Rawhide
« on: April 26, 2007, 01:16:37 am »
Hi,

I'm new here and I had a fanfic I wanted to share. It's called Rawhide and it's J/E, NC-17 (eventually), It is an au!au in that it takes place in 1867 and finds our two boys working on a ranch and getting ready for a cattle drive from Texas to Montana. Warning: Jack is not quite 16 and Ennis is only 18 in this story so if their ages bothers you this may not be something you'll enjoy.

This is the first fanfic in this fandom that I've attempted so I hope it won't disappoint. I have posted this at wrangler and bbmslash also but only just posted it on my own lj tonight.

The link for is http://petitemiel.livejournal.com/

Anyway I hope you like.  :)

Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad that you're enjoying the story. I've finished the next chapter but I always end up tinkering with them a bit before I'm truly satisfied so I should be posting the next chapter in a day or so.

Thanks again for the feedback. I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know what you thought. :)

Thanks for the news Bud!

I just finished reading your new chapter.  And, I'll say again, that I think your writing is really strong!  You seem very knowledgeable about ranching and the cowboy lifestyle.  I like that this story is set in the 19th century... very interesting spin.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm glad you like the story and the writing.  I'm trying to make the story as authentic as I can. Researching the subject has helped and is making it more fun for me at the same time. I'm learning a lot about cowboys, ranch life and cows quite frankly. LOL I'm glad to see that the effort has not been wasted. Thanks for the feedback and for giving the story a chance.

Hey, Petite,

I finished Chapter 6 and am enjoying it more and more . . . as I've been reading I wondered if you had actual ranch experience, but I see that you've been researching - and what a great job you've done of blending your research into the story.    This is a good old-fashioned western (which I love) with Jack and Ennis (also love) - a winning combination for sure, and a very natural one. 

Thanks,
Marie
