Stats Update:
We are within easy striking distance of overtaking "The Performance" in number of views, and have very firmly established ourselves ahead of the "Person Below Me" game in number of replies. Next big milestone will be to overcome the NC17 thread for replies (about 500 to go to get there, but at least they are not a moving target since that thread is dead). At our current rate, we could do that in 8 to 10 days. If the story heats up, it may be faster.
Why do I care about this stuff? You tell me. I must have a hidden competitive streak I never knew about. LOL

CarolK1943:
Who Am I?
My name is Carol and I was born in 1943 - hence my username. This makes me the same age as Jack and Ennis - I was also 19 in the summer of 1963. I am originally from New Hampshire, but have lived in Michigan (that's EDT) for 44 years - originally to attend college, but after that I just stayed, got married, had kids, worked as a computer programmer and computer systems analyst, had grandkids, retired. Now I babysit my youngest daughter's 6 kids while she works 2 jobs.
I used to read books and do genealogy, but now I read BBM fanfiction and slash. I became aware of the movie from TV ads in early Dec, read the story in Jan, saw the movie in Feb and again in Mar - took my 14-year-old granddaughter both times. No movie, TV show or book has ever affected me this much and I don't even know why. All I know is I cry in the movie when Jack cries and I cry in the movie when Ennis cries. I cry when I read of these events in fan fiction - especially mention of Jack's death and realizing Ennis is now alone. I don't want to see Ennis grow old alone.
I say I can't read Dead!Jack fic, but I love all of the Laramie stories. I can't get past the first page of "Widower", but I loved "Riding Fence". I'll read or at least start to read almost anything BBM or RPS. I guess I'm inconsistant, because I just love a happy ending for Jack and Ennis - loved "Love Born From Steel" - but also like MovingOn!Ennis.
I'll never have much to say, but I read all posts here.

Oh yeah, Hugh Jackman makes a GREAT Ellery. Just need to darken his hair (and lengthen it) and grey his eyes and voila!
