Saga - AU!AU triple drabble

Apr 07, 2009 14:54

Brokeback AU!AU drabble (300 words). Jack and Ennis in the time of the vikings. Rated PG. No warnings.

Disclaimer: Jack, Ennis and Brokeback Mountain do not belong to me, but to Annie Proulx, Diana Ossana, Larry McMurtry and Focus Features. I make no profit of any kind except for the inspiration I find in thinking and writing of Jack and Ennis.

I likes this a lot! Would love to read more of this.

Thank you. Well, I'll never say never about writing more, but I find the prospect of figuring out all the necessary historic backstory and -facts very daunting, so it'll be a long shot I'm afraid.

Very interesting ! It must be true what you say - a historic fic being difficult to write because of all the research needed, probably the reason why very few are written. Thank you !

Glad you liked it. I'd like to *read* a BBM fic in this historic context... but actually writing one *would* require a lot of work, I think.

If you ever decided to continue this, I would certainly read it! I've pondered doing a historical fic, but it would just be too much work! I admire anybody who can do it. :)

I agree - I'd admire anybody who could do full-fledged historic fics. That would take so much work!
Thank you very much for reading and liking the little drabble though! :-)

Wow! Well, I can see where this would be difficult and time consuming to write, but I'm very intrigued by it :)

Glad it intriegued you! I think the historic period and cultural backstory have got BBM au-au potential. A lot of cross-cultural conflicts, in a violent time of upheavals, but one thing the two cultures did have in common: Homosexuality wasn't accepted in either. :-/

liked this a lot. understand how difficult it would be to write a full fledged fiction in this universe, but oh that it could happen!

Thank you for reading, I'm glad you liked it and would like to read more!
