I dunno...... I got myself in trouble by trying to tie up too many loose ends and introduce characters from GF III, with no clear idea about where I was going with them, plot-wise. I really have only one plot idea for the rest of the story which, in my mind, is not that interesting, and no way to tie all the characters into it. But thanks for the compliment, and I'm glad you enjoyed it as far as it went.

How did you know? I swear, right now I'm just finishing re-reading An American Tragedy for about the fourth time. Are you a Dreiser fan?

It wasn`t that good, you know. Seriously Plaw, it was good but you started out too overhasted. Like JG said, you should have thought your plotlines out, write these and in between use those fill-ins of Puzo`s work that you wrote now. The thing that bothered me most in this story was also what bothered me in the modern GF II story. Too few Italians. I know we all think of the GF as not just another Maffia story, but as more of a family drama, and so much more. Nevertheless, the Maffia and Italian culture play a major role in it. I liked GF I, III and the flashbacks of II because of all the Italians. And while I could live with for instance Jews like Roth, ... because they were after all a big part of real-life organized crime, those lawyers and Britans really annoy me. Io volio Italiani! And there were not enough of them in your fricking fairy tale Plaw! I suggest you introduce at least 10 new Italians, no wait, Sicilians, with really 'Sicilian' names. Just for the sake of them being Sicilian. Capice?
See, we can act as smart as we want, but at the end of the day, we still follow a guy who fucks himself with kebab skewers.

Yes, I am new here, and I have been considering some sort of my own project based on the Godfather, but I didn't realise that not only were so many other GF fans around the world already so far ahead of me, but with (and i never doubted this) so much talent, you've done a great job. I really enjoyed reading those posts. Unbelievable talent.
EDIT: I just had a look in another thread.. I'm so sorry.. has this member of the postboard passed away.. I'm only new around here.. Please accept my apologies, I'm very sorry RIP

************************************
Anthony Corleone sat on the edge of his bed not knowing if he should be happy that he would finally be spending some time with his father, or be dissapointed that he could not spend the day fishing with his uncle Freddie. He had grown rather fond of his uncle. Ever since nonna Corleone had passed away, he and uncle Freddie had become rather close. Uncle Freddie had become like a big brother to Anthony, doing the many things with him that his own father never seemed to have the time to do. Why was it that his father was always away on a business trip? He once asked Michael this question, during one of the rare times that they were able to spend together, and his father's response to him was "I'm doing this for you, and your sister. Someday, when you are older, when this is all yours, and you have a son of your own, you'll understand." Understand what? Anthony had silently thought to himself. He wouldn't dare talk back to his father. Understand that his father never had the time to spend with his children? That his mother could only visit he and his sister in secret? What was there to understand? It was clear to him now that his father was not a "normal" father, like the other kids fathers were. So many times he and his classmates would be sitting at lunch, mostly boys, and they would exchange stories of how they had gone camping with their fathers, or played a game of catch. Anthony always refrained from joining in on the stories that the other boys shared. What stories did he have to share with the other boys? That his father had thrown his mother out? That one night some bad men came and shot up his house? How every night since then Anthony would have nightmares and wake up shaking? How he wouldn't dare go to his father for comfort out of fear that his father would consider him a coward? No, Anthony would quietly sit there listening to all the other boys, envying them, secretly wishing that his own father could be a "normal" father like the others. But now he had his uncle Freddie. At least now he could go to school and tell his friends how he had spent the day fishing on the lake, having fun. Maybe now he would "fit in" with the others. It was all he could think about as he was about to get into the boat with uncle Freddie. That was until aunt Connie called him back to the house. His father had decided that they would be going to Reno together. Uncle Freddie had a look of dissapointment on his face. But he and Anthony both knew that there would be no choice in the matter. They both knew that when Michael decided something, there was no refuting it. So Anthony unwillingly walked back to the house and prepared himself to make the trip to Reno with his father.
***************************** And in the boy's peurile, yet subtle and complex mind, a far-ranging plan of action was being initiated that would retrieve his mother's honor and bring his uncle back from the dead.
