Hi all,

I'm here because one of my LJ communities has a member here who keeps talking it up and I thought I'd come over and see what all the excitement is about.

I went to Brokeback the first night it was out here with my friends and though they liked it, they weren't as crazy about it as I was by a long shot. I read the book that week too and was blown away by the imagery it created. I saw it 3 more times in the theatre, and of course bought the DVD. I watch it often.

I am a Gyllenhaalic, so of course am a fan of Jack Nasty, more than Ennis, but I do believe that this was Heath Ledger's greatest role to date. He was awesome!

I just wrote my first Brokeback fic on LJ, and it went over quite well, but love reading other people's fics, and do so on a daily basis. I also have done some Brokeback music vids on youtube.

Anyhow, hoping to meet some new friends and let the fun begin!
Cheers!

Welcome, Nikki66. You sound like perfect fodder for our Slash thread, "The Juicy Bits", where we discuss fanfic, share fanfic links, and frantically dish out e-drinks along with friendship. Hope to see you there. As an LJ-er, myself, I think coming here was one of the best things I've done with myself on the internet. I hope you grow to feel the same.

Hi.  I go by Curley which is my family nickname.  I was born and raised on the family Texas ranch.  I have been a member for a little while and after reading postings for this time, I decided it was finally time to jump in.  I have been posting on the "How Brokeback Affected Me" thread. 

This forum has some really fantastic people.  I am still trying to read and figure out some of the other threads.  The fanfic sounds like one I will definitely be checking out.

Thanks to all of you for allowing this country boy to be a part of this.

Hello All

I have just checked back and discovered I actually found and registered on this site at the beginning of March, yet this is my first post. I have visited often and find every post I have read to be intelligent and welcoming and so I have finally decided to jump in and join the rest of you dear obsessed BBM fans.

I am a mid 40's straight female from the North East of England who is completely and utterly devoted to the story of Jack and Ennis. I first saw the movie on January 6th in the cinema with my daughter and went back again twice with a different group of friends each time to relive the most extraordinary film experience I have ever had.
This movie tears me apart every time I see it ( now into double figures after the purchase of the DVD in April) and I so desperately need to talk about it with other like minded souls. No one else I know has been affected by this movie as I have.
All of my friends family and workmates know of my fixation but none of them can respond to me in the way that I need them too. It is now August and this story is not going to let me go any time soon so here I am.

Welcome biteme - lots of us Brits here on the board (go to the International Zone and introduce yourself over on the Brits thread - they'll make you welcome) then dive straight in.

biteme,

There is actually a BBM gettogether in London.  Click on the link below and if you can make it, you will be able to actually meet and hug a bunch of people who are in the same place you are.  Good luck know that you are not alone.
