I hope you're not dead today but man was that worth the lack of sleep. Just gorgeous and so very REAL. I love your characterization of Lint.

Tonight his disappointment had been turned into exhilaration, tonight he'd felt the rush of adrenaline that came with being on stage in front of enthusiastic fans for the first time, and nothing could be wrong tonight.

Perfect.

Actually I managed to get about five good hours of sleep, so I have not sacrificed too much for zee art. I'm glad you enjoyed it though, thank you!

So effing GUH. I don't even know what, went through fucking everything that did but I guess the last place I arrived at was pride. For my local scene and all the bands I know should go far and hopefully wil one day. Weird place to end at but y'know, they're my boys.

But anyway. Yeah, fucking...you know it's awesome. Took it all over the place. Brilliant.

Never let the punk rock die.

That's a great place to end up at! Definitely not what I was going for but I can see where you'd get that. And it is awesome. Support your local punk rock scene through SLASH. Thank you!

[punk_in_chains]

*Grins* Thanks to that, you know I'm now going to end up writing local punk rock slash. And they're going to find and be all, "Teh fuck is this?" but they'll love it anyway because they're all terribly homoerotic.

Seriously though dude. I'm going to end up writing Mapatazi Bob and Fast Reaction slash. [You should totally check them out by the way, the Bob at least. Not sure if you'd like FR, they're more pop rock than anything, but the Bob are golden punk rock n roll. Anyways, they're on MySpax.]

But yeah, I am going to do that. Support my local punk rock scene by slash. ie I'll write slash for them, get people to read it, and then people will be all, "Hey, I'll check out the bands now," and then they'll all have fans from all over the place! Whee I'm a bit too overexcited methinks.

I think I've recruited many'a Pistol Grip fan through slash, so it's not a bad idea at all! Chase (ex, and reinstated guitarist) found Riott's roleplay journal for Stax and asked her what it was all about, so she wrote him back about the roleplay AND about fan fiction, very detailed. Chase actually thought it was great and said we kicked ass for doing it. It was a shock, I never would have had the balls to reply the way she did.

Oh my God, that was really really amazing! I love the whole feeling and emotions that you get in there, and also the speech you give Lint - it's awesome, and real.

OMG. I love it. Awesome! I love the ending, and how it kind of describes why Billie's getting kids up on stage and singing Knowledge now. Love it!

[leecherous]

Eeeee! That's awesome that you liked it so much. Lint dialect is fun to write, even if I end up making him sound like a total moron. Yeah, I thought I'd tie that all in together though I have no idea if they've done the Knowledge bit at every show, seems to be homage to the band that sorta started them off either way. Thank you!

*gasps* I love this. Best pairing ever :D And how Billie's all young and excited and yay - I love it.

My favorite part was probably when Lint said "rekkids." HA. That's so rad.

The last paragraph got me though. Beautiful work.

Added to memories.

[leecherous]

Ha! Can't you just hear him saying it so perfectly though? It's probably bad how easily Lint/Leech dialect comes to me, next think I know I'll be leaving random letters out in the body text. Thanks for reading and enjoying!

[leecherous]

God lookit those boys. Eeeeone of my favorites, too. Pairings, that is, it'd be rather self absorbed of me to say I'm my favorite author. Thank you!
