Good Old Boy to I learned about Women from 'Er. by twistedude.

ALL OR ANY CRITICISM WELCOME, here or by PM or by e-mail!

                                       (1) :(
This ain't no rodeo,cowboy,  I'm NOT sorry, and 's sure as hell ain't all right--and I can't cook worth a damn . Oh--and no sex (to speak of). Things are not as they seem...a HUGE thank you to Leslie, who helped not only get the story, er, unkinked,  but with communications with fanfiction--nearly impossible for a computer-illiterate like me.

Nobody liiks this poem over HERE; I hoped maybe someone would like it over THERE...guess it's hopeless. It's sort of suppposed to be funny, except the French soldiers are suffering so horribly...guess it's as washout. (about 135 people have tried to wade thriough it on fanfiction..dunno if they made it or not)

  New story:   The Clothes that You Once Wore, 1984

                  http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2998444/1/

This is the sequel to "Good Old Boy" and "A Day in ther Life." Many of you will find it Wrong. I disagree with you. It's still for Martha, Kevin and Michaela. Long drives can be lonely...Or educational.

I posted and then took this story down, because I thought some of the writing was bad. When I found out that a reader objected to it on moral and Brokeback taboo grounds, I immediately corrected the writing (and little bit of content), and reposted it. Nothing like a little opposition to get a riot started. Most of the inspiration for my revision came from a discovery about the way a top-of-the-line '84 Chevvy is made.

New story: And I Learned about Women from 'er, 1985"

Short, sad..funny(?). Jack comes to see Lureen once to impart some information, and then again when he realizes the information will do her no good.

Julie,
This was Freakin' Awesome!  Brilliant!  That paragraph right after Roy leaves (that's all I'll say) just came out of no where and hit me like a freight train.  I didn't see that coming at all!  I was reading this in bed and almost fell out of it!  Great job.  I loved this!  Thank you.  :)

sfericsf--praise from you is praise indeed.=. That's exactly the way i wanted that paragraph to work..sorta sneak in, and drop a ton of bricks on you!

Kea--get on the stick (actually, don't. I'm sorry you're not feeling well...didn't you just move across an ocean, or something? Yeah--you're in New Zeeland now...I wanna go there!) Story will NOT improve your mood, and probably won't do anything for your health, one way or the other.

I just want to add in that if they were to ever add more material to the movie, and re-release it as a director's cut, I would want this story included in the new movie!!!!!!!



***spoilers****




I think it would fit perfectly in between Ennis leaving the Twist house, and Junior driving up to Ennis's trailer a few years later.

Julie,

I read the story again.  It’s not a cheerful one, but a good story with effective writing.  It answered the question if Lureen knew by addressing her doubts about Jack, and a reasonable explanation to Jack’s death. Though myself prefer to have Jack’s death as ambiguous, your story makes sense too.  Thanks for sharing!  Looking forward to read more stories from you.

For the record, I think Jack's death is left COMPLETELY ambiguous...fiction-fiction is not fact-fiction.

Julie,

Interesting story.  Though I am an Ennis/Jack purist, the first summer of Jack/Jim works for me.  I was just a little bit surprised that they have only known each other for 3 hours, before err, you know.  But what do I know about “an 18-year-old kid stuck for a week with 42 rotting sheep” ;)  I like how you weaved the “Sorrow Acre” story in your story.   Your story also has laid a foundation for what we know about Jack's mother later in the story/movie. The post card from Jacob is a nice touch. Thanks for sharing the story!

Jenny, I'm thrilled that you like it at ALL! When I saw your name, I looked up your post with fear and trembling. And finally, someone mentioned "Sorrow Acre"!  Did you see my picture of "The Chariot of Apollo," by Redon (first post in this thread)?

What do YOU know? What do I know!
