Title: Once Was Lost(OWL), Return to Home and other Booklovergirl(Carol) stories
Post by: ImJackshesEnnis on September 05, 2007, 07:43:09 am: I'm here to pimp my girl's writings. lol. From the angsty Once Was Lost to the tear-jerker Return To Home to the sexy and hot (just wait! There's more coming soon!) Fire & Ice, let's make this the place to talk about and discuss Carol's writings under the LJ name Booklovergirl.

Personally, my view is a wee bit biased so I can't comment too much, besides I've been collaborating with and for her through all these works, sitting next to her as she type-type-types away on her laptop.

And if we start talking about it here, maybe, just maybe, she'll finally post the famous peanut butter cookie recipe.....

Post by: louisev on September 05, 2007, 10:23:41 am: I dont read a lot of stories, but when I saw the premise for "Return to Home" I thought - what the heck is this? Ennis in an old folks home? and I read it.

And I was very pleasantly surprised at the way this story played out! It was quite well done, short, and sweet, too!

I just read the first four chapters of Fire & Ice yesterday and they were great. Looking forward to more.

I look forward to reading Once Was Lost and Return to Home.

Now, what was that about peanut butter cookies?

Thanks for the heads up,
Marie

I loved Return to Home too. That was such a touching story, Carol! Welcome to you both by the way! :)

Post by: mariez on September 05, 2007, 08:13:20 pm: I just finished Return to Home and wanted to thank you for the story. I agree with Louise's and Mel's comments - it was beautifully written and touching on so many levels. I have a special place in my heart for the elderly and the images you gave us of Ennis's final days and his Jack leading him "home" were profoundly moving. I love a good cry and you sure gave me one. :)

Once Was Lost is next on my list!

Thanks again,
Marie

Post by: imennisshesjack on October 27, 2007, 11:02:36 am: Hi all,
What a nice place you have here. ;)
Thanks for discussing my stuff, and thanks for the pimpage, girl.
Chapter 10 of F&I is underway. Should be posted this weekend.

OWL is closest to my heart, b'c it was the first fic I ever wrote and actually finished.
RTH is my baby; it has a lot of personal bits in there.
F&I is fun b'c it's my ode to hockey and J&E.

After that, I'll concentrate on one-shots.

Guess I'll see ya 'round then...
Carol

Post by: mariez on October 27, 2007, 11:22:24 am: Hi Carol,

Thanks for stopping by. I'm all caught up with Fire & Ice and I'm glad to hear the next chapter is in the works! It's great to see a fic with J&E as professional athletes - a really interesting area to explore and you're doing a great job with those dynamics.

chapter 13

If you're not reading it yet, I really recommend it. The premise threw me off at first... it's about Jack and Ennis both being pro-hockey players. I'm not much of a sports person, so it took me a while to give this story a shot. And, it's well worth a read. Very good writing and interesting circumstances.
