Lynne--
Welcome to our little group, although I know you are not new to Bettermost. Glad to have you here.
It's funny, I wrote my story and had all these (obsessed) fans writing, screaming for more...but being the author and knowing what was going to happen, more or less, I could be calm about the whole thing. Now I am on the other side...totally obsessed! What a story. What fun this all is. LOL

I don't know what to say. I walked into my office a little while ago, checked into Bettermost, saw all of the photoshop work these busy fans have done, and my stomach is flipping.
I have been a novelist for the past ten years, went through the wilting experience of having my friends say "Sorry I don't read" and "how long is it?" and ultimately convincing the occasional anonymous stranger to read my (rather lengthy) novels all the way through, to middling responses, and it wasn't until very recently when more and more people began to comment on my Livejournal that I realized what "having an audience" meant. It is strange, it is intoxicating, and it is a bit overwhelming. Thank you for the welcome, Lynne, I got an email yesterday welcoming me from the administrator of the board, and I have to say that I feel "not quite ready" for the kind of limelight I am getting. But I'm beaming wildly all at the same time. Thank you so much for letting me know how much you enjoy my fics, and for giving such positive and helpful feedback.
And yes, David really DID give me a very good and very evil idea. Keep the evil ideas coming, because some of them are quite usable.

Ms Lucise: the full shot is great. You can see Jack's face.
Can you artists fix it so we can see both Jack's and Ennis' face?

I had this one posted first, but then switched it for the one with a better view of Ennis's face. But I'll never argue against seeing Jack/Jakes handsome face either! :)
