I really know nothing about baseball, but even with the sports talk going straight over my head, the story had me pinned me to my seat, and I enjoyed reading it immensely. Thanks!

[blinkiesays]

Thank you! I was so worried I'd lose an alienate non-baseball people. I'm crazy happy you liked it.

[blithesea]

Really, I'm not from the US, my mind is a completely baseball-free zone (aside from that scene in Heroes where Nathan plays with the ball in his office. mmmh. ), so I'm all the more intrigued by how you managed to write so compellingly. Well done!

[perpet_fic]

Oh, god, this was so GOOD. I love the build up and the confusion and just everything about this. 100 points for the Olbermann reference [see icon].

[blinkiesays]

Thank you! This is the longest, most involved thing I've ever written ever, I'm so glad you liked it.

Also, Olbermann for the win. Seriously, I read the book he wrote with Dan Patrick like, ten years ago, that's where the anecdote came from. Solid. Gold.

[perpet_fic]

Oh, god, I love that book. I know jackshit about sports, but it's so much fun. I'm also in love with the "disembodied hand with a microphone" story.

[blinkiesays]

Bill Buckner, can you tell me what happened?

[secretpixi]

Loved it. I really appreciate an AU that is well written and can keep to the original characterizations. Thank you!

[blinkiesays]

I'm crazy glad to hear you say that. I was so worried, at the end, that I'd completely dropped anything that made them the Heroes characters we know and love. I'm also crazy glad you liked it. I'm just sort of in a crazy glad place, I think. Thank you!

LOL@ the description of cricket. Hee. I was about the same, the first time someone took the time to explain it to me. Now it makes more sense, but I can see that to people who know baseball, it's probably insane ;)

Peter wakes up the next morning and thinks, in quick succession: Oh my god, I slept with Claude Raines. Oh my god, I slept with Claude Raines. Oh my god, I slept with Claude Raines.

Love the different emphasis in each of these, and as a whole it's funny and terribly, terribly cute :)

He ends up blurting out, "I've had a picture of you up in my room since I was 13."

Oh, Peter :)

Ha, and you have meta-fandom stuff too, like Claude not driving. Hee!

Really, really enjoyed this fic. Great stuff! Compelling pacing and great characterisation and it's just really ... grabby, you know? :)

And damn it, I was really pissed off when it finished, because somehow I thought - wished - there would be MORE .... !

[blinkiesays]

Cricket is insane. It's the tea breaks that get me. :)

Also, this story is not finished! Or, well. I mean, it is. This one's finished. But the SEASON IS STILL GOING. I still yell, "come on Peter!" when a certain Cub comes up to bat. :)

We're ... *flounders* ... we're a civilised nation, is all ;)

I still yell, "come on Peter!" when a certain Cub comes up to bat. :)

*g* How IS the season going? You see, this time yesterday I didn't even care how the Cubs were doing.

fantastic! baseball is not my favorite sport moves a little slow for me but i really like this story...and the characters are spot on for me..

[blinkiesays]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it even if you don't like baseball. I'm glad you read it, not liking baseball. :)

[trippypeas]

i'll try anything with Peter and Claude...speaking off it doesn't look like you posted it on peterandclaude and you really should..it's good, if you post on there you can say that trippypeas gave it two thumbs up!!!
