Hey :) Are there any Jim/John fics out there from the 1986 Hitcher movie? After watching that diner scene scream sex for the umpteenth time I'm itching for some fic. Problem is, I can't find a clue one's ever been written ;X

I once read a Hitcher fic, but it was some crazy-weird ghost!John thing and it was generally terrible -__- But I totally agree there needs to be some GOOD fic for this movie STAT. I was totally floored by the gay when I first saw it and have been craving fic ever since lol

[missaffliction.livejournal.com]

Haha! I know, the gay is just so obvious! I don't understand how there can be no good fic out there for it! I'd write one myself, but to be honest, I can't finish a fic longer than a decent length one-shot ;x

All I can find is fic for the 2007 Hitcher movie-- the one they sucked all the gay out of by giving Jim a girlfriend =P

I'd write fic for it too but I'm entirely too lazy and preoccupied with school lol.

I refuse to acknowledge the existence of the 2007 version. I love Sean Bean, but just from what I've read about it they COMPLETELY butchered it, especially by giving Jim a damn girlfriend. It's like they completely missed the entire point of the original ><

I know! I never watched the 2007 Hitcher after I read a summary and responded with, "UGHHH, NOOOOOO!!!!" >:'[
I saw the cast list after that and Sean Bean DID almost convince me watch to it, but I still refuse =P

Aaaaaw! I LOVE it!! :D

I think my favorite line was: He looks to the gun nearly as adoringly as he does Jim.

YOU WIN AT LIFE!

I love the end line, I think it gets into John's head perfectly! :D

This is really late, but I happened upon your entry on my own quest to find Hitcher fic. I looked on Small Fandom Fest and Archive of Our Own, dived into The Pit of Fanfiction.Net and then finally flat out Googled for it. I found one, but it's the same ghost one that someone else mentioned in the comments. A bit disappointing.

I'm pimping the movie for Small Fandom Fest, but we don't really have a comm for it. Suggestions or comments?

[missaffliction.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, even though that kind of fic must just not exist, I cannot thank you enough for looking so hard.
I still never did find one or I would have posted it here.

'The Pit of Fanfiction.net'

I never say this ever, but: LOLZ. That is so apt.

All I can say for this movie is made of frakking AMAZING acting and WOW sexual tension. At least I think =P
It's definitely time to rewatch. Oh, Rutger Hauer <3.

Hilariously, after getting into a bit annoyed at not finding Hitcher fic (I do a lot of things when I'm annoyed), I'm about 5,000 words into writing one right now. I can't believe that movie doesn't have any fic, but then again, it was panned by a lot of critics for no discernible reason when it came out. The way I look at it, Hitcher has a lot of similarities to No Country For Old Men (without the peerless Rutger Hauer, of course), and that film did wonderfully with the critics. *shrug* Critics.

In the meantime, maybe my post on Small Fandom Fest will attract some fans bearing fic.

Also, just wrote up a promo for The Hitcher as a Small Fandom Fest Pimp post here: http://smallfandomfest.livejournal.com/423313.html

Great missing scene from the movie! Thank you!

[missaffliction.livejournal.com]

Yay, exciting :) :). Please let us all know when you complete your fic, I'd love to read :)

This has been a long time coming. I wrote a Hitcher fic for the second 2013 Small Fandom Bang. Thanks to missaffliction for the wonderful beta work!
