For the love of God, can't these people give it a rest already! They don't like the Laramie Sage, fine, cool, whatever. Lots of us do, so sod off and let us enjoy it.
Honestly, surely there are more constructive ways to spend one's time.
Hope you are all well today :)

Mornin all, mornin June. ;) ;) :-*
I hadnt heard about that story Kazza, and I,m glad I never got to see it. It must have been written by one of the many trolls who (A) hate the LS and (B) are obviously insanely jealous of Louise and all the attention that she and the LS, quite rightly is getting. I,m glad it got taken down. As for well today, well I feel a bit like a zombie today. I woke up at about 2.am and then laid there saying, "go to sleep" for the next, I dunno, 3 hours maybe? My brain was whirring round and round. I just could NOT go back to sleep. So obviously when it was time to get up and get kids ready for school etc, I was NOT a happy bunny. Then, I thought, I,ll go and get some petrol early, before the rush, and take my daughter to school at the same time. Well after I,d got my petrol, I had to fight my way through flamin road works!!! >:( >:( >:( So what should have taken about 10 mins max, took half an hour. I,d have got my petrol yesterday but the station was shut because the tanker was filling up the tanks. Why does that always happen when your just about on empty? grrrrrr. Think I,ll go drop a bomb on Bunny or something. ;) ;)

I'm sure this new fic is also written as a tribute to the LS (hey, a lot of us make-up stories in our head about it LOL ), but maybe its' author should have contacted Louise and asked for her permission beforehand. Or maybe he did and we just don't know about it...

Unfortunately RonitR just the opposite is true. LS and Louise have been subjected to a campaign of abuse dating back many months. This is just the latest manifestation. The response to any complaints is: "You just can't take criticism". I can understand some people finding the idea of Ennis finding a new love upsetting because I can imaginatively put myself in that mental space. They can't or won't return the favour in terms of our pain at the idea of Ennis being left to live a lonely, miserable existence. I guess it's easier to lash out and find apparently rational reasons for doing so. Even if their compaints were valid, for example, that Jack's memory is disrespected (which we all know is just not the case) that would still be no excuse for the hate campaign that has gone on. Their behaviour has been utterly despicable.

I don’t think the story is taken down now and I doubt it will be. Just how pathetic some people can be!

The fic you mention has nothing to do with the "Laramie Saga" and is written by someone who has not been given my permission to use my characters or plot.
If you would like to help, please urge the moderators of BBSlash to enforce their rules regarding plagiarism and ownership, which are posted under "User Info." The Laramie Saga and its original characters, belong to me, as do the content of my links and stories. No one, I repeat, NO ONE, has been given permission to use them in any other stories.
You can voice your objections to plagiarized and unauthorized content being posted on BBSlash by sending mail to:

I also urge you not to engage in debates or to leave comments to that story, as it will do what the author had intended: to draw attention to it and to draw people into argument. There is no argument: this fandom should remain free of plagiarism, and the members of the fandom, and its archives, should not allow plagiarists free rein to post stories which include the content or characters from other stories without permission.
As per the instructions posted on BBSlash - please send your complaint regarding plagiarism to the moderators: do not post it in comments on the post, as they try to keep the community free of controversy.
