Welcome Tess:
It was wonderful to see you here after all this time. I love your fics and think you have a great grasp
on the psychology of your characters. Looking forward to the rest of your stories, and hope you learn
to enjoy your time here on Bettermost.
It has been my experience in regards to the slang you are using, like warsh and goin, that it is more
an indication of educational status, than regional. People use what I call lazy speech patterns, I have been
raised all my life around people that talked that way, and I was in California. They were mostly the so called
"Oakies" from the depression era migration to California. I didnt ever think of it as regional, so much as
class and educational.

The latest chapter

I´m hooked
Monika:
this story really is moving along nicely. I like the pace and I find the events very realistic.
Brown Eyes:
Thanks for the update Bud. :) I've actually fallen way behind with this story.
The domestic violence starting point has been very, very hard for me to get past. I find it nearly or maybe entirely impossible to develop a sense of sympathy for Ennis with that kind of starting point. I was hoping I'd be able to get beyond that, but I hadn't been able to do that after the first few chapters. So, I pretty much stopped reading a couple chapters ago.
I still really admire Tes's writing, and as I've said repeatedly 48 Days and Book of Dreams are some of my all time favorite stories.
Maybe I'll give this one another try at some point.
Monika:
I hope you´ll give it another try, Amanda. The abuse isn´t swept under the rug as if it means nothing, but dealt with and the author realy has Ennis dealing with the consequences.
Chapter 8 is up. This story has become my latest fic addiction
