I'd also like to see Ennis and Ellery take another holiday together  :)

I think those legs go... all the way... to the TOP.
“Mr. Coyote always gets me good, boy,”  Ellery said, winking.  “Almost forgot what life was like before I got me my own personal coyote.”

Plots already selected for a story:  "Dupree's Choice" - about Dupree discovering his sexual preferences and his love life opening up
                                               


Am I wrong, or wasn't there a suggestion a while ago that there be a poll taken on what we wanted to happen in the 'Dupree's choice' story-line? I think that would be a great way to generate further reader interest in the LS. Perhaps it could be a closed poll in which the result only gets to be 'announced' when Louisev publishes the story incorporating the most favoured option.
I gave him what I hoped was that hopeful innocent puppy look that said “don’t you just want ta rub my tummy” rather than that hungry, ravenous wolf look that said “why don’t you just come out a that brick house so I can eat you up little pig?” LVH: 'What I did on my Day Off'

yes, the Poll is still open.

"Get it On With Jeeves" is still the leading option followed by "Find Someone New at the Red Stallion and Experiment".

Short stories....

If you are moving in with me over the Christmas holidays, I think we need a Christmas story...and something that shows some divergence of personality. Like maybe Ennis is a real Christmas traditionalist, wants a tree, which Ellery has never done. And maybe Junior and Francie show up for cookie baking and the like....could be fun....

I can just picture Ellery under the Christmas tree with a nice big red bow tied around Little Jack. LOL (One for you Lucise!)

I'm still waiting for that Legal Entanglements and Couplehood conversation.  Ennis needs to be made a legal partner, with POA, and being in ellery's will, and vice versa, and they need to talk about that stuff, I think.
Jack:  I could kick your ass any day of the week.
Ennis:  Then the weeks where you live must have a No Fuckin' Way Day.

Umm..I don't think I'll be allowed to post such a pic here at Bettermost, Jo!   ;D
Thanks for the mental image though!  8)

re:  short stories - my wish list

Anything with Dupree is good,
Anything with Jeeves is good,
Anything with Dupree and Jeeves is REALLY good... ;)
Ennis and Ellery's first anniversary
Ennis and Ellery taking a vacation, without Junior and Francine calling every 3 minutes or dropping by,

And also  - Ennis and Ellery five years down the line, still going strong, bickering, making us laugh and having great smex!



Also, Lucise, loved the Dupree  picture-booklet, especially the red -bandana modelling puppy. Not so scary, is it, when worn by a really cute dog  ;D
