Whoa.

Either we have taken a major turn into suckville, and you guys are too shy to tell us (don't be) or we have stunned you into silence.

If it's the later, I'm left wondering whether I can write like a mofo or if that was just one big ol' piece of pr0nyness that is taking you time to digest.
Go, then; there are other worlds than these.

If, at his counsel, I should turn aside into that ominous tract which, all agree, hides the Dark Tower.
Yet acquiescingly I did turn as he pointed: neither pride nor hope rekindling at the end descried, so much as gladness that some end might be.

I'm just taking the advice of the Review thread and thinking things over first so I can come up with a good review for you guys :P which will be done when I get home.

Oh, and you definitely haven't gone down suckville :D

Yeah, I'm a bit worried about the chapter content in this story and how people will react, because it's definitely not like our normal stuff lol. That and I don't know how to gauge this story in terms of interest, purely because it's 1) rated MA and 2) mostly OCs.

I tried to review, but FF.net decided to have a meltdown just as I finished chapter four.

Plus, there are probably a lot of people who don't think to change the ratings to "All," so are simply unaware you guys have a new fic.

"I'm so upset, I was gonna commit suicide, but then I remembered we live on the first floor."

And right now I'm trying to figure out this family tree - Waay confusing.

Let me make sure I'm correct on the ages, though, as of April 1992.

Ray-Ray and Devlin are 22. Shawn is 21. Timmy and Christopher are 20. Chuck 19. Thomas and Christian are 18. Eric is 16. Right?

Something like that.

I think.

I keep thinking of them at their Heaven & Earth ages. Very confusing.

Does Heaven and Earth take places before or after Stumble?

Ray-Ray is the oldest. He is Angela's and Ray's oldest son. Devlin is a few months younger. He is Dawn's and Ray's only son.

We have a little backstory for that - it may come out in Heaven and Earth since Shawn is featured in that.

Yeah, lots of Shawn in H&E. I like the way he turned out. And where he grew up will likely be addressed.

Haha ... I liked Player!Shawn in this last chapter. I like to think that he would have gone home with those girls if he hadn't had to chase after Christian.

SO weird, because I had made one of these to post!

Yours is close - a few dates are off and Moira should be Myra.

I'll attach mine.

Nicole is 15?! Oh, wait, right, 16 and Devlin's turning 23. Wow, he really is a cradle robber. Somehow Myra became more Jewish in mine lol.

I somehow KNEW you would have one of these lol ... which looks a lot more organized, btw. I had to line mine up by the kids just sos I wouldn't forget who was older than who, and it makes Dawn's uterus look as widely ranged as Rays dangly bits, which is just not so.

OMG I'm so slow ... that line connecting Shawn and Christian confused me for like five minutes before I realized that it's because they're cousins and not because they're incestuous lovers.

This is killing me.

I want to read it so badly, but I'm grounded from my computer at home, and school has a blocker against FF.net.

Another chapter, another asskicking.

Also, Ruby and Devlin finally "talk" now that she knows he's dating her daughter.

Oh, and Devlin does a little self-reflection and angsting.
