Brokeback Mountain inspired Fan Fic recommendations
« on: January 02, 2007, 02:17:24 am »
It's a big world with all kinds of people and tastes. Since we have a thread with recommendations for E/J fics, I think it appropriate to have one for stories that fall outside that genre. I am finding that stories that I never thought I'd like for whatever reason, have become some of my absolute favorites. That just says it is time (for me) to explore a bit further outside my fantasy zone.

Any recommendations?

The sleeper hit for me was "Tainted Evidence."  I think besides the quality of the writing and the chock-full-o dialogue style (I prefer to write and read dialogue, myself, which makes the characters more vivid), the fact that the Ennis we know from Brokeback seemed to have a natural fit to a hard-bitten New York detective with that bristly undercurrent of closeted need we all know so well.

still "in progress"

PS . uh oh. I guess this IS an "Ennis and Jack" fic.  But it is outside of the BBM setting.  Er.  Well, maybe the rec is good for something!

Well, that would be Shades of Grey by Midwest Girl. Definitely. But I think everybody has already read that.  :)

She's already got a thread but please everyone read Bailey's I'll Be Seeing You... anything by Bailey really is a good read, but she gets better with each continual story. Check it out!  :)

Shades of Grey is a perfect example of what I was saying. I avoided it like the plague and then, on the recommendation of Mandy, I read it. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it.

I think I'm almost ready to read some sad (Ennis) fic  :'(

I would add "Ed and Hank" which had me fooled into thinking it was a happy little fic until it started to tackle all sorts of big issues for the main characters.  The author is also one of the most creative I've come across using postcards and pictures to make up some of the chapters.

Very different kind of story and one that I'm really enjoying reading:
