i might be able to help you if you could direct me to your original source. i *think* i saw that post too. i think annie was just kvetching about all the madness surrounding bbm. people rewriting the story, sending her stuff, obsessing over it, plus all the references to BBM as if it's the only work she's done that counts. i think when she goes anywhere, the questions always turn to brokeback... you know, usual stuff that happens when you write something and it really stands out. in this case, it probably stood out mostly because the movie that followed her story was so fucking good. 
not saying that the short story isn't amazing, but you know how it goes. it "blows up"...
Moreover,
1) AP expressed other regrets over writing BBM, had in fact become fed up with the
resentment/slights/gratuitous condemnation that she received from some groups of Wyoming-ites, e.g., the 'upright citizens brigades,' regarding the tortured picture her work painted about the state's denizens, particularly its ranchers... I believe she cited their 'abysmal behavior towards her as one of the factors in her decision to leave her beloved Wyoming...
-Seems ironic to me that the person who brought the poison of
DRH to the forefront managed to get a taste of it, herself (?!)
2) Another change for AP was
her attitude toward fiction writers who fall in love with their characters, which she originally thought was disgusting (don't recall the exact term she used).. AP later recanted, admitting in an interview that she had indeed fallen hopelessly in love her own characters, with, not one, but both BBM leads...
3) AP never regretted writing the story, or so she says, but later she came to regard it as a completely-closed chapter in her career, and wouldn't even consider writing a
sequel/screenplay, not for love or money.. -She told Charlie Rose (?) that the whole process was just too hard on her and she felt she needed to leave BBM and move on... She wasn't a screenplay artist or a director (-what if she was? -- would that have made any difference?)...
4) There were other factors, too, I can't recall them at the moment...
maybe it's like this: if i were a gay artist and spent years painting male nudes, and i did a female nude, and that single painting catapulted me to fame, and the image wound up on calendars and playing cards everywhere, and there were spin offs and spoofs.... and then, model that made it famous died....... i would probably be a bit irked. 
-Good analogy!
