BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN AUTHOR SAYS FANS PESTER HER

The writer of Brokeback Mountain, about the precarious love affair between two gay cowboys, says that since the movie was released in 2005 she has constantly been pestered by fans who have sent her "pornish" scripts that alter her story. "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," Annie Proulx told the Wall Street Journal. "They constantly send ghastly manuscripts and pornish rewrites of the story to me, expecting me to reply with praise and applause for 'fixing' the story. They certainly don't get the message that if you can't fix it, you've got to stand it." She added that while the film has not affected her career as a writer, it "is the source of constant irritation in my private life."
