EnosIsMyHero

Hey everyone One of my passions is creating fanvids, but it's been a while since I've had time to work on any (that and apparently Powerdirector doesn't like my .avi's so I had to convert them all to mp4's first ). Anywho, here's a fanvid I've been wanting to do for a long, long time. This song just screamed "Enos" to me the first time I heard it. This can be found on YouTube here: or if YT gets cranky and takes it down, it can be found here permanently: http://www.divshare.com/download/15620665-b07

The next part of the Story of Us is up - Part IV. Sorry for the long wait! Link to Part IV ------> "The Story of Us"

Chapter 3 of Part III is up. Link to Chapter 3 (part III) ------> "The Story of Us"

I know i1976 was talking about last year how no one seems to be talking about Enos on here. I agree. We need MORE ENOS! So...I'm proud and pleased as punch to introduce: The Enos Strate Appreciation Foundation forum on fanfiction.net. Now, I know there are a couple other forums on ff.net for Enos/Daisy, etc., but they all seem to be dead. Since I'm a fanfic addict, and I'm always on there, I thought maybe I'd try my hand at one. Plus, y'all know how much I love Enos, right? Okay, so some of ya' do. I think you might have to log in to join the forum, but you can read it without. Although, the more posts, the better the forum will be...so don't be a lurker! Anyone who's logged in can start a thread, just so it has something at least vaguely to do with him. This is a forum for Enos lovers, not "my" forum so if there's something you want to talk about or questions, etc., post it. Also, there's a place to link your own fanfic here (as long as Enos is at least a main supporting character). I know there's not too much out there, so ya' know, beggars can't be choosers as far as the fanfic being exclusively about Enos, or him and Daisy, or him and ?. (Make sure you read the first post about posting a link not on ff.net. Outside links aren't supported, so you'll need to put it in quotation marks without the http to get around that.) See you there

Chapter 2 of Part III is up. Link to Chapter 2 (part III) ------> "The Story of Us" Also, the Visual guide has been updated. The link is HERE.

Part III, Chapter 1 is up on "The Story of Us". This is such an emotional story for me, as you'll learn why at the end of the 2nd chapter. I really want to do it justice, so instead of slamming it all together, I'm going to go ahead and release it in 2 chapters. This way I won't be in such a hurry to rush through the second part of it. Part III, Chapter 1 - After his father has a close call with the law, fifteen year old Enos wonders if living life on the straight and narrow is really a good idea, after all. Link to Part III, Chapter 1 ---> "The Story of Us"

Here's Part II of 'The Story of Us'. As before, this chapter is also a stand-alone story and can be read by itself as well as part of the back story for the fanfic "Beneath a Hazzard Moon". You'll notice it's quite a bit longer than a normal fanfic chapter, sorry it took so long! In part II, Enos is 13 and Daisy 11. After a chance encounter with the Beaudrys, Enos and Daisy struggle to find their way back home. Link to Part II -----> "The Story of Us"

I know this thread is old, but I like it I do the playlist for each story, too, and then I usually put it on my USB drive and listen to it in the car (and drive my hubby nuts 'cause he wants to know why I keep listening to the same songs over and over again, and I'd never live it down if I told him I was listening to my fanfic playlist, lol). I have a pretty wide range of music I listen to and most of the time a certain song will fit with a certain chapter or theme in the story, not necessarily the entire fanfic. For my fanfic "Beneath a Hazzard Moon", the songs I listened to the most were: Body Parts - Plain White T's I will write you a song - Plain White T's In My Time of Need - Opeth Hope Leaves - Opeth Rainy Night in Georgia - Brooke Benton I will Remember You - Sarah McLachlan What About Now? - Chris Daughtry Seven Bridges Road - Eagles Country Roads - John Denver Breathe Into Me - Red When You Were Mine - Saigon Kick For my fanfic, "The Story of Us", they are: When You're Next to Me - from "A Mighty Wind" Someday Never Comes - CCR Edge of Seventeen - Stevie Nicks Home - Chris Daughtry Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd Good-bye - Night Ranger Silver Road - Sarah Harmer The Other Side of the Door - Taylor Swift Death Whispered a Lullaby- Opeth And, of course, since both stories are Enos/Daisy stories I can't leave out "Dear Daisy" and "Back in Hazzard" by Sonny Shroyer.

I usually write out a summary of what I want to happen in the story, sort of "Okay, well so and so's going to do this, then this is gonna happen. Want to put this in somehow...yada yada..." Then I go back and read it after I finish my story and it's usually totally different, lol. That said, my worst mistake has been actually finishing my hugely long fanfic before I finished writing the backstory for it. It's kind of anti-climactic for me now (and everyone reading it, I fear) I should have waited to publish the ending on the first until after I'd published the back-story.

This is awesome! Thanks for your hard work. Such a help for my fanfic, too, knowing exactly where everything is in relation to each other.

Just a note that Part 1 of "The Story of Us" has been published! If you ever wanted to read about all those little bits I put into "Beneath a Hazzard Moon" about Daisy and Enos growing up, this series is where you'll find them. I changed my mind about how I'm doing it. I'm just going to put each part up as separate parts on FF.net, that way I can put up the description of each individual story, not just "a collection of stories", lol. Part 1 begins when Enos is 10 and Daisy is 8. You can find the link to it in the "Fanfic Announcements" section here.

