I am so glad that you started this thread today Melissa. :D
I hate to admit this but even though I have been here for a little whille I have just discovered in the last two days that this whole world exists that I didn't really know about before.
Now with this thread I know where to begin ;)
I would of course appreciate any more suggestions and where to find them.
Thanks ;D

Marleen,
Welcome to the world of fanfiction. You are in for a treat...
There's a whole universe of stories out there, each with their own appeal for different readers. As with anything, you can ask 10 people what's their favorite and you are likely to get 10 different answers! So be prepared to be bombarded....
I would suggest taking some time to explore this board. We have different threads for different stories, which include links. Most stories are posted in either LiveJournal or fanfiction.net--ie, the stories aren't here, just links to the stories. I can help you find something in particular. Just send me a PM.

Hey! Oh wow, I wish I was in your shoes! You are like a kid in a candy store, there are so many wonderful stories to start with. Take Leslie's A Love Born from Steel (one of the first stories I read along with For A Little While) and Human Interest by Madlori. It's probably a good thing to start with a finished story! Then I would recommend reading If I Asked by Amy (midwest_girl), it's one of my favorites and beautifully written! But of course, these are just my recommendations, like Leslie said, everybody will give different recs!

God, what a great question!
there are so many that I love... I have to go with Mel though, It isn't my favorite fic necessarily, but I think Shades of Grey would make the best movie.
I think it's the most cinematic and has one of the most clear cut story arcs and character development with more in mind than just getting Jack and Ennis together. Also, I think she has some really well written OCs with Madrigal and Colin (and Heinstroza especially) and I would love to speculate on who to cast... (we all know Christian Bale is who's his face ;) )
Though, I would love to see Nobody's Angel made into a movie, too...
And if the Pirate fic ever got finished >:(
And probably anything by Bailey could be transported into a movie... Line Squall? Just Another New Kid in Town? Boot Hill? All of those would be great...
Ok, I apparently have a problem with the "one" part of this question :-\ :-*

"Ennis", written by our fellow member Tom Forster. It is beautiful, life-affirming, and develops Ennis's character in a way consistent with how the film and Proulx's original story presented him. The author shows a good understanding of working life in the rural West, and creates a character in Billy who is as lovable and memorable as Ennis and Jack.
Here is a link to Tom's story:
