--- Quote from: magicmountain on July 22, 2006, 04:53:26 am ---Well I think I may have paid my last visit to the dc slash discussion thread. I just can no longer stand the way everyone is shedding tears and breaking their hearts over how sad and lonely and miserable Ennis' life is now and forever. So I conveyed a message from Ennis saying how much he appreciated everyone's concern but that he wanted assure everyone that he was recovering and having a happy life in Laramie. No doubt I have worn out my welcome there with this last missive!

Hi MM... You might want to drop by the FanFiction section of this board, which as you may know by reading here, is now moderated by myself and Leslie, and we are encouraging readers and writers there to share their work and their reading experiences on the whole range of the Brokeback Experience. Our philosophy, as so well expressed by Phillip in founding this board, is "To finish the story of Brokeback in our own lives." This of course, requires us to find our own answers, our own solutions, and yes, the endings that we ourselves write.
For whatever reason, there are "categories" of outcomes and styles in fan fiction that attract people. No doubt a clinical psychologist might find this of interest and be able to offer a definitive explanation of why some choose alternate endings for Ennis and others choose to rewrite the ending of BBM and some choose a happier or a more tragic outcome. There is room for all outcomes here. In the interest of harmony, however, as a newly appointed mod, our official position regarding davecullen.com is one of friendly cooperation and interaction. Take what you like... leave the rest.
(Uh oh, I think I stole that from an AA slogan!)

I would like to put a word in for the davecullen forum. It was a lifesaving haven for me when I had nowhere to turn in the days following my first viewing of the movie. I found loving likeminded souls who knew what I was going through and helped me find my way again. I continue to visit daily, reading every entry of the "How BBM Affected Me" thread, which continues to evolve as does our journey through this emotional upheaval.
I found the Laramie Saga through the DC Slash thread, although I no longer visit that particular thread. The companionship I have found here is what I need. Your acceptance is the draw and continues to be, as that in the "Affected" thread. I have enough discord in real life. I am still sorting through the changes that have been produced in me as a result of this phenomenon.
I would like to see all of us continue to accept that we have different needs and address it positively. I have bowed out of a couple of threads at DC quietly because they no longer suit my needs. That's fine. Let's enjoy the companionship we have found here that is unique to anywhere else. You guys are great.
