Hi,
I'm looking for a story about Jack and Randall. I think the author's real name might be Amanda. On dc her screen name started with an "a" and also had an "x" in there somewhere. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

I would post this over at brokebackslash... they would probably know :)

I'm looking for a story callled "Standing Still," in which Jack wants Ennis to dance with him.
Thought maybe we could turn this into a "looking for a story" column!
-
Sounds like an interesting story... sorry haven't heard of it. But yes that was my idea, in terms of the thread name... hopefully some answers to go along with the questions, eventually.
;)

Kelly,
Not sure if this is the story you are looking for. "Come November" by athinfacade. http://community.livejournal.com/brokebackslash/295981.html#cutid1 (http://community.livejournal.com/brokebackslash/295981.html#cutid1)
I didn't read the story so don't know if this is the one. Just notice that the stroy is about Jack and Randall.
-
Thanks for your help Jenny, but sorry that's not the one. But thanks for trying!

Thanks everyone for alerting me to this author. I read a bunch of her stuff today and really enjoyed it! The Jack/Randall/Ennis story isn't over yet... she has also written some RPS and other interesting Brokeback related things.
;D

Anyone know of "Standing Still"
-
Can anyone help me find the story 'Come Away Easy' somewhere online?
I've tried this link, but all I get is a 'you do not have permission' notice:
http://comeawayeasy.livejournal.com/5212.html#cutid1
Is it posted anywhere else? I've heard its good.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hmm... well i'm not looking for a specific story, but looking for a story type. Does anyone know any really good angsty/tragedy stories? I don't want ones were Ennis is thinking of Jack after he died, there are just to many of those, but i want ones that are heart wrenching about their relationship when Jack was alive. I'm in the mood for a heart wrenching... call me crazy... ;) Like those ones about Randall and Jack posted above, where Jack is just broken up about Ennis, or even like the story i wrote on here, it's the type i like. Any suggestions?

Hi Seom--
I'm a canon guy, totally into the beauty of the BBM tragedy, so I'm going to pimp for a couple of my own early fanfics called "Kin" and "Silence." The second one might interest you, because it presents an end to Jack that is in contrast to your fanfic--which I LOVED! But "Kin" is also sad in its own way, as a prelude to "Silence." I wrote "Silence" on Christmas Eve, as some sort of catharsis, I guess. You can find these in the LiveJournal for rvanv, my alter-ego, also posted in Brokebackslash on January 18th.
Otherwise, there is an awesome fic that has stuck with me called "Careful What You Wish For" by LJ writer Crimson 37. It was posted in Brokebackslash on March 1st.
Good hunting,
Belgianboy

I thought Sheera's "The Words Do Not Come" was pretty angsty. She is "trascedenza" on livejournal.
-
thanks for the suggestions, but one more problem... how do i find these? Sry to be difficult, but could you post some links for me? :-* thanks! ;D

Hope these work!

After reading "The Silence"
We feel joy for those
who never lived or loved; mourn
those who never died.
Yet we can feel joy
for those who really love; mourn
those who truly died.

Stories on Live Journal can be a lot more difficult to find than on fanfiction.net, where they're all listed. LJ apparently was intended for blogs and not fiction.
The easiest way to look in LJ and find the kind of fiction you want is to join a 'community', where authors post titles and links. Brokeback Slash and Wranglers seem to be the best sources. Links:

LAST PLEA: Anyone know WHERE a FANFIC IS CALLED "sTANDING sTILL" IS? Both are drunk, and Jack keeps asking Ennis to dance with him, and keeps saying "but nobody can see us out here." It's opretty sad...

Julie,
Maybe you want to ask this question on davecullen? They seem to have encyclopedic memories for obscure fics over there...especially since no one here is answering your question. I don't know where this story is, myself.

Janice,
That was it! someone posted the link awhile back - thanks for checking in on me! I read what has been written, and enjoyed it... it's not finished though... the author is in midst of a number of stories... not sure if she'll ever get back to Come November, but I'll pick it back up if she does.
:)
