This is the first one I read. I suggest you give it a try. It got me hooked. I traded my obsession with the movie to one with fan fics
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2759902/1/ It's called "Human Interest", and there are several posts here about how good it is.
My other favorites are
Lead Me To Your Door
Somebody New
Dreaming
For a Little While, and its sequel, Some Silver Lining.

It sounds like we're all reading and recommending the same fanfics here. I like most of them, but "A Better Idea" has some moments that I'm finding a little hard to take (Ennis picking flowers for Jack? PUH-leeze.) but mostly it's interesting.
I don't know anything at all about homosexual men, but do they really have sex three-four times a day, every day? I know this is fiction, but damn. How are these boys supposed to get anything done?
The link to "The Strange Fate of Twist":
http://community.livejournal.com/wranglers/1016688.html#cutid1 I didn't think I would like it because the premise sounds so silly, but it works in its own, weird way.

I just saw your reply today, about seven months after you posted it. That's pretty timely for me! Anyhow. . .
It seems like a lot of BbM fanfic has things about them that I could critique. I like to think that I'm not so nitpicky that I can't look past it. I don't think I'm that way. When I think back to what I've read, I vaguely remember the stuff I didn't like but can remember specifics of what that I did like, if not love.
I haven't read "A Better Idea" yet, so I don't really know the context of Ennis picking flowers for Jack. With my first thought, I agree with you, that it is hard to take, but my second thought is that it is sweet and charming.
What bothers me most about it is the idea that the author could be portraying Ennis as the "man" in the relationship and Jack as the "woman". That's an easy thing to do with homosexual couples. Even I do it sometimes.
I guess it flies against my perception of Jack and Ennis as different but equal. We only saw one sex scene between them, so who's to say that Ennis was always the top, the pitcher? I saw them both behaving with each other in ways that are stereotypically male (protecting, providing, strong, and stoic) or female (emotional, nurturing). To me, they were a perfect match, a good team, because one seemed to fill the other's varying gaps. Does that make sense? It's, like, how they both could be either camp tender or shepherd.
Blah, blah, blah. As for your quesiton on gay men. . . Yes, they -- in fact, most healthy men -- can have sex multiple times a day -- if they are on crystal meth. But seriously, I know that under the right conditions (not talking rare, complicated stuff like planets aligning or even with the help of any drugs, legal or not), a lot of men can go at it a few times a day.
If Jack and Ennis are on one of their little fishing trips, the only thing they really have to do is provide for themselves and their horses and their camp. After that, they can do whatever they want. Alma did figure out that they weren't doing a whole lot of fishing. Even on a regular day, if there's enough time and not too much stress, not too many distractions, it can happen too. Yeah, men are pretty good that way.
Thanks for the link to "Strange Twist of Fate." I'll check it out.
And I don't hate you, especially since we are similar in remembering ONJ before "Grease." My older siblings had her greatest hits 8-track, and I remember listening to it as a kid in my dad's Monte Carlo. I still have "Have You Never Been Mellow" on 45. I'm so old! Did you see her recently on "American Idol"? She looks great.

There is no such thing as good fan fiction, especially where a linear story with a solid, complete ending is concerned. It's an attempt by untalented people to make the work of another writer their own.

Actually, some of it is very well written. Yes, fan fiction is based on someone else's work, but many of the writers have a very nice grasp of prose and the structure of fiction writing. Many of the writers are talented enough to write something other than fan fiction. In many cases, it isn't "the attempt of untalented people to make the work of another writer their own", but people who were very effected by a story/movie and who want to pay tribute to the original writer, not steal their work. If you don't like fan fiction, that's fine, but maybe try reading some before judging it. I have a degree in creative writing, and I swore that I would never read fan fiction until I became obsessed with Brokeback Mountain. But lately I've found some very talented people writing fan fic.

kevin, I started a thread on another message board regarding whether fanfic was a cheat or not. The gist of the discussion is that authors have been borrowing from each other for a long time now, and the heart of the matter is how good the writing is, not where the author got it from (as long as the original source is properly credited). That's good enough for me.

Oh, no, darlin', you're thinking about Big Foot. But seriously, you aren't entirely wrong. There is some crap out there.
The bad totally doesn't get the characters or their personalities and patterns or even the basic feel or theme of the original. . . or is self-indulgant, sometimes masturbatory, fantasies that just don't appeal to me. That stuff is so wrong and so off the mark, I can blow or laugh it off.
The worst is really bad retreads or needless expansions on things from the original story, totally not getting that part of the beauty of the story is Proulx's (and Lee's) tight, concise way of telling it. . . giving *every* *little* *frickin'* detail and S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G out everything -- obvious or not -- but basically going around in circles and adding nothing worthwhile. . . treating speculation or assumptions or misconceptions as fact.
Now, that stuff chaps my a$$ and can threaten to taint the original for me. It's not necessarily easy, but I can blow or groan it off. I mean, I've weathered some stupid stuff on the various BBM boards (like "Crash" being a better film. . . as IF!), so what's a little terrible fanfic? At least the writers have a love and appreciation for the story and characters, and they are trying.
Even the best can't hold a candle to the original -- which stands on its own, head and shoulders above even some of the best literature -- and can have parts that make me groan or cringe or roll my eyes. BUT. . . . . . .
The decent and the downright good are a lot of fun. I've posted it here before, but I enjoy having further adventures with these characters and seeing them in different situations. I like 'em and want to spend more time with 'em. It's fun to fantasize about what coulda/shoulda/woulda been. And I get a kick when I read fanfic where the author pretty much nails how a character would react or speak in a situation. I like it when Jack doesn't die and there is still hope. It's kinda like fantasy sports leagues. No real harm in it.
But don't get me started on those homemade videos where people sync BBM clips to lush love songs. If you're not the one, then why does my soul feel glad todaaaaaaaay!? It's incongruous. . . like putting chocolate syrup on mashed potatoes. No, their songs have fiddles, not violins. . . steel guitars, not horns. . . twang, not Celine or Mariah twittering.

