1) You and your sis are sick fucks. :)
2) You and your sis are sick fucks. :)
3) This is a work of sheer evil genius.
4) I'm going to make Ralph read it. (He loves the Beatles.)
5) Really, totally serious about that sick fucks thing.

Thank you for making a dreary, rainy afternoon at work a deliciously twisted one.

AHAHAHAHAAHHAHHHAHHAH

I tell you, Kate -- between the two of us, we've posted a lot of stuff over our fandom careers, but this is the first time we've ever been SO GODDAMN NERVOUS about posting! The whole thing is so much our self-indulgent baby, for a while we wondered if it would even make sense to anybody else, heh. I am so so thrilled that you liked it, especially to the point of making Ralph read it and calling us sick fucks. What higher praise could a serial killer story elicit?!?!?

Thank youuuuuu!

*PREENING*

Oh no, wait....

...no but seriously - THIS IDEA. IT JUST HAPPENED. OUT OF OUR CONTROL. Heeee, and I love every single bit of this feedback, thank you!

It's always the quiet ones you have to look out for

[bossymarmalade]

BLESS YOU MELIS

We really really wanted to make the characterization believable and recognizable, so thank you a zillion times for that! And you are spot on about what we wanted George to be in the story, too -- the quiet one nobody suspects, who keeps escalating stuff nonetheless. eeeee!

As for the art I will just have to agree with you that it is BRILL. Or gear fab, if you like. *g*

Thank you so much, a supernova of thanks!

[melisus]

Especially with a fandom like this... well... anything involving real people, the characterization can make or break it. But this was so damn good! You've made me afraid of George Harrison, you know! I always knew he was a creeper!

Gear fab indeed.

Also, I read your Yuletide fic for the Beatles. How are you so awesome? Seriously?

[biblio_filia]

Hi! I checked this out on the suggestion of melisus, and this was fantastic. The writing is gorgeous and unique (as is the concept, but I think that goes without saying). I got totally hooked and was so glad to be pulled into your fascinatingly skewed Beatles universe. I love love love the art, all of it, but especially the art of George with his sitar. I would gladly hang that on my wall, although it'd be out of its rightful context. I also somehow also happened upon your Yuletide fic last night and enjoyed that immensely as well. I echo melisus in my sentiments that you are damn good. I do kind of feel too weird about George to listen to any of his music right now though...

[glockgal]

Seriously, G, I never thought it possible to relive my Beatles obsession in the same way I did when I was a teenager; but as sister pointed out to me: back then we had reedy video tapes and CD players and library books. Now we have internet and communities and Rock Band and digital sound. THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING.

*flails*

THANK YOU SO MUCH, DARLING.

[bossymarmalade]

DOLLFACE

Thank you so much for saying such gorgeous things! *Especially* if you're not even loony for Beatles like we are, ahahahah. You are the best.

[glockgal]

You are SO sweet to read it and I'm really glad you enjoyed both the fic and the art, thank you so much! *MWAH*

[bossymarmalade]

Thank you so much for this kind, wonderful comment and for the rec! I squeed aloud when I saw it, eeeeee!

[rydra_wong]

OMFG. I know next to nothing about the Beatles (apart from the fact that they weren't serial killers IRL), but wow.

Wow.

The story the art the everything. This isn't self-indulgent at all; it's professional-quality multimedia awesomeness.

Also really creepy, and I mean that as a compliment.

[glockgal]

AHHHH thank you so much for taking the time to read it - and I'm really happy to know that even without knowing much about the Beatles, you still got something from it, this is just such wonderful feedback to read!

KJDFHKDJFH we did labour over its presentation. Your comments mean a LOT. Thank you so very much!

[bossymarmalade]

apart from the fact that they weren't serial killers IRL

ahahahahaah AWESOME

And thank you so much for such lovely feedback; it's super-exciting to get words of praise from people who aren't even Beatles freaks!

[rydra_wong]

Well, I'm pretty sure they weren't. But after reading this, I'm quite prepared to find out that this is one of the embarrassing gaps in my knowledge of popular culture.
