must have been the martian gay ray that hit both. Beam me up Scotty!
"At least he's my husband until the judge delivers the final verdict in about 1 minute." - There is no "verdict" in a divorce. No judge can stop a divorce. Oh, he can make things difficult, but if you no longer want to be married, you can't be forced to stay married, no mre than you can be forced to GET married.
6 figure income? An All-Pro tight end would be making 7, even 8 figutrs.
\
"It would be just one night that I would remember in my old age." - This "one night to remember" is so sick. What person wants to know that their partner's greatest sexual experience was with someone else? It would be bad enough if it was before they were together; it wold be worse if it was from cheating; but to have your face rubbed in it?
\
A 3-way that SHE sets up and goes along with isn't the same thing as walking away from your husband in a public place, in front of friends to spend the night fucking another man.
\
"we have two precocious children to raise," - I'm quite sure that their children are precocious, but the word usually used in this context is "precious."
\
Gained a star with the twist.
\
No indication of why Marc stood her up? He surely wasn't attracted to Jim right then and there? TWO main male characters were closeted gay or bisexual?
I wondered why Omegaman56 who I consider one of my fave writers has such a low score rating (currently 2.56). After reading it now I know. Yuck.
Really well done. Totally original ending that left a smile on my face. I too believe live and let live. Your obviously not an American Republican hahaha. See ya next time 5&FAV
Crappy, irredeemable original
Pointless sequels
And you feel an irresistible need to RE-POST one?
Everything about ‘February Sucks’ sucks
I have to say, I didn't see that coming, and I'm still chuckling. I have to give it 5 stars for the originality and the humor!
It's rather rushed, but by the end I was glad I didn't waste more time on it. Also, learn to use tags.
WTF- another rendition of a shit story. Give this one a fucking rest. Please. The original was shit and all the sequences that followed. 1*
Very good writing, never saw this one coming until the last sentence. Now that is skill. Even though I'm ultra straight, I found the twist most humerus and the total stab to Linda's heart & ego.
\
5*****, Hooyah, Salutes for originality and a reader - GOTCHA!
Same old shit but with a different cover!!!!!!! This story is so far from a Loving Wives category as one could get!!!! There was no Loving Wife! There was no "sharing"! There was no "swinging"! There was no "married extramarital fun"! Si why would you post this the the Loving Wives category! This version is still about a non-loving, deceitful, conniving bitch, that forsook her loving husband, marriage, and family, just for some strange dick! This was not a Loving Wives story but hit the Non-Erotic square in the ass!
The worst story of all time, somehow managed to spawn 'sequels' that are even worse. Truly a conundrum to solve for the ages.
Lmao very clever twist I had to laugh even though I was completely blindsided ! I think it’s worth every bit of 5 stars because of its originality and the knock out punch you delivered in the end .
A thousand 5s for your original parsing of this LW meme-de-meme! Cannot say enough good about this short, brisk, well-written and most of all, imaginative, redux on 'February Sucks'!! 5+++++++/5.
Yes, I am still laughing again. I love it the first time it was posted. I thought you posted it correctly the first time. You have a wicked mind for writing. Keep’em coming.
BTW my wife loved it as well. She likes reading your stories as well.
Keep Writing

goinig DOWNHILL with this original title. If you can't follow the basis for the original TITLE IT SOMETHING ELSE. Is dimentia setting in on you?
A change of pace, but she went from dreaming about threesome to rude awakening that her man was a cock sucker, we acknowledged that football some players liked to play on the same team so they are cock suckers too.
That’s quite the twist you thought of. +1 for originality, but it didn’t complement the original story in terms of the emotional content. It feels like the hard work was already done and this packaged it up and put a bow on it.
I was about to bomb this and then I read the ending and I spewed coffee on my monitor. I wrote a satire of February sucks they wouldn't publish on here, glad to see at least one humorous take...course you could have the sequel in gay sex on here, rugged man and pretty boy *lol*

I'm sure Jim and Marc got hit by the Martian Slut Gay Rays. It's a new, contemporary variation of the old Martian Slut Rays, sold in stores in San Francisco and Key West. In sure in his traveling all over the country, Marc got himself of those guns. I guess poor Jim had no defense against it. Thanks for the story.
Yup Danged if them city folks with them fancy duds & cars ain't jus funny as hell, man loses wife to fancy dancer then fore its all sed & done she goes and loses fancy dancer to the hubby. They must be some queer ducks up there in the city. Had a rooster like that onst, seems he made a fine Sunday dinner. LP
What’s next, alien abduction? The ORIGINAL story didn’t make a lot of sense, and this sure doesn’t improve it. While Mr. Anderson’s tale certainly did drive a whole bunch of mediocre, sycophantic scribblers berserk enough to churn out a panoply of hate-filled screeds, it had plot holes and character inconsistencies galore.
I really wonder why people just can’t let this go.
I'll write a comment when I'm done barfing all over the floor. (Kudos for an original story line.)
That was short and a great twist. Certainly a better story than the original/
Oh, yes that was one hell of a twist at the end. Glad to take the time for a totally different look at this fantasy but I don't recall Jim wanting a threesome.
Cute and funny story. What a punch line and twist. Sure led the train down a different set of tracks. Thanks for your writing.
I barely gave this 3 stars. Only did it for the original taking Linda's version of what's went on. However, it lacked any real depth, no real dialogue. Even though this story's known, putting in the afore mentioned would help the story. As such, I found it lacking. Bob
You put a smile on my unassuming face tonight. Kudos on the originality of your ending.
The author of the original abomination could learn a valuable lesson by reading this. 5 stars, compared to minus 10 for GA's version.
A new and humorous twist. But I have to agree with Ruttweiler, the whole concept of FS was totally ridiculous and only made worse by all the pitiful sequels. Please let this be an end to something that should never have seen the light of day in the first place.
this was far and away the worst version. you had something with Linda initiating it and then crash and burn
Well, it appears that the Martian Slut Ray did really work, as Linda wanted to get fucked by Marc. A different take on it, but I did like the ending.
