I presume that's The Crying of Spamalot 49.

Apparently E. Annie Proulx is being bombarded with fan fiction (it wouldn't exactly be slash) about Brokeback Mountain. See, for example, her reaction at here. Meanwhile, Giles Foden says "If Annie Proulx didn't object to the film of Brokeback, it's hard for her to object to the fan fiction", although the article which follows the headline doesn't explore that idea as such. Presumably the film had a nice juicy cheque attached, whereas the fan fiction didn't/
Apparently the rewriters don't get her message, which is to do with how you have to stand something if you can't fix it. I've not read the story; I'm less inclined to if that is the message. I've suffered the movie - another bloody gay gothic, although the death scene is curiously detached (I don't feel the sense of anguish as, say, I do with just reading about the death of Matthew Shepherd). I felt that we should be made to care more even if the characters themselves were prevented from doing so. I think Adam Mars-Jones offers the best commentary on the film I've read - "five steps forward, four steps back" - although why the subhead calls it a "deeply personal essay" I'm not sure.
Meanwhile, the re is plenty of poster art for bad ideas for sequels.

Nothing like obscure Kentish river puns.
I must hunt for better res pictures but this demonstrates why the Saxon Shore Way is so far from the coast:
This is one, three and five meter sea level rises.
If you could click, you would be able to tell if Reculver and Richborough form the north and south entries to the channel from the Thames estuary to the English Channel, and whether Grove Ferry again needs a ferry.
It looks like the Stour is navigable beyond Fordwich (as it was around St Augustine, say C6th CE) up to Canterbury. Kewl.

Looks like this is the work of some of my colleagues. Time to network.
