Oh Lucise, I almost died laughing at your LJ comment:

Ennis has really gotta learn to unlock the cuffs when they are done playing 'cops and bandits-with-hard-ons'!!

Scudder, there are plenty of 'AU' (alternative universe) stories which work on exactly this premise.  It's true that many tend to focus on Ennis and Jack as a couple without much reference to Jack's life in Texas, although I have tried to balance my own story - Ennis on the Couch (http://community.livejournal.com/brokebackslash/720327.html#cutid1) with depictions of Jack's life with Lureen and Bobby while keeping the main focus of the piece on Ennis.  I would actually have liked to write about Jack but as Louise has shown us in LS, Ennis is a complex character with a great deal of potential for growth, given the right catalysts.

Thank you for your comments, Merrobot.  I think you understand what I mean about Jack.  Granted, Ennis is a complex character, but I think Jack is too.  After all, he had a horrendous childhood.  I am looking forward to reading your story.

I am making this as official as I can get now that I am at chapter 62:

I will be going to 100 chapters in this book, taking my time and not cutting it off.  So those of you who are getting nervous because the other books went to 84 or 86, don't get nervous till we hit chapter 99.

 :-*  :-*  :-*  :-*  :-*  :-*  :-*  :-*  :-*  :-*

I was getting REALLY nervous, it's eased off a little bit now. Whew!  ;D
