I had never heard of fanfiction either. And somehow i stumbles upon Human Interest by Madlorie. I was hooked. It was halfway through when i started and remember reading a whole day non stop. I loved it!
I really loved Leslie's A Love Born From Steel. Such a happy beautiful story, warms my heart everytime i read it. It was the first story i had printed and bound.
And then there was The Laramie Saga. I rest my case ;D Thank you Leslie for recommending that.

I completely agree. I've shed many tears over this story, but it really has helped me move on. I'll be forever grateful to Louise for writing this story.
I've also enjoyed The Heart of the Matter by Scott immensely. Very poetic and moving story.

I'd also like to thank all the enormously talented authors out there for sharing and continuing to share all your beautiful stories with us; Brokeback Mountain and fanfiction truly changed my life too, in so many ways :)

Like some posters said above, I had never heard or fanfiction or slash before Brokeback Mountain either. In fact, I didn't even know what slash meant. Then, someone over at IMDB talked about the story written by Tom Forster: Ennis: A Brokeback Sequel which he wrote as a therapy to deal with the emotions from the movie. Then, when we all moved here after the troll wars at IMDb, the talk of the town became Leslie's story, A Love Born From Steel. Folks here were commenting it over and over again.
I must confess that, at first, I was very reluctant to read it because Jack was alive in the story. It has always been my opinion that Jack's death is an important element of the story's message, and making him alive seemed to destroy the whole experience for me.
But curiosity won and I ended up reading the entire story and loving it. I realize it didn't really mean to change the BBM's original message but just show what would've happen if Ennis had made a diffrerent decision about his relationship with Jack. In other words, it showed what can happen when we bet on happiness regardless of the obstacles ahead.
After Leslie was done with the story, I took no interest in any other until Louise came along. I was a regular at the chat, and for a while all I heard was Ennis and Ellery this, Ennis and Ellery that. So my curiosity was again picked. I began to read the Laramie Saga and was instantly hooked. I think it is a marvelous story that send another important message from BBM: the importance of mourning, and that moving on with your life doesn't mean you stop loving those from your past.
After the Laramie Saga I have read a few other stories, such as Scott's which is also a beautiful tale. I don't have much time now to keep up with fanfiction but I am planning to read, sometime in the near future, some of the most popular around here for example, Tainted Evidence and a few others.
