Y'all...I've noticed that I've been reading and writing so much m/m type fic that reading or writing anything about hetero relationships feels just...wrong.

Oh noes!  TEH GAY has me!
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.

There's such a thing as "TEH Gay"?  Do you suppose I caught it?

I wrote a novel at the beginning of this year that is strictly hetero, I wonder if it will feel wrong if I go back and reread it?

oh that is a devilish question.

I stand by my original belief, that Ellery would pre-empt Ennis's own choice by breaking it off with him.  However, I doubt that would solve anything for Ennis, Ellery, OR Jack, and would pretty much be a gesture of useless self-sacrifice on Ellery's part.  Good thing we're certain that couldn't happen in this reality, huh?

HUH?

Yes, louise, can't happen in reality.  I have to admit, I wasn't sure I really cared for the question in the first place (like I almost wished Lori hadn't asked).  However, it has been really fascinating reading everyone's responses.  I hadn't even bothered to wonder about what Jack would have been doing for two years... my emotions went straight to "flip-out/can't possibly comprehend the situation" mode.  I don't have any answers, except to say I agree, Ellery doing the polite step out of the way thing would indeed be useless self sacrifice and I would want to slap him upside the head for it.  And, I think it would piss Ennis off, Ellery in a sense not even giving him the opportunity to choose.

Thought I better make sure everyone saw the new pics of Heath that were posted today at BBS:

These were taken just last week at the Toronto Film Festival.  Yay, he shaved!
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.
