I think they are talking about the fan-manipulations of photographs, also know as fanart---photos that show interpretations of fanfiction. 
or sometimes the interpretations we just WANT to see and share!! LOL

Like a lot of the photos in our galleries, and on this thread!!

I have it from a reliable source that Ellery is really getting into this idea of a wedding, because he is really getting into the idea of a honeymoon. Heck, he's only been back at work two weeks, he's getting ready for another vacation.

Now, faithful readers will remember that Ellery mentioned, very early on, that his ancestors were from Scotland. So for a honeymoon, he is toying with the idea of week in a castle, like this. What do you think Ennis would think of that idea?




This is Castle Venlaw, in Peebles.

Oh my goodness.

It is coming up on 11 p.m., when my stats turn over, and the Laramie Saga has hit a 2 month traffic high with today's chapters of 2977 hits!  The highest we ever registered was 3122 hits on 27 September, but I think that day I posted four chapters.

Thanks for reading, everyone!  I wonder what the hit count will be for the "Sunday" chapter.

P.S.  And you better not say it's because I let it get "schmoopy"

Edna - agent of Schmoopy?  LOVE it!!

photo manips of a schmoopy reception - love it too!

somehow I get an image of a grey-haired woman with a Little Red Riding Hood costume, grey bun falling out of her hood, accompanied through the Big Dark Woods by Joe Cool - the "Peanuts" character of Snoopy with a suit and dark glasses.

Thanks for reading, everyone!  I wonder what the hit count will be for the "Sunday" chapter.

Maybe we should start a betting pool. Everyone picks a number, whoever comes closest without going over wins some fabulous prize, like a can of doughboys.

I'll start..my guess: 3255.

Post your guesses here and I'll start a list, which I will update periodically. Guesses will be accepted until the time the chapter is posted.

Have fun!

Some lessons I have picked up along the way ..

(1)
Every man is entitled to a private life .. What I mean to say is:
Every man reserves the right to wear black lacy panties under his well-pressed suit.





(2)
The man whose Calvin Klein cup overfloweth has a very good chance of getting caught with his pants down
in a men's room or in an unused bedroom with a hidden camera installed ..




(3)
There are some French Territories where only one man can travel ..




(4)
There is a natural progression for all things in life:

  to 


(5)
Yes, man can have more than one best friend:
and: 



What lessons have you learned along the way?
