Folks, I figured since I was in such a somber state of mind over the weekend, I should share with you some good news.
As you know, I have begun the process of putting out updates and announcements about the Laramie Saga to the two large Livejournal communities for fan fiction: BBMSlash and Wranglers. I will begin posting updates on those communities for "Shelter From the Storm" starting now.
As a result of my posting yesterday, I am getting Livejournal feedback from the beginning of "Taking Chances" and it warmed my heart to read comments from NEW fans of the Saga. Included with each of these announcements is an invitation to join the "Ennis and Ellery" discussion as well as the Fan Fiction section of Bettermost.
In addition, last night after posting my announcement, there were from 8 to 12 lurkers reading the "Ennis and Ellery" thread here, in addition to registered users.
Let's give a warm hello to the lurkers, lots more beautiful damn skinny men, hot extras, and photographic galleries! Welcome Lurkers!