The Cuddle Fix site kinda freaks me out what with all the music and such. It's so busy! I love the pictures however. There's a lot of them on there that I haven't seen before. Go ahead and laugh at me, but I've been using BBM pix as my desktop decore since December. It's always nice to get a fresh, new foto to spruce up the old PC. I mean, this is the new millenium -- computers serve as fashion statements just as much as functional machines anymore. In fact, some Saturdays, when I'm feeling lazy, I put up a new pic as my desktop and just relax. When someone asks me what I did over the weekend, I tell 'em I redecorated!
I'll check out your work soon(ish), P Angie P. I'm amazed at how much BBM fanfic there is out there. Actually, I'm more like overwhelmed. I can't really keep up with it all. . . all the serialized stories. . . all of the authors whose work I like or don't like. Shoot, I can't even keep up with my favorite posters on this board. You all look pretty much the same from where I'm sitting. You're all *gorgeous*! Well, except for the nasty ones who say BBM is boring and not so special and that "Kazaam" should have won awards over BBM and that Jack and Ennis were straight, just friends with bennies, and now they're really straight. . . to hell and Jack is gonna have to pump up all the flat tires on the bus that takes 'em there. I am *SO* sure! Those posters probably look like Mama from "Throw Mama from the Train." But I digress. . .
You crazy people have actually inspired me to try my hand at this fanfic thingie. I mean, apparently all the cool kids are doing it. I've gotten about 15 chapters outlined, and I've written (and rewritten and rewritten and rewritten again and again then some more) the first chapter, but I'm still not happy with it. I fear I'm doing everything I criticized in an earlier post in this thread. I guess hypocrisy is part of my essence.
Would one of you kind (and gorgeous) peoples point me towards something somewhere that would get me started on learning how to post any work I do deem worthy of sticking out there for all the world to see? I'm so confused! I'll probably have to get drunk to have the courage to do it, but then I'd probably get drunk regardless! Much obliged to anyone who can advise this lost lamb.

The most popular forum for this seems to be LiveJournal. It's pretty self-explanatory, and totally free. From my standpoint as a reader though, it can be tough to navigate (but I'm relatively new at it).
You can do this on any blog site, too. (Google, Yahoo, MySpace, etc. offer these.) Just treat each chapter like a seperate (consecutive) blog entry.

BBM was the reason I discovered fanfic. Like many others, I couldn't leave the story and the film. It kept spilling out. So..the fanfic I have found compelling and well written is
Human Interest and the sequel Two Crows Joy
Somebody New
and a new one (to me at least) If I Asked.
Have read lots of other stuff which was ok but those three I think are well written. Too much of the BBM fanfic centres around E and J having sex. Stirring in context but dull without.
Just my humble opinion.

Ailuro,
Why don't you start with this short one, it's called "The Wind Rivers", and tells about a week of Jack and Ennis on one of their camping trips, most likely the one just before Ennis and Alma divorce. It's the only one that I've read multiple times, and it still gives me chills, and even a tear or two. I really like it.

http://inseparable.declared-void.net/viewstory.php?sid=36 Having been introduced to fanfic and not really been inspired (I prefer the ones which could actually happen), I found this one excellent because, as the author says, it's a very likely situation between the two of them.
There is one change in the story you'll probably notice, though, but I think it really works.
I love you, always. Time is nothing.

Hi posworth,
I read this one a long time ago, and liked it enough to print it out and keep it. I think you'd like the one I recommended above, called "The Wind Rivers". It takes place during one of the weeks they spend camping together, very true to the original, and certainly believable. Check it out.

I've found a few more that I've found worth reading (I also want a story about the love between our boys, and how things could have been different if there were different paths taken, not just screwing all the time). "Lead Me To Your Door" by Marakeshsparrow is fantastic - it is an AU where Jack and Ennis didn't meet when they were 19, and Jack discovered the story by Annie Proulx in his fifties. I've been loving it.

Just gotta put in a recommendation for "Human Interest" and its sequel, "Two Crows Joy" - everyone is addicted to them over at Livejournal. The story is incredibly moving, funny and real. The characters are endearing. And the writing is far, far better than you'd expect of fanfiction. You'll be really surprised by it.

