I thought you were not allowed to swear on this forum??

You can set it in your profile. You can't swear in the old chat, not sure if this is something you can change in the new version.

My 3 cents on MovingOn!Ennis discussion:

I was really surprised to hear that people were 'attacking' Louise for writing a fanfic about Ennis moving on and getting a lover and falling in love again.  Why is that such a terrible thing?  Why is that so offensive to some people?  I don't understand all the drama and anger over Ennis carrying on and trying to get a life after Jack  ???.  Would we rather see Ennis die slowly in that shitty lil trailer, smoking and drinking himself to death?  I mean seriously ...

Louise is doing an excellent job as a writer and a storyteller, and that has to count for something.  She has shown no disrespect to the memory of Jack or their love.  There is no reason for any sort of hostility towards her story.  Of course, not everybody is interested in fanfics or can relate to every story/fic out there, granted!  But I have issues with the idea that Ennis moving on is some kind of sacrilege.  ???

Bottom line is:  Louise, you can't please everyone.  You are doing a damn fine job!  And there are people out there (as you can see from the comments on here) who know that loving the Laramie Saga does not nullify the love for Brokeback Mountain or Jack&Ennis, nor does it minimise what they had for 20 years.

All in all ... More grease to your elbows hun and KEEP UP THE BRILLIANT WORK!   :-*

Amen to that!

And the end of chapter 81 had me crying softly - in a good way - for both our boys. Oh, this was a really beautiful love scene. *sigh*
Peace be with y'all,
