Hey Lori,

You need a signature, you need an avatar...you drank the kool aid, now you're in the club.

Welcome Mandy, Souxi and MadLori!

I was the new kid here not that long ago, as I didn't discover The Laramie Saga until Louise was in the middle of writing book three.  I read like crazy to catch up (way too many 4 AM bedtimes!), but it was nice knowing that I could read as many new chapters as I wanted in a day!  Now that I've been caught up for a while, I'm like every one else, checking back several times a day for updates.  We're a greedy group!  With so many new readers discovering the saga, I'm starting to feel like one of the "old-timers"!

I joined Bettermost a month or so ago, and was warmly welcomed from the start.  This is a really nice (and fun!) group of people here.  I've enjoyed exploring some of the other threads too.  I highly recommend the photo caption thread Louise started on "I Love the Lighter Side": 

http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=3836.0

(Hope that worked - I've never tried to put in a link before.)

Again, welcome.  I hope you enjoy being here as much as I do!

Laurel



What Jack remembered and craved in a way he could neither help nor understand was the time that distant summer on Brokeback when Ennis had come up behind him and pulled him close, the silent embrace satisfying some shared and sexless hunger.   -Annie Proulx (Icon by alighttofollow)

Hey June -

Leslie and I are also big fans of the post-coital intimate chats!!!

(Louise just rolls her eyes at me whenever I beg for them to last a little longer...)

So we've got Mr. Coyote and China Doll - imagine the ribbin' Ellery would get at the bar if it slipped out that he was a China Doll...

Louise, do you have a current word count for the whole series?  Just curious.
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.

Oh yeah Kelly, I love chapters with really loooooooong after sex heart to hearts. Are you reading this Louise?!?
You know, often enough,  I enjoy them much more than the actual 'gettin fancy' stuff!  :o  :o  ;D That's hot and sexy and can get me all hot and bothered  ;D but the relaxed, sweet, easy going and FUN chats can really get to me

Oh, I can only imagine the reactions...

Is it Ellery's first nickname? I know Ennis has 4 of them, my favourites being Buttercup  ;D and Mr Please an Thank You!

“Yer more like Rapunzel gettin ready fer the Prince ain’t you?”

“Oh yer gonna call me Rapunzel now, huh?  Ain’t my hair a little dark ta be Rapunzel?”

“I dunno, why can’t ya have a black hair Rapunzel?”

“Because she had golden hair, Ennis.”

“Well you ain’t a beautiful young girl neither, so I can still call ya Rapunzel.  There, yer all combed out.”
