One More Brokeback Mountain Rec

Mar 18, 2017 20:04

I've spent the last several days completely engrossed in a couple of novel-length Brokeback Mountain stories. I am usually pretty wary of fanfic as long as this -- the first one is 274,000 words, and the sequel is 244,000 words -- because in my experience stories this long usually don't need to be this long and would benefit from a good editor. But ( Read more... )

Thanks for the recs. *goes to investigate* :-)

It's a big time commitment, but it did suck me in. Hope you like it too. :)

Did her name use to be (I think) something like jennastats? She sure sounds familiar. I've definitely heard of this fic and I thought I had (maybe?) read it but I don't remember the description. I think I'm confusing it with Somebody New, which is on my Nook and bingo! I just Googled her and the fic and she wrote Somebody New, which I started reading again last year.

This sounds like something I'd like to read. There's nothing more I love than getting deeply engrossed in a story.

I'm fence sitting on the WIP status. I hate investing the time reading a story only to be left hanging in the end. I'll download it to my Nook and give it a shot. I'm still in the honeymoon phase with my new fandom (Shameless) and devouring every piece of Gallivich fanfic I can find on AO3.

Thanks for the rec! I'm so happy it's on AO3 so I can download it to my Glowlight. It's so user friendly :)

Aaahh, I have seen reference to that fic but can't find it online! Do you have it in a format that you could send me? (Like a PDF or something?)

Yeah, I hate WiPs, but this thing had so many kudos, and I figured that even if the series isn't finished that each book would be its own self-contained thing, which is true (especially for the first part).

I don't even know what Shameless is...movie? TV series? *clueless*

I had to pull out my old Nook and I do have Somebody New (and part of Forces of Nature) as a .pdf ( ... )

Thank you so much! I just sent you an email. *bounces*

And thanks for telling me about Shameless. It does sound like something I would like, unless it's really dark? I don't have Netflix, but maybe I could see if our library system has it on DVD. Could be a fun summer marathon (I have a couple of trips coming up this spring).
