"And they clung to one another, inseparable, as the hostile night was driven back beyond the plywood securing their window from those who could not understand or appreciate their inexpressible joy."

You know this quote from the end of chapter 58 could be applied to those who do not appreciate this story. They hurl rocks at the window failing to comprehend the joy we all take in this fabulous fic!.



Jo, in your inimitable clever way you have perceived the story within the story!!!  Yes, there are stone-throwers, those who believe they are the keepers of the true spirit of BBM, dictating to others what they should read and what they should like.  There is room for all kinds of BBM fan fics here, and the Laramie Saga is one of them.

Okay guys, I just got dragged off to the boss's office, who just found out I can't sign a new contract because of a clause in the old one, and apparently righteousness pays off since they just extended me till end of November.

The wolf gets pushed back from the door for another month!

Good news, you have at least one more month to sort things out.

yes, very very good news.  Now I can say with certainty that I will be completing the Saga within calendar November. I was thinking I would have to hurry and do it all and then move, and now I won't have to move until after November!

well I do have a new plan... *muah hahahahaha*

and that is to assemble a printed fanzine.  It's just a theory right now, and it will take some work, because I want to iron out some of the continuity errors that occurred from the first three books about Ellery's age and parents and college stuff, but I am sort of liking the idea.

That having been said... this could take a little while.  And of course, I would be enlisting the inimitable Lucise! in illustrating it for me, using the likenesses of our boys in their most desired poses. ahem.
