Oh my gosh, this is AMAZING. I really love how you got all that anger out there, how you made it so that they didn't win (didn't even place!), and what I love best is how you really got down how music is such a hugely important part of adolescence, especially when it's shitty. Your writing is beautiful, I love how crisp-yet-bitten-off it feels. I feel like this is the girl Brendon fic I've wanted to read all my time in bandom - putting her into the middle of the riot grrl scene is just right. Thank you for writing this, and thank you for sharing. ♥
Oh my god, I love this comment. I've been kind of staring at it for a few days and clutching my hands and grinning at my computer trying to figure out what to reply, but I just want to say thank you for taking the time to read this and leave such a lovely, thoughtful comment. ♥
Thank you so much! I'm glad my girl!Brendon came off effectively. A big part of her is influenced by me in high school, so that means a lot that it wasm't horribly out of character and self-centered ♥
This is fantastic! I loved every second of reading it. It was quite painful at points but it always came across as real. The anger was brought across fantastically and I it was really, forgive the cliche, empowering to watch Brendon move from tired and lonely to independent and secure in herself.

oh my goodness, girl! this was PERFECT. i can't even articulate it but this story was just so fantastic and raw and real and spot-on. i'm not even a Like fan and i loved watching z/tenn together. it was just flawless and lovely. great work. ♥
Hi! I feel kind of bad that its been so long since we talked but I was stalking your Lj and couldn't help myself. This fic is awesome and made me feel all righteously indignant. I guess it reminds me of being so confused and then being made at my family because I felt like I had to say I was straight even though I didn't know. I think my aunt's probably still think I can't keep secrets from them but they're also the last major people in my life who aren't aware I read gay sex on the internet because I feel like i can't tell them and that's not fair to me or anyone else involved.
