Tisk tisk,  now Milli,  you didn't tell me that you had a picture of Dupree lounging around off duty!



Hehe..technically, that is the sheep trainer, Mr Indapaddock  from the  BAM Production (lounging on the Director's couch) ...  :laugh:  But I am sure he can double as Dupree!  ;D

I love the pic of "Carol" because I am sure I wrote her up as blonde and she definitely has that big wide welcoming smile that is just a little too cheerful.

Like how the moustache-free Wes got morphed,
And yes that WOULD be about how Ellery looks in his little short short robe!  (without silk pants of course)

And I am just falling all over myself that you guys are not only keeping up with the plot in the story but ILLUSTRATING IT!

er: 

EDIT:

Ellery led the way in to the nondescript low brick building, and stopped before a fishbowl where a middle aged woman with tobacco-stained teeth and a rather large bouffant hairdo broke her sullen expression with a wide smile when she saw the lean deputy stride in the door.  Here we go again, Ennis thought, as the  woman seemed to melt like chocolate in hot sunlight when Ellery greeted her.

“Mr. Coyote always gets me good, boy,”  Ellery said, winking.  “Almost forgot what life was like before I got me my own personal coyote.”

You know who we're missing? Rudy, Gabe, Lauren and Lang the biker (David, you still searching through that porn for Lang?)

Except for Ellery's house, we're missing lots of locations: Wes & Edna's house with stable; the "fishbowl"; Ivinson Hospital; and an exterior shot of The Red Stallion.

Animal actors: Pal, Socks, and Nellie, of course, who had a starring role already and has a big scene coming up on Sunday!

Props: a box of cigarillos, a grill (it has a cover, a Weber?), a can of creamed corn, pearl handled pistols, Ellery's gun, bullets, ashtray and shoulder holster (anything having to do with Ellery we want MORE of), speaking of...Ellery's flip flops. Oh...we should have Jack's diary, too, doncha think?

Get to work, team! I have a chapter to edit on Urinary Dysfunction (don't ask...)

oh and... Leon.  Who might possibly be a thorn in Ennis's side further down the road.

Ivinson Hospital is real... no making up hospitals for me, but I didn't find a pic of it originally, I conceived of it as a one floor hospital like some of the suburban hospitals I have known in my lifetime.  Laramie is population 25,000, so it is not a large city.

Just a quick post to say a BIG thank you to Mainewriter for starting this thread, to Louise for creating this wonderful story and to you guys for making me LOL with all this 'madness'  :-*

Now, quickly, back to LiveJournal. I'm still reading Looking for Answers, chapter 32 when Ennis is collecting Jack's ashes
might not get much sleep tonight, when I get to reading and drinking :D

Well THANK YOU for that thank you! This has turned into a fabulous fun thread. I love having Louise here and getting our own Bettermost updates to the story (before I had to hang out at davecullen to get them). And not that anyone is paying attention or anything, but we got the update for chapter 43 twelve minutes before the davecullen folks. LOL

Leslie, you are the ring leader of this Ennis & Ellery "nut house".  And we thank you very much for that. :)

I appreciate the 12 minutes advantage; it made a great difference to cure our obsession. LOL
