"Evangeline" is now on Wattpad

I have taken a bold step (at least for me) and I've started posting my story to Wattpad. For those of you who don't know, Wattpad is a public site for authors to post their work. There are thousands of new stories posted everyday. I am asking all of my readers to please go to http://www.wattpad.com/3097014-evangeline-~-a-hannibal-heyes-love-story and become a member. It only takes about five minutes. Then vote for the chapters you like best, or you can vote for them all if you like. And become my fan. My user name, so no one is confused, is "sleepswithroses."

Since most of the readers on the Wattpad site have no clue what "Alias Smith and Jones" is, I used the shows intro as a sort of back story at the beginning of the prologue. And I've made a few minor edits and changes to some of the chapters as well. I thought this was a great opportunity to make some new fans of the story and of the show. And don't worry, nothing about the blog will change. I look forward to seeing you all on Wattpad! Don't forget...."like" "vote" "fan." Thanks everybody for reading!

Peace and love,
Karen :')

It looks great, Karen. I'm still trying to figure out how the site works, but I'm so glad its up there! I've never heard of Wattpad, but it looks like your story being there will bring more fans to the show and to your wonderful work. :')

Yes Karen, it looks great. I am also still trying to figure out how to use the site. I like this story so much I have started reading it over from the beginning. Can't wait for chapter 29 though. Good work.:')

If you have any questions about how to use he site, just shoot them at me. I might be able to help. I will explain this part though. If you click "like" it just posts the title to your facebook page and says that you like it. If you click "vote" you are letting everyone know that you think this particular story or chapter was exceptional. They have the Watty awards every year and stories with the most votes are in the finals where readers vote again for their favorites in different categories. I don't expect to win any awards, but it would be nice to get a few votes. There are published authors on this site. I've read some of their work and it is outstanding. And if you want to become my fan you have to go to my profile and it will say "become a fan" somewhere on there and you click that. Glenda, you were my first vote. Thank you. But I think you became a fan of someone who was already my fan. LOL You may have to go back and try that again. Remember my user name is "sleepswithroses." Thanks you guys for reading a being so supportive. It means the world to me.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog. It is entirely dedicated to my fanfiction story about Hannibal Heyes finding a true love. Everything here is somehow AS&J related. If you're an "Alias Smith and Jones" Fan, everything on my blog is familiar to you. If you're not a fan or you've never heard of "Alias Smith and Jones" or Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry, I hope visiting my blog will introduce you to them and make you a fan. And just to let everyone know, while I adore the show and both characters my loyalty always has and always will lie with Pete Duel's Hannibal Heyes. I have always been and will always be an unapologetic, faithful, unwavering, die hard fan of Pete's and his character.

Karen's Favorites ~ My Favorite AS&J Episodes and why

Here's a list of my top 10 favorite episodes and one of the things about each one that makes it a favorite. I have added more than one for the top three. I could probably make a whole other blog about why I love my top 3. But I'll try to keep it short here.

10. "The Pilot" The "Walk off" scene is exquisite.

9. "Journey from San Juan" Heyes is unwaiveringly adorable throughout. "Captain McRavish"

8. "Stagecoach 7" Heyes shoots his gun! (and if you watch really close, he gets his shots off a whole lot quicker than Kid)

7. "Wrong Train to Brimstone" The synchronized hoist up into the train car. And Pete looks fabulous in this one.

6. "Jailbreak at Junction City" "...somethin' smells around here." "Maybe the way you play poker."

5. "Smiler With a Gun" The boys collapsing onto each other in exhaustion - fantastic acting.

4. "The Day They Hanged Kid Curry" I can't pick just one moment. I think the whole episode is hilarious.

3. "The Reformation of Harry Briscoe" Lots of Heyes on horseback. The chaps. "If either of you boys would care to join us in the fellowship of evening prayer..." and the entire scene that follows. "Mr. Smiff." Shoshone. Heyes defends a woman! "It's Smith sweetheart." "I get terrible claustrophobee!"

The dive behind the bush. Kid takes four hits before losing at blackjack.

2. "The Bounty Hunter" Lots of Heyes on horseback. The chaps....oh, God the chaps. The bear hug. From "Heyes, look what's goin' on down there." to "Let's not make it a habit" is perfection. Especially getting to see Heyes use his gun. "Wait 'til I tell you. Alright, get down." Heyes' entire story about the mayor's daughter and the church suits and the wedding cake...absolutely perfect and hilarious. Heyes and Kid's explanation as to why it's inconceivable that they could be the notorious outlaws. The boys are willing to risk their own necks to report the injustice of what happens to Joe.

1. "The Posse That Wouldn't Quit" Lots of Heyes on horseback. Heyes in his undies. Heyes sings. The Kid shows off his nice butt and his shooting skill. The horse race to the picnic spot. The girls and their crushes. The love that grows between our boys and this family. "Did you have an Apache with you?" "Must be the entire devil's hole gang." "Hang little girls." The Kid looses yet another coin toss. The only time we ever hear Kids full name "Jedediah Curry. Shoshone and Carroll. Heyes in disguise as an unruly drunk. And OMG, when he says "Don't move a hair boys," his voice is so deep and sexy I can hardly take it.

"I got rid of my mustache, why don't you get rid of yours?" Heyes tosses his tattered old hat into the air and it lands on the street as they speed off into the next episode. The only thing that could have made this episode better would have been the boys wearing chaps and Heyes shooting his Smith and Wesson.
