NOT GONNA LIE I was so scared to post that I almost didn't. I'm still preparing for someone to come out with a pitchfork to damn me to hell for writing RPF. RPS. Whatthefuckever.

(p.s. I have pre-prepared for Monteith Monday. I'm treating it like the HOLIEST OF DAYS. /sacrilege )

Re: <333

[carolinecrane]

Well you'll have to get in line behind me, because I have written RPS about more than just these two idiots. Hell, I've written RPS about crab fishermen. TRUE STORY.

Monteith Monday! It makes going to work tomorrow a little less painful. Granted, I had to work today, so maybe I should have posted his ridiculous face a day early. (I spent my Sunday work day writing Kurt/Puck porn. It helped pass the time.)

[mavilous]

You have the best true stories. I could listen to them all FOREVER. *creep*

Eww, work on a Sunday? :( I'm sorry! Porn Sunday, Monteith Monday. Sounds like a winning line-up! I literally just lost about half an hour looking up Cory videos for the purpose of Monteith Monday, then kinda forgot what I was doing after like, video 500.

*uses appropriate icon*

*keeps searching for the "MORE" link*

something's wrong... there has to be more!

please? *wibbles*

[mavilous]

I don't even know what to say!! Except that your icon is TOTALLY appropriate! <3 And... omg, I'm so easy, there might be more on the way, but I can't say when.

Thanks so much for reading!!

[deviant_dev]

heh! You are very welcome! There's not enough Mark/Chris RPS in this fandom, and it's a shame really. I'm currently working on one based off the scene in "Original Songs" where Puck(I say Mark) was all emotional and teary-eyed while watching Kurt(I say Chris, lol) sing on stage for Regionals, lol. ;)

[mavilous]

That scene made me laugh and scrunch my nose in amusement, ngl. xD I wonder if they tell them to improvise for the audience shots or what, because we get some prime Mark/Puck-face. It's fantastic fandom-fodder!

[mrs_sakuma]

so through this fic i managed to pin down the name of every main cast member. i always feel guilty reading RPF and i refuse to write it, but this was fantastic. i was a little 'ah!' when mark and chris didn't hook up at the end, but really, this direction felt much more realistic (and hopeful/promising) than a 'happy' ending would have. great job.~

[mavilous]

I thought I had dropped every name and then realized I'd forgotten Jane Lynch. I'm ridonk ashamed of myself because of that!

That's how I used to feel about RPS/RPF, but there are some genuinely well-written ones out there that changed my mind about them (and how I viewed them). Thank you so much for reading this, guilt and all (hee)-- it's so flattering! ♥ ♥ ♥

[mrs_sakuma]

yeah, i've read some good ones that feel true to the people, but it just makes me a little uncomfortable, knowing they're real people. i mean, what if i got famous and people started writing stuff like this about me? i mean, it would be flattering, but i would never be able to look at my friends again. i read one fic about darren having read RPF about the glee members prior to joining the cast and volunteering to hunt people down on set in hopes of catching them having sex/getting to join in.

it was funny but it brings to mind the fact that...that literally COULD have happened... it's weird.

anyway, i loved the name dropping, but i didn't even realize that jane was the only one missed. i actually learned lauren and will's actors' names through this (because i'm a bit of epic fail like that; it took me forEVER to figure out who harry was, too, but by this i knew and now i'm rambling...).

uh... yeah. anyway, great fic, glad you're flattered that i read despite my guilt!!~

[ladyrocketdale]

the last line owns me, badly.

loved it :) very fun to read, a lovely work easy to enjoy.

[mavilous]

Yee! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's so flattering to hear. Thanks so much for reading! <3

[liveyourstory]

Whatever fingers!!! :D

Normally I probably wouldn't read this kind of thing, but I'm glad I did. This was great, I thoroughly enjoyed it. And although mistyping a text sounds like something I would do (and have done), I bet Chris panicked when Mark didn't text back so quickly added "*miss you guys. stupid phone" to stave off embarrassment. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

Other favourite parts!

Amber figured out his plan, told him she knew what he was up to, but let him do it anyway because she liked the attention
^This made me giggle so much, AND it was just too adorable

He forbids Mark from asking about the freaky Marie Antoinette painting leaning against it before they start
^Is this something he sleep-bought? (please tell me you know what I'm talking about...) Because, lol.

Darren laughs from his place right in front of the T.V^this. this. ls;dkfsdh I love this mental image so much. I imagine him sitting like inches from the screen, with his arms wrapped around his legs and ankles crossed...either that, or like the

[mavilous]

I'm so-so glad you did read it! I'm surprised I wrote it because normally RPF makes me nervous, even if I do enjoy the rare few here and there. It became like an exercise in writing characters based on people, though, so it doesn't even bother me anymore. I'm ecstatic that you caught the Whatever Fingers, because I was serious when I told you I wrote them for you. It worked out even better that Darren was the only one I could picture doing them (well, could have used Ashley, but I thought of Darren and his pink sunglasses and penny-loafers for some reason, and well... there you have it!).

Is this something he sleep-bought? UM YES. LOL. Whether it was a joke or not, I haaad to slip that in there

[liveyourstory]

I couldn't resist! I can never decide if I enjoy RPF...on the one hand, when it's well-written it's sweet and it's nice to imagine it happening IRL, but at the same time there's part of me going "but. These are real people, is this weird??"

a;djfkdhdg I loved the Whatever Fingers part, ty XDD I could see Ashley doing it too, actually, but it pleases me that it's Darren here :3

ilu even more for including that painting, negl. :3

And I love that you've done so much research for this, lmfao, and I'm glad I picked up on some of the stuff! You slip it in very subtley, which I think makes it a bit more realistic :)

YOU ARE NOT AN EMBARRASSMENT :/ Look, you even have the Kurt(Chris) stamp of approval:
