Evangeline ~ A Hannibal Heyes Love Story: SKE

What happened to my sketches?

When I first started this blog I knew I wanted to include photos, to make the story more vivid and to give the readers a good visual reference for the characters' moods and expressions. Then I discovered an app on facebook called "SKETCH MY PHOTO." It turned any photo you uploaded into this lovely sketch. I decided to use them in my blog because they just seemed to have that old west feel to them. Some to the photos turned out too dark when sketched so I just used the actual photo, but all the rest I intended to make into sketches. Well, wouldn't you know it. I went to make sketches for chapter 8 and the app is gone from facebook, along with all the sketches that were saved to my profile's photo albums. I had a major "WHAT THE HECK!" moment. I have tried to find another app that makes sketches that look as nice as the other ones, but have not been successful. So I'm just going to add the actual photos for the rest of the chapters. I just thought somebody may have been wondering why I stopped using the sketches. If any one knows of a good app to make sketches out of photos, for free of course, please email me with the link.

Much love and God's blessings,

Karen

So beautiful. *sigh*

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.
