Becuz, Leslie, Jack is very much like Jack WOULD HAVE BEEN if he had lived in 1933 Germany. germany was a haven for homosedxuals in thre '20s, and cabarets like Jack acts in were everywhere. Then came Hitler....Ennis shows flashes of the real Ennis--although, admittedly, you have to stretch to see Ennis as a guifted artist. I like "Nightfall" very much .

"Living in Transcendence" has another Jack/Ennis AU which I find fascinating. Jack and Ennis decide to stay together after Brokeback, so Ennis doesn't marry
, and Jack doesn't go to Texas for rodeoing. And...they both get drafted! It's not quite the happiest story in the world...

fanfiction

People beget; and
kisses beget, too, and tales
go on forever.

Sorry, I just can't "buy" Ennis as a New York cop, Ennis and Jack in 1930s Europe, 1930s Chicago, as Star Trek characters, on the Titanic -- Heart of the Ocean necklace and all in one version. They can certainly be good stories; but the odd thing about it is that if the authors changed the names and, in some cases, just a few of the circumstances and they could publish the work elsewhere but on a fanfiction website. Of course, I'm assuming here that they would want to; some authors don't.

Not that I think there's anything wrong with any of these stories, just not convinced they have any connection to Brokeback other than character names. And I sure wouldn't characterize their authors as not having "one foot in reality", to quote a cyber-bitchslap I got not long ago. ;)  (Not on this forum!)

I completely agree with you, I wouldn't want to read those stories either, I want the stories to be as close to the reality of the lives of Jack and Ennis as possible.
