Golden showers? OMG! Ewwww. Anyone know the names of those fics so I can avoid running into them by accident?
Some of the things that go on in this fandom just boggle my mind. :o

I'm a big fan of AU!AU (the hit man one is "Zero at the Bone," which I am writing; Jack is a surgeon in it). The "truck stop whore" fic is "The Wolf and the Thunderbird" by Kumari, and it's actually very good. As with everything else, summarizing it as "Jack is a truck stop whore" is oversimplified and does the fic no justice. It's not my absolutely favorite AU!AU, but Kumari is one of our best writers.
The more AU!AU I read, the more I get the sense of Jack and Ennis as universal archetypes, reborn into different times and circumstances, reimagined as different men meeting in different situations, but still seeing what they are to each other. It's like they exist at all times and all places, and their incarnations on Brokeback fromt he canon are just one of their existences.
Back on topic! Only one chapter today! WAAAAHHH!!!

Ahhh..........
big sigh.
It is so nice to be back in the loop again. You guys have entertained me immensely this evening with the new verbage, and pictures of foo-foo dogs. (I have two of them!)
Seriously though, no sex for a week for Ennis? Someone has to come up with some sort of alternative?? Ellery has to take a business trip? Thus he's not tempted. What will we do? (Maybe we will get to read about Dupree?)
Well, it's back to work for me.
I've missed you guys!

to Leslie: the reader in question brings all of his/her begging and pleading and sometimes even bribery, to bear, to increase the local "schmoop" factor in a given chapter or plot element to the desired level.
to Souxi: the reader in question takes leslie-ing to a whole other level with a fair amount of weeping, wailing, howling, .. practically anything to get what they want. Souxi-ers have been known to be downright relentless and they usually get what they want.
to June: to squee.

Here is another possibility derived from the most recent developments in the LS:
to fistulate: To undergo a period of enforced sexual abstinence, of at least one week's duration, while at the same time getting married.
