[GO] Sick fathers
Wasn't Mr Atherton in HGD another PTSD-esque sufferer? I think traditionally it's been more likely for mothers to be sick because that can be romantic (within the genre!), and it's OK for a woman to be ill on a couch, but men (even when they're absent father types) have to be manly and well and capable of supporting their families. I think when fathers are ill in books it uually follows that the family is in financial crisis because the man of the house can't support them - isn't that why Gwen has to go back home in MT?

[GO] Buffy Jonathan Patrick
I recently bought a whole load of Buffy DVDs, including series 2 and 3, which I haven't really seen since they were originally on BBC2, and I was surprised at how often Jonathan was actually around. Yes, he was only a proper character in the eps already mentioned, but he's actually floating around having the occasional line in quite a number of eps. But then, he's such a sweetie! Returning to someone's point about the similarities between Angel and Patrick, having just read *Peter's Room* (which I absolutely loved) I thought it was really interesting to read about Patrick's views on courage etc, and how he thought ?Rupert would give in to the threat of torture. Are there any other books in which AF further explores this 'moral ambiguity'?

[GO] Ah, I love the smell of controversy in the morning...
Not that this whole Bush-liberals-grr-tra-la-la thing isn't hugely amusing, but, speaking as one lone GOer, can't people give it a rest? It's not even debate anymore, it's just people ranting at each other.

Re: [GO] The dim and distant past - Chaletopia
I seem to recall it being mentioned in one of the 1998 FOCS journals - couldn't tell you which, though!

If you can, please let me have your best guesses - I know it was before 1999 from entries in the old NCC guestbook.

Re: [GO] A Chalet Girl in Trouble
I don't think Lisa_T's done anything else that's on the Sally Denny Library (though there may be more in the Cookies Drabbles thread of the CBB), but GGBP are publishing a filler-in that's she's written - not sure of the exact details, though. Liss Catriona Rochford [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/11/04 Just read this story and wow, I'm really impressed! I don't normally read fanfics much, because I often find the style doesn't match up well, but that one read like a true Chalet story, and covered the more modern issues incredibly well. I think I'll look and see if the author's written any other fanfics, because that is one of the best I've seen (and I include the filler books in that!) Catriona R.