I just re-read For A Little While, and forgot how much the boys had sex in that one. And there is one called Cabin Fever, where they are having sex on three out of five pages. Those aren't the kinds of fics I like. MadLori of Human Interest and Two Crows Joy hints at the sex, but there is a story there. Conficts, relationships, drama, real meat, not just slash. Her style doesn't need to go into so much detail in the sex scenes. I'll tell you what though, a beautifully written sex author is royandronnie. She has a couple of stories, Never Enough Sleep, and The Time Between. The way she writes the sex scenes is ethereal and poetic. Here is a quote I really like from Never Enough Sleep:
He still had Jack’s hands pinned over his head, but in truth they surrendered to each other, as they always did. Ennis didn’t hurry, he didn’t like to be rushed ever, and his free hand found Jack’s face, cradled it, as his tongue met Jack’s quicksilver eagerness with deliberate, passionate earnestness, dart met with thrust, quick taste met with a slow licking of the open lips as his thumb slid under the bottom lip. The only sounds were of harsh breathing and half-muffled cries of protest and desire, Jack moaning and whimpering, Ennis growling and purring in his deeper voice as the mouths and bodies slid together in the ancient dance.
Whoooweee! She's got such a gift with words....

I think someone above stated that fan fiction was a 'teenage obession,' okay well, I am twenty five and I write fan fiction. I don't see it as 'junk' or 'useless' or anything like that... I work hard on them. I am a English major and a writer/poet. I use fan fiction as writing exercise. It is good practice when you use characters (already established) and flesh them out - take them into new scenerios...
I like the challenge of it. That is just my opinon... but good fan fiction is hard to do and something I take pride in.

<<I am a English major and a writer/poet.>>
I am a recent convert to fanfic. I left it alone for the longest time. I thought nothing could add to original.. I didn't want to "ruin" the experience. I was an English major too, and I'm a writer. And I was a snob, I now realize.
Then someone sent me a link to one of Belgianboy's stories, and holy s hit. I spazzed, I cried, I was on a total euphoric high. Yes, I could criticize, but what's the point? If a story can do that to you, what more do you want? It is powerful.. it is real. And it is quality. I do think I was lucky to read Belgianboy first. He's a talented and skillful writer.. I respond to the 'heart' - the depiction of emotion (and sensation) - but he has the skill to support the content, which makes it very, very good.
Ladywilde, I take it your name is a reference to Oscar? I love Oscar Wilde, he is one of my great heroes. When I was first spazzing over Belgianboy, I was a little embarrassed (my friends were looking at me funny), but then suddenly I had the thought: Oscar would've loved this. And that made it okay.

Malina-5, I enjoy your posts alot. here is a link for a FanFiction I really like entitled simply "Ennnis". It's a good read, but long. I printed it out because I dislike reading off a PC screen, but that's just me. I found this story really very satisfying, and it's how I like to think what happened for Ennis after Jack. The ending had quite an impact on me, but don't jump to the end and spoil it for yourself!!!

retropian - that ending - the bit about the you-know-whats - I'm just not sure! It's powerful, anyway - I think I like the ending - I'm just not sure! I liked the story, though. I would also like to think that's what happens for Ennis. The thing I always think of is that he was only 39 when Jack died. That's not old. He'd have time for a whole other life.
btw, I just love the 'free hugs'. I keep passing it on to people who I think need to see it. It's great. It's like getting a hug.
Oh, for anyone else who's curious, it's OT but here's the link:
It's on the 'return of ClancyPants' thread too.

Hi Malina.
I was stunned by that ending, by what Ennis did with the "you know what's".
I liked it because it symbolized his emotional growth and commitment to a new love. He'd been carrying his heartache all that time, and has been emotionally stalled because of it. Now someone has wakened him to new possiblilites and he lets go of the past, not forgetting, not eliminating his love for Jack, but moving forward instead of hanging on to the past. He free's himself and takes a chance on love. Yah! for Ennis!
I'm glad you liked the "hugs" video.

I totally get that, and I agree. I love that he moved forward. Still, when he did the thing with the you-know-whats, part of me went NOOOO, not the you-know-whats! I find it challenging. I think that's very funny and interesting.

I would like to recommend a fic I just discovered titled "Tainted Evidence," and I have provided a link to the Lowermanhattan Community over at Live Journal. I'm sure the author won't mind. Keep in mind that this story is a total departure from the usual E&J fic, and some would say totally out of character. I'm not even half way through the fic, but I'm impressed. Tainted Evidence reads like a novel, and although it is not true to canon (at least so far) it is really drawing me in. I won't go into detail in case you guys decide to check it out, but in Tainted Evidence, Ennis is a New York City homocide detective and Jack is a NYC Public defender. You can find Tainted Evidence here:
http://community.livejournal.com/lowermanhattan/4201.html#cutid1 I would love to know what you guys think of this fic!

This one is just for laughs! Jack gets pregnant and Ennis has to deal with cravings, mood swings, lamaze classes...
