You bet. . . . just need to do another, slower re-read and gather them coherently.

Holy crap - are you serious? A million. That's mind-boggling - a million amazing words. Ideas? A few words on what "Taking Chances" and the entire saga means to you? (I could write more than just a few words on that). On a lighter note -
Favorite moments by category? Favorite Wayne-isms? Wes-isms? Favorite Ellery pose? Favorite getting fancy moment?

We have an important anniversary coming up on Thursday, May 3rd...that is the day, one year ago, that Louise began writing "Taking Chances." In her original vision it was going to be a short story, detailing the visit of a rural gay man to a discreet "men's club" in the city. One million words later...
I'd like to have some sort of celebration. Thoughts?

I love Marie's idea!
Although I can safely say that my favorite getting fancy moment would be practically, um, all of them.. 8)
MaineWriter:
Everyone,
Louise will be beginning an epic journey at 2 pm tomorrow (midnight tonight, EDT). I have written a few details about it in my blog, "From the World International Headquarters" over on the Your Daily Thoughts board.
Please hold Louise close in your hearts and minds as she travels (literally) around the world.

I like the idea of favorite moments, favorite scenes, whatever! Let's have fun. Remember, if you post a direct quote that references Ellery's devoted and loving life partner, his name is Colson now, so please edit accordingly.
Just to get things started...
Favorite Wayne-ism (and this is from memory): "He asked me if I liked to suck cock. What was I goin ta say...NO?"
And this, from "What I Did On My Day Off" is one of my absolute favorite paragraphs...
And rushin down those stairs, throbbin everywhere a man could throb without bein beat up, was when I realized I’d fallen in love with a man I’d just met, and at the moment when there wasn’t a damn thing I could do about it. It was time to be the law. For that half hour, I really fuckin hated my job.