I don't know who Vector 426 on FF.net is on here, but in the hopes that they'll see it or someone knows who they are, I just wanted to thank them for their reviews and send them a reply. I didn't grow up in the hills, but before writing these stories I did a ton of research into the moon-shining way of life. My dad was older (50) when I was born, but we were really close so I always felt like I belonged in a way to the generation before mine. He was a civil engineer and his company designed most of the water systems in rural Arkansas. Sometimes when I was a kid, he would take me along to the town meetings and then later I worked summer jobs at his office. My dad was one of those people who could talk to anyone, and he took the time to actually listen to people - whether they were an executive or a back-woods moon-shiner. The character of Otis Strate is sort of loosely based on him. He taught me a lot about how everyone has a story and everyone is important, no matter how much they make or what their job is. Again, thanks so much for your encouragement

If you want more chapters, please review on FF.net...

Thanks! Well, you'll kind of have to infer some things since the next chapter starts when Enos is 13 and Daisy's 11. Those things might come up later, though.

First, I want to thank everyone here for their encouragement on my fic "Beneath a Hazzard Moon". It's because of all your wonderful reviews and support that I decided to write the back-story down that I used while writing that novella. This fanfiction, "The Story of Us", is a collection of vignettes - following certain events in the lives of Enos and Daisy while growing up. Each chapter begins a new story and can be read as stand-alone stories without having read "Beneath a Hazzard Moon" - in fact, it would probably be best to read at least the first chapter of the back-story before you do. This first chapter follows mainly ten year old Enos's POV, but the other chapters will focus more on the two together. Chapter 1 - Justice Life is hard in the back hills of northwestern Hazzard County where moonshining is a way of life. When 10 year old Enos's aunt goes missing, he believes he holds the key to her discovery - but telling the truth isn't always easy.

That's right...It's finally complete!! Thanks to everyone for all your encouragement! For those looking for more: I'll be posting the first vignettes in the back-story that I made up and used for this one very soon. It looks like it will be titled "The Story of Us" unless I come up with something more creative by then. I'll be posting the link to HazzardNet when it's up. Without further ado ------>Chapter 21 "Beneath a Hazzard Moon"

Just a little 'thank-you' to everyone here who's been reading this and reviewing for me. Y'all are so encouraging. This is the first fanfic I've written where there's actually a decent sized fan-base. My other novel-length fanfics are both for "Drop Dead Fred" and that's about as obscure a fandom as you can get. I also just wanted to mention here, like I did in the author notes on the last chapter, I'm planning on writing a sort of prequel to this story. It's been so fun making up the backstory between Enos and Daisy, that I feel like I should write it down. It just keeps growing in my mind.

Chapter 20 is up! Thanks to everyone for their patience Link to Chapter 20 ---> "Beneath a Hazzard Moon"

Chapter 19 is up! Sorry for the wait Link to Chapter 19 ---> "Beneath a Hazzard Moon" Like my new profile pic?

Chapter 18 is Up! Link to Ch. 18 ----->"Beneath a Hazzard Moon"

Hey Marilyn, I didn't even know you had a challenge out about what my story is about. I know you've been on FF.net, but in case anyone else is wanting to read something that deals with at least the Daisy/Enos part of the challenge, that's what "Beneath a Hazzard Moon" is about. (You can find the link in the Fanfic Annoucements section) It's set 4 years after the series ended with Daisy having have been married to LD and Enos is in LA, and mostly deals with the reasons behind what happened between them and the subsequent fallout...along with a murder mystery.

Chapter 17 is Up! Link to Ch. 17 ----->"Beneath a Hazzard Moon" Okay, here's th' deal... FF.net occasionally really stinks, especially when they're updating stuff. The traffic section has been down since last Wednesday, so even if 50 people read this chapter, to me it looks like a big fat "0". So, please review on FF.net. It is logging reviews. Thanks!

I really feel like I have to put my 2 cents in here as well as per the Reunion movie (might be up to a dime here now! LOL). I, too, have mixed feelings about the 1st movie (I watched about 20 minutes of the Hollywood one and turned it off, sorry, I just couldn't handle that one) On one hand, I can understand about the guys persuing other occupations and I loved it that Luke was a smoke-jumper instead of having anything to do with racing. Daisy on the other hand, I thought for the most part was not well written at all. Whether it was Gy doing the writing or someone else had a hand in it, I feel her character was the one who suffered the most in terms of continuity and personality. To me, she's not the same Daisy that we knew in the series (and I'm not taking anything from Cathy herself, hey you read what they write for you). I have to admit, I'm one of those huge Enos/Daisy fans and therein is the crux of my problem with the whole movie. At the end of the series, you're left thinking that they might actually get married someday. When we see them again, Daisy's been married to some drifter named L.D. and Enos is in LA (when it was made abundantly clear in the series that he was finished with LA and would rather be in Hazzard). And my first reaction to all of that is - WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED HERE??? (which is what my novella "Beneath a Hazzard Moon" is all about - you can find a link in the fanfic section <---shameless plug) Even though half of the movie is about them getting hitched (not), the chemistry that they had in the 6th and 7th seasons is gone. Now, what I liked about the movie...I did like Rosco. The part with him talking to the picture of Boss was the highlight of the movie and still makes me tear up. I loved how he snookered Mama Jo in the end. I thought after all Rosco had been through, it was fitting that he'd finally be on the winning end. Okay, I think that's about all I have to say

Chapter 16 is up! Link to Chapter ---->"Beneath a Hazzard Moon" There is a Playlist up now on my profile page.
