Do not use any of this story, whole or in part, without permission
Welcome to the twenty-fourth fantasy story based on my affinity for actor Colin Firth.  Please be aware that the story, while dallying in romantic encounters is not sexually explicit.  However some parts do leave one's imagination open to play. Names of characters in this story are living persons used with their permission; excepting Colin Firth, Nick Hornby, well you get the idea. The movie and photos are non existent and were designed for the stories only. All of the places visited, toured or stayed at are real and exist. The books used for making the movies are also real though not all published yet. (I do have a tattoo, just not the one described in the stories. I do not have one of his shirts or his address, nor have I ever had an email.)  Thank You.
