She may even see this and be able to give you a current link.

Arwensong actually has a story based on the book "The Front Runner." It is still a wip. Here's her series page.

It's called "For Love of Justin." I know it has nothing to do with a movie, but if you don't know about it, you might like it.

Later!

It does sound a lot like Queer Theories, but I definitely reccommend reading it, even if it isn't. However, word of warning, QT is extremely long, and extremely, extremely addicting!
