I'm so thankful for the terrific British publishers in this fandom; they keep things in print for years, and at very reasonable prices.

I remember that, from my days of wanting everything "NOW!thank you" when I first found the Pros. Hats off to those publishers!

I tend to prefer Pros tales set in the UK. I did like them being older, I thought she handled that nicely.

Oh, I see. Fair enough. At the time I first read (and reread!) the novel, I liked the fact the physical move added to the partners' sense of being isolated and abandoned. Plus, I really appreciate when authors paint three-dimensional Native American characters and cultures with respect and attention, as I believe M.W. did. But I can see how transplanting The Lads did significantly change the feel of the story. Good point. I'm glad you liked how she aged them, too. I have a feeling that's a running undercurrent among my preferred fanfic, especially in universes that are a few years (or decades!) old. It's such an intriguing idea, playing with how characters would age/grow/change, and what it means for their way of life.

And I'm sorry I haven't updated my Pros recs page in forever -- that's in process, but I'm hideously slow.

Oh, good heavens, but you've already done so much! Plus, speading out your updates means there's good stuff left to look forward to after I've gone back over what you've already posted. :) I'm grateful.
