Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll

I just realized that stats chick hasn't checked in in awhile...a long while.

This thread is number 3 in replies with 6750. Top of the list is Jess's Feed Shop (11607) and next, the ABC's game (8557). We've been in this position for awhile and I don't see any immediate change.

What is more interesting is the number of views: ABC's is #1, with 65236, but this thread is very close behind (right on the heels, actually) with 60535. The next closest is The Performance with 34894. That is more than 25000 views LESS. What this tells me is that we have tons of people who read this thread, but don't post...sort of like the Saga. Louise and I have estimated that for every 1 reader who comments, there are 10 to 15 who read without saying anything. The views on this thread would seem to bear that out.

And if we all start viewing and refreshing furiously, we mght just pass the ABC's game...

As Sheriff Roland notes in another thread, this board (FanFic) is the fourth most popular board at Bettermost right now. As Ellery would say, Whoo-wee!

Hey Guys,

Just been to Brokebackslash, and there's a fic featuring Ennis, Ellery and Jack NOT written (I think) by Lousie ? set after the end of the LS ...

Um..anyone know what that is about ?

All I know is that it's most definitely NOT written by Louise!! And Ellery dies in it.....        

And I'm wondering if all of this is allowed?

Incredible but not unpredictable given the history of the person who write this is all I can say about this.

Ellery DIES??? now, that's just ridiculous...

I remember back when, when a fan of Somebody New posted a fic in that universe while the story was still being written. It was meant as a tribute, and was really quite well written, but Jena asked the author, and it was taken down.

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...

I don't give a rat's piss (forgive my french .. ) for a story in which Ellery dies!
I mean come on, Jack is dead, now Ellery?  Come on, what did Ennis ever do to all these haters?  Let the man have some love, ok?


In THIS story, ENNIS and ELLERY LIVE!!

Take that and chew on it! 

Now I gotta go to bed.  Night night folks!

Yeah Milli, that's what makes me so sad    I just don't get it.

Nite! 

I love this gorgeous Shane avatar even more than the other one!

This is really sad, isn’t it?

Well I've just been to LiveJournal and there are a number of deleted entries, so it looks like this fic has been taken down.

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
