I am really enjoying that the series is Old West and from the different points of view. It's quite an undertaking but one that you are doing so well! I agree that Josiah and Nathan can be difficult which might be why fics with them might be a little hard to find so it's great to hear they each get to have their "say" and I thought it was very much in character for Josiah to (kind of) patiently try to figure things out before finally driven to the point where he had to ask what was going on.

At first when I saw the Ezra/JD, I had a hard time seeing it, but, I am open to any pairing and with the mutual comfort angle, it was quite believable. Chris/Ezra I have been open to for a long time and recently, in screencapping Ghosts of the Confederacy, I noticed (for the first time, how blind could I be?) Chris's hand on Ezra's chest when he warns Ezra never to run out on him again. "Him" not "them". So that pairing, I could definitely see.

And I do dearly love Vin's little observant self. :D

Looking forward to the next chapter.

Thanks! You've got to write fic with Nathan and Josiah - Chris, Vin, and Ezra seem to get all the attention in fandom (And fair enough, since they are so clearly made of awesome)

I'm not sure why I decided to write E/JD *shrugs* But it worked within the fic, so I'm just going to go with it.

Wait wait wait, back up a minute. I never noticed that! I mean, I know it's 'never run out on me again', but the hand on the chest is news to me! *runs off to rewatch Ghosts of the Confederacy

I'm sorry I didn't know how else to show you the picture so I posted it in my LJ if you ever want to have a look at it. It's very intriguing!

The thing I find hard about Nathan is that he seems to speak mostly in sentence fragments which is kind of hard to write unless you turn off that little interior editor which tries to make them into complete sentences. Josiah is very philosophical but there's a lot of chaff with his grain. That's why I find the two of them difficult. :D

I liked the E/JD because it seemed pretty believable to me in your fic. Sometimes people do find some solace in loving the one you're with if you can't be with the one you love as the song says.

Hmm, I think I'll go have a look at that pic...

I find it easiest to write characters who have strong accents, oddly enough. Or characters whose accents I can mimic. In Mag7, for example, I find Vin and Ezra easiest to write.

You're so lucky in that. I really love Ezra but I find I'm never satisfied with how he speaks when I write him. He's so complicated too, making him just a little more difficult than some of the other characters. Then again, I might just be distracted by the expressive clear green eyes that Anthony Starke uses so well. *grin*

[the_summoning_d]

Oh, I know the feeling. I've lost count of the times I've been distracted by Anthony Starke...or Eric Close...or Michael Biehn...to pay any attention to anything else. I mean, I've watched Inmate 78 a dozen times, and every damn time I'm too busy drooling over Chris shirtless and handcuffed to the bed to hear a word the prison doctor's saying.

Like I said, it's just because I can mimic the accent. I had to read Blanche DuBois when my English class did A Streetcar Named Desire, and I've never quite shaken the southern accent.
