Never fear. There are stories always being written. We waited until we had all of season one done before I started publishing them so that we could go over them as a whole and make sure there was decent continuity (something the editors of the original show never did, I gather). As soon as I started putting them on Fanfic, I started writing season 2. My goal was to do one episode a week so that by the time I had published all of season 1, season 2 would be ready to go. But the one a week thing has turned into one every week and a half and then we will still want to look at season 2 as a whole. So there will be a hiatus between seasons, just like the show. Maybe absence will make the heart grow fonder...

whoo hooo!!! Time for Morley’s vignettes! I look forward to these as my little rewards for when I get things done I’m not looking forward to doing! lol! Anyway.. here’s iwsod’s walk through Morley’s vignettes! rofl! I’m up to Dead Ringer.. scotch thoughts- haaa I can just imagine Amanda giving Lee advice on how to cure his cold! good one! ‘enjoying their freedom and their microwave’- rofl!!! deadpan Morley.. too funny I love it! whooo I like Lee questioning what it was like to spend so much time in Amanda’s home Haaaa he remembers Amanda fixing his tie so he downs the scotch? priceless! I soooo agree! that cold of his let down his defenses.. he was totally flirting with her! I agree Morley! How did Lee know Amanda told Magda he had beautiful eyes? It’s good that Lee is so cautious with Amanda.. and a measure of how he views her differently ‘Amanda’s very special’ as he says in Over the Limit! Awh.. he was dreaming Amanda was taking care of him? sweet! Nice ending!! Window reflections- Very ironic indeed! [Amanda wanting to this time come home early] Heck yeah! Lee totally should have mentioned the resemblance. for me that was all a big plot crater! Yeah! I can’t understand why Lee felt he needed to tell Amanda it wasn’t a date! whwhahaaaaa.. Awh.. I always enjoy Morley when you have both Lee and Amanda stewing over the same thing.. this time: Amanda fixing Lee’s tie so naturally Amanda’s right to be concerned.. she’ll need to be careful with her heart around Lee Stetson! Oh another fabulous ending!!! these things could go on for hours.. trance!!!!! well done Morley!! I’ll try and get back for the Mole as a reward in the next few days! Lovin these!!! byeee!

Yay! Another walk with Iwsod! I am glad you saw the flirting too. Not everyone sees it that way I gather. And, Oh yes, Amanda taking car of Lee in that blue dress that seems to be completely missing a back. I am sure Lee noticed that. Amanda doesn't have a handle of the trances yet... Weekend is coming soon. I have got to get cracking on the rest of season 2, otherwise there will be a long break between seasons. But between my dance schedule and BJo's crazy schedule now, we are not moving at our old pace. Working on Spider Web right now. Funny to be focusing on 3 seasons at once. Reliving these with you as you walk through them, middle of season 2 while writing and early season 3 on the blog. What a great confusing dilemma to have ;)It does highlight the growth though. Looking forward to your comments on Mole

Thanks so much Morley for writing these little vignettes. They are so great. This time I especially liked the window reflections, they were giving so much insight. Amanda seemed always so unaffected by this little scene in the car and now with these additional insight also the upcoming episodes and her behavior making so much more sense. It is like finding a missing puzzle piece. Can’t wait until next Monday ….

Another WOW this week. I just sooo enjoyed reading these thoughts on such moments. You've done a good job disecting the reactions in this one. Thanks.

I really liked your last pair Morley. I wanted to leave a review but I forgot my FF.net password and I'm not on my computer where it's autosaved. I honestly didn't agree with the one reviewer that said you where getting ahead of Lee's feelings. I actually think Lee started having feelings for Amanda early on, but he subconsciously or maybe even consciously tried to bury them by protesting having to work with her. He had what was certainly a shocked reaction when he kissed her the first time. He probably didn't expect to feel anything. From SAAB on, whenever she was with another guy he got jealous. He was so tender with her when he didn't think anyone was looking. Hubby and I had a discussion about it from a man's point of view and he thought Lee was acting thoroughly hooked but in complete denial. If they had built that kind of relationship in S1, Lee would have been getting the better deal. He wasn't exactly great husband material at that time. I think Lee was too afraid of commitment at that point to take a chance, even if he did admit his feelings to himself. He even says he'd been in love with her for a long time when he finally comes around. To me, "a long time" isn't just a few months. Amanda's initial response to Lee was more like hero worship, which she got over by the end of S1. During "Weekend" Lee seemed to be enjoying his playacting newly weds far more than Amanda although FR was a prior episode, and they both seemed to react to their closeness. Sometimes I think the show's writers couldn't make up their minds about what their relationship should be. Even if she might have had a physical attraction for Lee, in S1 he was not what Amanda wanted as a life partner, let's face it. Okay, enough of my rambling, is there a discussion about when everyone thinks Less started falling for Amanda and vice versa? I'd love to see what other people's opinions are. Back in the 80's TV writers seemed reluctant to put two main characters together romantically and that is probably one of the reasons for the "will they or won't they" stuff. Thank goodness pressure from the fans eventually changed their minds.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Shadoweddancer. I think Lee's admission that he had loved her for a "very, very long time" is one of the things that made me think about writing these stories. I really wanted to put together their internal journeys. I do think Lee fell in love earlier than Amanda did, but you are right, lots of denial and I am enjoying uncovering why he had such strong denial. Amanda did have a crush and I think she cared genuinely and deeply for Lee, but it took quite a bit for her to allow herself to fall romantically in love. I think there is a thread here, and there are some posts on JWWM about Lee and Amanda's love story, I think. I know we have discussed it somewhere on these two sites.
Well, there are two more season 1 stories to post and then there will be a break for a bit while I finish up season 2. I am up to Life of the Party and real life has gotten hectic. But I can see the end of that hectic time and I have visions of lots of writing being done on the back porch while I watch the children play and the plants grow. (I think I may be delusional). The last half of season 2 is going to be fun, I feel like a master painter adding layers to a detailed picture...
