As some of you may know, I first got interested in this film because I was writing a bisexual Russian teenager in an online soap opera (cheesy I know). I have previously posted what I've written involving Brokeback Mountain on IMDB but that was even before the Oscars, and since then I have updated a little. It kind of comes in the middle of his life. But the biography below can help you understand what he's been through.
Below is a link to the passages concerning the character of Danil Andropov and how his life changed by seeing Brokeback Mountain. I know it's not directly related to the characters or anything but I know there is a little bit of interest here, so I hope it's all right if I still post it here. If not, then the moderators may delete it.
Thanks again. This is a wonderful forum.

http://anyaangie.proboards61.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1139235748&page=1I know it's not Pulitzer material, but I'm just doing what feels right at the moment.
I hope you like it... mind you I'm a little nervous, so please bear with me!
