I appreciate your comments but there was a comment that confused me and slightly bothered me. is a place to write FANFICTIONS about movies, tv shows, books, and more. Fanfiction is a fiction written by fans of a TV series, movie, etc., using existing characters and situations to develop new plots. If I were to write this story EXACTLY how the show plays them then I would be writing a tv show script of something most if not all of us have already seen… that makes no sense. Chester may have been the original character in the episode of when Kitty became half owner of the Long Branch and I love Chester but I love Festus and Quint more so, in this universe they were here during the great news. I think we all know Matt didn't drink a lot and he still does not, it was a one time thing. Maybe I didn't explain clearly enough but I will. Matt getting drunk that night was my way of showing my readers that hiding his relationship with Kitty from the town was a hard thing to do. He wanted to kiss her and show her how proud he really was but he couldn't. I actually thought I made this really clear but I guess not. Carly is an old flame, he was young man when he was with Carly. Carly wanted marriage and money. Matt didn't have much money being a marshal but marrying her was something he could do. She did not want a marriage with a man who lacked the $$$ so, she rejected him and left to find "better". Him telling Kitty was my way of letting you all and Kitty know that he did want to marry her but not ONLY does he fear putting her in danger but he feared being rejected. Of course he knows Kitty loves him but that's what Carly claimed too. So, what I am saying is he has baggage and he's human. Now onto another thing said. Um...Ms. and Miss sounds the same to me so if you're wondering why I said Ms. that's why. Many people had referred to Kitty as Miss Kitty but that's my fault I should have said Miss instead of Ms. It's a bit hard to write in their time. Sorry about that. I don't mean to offend anyone but I hope I clarified any questions. Don't think too hard just enjoy. I felt like I needed to address this before I put another chapter out. Another chapter should be out in a few hours. I love reading your comments so keep them coming. I love reading the way you all process things and what you all are looking forward to. Hope you are enjoying your day until next time. :)
