Hi Wojtek and welcome to BetterMost.

I don't read fanfic anymore and no longer have the stories saved, but I now others have.

Maybe Monika can help you. Scroll back a few pages and you'll find her posting.

Yes ma'am, I'll have a cup of coffee, but I can't eat no cake just now... I've had too much of it already today, would have to go over my limit (as though I had one haha).

As for Monika, she seems to have been last active in August, but as I said, it's nothing urgent. Thanks for your reply, have a good day! (or night in my instance.)

Hi Wojtek, I don't have Force of Nature, but I dug around and found Somebody New.  Let me know your email address and I'll send it on.

Hi morrobay,

I am new to this BBM Forum that I found when looking for Jennas Story "Somebody New". I just recently discovered the BBM fanfiction and Jennas fantastic FON series has me completely hooked. Now I am desperately hoping to get my hands on a copy of the prequel "Somebody New".

In your post to Wojtek you mention that you have got a copy of that Story as PDF. I would be eternally grateful if you could email it to me, too. My email adress is   [email protected]

Thank you so much.
Astrid

I have been looking for Somebody New by Jenna Hilary Sinclair for awhile but I can't find it anywhere. I am wondering if someone can email it to me?

For anyone who's wanting to get their hands on Somebody New, Force of Nature - Earthquake, and Force of Nature - Storm, I found them on Archive of Our Own (https://archiveofourown.org/) - search for either Brokeback or Jenna Hilary Sinclair and you should find them.

I've just finished Somebody New and Force of Nature - Earthquake and absolutely loved both (maybe (in a whisper) even more than Human Interest and Two Crows Joy  :o). I think both were probably written back after I dropped out of the Brokie scene for a while (just 17 years lol) which is probably why I missed them the first time round. I need to take a break before reading Force of Nature - Storm as I really need to concentrate on getting some uni work done), but the next chance I get I'll be reading that too!

Though there were times in Somebody New initially where I was getting a little frustrated with Jack and him stringing Ennis along with coach donkey-dong (made me laugh every time Ennis said that!) the more I understood why Jack was feeling the way he was and how hurt he'd been by Ennis as time went on, though equally at times Ennis and his obsession with his damned horses frustrated me too, but I think all in all, in both, they really were canon Jack and Ennis, and hopefully will continue in the same vein in Force of Nature - Storm.

Edit: Nope, just had a look at the start of this thread, and from the date it seems that I somehow managed to completely miss it the first time round even though I was around in the Brokie-dom back then! Duh!  ::) :laugh:

Both, I thought, were amazingly well written, and after all these years the portrayal of both Jack and Ennis in them made me consider some things about their relationship and feelings about things I'd not previously considered before (or possibly had back in Brokeback obsession 1.0 back in the 2000's which I've now forgotten about  :laugh:).

If anyone's looking for recommendations for Brokeback fanfic though, these two would definitely be top of my list!

I haven't read BBM fanfic in over 15 years, but Jenna's work was among my absolute favourites.

Hm...maybe it's time for a little rereading?
