LOLBADTINGS by mooosicaldreamz CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS - as well as excessive caps lock, swearing, references to decaf, abuse of the Spanish language, hilarity, also angels. But once you finish Bad Things you should read this because it is an AWESOME AND HILARIOUS version of all the chapters derived from many a late night conversation with Cassie on MSN.
Warnings, spoilers, disclaimers
This contains no spoilers for the main storyline in Glee, this is set in an Alternate Universe where Santana and Puck are cops, Quinn is a lawyer, Brittany is a dancer, Rachel is still Rachel and their lives have almost no connection to the canon storyline. I do not purport to own any of the characters aside from Roger Pike and Nemo.
This fic contains sex, violence, casual alcoholism and everything else cool in the world. Please enjoy.
Notes and acknowledgements:
There are a ton of people I have to thank, obviously to all the readers that stuck with this past the rocky beginning chapters and stayed along for the ride when everything went CRAY CRAY. If you lasted all 21 parts, I commend you. Especially those that came late to the party and power-read through as many as ten parts in a sitting. Well done, you guys. Thanks.
A big thank you to my beta, mooosicaldreamz who came in at the perfect time and corrected all my terrible spelling errors and misplaced commas for me. CASSIE, I legit can't thank you and your insanity enough.
Also, I would be remiss if I did not say that Cassie thinks it is of the utmost importance than when reading the epilogue you should all be listening to this. CASSIE, you're awesome. This whole fic is undoubtedly dedicated to you for sticking with me and encouraging me to get shit done. I love you! :D
Thanks also to the four artists that contributed to this fic. See: ART POST
First, dealan311. You were easily my favorite person to get comments from, I always felt like you were getting the stuff I wanted people to get out of each chapter and you made me feel like what I was writing wasn't entirely frivolous. The art you made for the fic and the fanmix are beyond fantastic. I spent a lot of time hoping my writing would prove deserving of it all. Thank you SO much. I hope you like everything else to come out of this 'verse just as much.
Secondly, to gogogorilla. Mal, you made awesome wallpaper for this fic and if my posts weren't already mega large I would have linked it up there for every chapter. It's awesome and I'm beyond flattered. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thirdly, to randowom. You made AWESOME fanart and the great icon I'm rocking and basically spent a lot of time pimping out this fic to everyone on tumblr and God knows where else. I love you for loving this fic. I hope it lived up to all the love. ;)
Fourthly, to letscall_l. Thank you SO MUCH for the awesome late-edition fanart you gave me. It's an awesome end cap to have on the art post and I love it so much! I love having something for the epilogue, it's one of my favorite parts! :D
Anyway. Lastly, I want to thank all those on Tumblr and twitter that listened to me whine about google docs and character limits and html being a bitch. Thanks for not unfollowing me and humoring me through my insanity. Thanks especially to Nug, Tams, Luz, Ashers, Shish Kebab, Amy and Chelsea for being particularly entertaining both on MSN late at night and on Tumblr at all hours of the day. THANKS GUYS, I love you, GROUP HUG (even though I know some of you don't read this...). I'd list out all your lj usernames but I'm super lazy right now.
Thanks guys!
