Welcome to BetterMost, Louise & all of your fans - thank you for your gift to the Brokeback Mountain community.
-Lynne
I don't know what to say. I walked into my office a little while ago, checked into Bettermost, saw all of the photoshop work these busy fans have done, and my stomach is flipping.
I have been a novelist for the past ten years, went through the wilting experience of having my friends say "Sorry I don't read" and "how long is it?" and ultimately convincing the occasional anonymous stranger to read my (rather lengthy) novels all the way through, to middling responses, and it wasn't until very recently when more and more people began to comment on my Livejournal that I realized what "having an audience" meant. It is strange, it is intoxicating, and it is a bit overwhelming. Thank you for the welcome, Lynne, I got an email yesterday welcoming me from the administrator of the board, and I have to say that I feel "not quite ready" for the kind of limelight I am getting. But I'm beaming wildly all at the same time. Thank you so much for letting me know how much you enjoy my fics, and for giving such positive and helpful feedback.
And yes, David really DID give me a very good and very evil idea. Keep the evil ideas coming, because some of them are quite usable.
