Wow...that was thorough. I think ghostdiva said everything that I was thinking, but couldn't get typed because I probably would have messed it up somewhere. Fireworks!! I wanna see a fight. I don't mean one punch. I mean no holds bar fight with a ring and a mud pit. (Yes...I said mud pit. I'm a silly person.) And I wanna referee. (Okay. That might be pushing it. ) Anyway, good luck with your other stories. I hope you didn't pick the obvious woman for Ray, Fritz. I thought about that for a bit and I decided that wouldn't be as fun if you did.

I know who it is too... unless I'm having one of my memory disasters. Briana, by "the obvious woman", do you mean Elaine Fuhrman (sp?)? I saw the ep with her in it recently (I think I even made a reference to the bunny costume in "Dreams Reborn"). I cannot stand that bloody woman! Ok, I've just checked that post through. I honestly think it's totally devoid of clues. Ghostdiva, I have two stories that need getting underway right after I've written the last 1000 words of the last of the assignments I should have done over the Christmas break. But I like your idea - you can expect a PM from me either when I've got one of those stories finished or when I feel inspired - it probably won't be long but I wouldn't want to put a figure on it. I'm making this one public so Fritz can see it: I'd just feel wrong writing an E/J-based fic without at least having him as a consultant, but I usually send my stories to him anyway for checking so that's cool.

I used to think I did like Elaine, but than I thought about it as I rewatched "Look Homeward, Ray". (*sigh* Ray looks so cute wearing his bunny suit and his uniform. I have a pic of that somewhere, but that's not the point here...) She's not the person for him. She seems way to obsessive and stuff. The photo album, following him to the house in the middle of the night, trying to be nice when he's wearing the bunny suit. I don't think she's really interested in him. I think it's the title and what he stands for. I tried once writing a fic where they got back together, but I ended up majorly changing it. I made it out to seem she was there for her own gain. That once she married Ray, Elaine would totally take over his life. And in my fic she ruined the relationship Ray and my character had. (Not me...a character I created. Still needs some work, but I like her well enough.) Overall, Elaine now falls on the list of RGB characters I hate with a passion and that includes the Junior Ghostbusters and Prof. Dweeb. It's a short list to begin with, but if I had the inspiration I might just write a fic to kill them all.

For me, Elaine bounced onto the screen with a stupid grin slapped across her face, and I thought: Argh - what a DITZ! Throughout the course of the episode she made me increasingly nauseous.

Why do I keep rereading the proposal scene? (My only problem- HE should have put the ring on her finger, not her!) And I loved Egon's soul-baring to the others about how HE felt about what had happened. Boy, would I like to be a fly on the wall at TEXTthatTEXT batchelor party!

Another question, based on my millionth reading- whose marriage license was the one flagged on Egon's computer that drove him nuts? Janine and Louis...or one Egon had gotten for him and Janine that might have brought back some intense emotion?

That answer will be forthcoming. I promise.

YAY! And in regards to what I mentioned over on GBHQ, I am really serious and really interested. And my friends at work think my license plate frame is SO cool! Poor Hamtaro... My son saw SW last night. His verdict: "F'in AWESOME!!!"

Am I the only who seem to enjoy her?and I'm getting really tired of this bashing And she is one of my favorite RGB minor charaters and I decided to use her in my stories in a good way and they got back together in my Summer Love story and then getting married and having CJ and Jules (they are their twins that I created in my stories). . After I watched Lookhome Ray plenty of times and I wanted to do more with them. . I'm putting mytwo cents in here. [

Well, if I didn't make it clear, I didn't have anything against her... The "problem" has to do with them only using her once, in a very early episode. Taken as a whole, it doesn't create a strong impression of Ray and Elaine as a continuing couple. Venkman and Dana are in both movies. Egon and Janine are in the first movie and all through both animated series. Winston's girlfriend is almost totally "off camera" and undefined, leaving room to make her whoever the writer wants (which, in the GBIOT fan fics, Brian Reilly did) Having Ray and Elaine as a couple is entirely valid, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. EDIT: And interestingly enough, this was the next thread to bump, and you did it for me

Thank you Fritz! I feel much better now. I really enjoy doing the R/E pairing. And you read my story called, Ghost Bride Obession part 2: Lorraine's Revenge, Fritz?

Afterward I watched more of Look Homeward Ray, I decided to wrote more of this pairing and I didn't want to create a mary sue love interest for Ray since Mary Sues are frowned up. So I did my own verison of Elaine and it came out great I'm going to keep on writing more of this paring and I always thought she was good for Ray. So I wanted to be diffrent and of course Egon and Janine are dating my fics.

I would just like to say that I absolutely love this story. ;D On the whole it was great, but naturally my favourite part was the proposal. I nearly cried tears of joy when I read it and I couldn't stop grinning. lol I also got a real kick out of Egon's reaction, especially the whoop of joy. I'm picturing it in my mind and am quite enjoying what I see. I think my head'll explode with joy when the wedding story is written.
