Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll

I am in chat today, doing resumes and stuff right now, and today is the chat day anniversary for Chez Tremblay. If you're online and want to gab, here I am!

Louise, good luck with your job search.

That appears to be my plan, yes.  It depends upon how much I get done today, since tomorrow I am going to a Mahler concert early in the morning and won't be home till evening, and I have to divide my time with resume-flogging.

Oooo, Mahler - that sounds so cool and fun!

Good luck with the job thing.  Sounds stressful!  Working is one stress I sure don't miss.

Big hugs

Oh my.  Thanks for that souxi.....no wonder Ennis and Ellery get all excited when they get that out of the bag!

Yes, a late night update!  Blame the coffee for the fancy parts!

Yummy.  That was totally delicious.  I'm treating that as my starter, and hope we get the main course and dessert soon!

Louise, I love your descriptions of Ennis' love and burning desire for Ellery, it's so hot and romantic.

okay, so here is the main course!

I have discovered that Friday is the low fanfic day!

All the numbers are down for Friday, despite multiple updates.

Looks like people have 'other things to do' on a Friday.  And Monday and Tuesday are "best" stats days!  go figure.

Hi Louise - first of all I'd like to say well done on such a great readership!!  I think it really shows how enjoyable and highly thought of your story is.

On another note, I noticed that the forums over on Dave Cullen are very quiet at the moment and the slash thread is being manned by a "skeleton crew" as a lot of members seem to be out of town for an event so I don't know if that is perhaps having an impact on your hits for this weekend?  It might be worth keeping a record over a month or give yourself a more accurate picture.  My husband also has the theory that people wait until they go to work and catch up on Mondays and Tuesdays so that might be another factor.

Anyway, enough of me with my stats crunching hat on (I have a pile of data sitting right here that I have to analyse for Friday - lol!) and best of luck with the job search

[louisev]

Yes, I thought about that too, merrobot.  I still read the DC fan fiction thread, and you may have a point.

Ah well, there are a whole lot more readers than I had even suspected in my wildest dreams, and that was my main reason for putting on a stats counter.  I also was curious as to how frequently and whether people were reading the first book, and there is a steady trickle each day!  So that has been fascinating to watch!

Louise, this is a picture of me..how I look at the moment, after just reading that new chapter.

you've got to pull yourself together!
