oh my lord...
I think my brain melted this weekend from the combination of new reader comments and existing reader comments... I spent most of the weekend poring over the flood of LJ's I have gotten from seemingly everywhere. The insights and responses have been incredible - some of them breathtaking - to read, and I have a very "aw shucks" feeling about it all and a little embarrassment at all of the attention.
And here I thought "The Long Way Home" would be a quiet, contemplative story after all the excitement... it would appear that the readers have been ploughing through CSI:Laramie to get to the "good stuff" about Ennis and Jack, and Ennis and Ellery and the Brokeback memorial all this time. Silly me.
