This story just started, and there is only one chapter so far, but it's a quite interesting premise:

This is what's on the first entry on her livejournal:

Fic: "Storm of Shadows" (J/E) by neuontz
Title: Storm of Shadows
Author: neuontz
Pairing: Ennis/Jack
Rating: R
Category: This is an AU wild west/outlaw-type fic.
Disclaimer: The characters Ennis and Jack are the property of Annie Proulx. I’m making no money and intend no copyright infringement.
Notes: I got the idea for this fic last year in early September, when I came across a pic someone posted of a rangy Heath Ledger with a cigarette in his mouth and an “I dare ya” look in his eye. I just had to take a stab at writing an Ennis like that.

I don’t do warnings well; one reason is I’m trying to develop a sense of warning in the fic itself as I build up to the end, and everyone is certainly free to bail whenever they feel uncomfortable. I’m going to try to make this fic entertaining, in my fashion, but in deference to readers who appreciate it, here’s my sincere warning: how do most outlaws end up?

This first chapter is a public entry, but the following chapters will be probably be friends-only, so if you’re not on my friend's list, let me know if you'd like to keep reading after that point. In light of recent events here, please don't share this story with anyone not on my friends list. You know the deal.

First chapter:

Yes, it's very interesting, Mel. Very well written with a lot of subtexts that make you think, which I love. There are two chapters so far. I believe this is the same writer who wrote "Green Eyes" which I heard about but haven't read.

Yeah, I just realised that too! I haven't read Green Eyes either, I've heard about it though. I just left a message on her/his journal to ask her/him (chances are it's her, right, I'll stick with her) if it's OK that I started a thread here because I am not sure, 'cause she's friendlocked (that's gonna be a new verb soon...

) her journal.

I have to chime in here and say this is without a doubt one of the best BBM fan fics ever written or being written as it were. That last chapter was indescribable in its richness. I only wish I could have left an adequate comment, I am terrible at telling authors just how much their works mean to me especially a story and a chapter as good as this.

I have many fascinations with the Wheeling/Jack dynamic.

No matter what, I find it is a brave author to write this, to use this time period and write it so flawlessly it almost seems as if he or she lived there and still does. It's truly one of the best. A highly recommended read.

I still have to catch up with the last two chapters... might do that now...

"Richness" is a very good description! And there are so many fascinating dynamics in this story - it keeps you thinking long after you've stopped reading. I agree about the authenticity - in fact, I mentioned to the author that she must have lived in the Wild West in a previous life.

LOL! Welllllll, through the excruciating pain I was able to clear my head to read this and I loved it, especially how the characters are built and the Jack and Ennis are so different from canon Jack and Ennis, and I seem to enjoy that more lately. That 'scene' in the brothel was hot, they really could've just gotten rid of the girls, couldn't they? LOL.

. I am so upset. I lost her friending when I had a glitch at livejournal, and have had to ask everyone I read to refriend me. I cant get in...please dear girl if you read this ....refriend me so I can read the rest of your story... and its wonderful to have you back with us..I loved your first story as you know...and i am sure this will be as good. Janice.....open open open

louisev · « **Reply #9 on:** September 11, 2007, 04:03:28 pm »

try emailing her at [email protected] and she shoudl get a notification.

ifyoucantfixit · « **Reply #10 on:** September 11, 2007, 04:56:03 pm »

Thanks Louise. I have put this request everywhere but on the bathroom wall. So I am hopeful that it will get me there...

louisev · « **Reply #11 on:** September 11, 2007, 05:03:23 pm »

she will receive it with her other livejournal notifications. but you will have to tell her your new Livejournal name.

Also, if you are continuing to have Livejournal problems you might want to ask their support for some help in figuring out how to avoid losing your account access.

ifyoucantfixit · « **Reply #12 on:** September 11, 2007, 05:15:33 pm »

I have asked them all three times now...to no response. I sent my new name, and my old one as well to her. The reason it keeps happening is a major puzzle to me...it happens about every four to five months...I never log off. I have never changed anything until they make me do it in order to gain access. In the past it was not really that big an issue except for a nuisance value...Now however with everyone placing the friendslock on their stories. It is a major issure...

mariez · « **Reply #13 on:** September 12, 2007, 12:58:26 pm »

I hope it all works out, Janice!

Janice, I did tell Neuontz about the fact that I created a thread for her story here, and she was happy to hear that, so I hope she might log in here once or twice and she might see your message here. I think she is active on DC, so if you have an account there, you can probably PM her there.

We are so blessed with the high quality of fic authors in the BBM world. Personally for me, NZ is my favourite. If you can, do check out GE but with prior warning it is “out there” even for an AU!AU! Also she has done a couple of canon pieces that are beautiful. I was stunned with her use of language & even though I consider myself someone who likes & enjoys reading in general, I can’t remember reading anything which gave me such a strong reaction, or actually range of reactions.

SoS (love the acronym!) is coming along very well. I’m watching Deadwood on DVD at the moment & it’s helping to supplement the vivid imagery even though I’m not sure if it’s the same time period. But of course NZ’s material does not need supplementing, as it is indeed rich enough on so many levels already.

Hey, isn't it time for a new chapter?

nic · « **Reply #17 on:** October 16, 2007, 07:55:13 pm »

It's always a good time for a new chapter of a good BBM fic !

I'll be making some a feedback comment on the latest SoS soon, which is late, but maybe this will help prompt a new instalment.

does anyone know if there´s anywhere I can read Neuontz´s fan fics? Or has she/he taken them all down?

They are friendslocked as far as I know...

I just checked and, although I'm still listed as a mutual friend to neuontz, I'm unable to access the journal. I'm not sure if that means the stories have been taken down or have just been made inaccessible - but, in any event, the number of entries is listed as zero, and there doesn't appear to be any way to read them. $:-\$

I think she removed her journal entries
