Thanks for the welcome.  Its nice to be here.

Yes, I agree about Ennis - he does have a right to be happy, although I didnt think I would ever get so involved in a story that didnt have Ennis and Jack living that sweet life.  Madlori got me so intrigued by her wonderful post about the story, that I just had to give it a go - and the way she described Ellery, boy I just had to see what he was like for myself!

Just one question - when talking about the latest chapters, do you have to post it as a spoiler or is it ok to just talk about it anyway, with quotes and such?  I dont want to be getting in to trouble on my first day!   :)

Hi Christie,

Since not everyone that reads the thread is caught up we do our best to post Spoiler at the top of a post where we are going to discuss specific details.  Sometimes we get so excited we forget, but we do our best, and Louise gives us gentle reminders every now and then...

(but if you mess up, no worries - you might get a Mr. Coyote spank, but that's about it...  ;) )
(Okay, forget I said that, now everyone will WANT to mess up...)

In celebration of our 4,000 posts, I dedicate this song to Ennis and Ellery, and also in memory of Freddie Mercury who would've turned 60 on September 5th.




Crazy Little Thing Called Love
By Queen

This thing called love I just can't handle it
this thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love
This (This Thing) called love
(Called Love)
It cries (Like a baby)
In a cradle all night
It swings (Woo Woo)
It jives (Woo Woo)
It shakes all over like a jelly fish,
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby
She knows how to Rock n' roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat

I gotta be cool relax, get hip
Get on my track's
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love

I gotta be cool relax, get hip
Get on my track's
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motor bike
Until I'm ready (Ready Freddie)
Crazy little thing called love

This thing called love I just can't handle it
this thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love
