In the past few months I've been playing catchup reading some really good fanfictions. Most of these have been written by women. I find it fascinating that there is so much ff writing about a pair of gay cowboys. I know there is alot of other ff that deals with other gay characters too, also written predominately by women. So I'm curious and have some questions.
What is it that motivates you to write BBM fanfiction? Have you ever previously been interested in what happens in gay male relationships?(I don't mean just physically) Have you written non-BBM gay oriented FF?
I have to add too, that I really appreciate how so many women BBM-ff writers are able to capture and express emotions. In many stories the emotions that Jack and/or Ennis are experiencing when they are making love are so wonderfully expressed. That really gets to me, the way sex is an outward manifestation of love. How the emotional passion these two characters is blended with the physical.
I write m/m fanfiction in at least two fan worlds - have 2 stories going based on BBM (but in alternate universes). I've always been interested in gay male relationships. They just tend to be fascinating to me because of the dynamics, so different from male/female or f/f relationships. In m/f fanfiction, there is always the running undercurrent of domesticity, the soap opera dramas of pregnancy, children, marriage, family relations, all of which are extremely uninteresting to me. While gay men and women can also be involved in these things, obviously, most of the fanfiction I prefer and write doesn't deal with them
e.g. they're knights well met while fighting the crusades, two monks, two soldiers, etc.
