I'm hoping this will ultimately lead our boys to a lengthy lovemaking session which will require at least two chapters to fully describe in intimate detail.

after a difficult and passionate shouting match.

Well gang,
I had a both relaxing! and productive! day at work today. Considering the hair-raising hijinks of the weekend, with sirens and fires and traffic being rerouted through my normally sleeply little burb of Burbach... I found out today that a rubber warehouse near my house had burned down. Hence all the billowing black smoke, and the lingering sickly acrid odor permeating the air in our neighborhood. Just lovely to sniff when it's over 30 degrees C. And yes... the smell is STILL there.
It occurs to me after the fact that the unrelenting "police emergency" theme from Saturday's chapters may have had a lot to do with hearing sirens for 12 hours straight. I think that means things will settle down in the foregoing chapters I have yet to write tonight!!!

2 At the very least!! ;) ;) btw Louise I,ve started reading the story all over again from the start.(I,ve also got to stock up on more ink for my printer) It gets better with each reading. Ennis has really come a long long way hasnt he? I know he,s not comfortable with public shows of affection yet, but in the interview room he hugged Ellery and called him darlin without seeming to care that Edna was in the room so thats a good thing.
Great story Louise, as always. :) :)

Friends--
I am having the weirdest reaction and you need to help me a bit.
If you read back a few pages, when we were doing a little re-introduction of ourselves, I mentioned how I found out about Ennis & Ellery in the first place--an email from a fellow fanfic author who was commenting more on Louise's incredible output, rather than on the story. Anyway, I happened to get an email from her earlier today (we don't correspond all that regularly, more like once in awhile) and in my reply I said, "Did you ever start reading the E&E story? You originally sent me the link and I got hooked."
She writes back and says she had to quit reading after 5 or 6 chapters and listed all the reasons...none of which happened in the first 5 or 6 chapters. In fact, some of her reasons never happened at all! But meanwhile, even while admitting she didn't read the story, she is busy tearing it down.
I have the same reaction to people who say, "I will not watch BBM, but..." and then provide an inaccurate critque.
I am so tempted to write back and blast her out of the water but then I say, what's the point? Why bother? If she doesn't want to read, she doesn't need to read, right? But it is that visceral reaction of "don't you dare say anything bad about E&E!" And it is also the reaction of those who would critique a story who haven't even read it. THAT just makes me see red.
I think I am also a little po'ed because way back when she wouldn't read my story, with the lame excuse that she wasn't reading any fanfics while she wrote her own. I knew that wasn't true since she was posting reviews all over the place, but whatever. Now she comes back and tells me she has started reading my story and guess what? She thinks it's good! Wowza! But then she says, "I wouldn't read it originally, because I didn't think you were going to be nice to Jack." Huh? "I saw it on a list of stories with happy endings and decided to give it a try." What's that called--damning with faint praise? Please.
Sorry for the rant, I just needed to get that off my chest. Thanks for listening.
