What about finished stories? It seems to be a trend in the fandom now - stories that have been under construction for many many months and unfinished.

Yeah, there are a few writers who have decided to lock their journal for friends only. Apart from the privacy issue, I think it might also be due to the subject of the stories which are challenging to some readers, so it's better to lock them for those who are willing to read those stories with open minds.
About finished stories, I'll recommend Minchout's 'The Only Thing That's Real', but she's also locked her journal.
I would also recommend Wannabebrit's 'The Ties That Bind' which souxi has already recommended in above. It's a story about S&M and had received some backlash at the beginning but I think it has died down.

Mmmm.... Brokeback slash receiving some backlash... now there's a tongue breaker. ;)
I would recommend my own story, but I am a modest type of girl... LOL!
Lately I have been focusing on writing, so I am not reading much, but I absolutely adore the following stories:
Camden Yards (even if it takes forever to update... I'm hooked and dying for a new chapter
In Plain Sight (in fact, I am gonna make a thread for that one)
Best Friends Forever (miss them...)
You and me & a dog named flea
Dead Petals

I'm happy to recommend your story, Mel!
Right Where You Are http://rightwhere-u-r.livejournal.com/1313.html
24 chapters so far and I believe we are heading into the home stretch (I'm guessing a couple more chapters?) - so those of you who are worried about starting WIP's that may not end - no worries here!
Also:
Quicksilver by fernly (jtsbar at livejournal). From the author's notes: Quicksilver is about Jack’s life away from Ennis after their summer on Brokeback – there’re a lot of months and years we never see that I got to wondering about. A time period and pov not often written about. Exquisite writing.

I have read three total. The first one in the month following the film's release, the other two somewhat later. I don't find AU fanfics very appealing, and have only read and finished two. One, I finished out of a sense of time invested, and one I completed because I liked it.
Ennis - Probably not the greatest, but definately filled a cavity left in my heart, left by the film experience.
Somebody New - Time Invested, didn't really care for it, but after 1 million pages of lousy dialect I thought I should finish it.
A Love Born From Steel - I liked it. Genuine charectarization, honest writing, again despite the AU aspect of it, but if I had never heard of BBM in any form I would have enjoyed this.
Strangely enough. The only "full length" story I wrote was, in the end, an AU. Go figure...we all sell out for an audience...LOL...eventually. ;)

This has been my favorite so far (admittedly I haven't read extensively in fanfic, and had never even sampled this kind of writing until BBM the movie threw me for such a loop).
I've read some other quite beautiful stories as well, remembering some writings by our Jeff Wrangler, Kea, and outrider with fondness, as well as a couple of others whose links I retrieved via the old IMDb board but whose titles/authors I cannot at the moment recall. I even made a few faltering attempts at fanfic myself, but couldn't sustain the initiative to continue or develop them (I don't think I'm particularly gifted at writing fiction, and am significantly ignorant of the rural life that a good BBM story would require).
