I now feel that you are almost treated like a troll on the Cullen slash forum if you dont go along with The Widower line (just the name gives me the creeps) and post positive comments about the Saga.

Over there, they have what I call "the annointed fics." There are about five of them. They get discussed and "squeeed" endlessly. Then there are the rest of us who go into the big black hole of fic-dom. Fortunately for Louise (and me, my story has its own thread, too) we fell into that hole and came out on the other side...Bettermost.

And Widower...I sometimes wonder if something is wrong with my eyeballs and brain. I couldn't even finish the first chapter! And believe me, I tried...I haven't been able to read the other annointed fics, either. Jack with Alzheimer's, Ennis as a VAMPIRE. People think this makes sense?

I wonder if another might be that they don't to believe or accept that Ennis is actually capable of entering in, sustaining, and growing in a relationship? Hmmm....

I think I agree with you on this... I think to say Ennis would never move on really limits/trivializes him as a person. And, as I've said before, just because he 'moves on' doesn't mean he loved/loves Jack any less, it is just him changing and growing as a person, and what is wrong with that. (It is okay to find a way to 'live again.' Please don't interpret what I've said as me meaning there is any sort of time table or routine to grieving, and moving on, I just mean I think it's unfair to say that moving on can't happen, and unfair is probably a poor choice of wording... I will catch up on the posts and likely find someone who has said this better...)

Exactly. And since the Jack & Ennis forever folks have both of them up there with wings and halos, why would they want to trivialize/diminish their beloved Ennis? It just doesn't make sense. And this is the way all their reasoning goes...talk about circular logic!

This thread is moving fast...just wanted to remind everyone:
We have an Ennis and Ellery poll over in the polling place. Take a minute to vote and share your comments. Thanks!
