Like many stories everywhere this one was inspired by a picture. A picture of a good looking guy in a dorky hat. I know my first response to the VF photoshoot of Rob with the alligator on his shoulder was "why is he wearing an amish hat?"
Obviously I was not the only one to make this kind of a comment and so from Twitter conversations that took place around the world AMISHWARD was born. People were calling for someone to write an Amishward well one author took on that challange.
I found this story because a friend of mine follows this particular author and I happened to catch her tweeting about chapter 1 of Amishward. Me being ME I fav'd the tweet, clicked on the link and after ONE chapter I was hooked.
Here is the part where I tell you why I'm hooked:
First off the Amish have always fascinated me as a society. Secondly I like the idea of someone being accepted by this society because of something bad that happened. The whole sanctuary thing appeals to me. A group of good people protecting an innocent person and showing them their way of living and accepting life based on their faith gives me hope.
Also this fic appeals to the LARGE side of me that adores period romance because of the way the Amish choose to live. It is like stepping back in time where roles were defined and people worked very hard for the simple things in life that we in the modern world tend to take for granted.
This is a simple story that speaks to the romantic in me. It says these two have obsticles to overcome and how will they do it and what will happen when these worlds collide? How will he deal with an attraction to a woman that is outside what he should want? What world will she choose? Will she have a choice? Or will outside forces make that choice for her? How will the two worlds deal with them possibly getting together?
This fic is so new that it is still not a given that these two will end up together. Yes it is an E/B story, however I NEVER assume that just because I am reading that genre that it is a given many authors have pleasantly surprised me by NOT giving me an HEA to me that keeps things interesting.
So pull up a chair. This is a short read because so far there are not many chapters in it. Give it a shot and don't forget to let me know what you think!
