well.....I don´t think that is quite accurate. I´ve been in other fandoms, and I don´t think I am the only one here.
But BBM has become something more, it has become a part of who we are.
CellarDweller:
Yes, it sure has!

If you can't find it, I have it. I'll be happy to send it to you in a pm, Lee.

--- Quote from: Front-Ranger on October 01, 2014, 09:41:06 am ---What I wonder about is how we came together in the first place. Ours never was the typical fandom, and the people who stayed around are not the kind of people who run in fandoms. I have been so blessed to meet and know people who I never would have had the chance to meet otherwise. Without Brokeback Mountain and BetterMost, I would have gone my dreary way for the rest of my life, unknown, unloved, unchallenged. Instead, a story about two lonely sheep herders, written by a fiercely unsentimental author, has changed my life forever. And the biggest change is knowing there are people like me out there, being able to reach out to them and know them, even though some have passed through only briefly and even though I may never meet some of them in so-called "real life."

Yes, the whole thing sure still is a mystery in many ways.
BBM has changed my life so profoundly, that I can hardly remember what it was like before anymore.
But I don't wonder about it so much anymore, I accept it and enjoy it. And I'm deeply grateful that BBM happened to me, it made my life so much richer in so many ways.

Me to, darlin'! I remember when I was first into the Brokie Fever, I was talking with friends, and one of them said that they never had a movie affect them like Brokebackk affected me. I told them there was still time for that, and they replied that they didn't think it would ever happen to them.
I thought that was sad.
