Since you asked so nicely. ;D
Not really my most inspired chapter, but I'm hoping but as all these parts I'm trying to weave start coming together it will make more sense. Plot and I aren't always the best of friends...

Chapter 9 is up---you just go to chapter 1 and march (if you'll pardon the exprerssion) down the list...how can a scene between Loreen and Jack be so sexy?
I was telling Sheera that under Mao (China, 1949-1976) some of the conscripted painters got themselves a classical education in art by being allowed into the locked museums "to practice my work" for the great Cultural Revolution...but of course Mao wasn't quite as bad as The House Painter (as the Italians--those in their right minds)--called him.
Alma looms as more and more of a problem, because it's Jack who needs taking care of, and Ennis doesn't (as yet) even seem to be able to take care of himself...
More....s'il vous plait...

I've been a huge fan of Nightfall for a while. Its very unique and its very well written. I take german in HS so i know the words that aren't translated. Very good, and some parts feel so sensual, and romantic. I think the author (name is too long to type) is my favorite FF writer. I also loved The Words Would Not Come. Another favorite of mine that ends sweetly.

LOL! I hadn't even been thinking that while writing it. But she's most certainly on the women side of the orientation spectrum and he's on the man's, so nothing will be developing there unless they decide to surprise me ;)

It's fascinating to see how the same practices of indoctrination are used again and again throughout history (what you were saying about how Mao also got a lot of portraiture commissioned). Interesting that in this case the artists actually benefitted, though!

Wow, thank you so much! Brokeback is my first foray into fanfiction and it's been so rewarding, it's truly an honor that you would say that :)

Ahhh, interestingly enough I'm doing a re-write of that story. It looks like I'll be adding in a lot more content and just re-posting the whole thing once I'm done--the editing bug bit me pretty badly! I'm a little afraid of messing it up but I'm having it beta'd this time to make sure I don't :)
twistedude:
Sheera: I didn't mean "sexy" as in man-woman sex, I meant sexy in Jack's communication of his feelings about Ennis...sorry for the mixup!
Between yoiu and Jess (marakeshsparrow), I am kept so in awe of the writing springing from Brokeback. I think, in addition to a great shiort story, we owe Proulx a debt of gratitude for a few budding great writers that might never have existed if it weren't for hers.
You guys make me ashamed to put words on paper...but I keep plugging along anyway!~
