Great chapter! Really clever how you made Baby Eddie into "Eddie the Baby"...I immediately thought 'Billy the kid' like you said. I'm impressed by how much you know about 1870s Texas and you're so good at replicating the atmosphere of skeevy bars/saloons. You write low society (like in this parlor) just as well as you write high society (Eustace being a spoiled rich boy at his fancy hotel). Also props for using the word 'hussy' and 'buxom', which are so funny. 

 

This story needs more reviews!

Blix found Eddie at the Blackjack table. The gambler was ensconced in wads of cash, cufflinks, and pocket watches, and he tapped his finger absently as the dealer distributed the next hand. 

 

I love the word ensconced. I don't think it gets used enough in the English language.

 

For the first time since their conversation began, Eddie turned around to look at the butler. “Jimmy's in Texas? Christ Almighty. Wonder why he moved all the way out here...maybe thought he could ruin my life some more, the swell-headed prick.”

Yet another backstory I would love to hear, but will probably never get the chance to read.. Why must you create such rich tapestry of characters yet not explain everything about them?!!? (J/K! If we knew everyone's backstory there would be too much story to tell.)

Actually we will get that backstory...or an abbreviated version of it, at least. We will also get Eustace's past association with the Jimster, Libby's backstory, Tex's backstory, AND more of the Sheriff's...

 

All explained in brief, of course. AND WITHOUT THE USE OF FLASHBACKS *prepares for dialogue writing challenge*

(((((hugs))))) Teehee, you caught me. Here I am. Since I got home my computer privileges have been severely restricted. I try to catch up with everyone but I never seem to have the time ^.^;

 

Anyway the story is coming along fantastically! I adore every single chapter, it draws me in and Tex and the Sheriff's relationship is so captivating. You write every character so well! Keep up the good work, I guess?

OH BABY

 

Oh, and in response to your comment on ff.net: I didn't expect Eddie to be in the fic either It just sort of...happened.
I decided to make him a ladies man for two reasons: 1) Baby Eddie makes passes at Beautiful Gorgeous all throughout League of Villains, and 2) in GBW he's a young teen trying to make it in a hyper-masculine adult world, so he'd need to go a bit overboard with macho activities to be taken seriously as a "man".

Most things we all think are amazing and planned out happen that way. ;P

Just like with Jo and her Harry Potter series. I mean, it was pretty impressive how she planned it all.

Personally, I believe Eddie was an awesome turn. I'm interested to see how this shiz is gonna go down~

[Mara=^.^=]

We'll find out together. I'm making this up as I go
