Sorry about that, just barely got the chapter posted before I had to be out the door. :)
Well, the conflict with Ennis won't be solely be about Alma. But we'll see more of that in the next few chapters... and definitely there does need to be openness between them, they're just creating problems for themselves. Silly boys. :P
Re: The Draft
Does it say whether there was a need to draft in 1963? Because from what my co-author says, they were not actively drafting in 1963/4.
twistedude:
In peacetime (after WW2), they drafted to keep a certain sized standing army intact...whether they were actively increasing ther wsize of the army (I believe they were sendsing guys to Vietnam as erarly as 1963!) or nopt, I don't know. Plenty on Google under "the draft." Interesting ythat one of the two changes proulx made in the story after the puiblication in the New Yorker was to switch "miliytary serviuce" to "the draft..."
Ennis's description of Jack is so beautiful..I've been going around all day looking for people I knew, or even didn't know, with ears like butterfly wings...
Sheera:
There were men in Vietnam as early as '64, but I don't know about '63. Like I told Sarah when we started writing the story, I didn't want to have to do any research for it since I do plenty of that for Nightfall :) I PMed her the plot bunny because it was one I'd been tossing around in my head for awhile but didn't have the energy to pursue, at least not alone. So she handles all that end of it. And she's a PoliSci major so she's quite a bit more knowledgeable than me :)
Oh, and I've got about 1200 words for the next Nightfall chapter so I think it will be ready to post soon. :)

Hi Sheera!
Wonderful! Really looking forward to the next chapter, didn't like the way the last one ended :(
Sapphire:
I've been lurking for quite a long time, looking into threads and what not. I find this fic so intriguing because it feels so poetic, yet its set in such an unpoetic time period, that is, the part when the Nazi's come in. Not so good.
We had an update a few weeks ago, but its been a drought for a while. Sheera? How's about an update?
