Resolutions- Chapter 2
*-*-*-*
Max plopped a stack of papers down, and took a seat at the table. “Fourth quarter results are in. Business is good, Boss.”
Alice looked up from the magazine she was reading. “I really hate it when you call me that.”
Max laughed, “I know, but I love to see that little vein in your temple pop out.”
Alice shook her head, and pretended to be irritated. It still surprised her that she enjoyed working with Max. Certainly, the website administration had been smooth sailing since Max had taken the reins, leaving Alice plenty of time to focus on her radio show and writing.
Alice thumbed through the sheets Max pushed over to her. “Wow. I had no idea when I designed the Chart that it could be so lucrative.”
“There definitely seems to be an intense interest; the traffic on the site has grown nearly 800% since September. That translates into some significant advertising opportunities for businesses targeting the lesbian market.” Max leaned back in his chair and took a sip of coffee. “You should consider a tour.”
“What?”
“A tour…go around to different gay and lesbian communities and spread the word about The Chart. We grew exponentially just from casual web surfers. Imagine what the growth could be if you actually promoted the Chart.com. Plus, you’d be visiting potential clients if you went to bookstores and cafes for your appearances.”
Alice laughed. “Right. Appearances? That’s ridiculous, Max.”
“What’s ridiculous?” Bette pulled a chair out and set her tea on the table. Nodding to Max with a smile she continued, “Are you making her temple throb again?”
Max snickered. “Yeah, but for a good reason this time. I just suggested that Alice promote the Chart in other markets. The growth has been amazing just by word of mouth. I think it’s got amazing potential if Alice becomes an active spokesman.” Max shoved the 4th quarter results over to Bette.
“Hey! I am an active and spunky spokesman thankyouverymuch! Every day on the air I allude to the website at least ten times. In fact, I promote it so often I think Ruth is about to start charging me ad dollars.”
“Wait a minute, Alice. Max has a good point.” Bette looked up from the figures. “This is impressive.”

Wow, what a creative premise! Yay that you updated, I can’t wait to read more (hopefully soon?). Summer camps for adults–I’m thinkng potential to sneak in long walks, long talks and perhaps even inappropriate behavior after dark in or around the canoe launch, LOL. Seriously, though, the clever setting holds much intrigue. As always w/your fics, I look forward to seeing where you take Lace and us as readers….keep up the good work!
I agree with Mineralka – what a creative premise. And I especially like the idea of everyone in such a confined space… I can just imagine the chaos that’ll create. Well. Brilliant chapter. Can’t wait for the next. Please post soon.
i like it!!! that´s for sure! all the girls in a summercamp. there are so many pictures in my head right now… this will be fun ;-) (in this moment i think at the scenes after dana´s funaral, so there could be some melancholisch-moments for me)and also a very romantic atmosphere for lara and alice.hope to read more soon :-)ps: the brunch was great!big hug, naren
omg this is gonna be funny. I can just imagine Alices face when she see’s Lara. This is gonna get really good. PMS!
This is such a great premise, Gold! I love it already – I too can’t wait for Alice’s reaction when she sees Lara. And I agree with Min – I’m thinking there will be lots of opportunities for laughs as well as inappropriate behaviour at camp! Plus, I’m sure the gang will get up to plenty of shenanigans of their own… I’m looking forward to reading all about it! The idea of Shane at summer camp just makes me laugh. As for my story… I know, I totally suck! But, I’m hoping to get something posted in the next couple of days – as usual, you’ve inspired me to write! :)
This chapter just sparkled, Gold. The dialogue, the setup for the gang at camp, Lara climbing a tree(!), all of it. I’m really looking forward to see how this plays out. Thanks for the excellent post.
summer camp~!!!i used to go summer camp almost every yr….it was funnnnnn!!!!!pls update asap =]
