She has, and cannot understand why some of us haven't.

If she's "still pissed", then arguably it's less a case of moving on than taking on some of the characteristics of what one most despises -- in this case, apparently, a churlish celebrity.
As for people here proclaiming that they don't read fanfiction -- if you don't want to read something, don't read it. But it isn't on a par with composing a great symphony, saving children from a burning building or actually making sense of the IRS Tax Code. It's not an accomplishment; get over it.
Oh right, like nobody here ever thought of that.

Tell you what, I don't intend to be offensive or personal, but, depending on what exactly you mean by "moving on" with respect to Brokeback Mountain, I don't understand it either. :-\
I feel that I've incorporated the story and the film into my life and "moved on," but I'm sure not living it night and day like I did three years ago. :-\
Marge_Innavera:
I'm not either. And frankly, I don't acknowledge the authority of a writer I've never even seen in person, let alone met, to tell me to 'move on'. Although the eye-rolling and head-shaking part is none of my business.
People have all kinds of interests; watch just one installment of Antiques Road Show and you'll see examples you can hardly believe. This is one of them, and speaking just for myself, it's been no less rewarding than any other.
