  1. Hi, me again. I can't believe I'm getting to pimp TWO stories in one week! Whoo-hoo!!!

     

    This time, instead of a birthday party, there's a bonfire going on in Stars Hollow. Fish Bag has posted an amazing new story.

     

    From the Frying Pan into the Fire

     

    Be aware that all is not happy in our little world in this first chapter, but Fish Bag is an incredibly talented writer, and I have no doubt that this story will be on many favorites' lists for years to come. Please go read it and encourage her to continue to share her brilliant stories with us.

  2. Hi! Do you mind if I chime in here for a minute? I haven't had time to rewatch, but two of your points, Taryn, have bugged me as well, and over the years I've come up with explanations I can live with.

    I know it's a plot point, but I find it really hard to believe that Lorelai wouldn't have even checked to see how much it would cost to send Rory to Chilton.  It makes her look really irresponsible and flighty.

    Lorelai makes a point of saying that she thought she'd be able to set up some sort of payment schedule. Apparently what threw her was Chilton's insistence on getting certain payments immediately. Of course, there's still no excuse about why she wouldn't have looked into that and had some sort of solution ready to go, except that Rory suddenly getting a spot was a complete surprise, and she never dreamed it would come about so quickly. But yes, if this had been their plan for years, to get Rory into a prep school, the money situation should have been already addressed.

     

    Sometimes I think Lorelai just does not know her mother at all.  I can't believe she admitted she was at a cat's wake.  Emily had every right to be upset over that.

    I so agree, even though that bit always makes me laugh, especially with the way Rory sees what's happening and tries so hard to get Lorelai to stop! I think, though, that's pure Lorelai. She talks first, thinks later. Especially if what she's going to say is funny. She was in her own world and had already completely forgotten everything Emily had wanted her to do.

     

    I like Luke in this episode, but I never think he really acts like Luke in it. He willingly shows up at Babette & Morey's for the wake, instead of having to be forced to attend. He's sitting on the piano bench, listening to Morey play instead of lurking somewhere off in the corner. Every time I see it, I think he wasn't clear on how to play the character yet. Mstaken, I think you're absolutely right about him in the Pilot vs. Cinnamon's Wake.

     

    And Rory is absolutely adorable in both episodes!

  3. Hello, all! Did you know tomorrow is Father's Day? Would you like to read some stories about Father's Day? We sure hope so, because Fish Bag threw out a challenge to create some stories with a Father's Day theme, and I know there are going to be at least FOUR of them popping up. Stay tuned, and check out FF in the morning!

  4. I won't presume to speak for Eledgy, but I will point out that so far she's written almost 155,000 words and 25 chapters of this epic story. I can't wait for the next chapter, either. Without a doubt it's one of the best things I've ever read. What a joy it is to have a story of this caliber to look forward to! Let's all send her some love and encouragement until the next update gets posted!
