Norway is beautiful, the people are friendly and everyone speaks English. The downside? Everything costs a fortune...<snip>... That car, which costs me $35 to fill up here at home, cost close to $90 to fill up in Norway.

I've always fancied going to Norway :)  I was reading a bit about it, and the reason that everything is so expensive is that everyone gets paid a decent wage there, so that adds considerably to the cost of things.

When will you have the first chapter posted up in livejournal??
AS I may never find any such link trying to wade throught the 'chat audition' whatever whereever.

I supposedly got into the fanfiction room, but never found any link or any idea of how to go about finding it???   I can chat, but don't see any "pages" and NO LINKS to anything--so exacty where are we supposed to be able to find that link to the first chapter-----and again---WHEN do you put it up in Livejournal so I can read it????

Ranchgal I always post links here when I write the chapters, as well as on davecullen.com.  The chat is just for ... you know - chat.  So far I have not written the first chapter of the new book... because the plot is still gelling in my brain.

Oh for goodness sake everybody, read the description of the new book:

The new book in the series is tentatively titled  "Shelter from the Storm'" and will chronicle Ennis and Ellery's experiences as they deepen their commitment to one another in an increasingly hostile environment of fear surrounding the spread of the AIDS epidemic and its impact upon the life and community of  the Red Stallion, and a crime wave of attacks against homosexuals.

Ennis ain't goin far!!!

Louise posted a comment about her intentions to continue the Laramie Saga with a fourth installment at LiveJournal that I just saw.  She mentions appreciation for those who support her view of Ennis continuing his life after Jack's death and why the sort of resolution that Ennis & Ellery offer us is important to so many of us affected/devastated by Brokeback Mountain.

Thank you for your note of support and positive commentary, Lynne.  I appreciate it, and I know that the E & E fans here appreciate it tremendously as well.  Over the past couple of weeks, and particularly during the past four or five days, I have been literally flooded with comments, messages, and fan mail from folks who have read and appreciate the Laramie Saga, and I am sure it greatly reassures these readers, in an atmosphere of controversy, that there is a place where there will continue to be a philosophical support for the idea of "moving on" past the tragedy of Brokeback Mountain, and that there is still a place where open discussion of these ideas, and fiction that dramatizes them, can be freely and openyl discussed without fear of criticism.

I know I need it, and I have heard from many many others, who do!
