Evangeline ~ A Hannibal Heyes Love Story

Sunday, April 10, 2011

Before I post the first chapter of my story I feel compelled to say a few things first. Most importantly I want to thank Peter Deuel for being the wonderful person and the gifted actor that he was. Without his genius and magnificent character, Hannibal Heyes, I would have no story. So, thank you, Peter. You will forever remain the love of my life, even though I was only 4 years old when you left this world.

Second I would just like to say that it is a very difficult thing to share a story you have authored with any one else. It is such a personal and intimate thing. It's like putting your deepest secrets and fantasies out there for everyone to read. I never realized what a hard job novelist have. To have something that your mind and spirit have labored over and given birth to, be exposed for the world to see and criticize is not an easy thing to do. But if it is not shared then no one can see its beauty either.

Third, I would just like to say that this is my first attempt at writing anything. I am not a writer. I am just a fan. I love these characters and because of the untimely and tragic death of Peter, I (like many other fans I'm sure) feel that I was cheated somehow out of so many more stories. I want more. And so it is left to us, the fans, to continue the stories. My hats off to the many talented fan fiction authors out there whose stories I have read. You all amaze me. I hope my story turns out half as good. I have been working on it for about six months and it is becoming quite long. But it had to be long in order to tell the complete story and give my characters time to develop. I just hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it (and am still writing). Again I would like to say that I am not a writer and this is all new to me. I am just a fan with a story I want to share.

And last, I would like to encourage you to listen to the soundtrack music I have picked for the story. Many of the events in the story bring to mind a song. And I will add the title of the song and a web address where you can go to YouTube and watch a video of the song. And please keep in mind that while this is an AS&J fanfic, it is a romance. So the music is somewhat romantic as well.

I look forward to your comments.
God's blessings and much love to you all, Karen.

P.S. Before you read chapter 1, please read the prologue. You can find it in the March archives.

I love the story. The way that you detail the different scenes it makes you feel the emotions so much more.

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.
