I wrote a challenge response for nialla42; Go me!

Challenge: "Aliens didn't make them do it... but now that you mention it, that's a damned interesting idea." Bonus points if you can put in a tattoo reference -- either one of the guys has one, or it's part of the "aliens didn't make them do it" ceremony.

First challenge ever: If you loved Willimakee, or For Each Ecstatic Instant or Rounded with a Sleep, you need to go find a copy of the short story Brokeback Mountain. It's Annie Proulx, and primarily in the collection Close Range, though nialla42 has several other anthologies she knows of that it will be in.

You don't have to go right now, as many of us work or go to school (or both) or have lives or whatnot... but sometime (and may I suggest today? At least before the movie based on this comes out in December) you should stop by the bookstore, the library or your best friends who has every book under the sun's house and get your hands on this story. I read it last night and it is HAUNTING me. So heartrendingly lovely.
