"There are countless people out there who think the story is open range to explore their fantasies and to correct what they see as an unbearably disappointing story.

"Brokeback Mountain has had little effect on my writing life, but is the source of constant irritation in my private life."

-- Annie Proulx, on Brokeback Mountain slash.
