Just Another Kid

[vagueangel]

Summary- Bam's known for a while that Ville has a little.. problem. But what happens when it starts getting out of control?
Rating- Mostly PG-13, but since it's me, there are NC-17 bits thrown in.
Caution- This is a bloody long story.
Right then... onward.

That was incredible. Seriously, I actually had to join the community so I could log in and post (coffinsteadoflurkingcoff)! I started reading this on bam_fic but you stopped posting there, and someone pointed me over here instead. All I can say is thank God for that!

This has been a fascinating story, psychologically and emotionally intense - honestly I'm torn between endings as to preference. This one reads more as though you intended it to be the real one, though - the piece with the tape is particularly powerful.

I don't normally like stories with endless follow-ups, as though the author doesn't know when to stop, but this has to be the first fic in a long time where I would actually love to know what happens afterwards. Whether there is a time that he ever comes back to himself and more particularly *how* and *why* and how long it takes - it's psychologically so intriguing - not to mention the way Bam or the rest of the band/his parents would respond to it. In some respects they must be so damn angry with him. (Hell, I'd love to know how the fuck he and Bam get through the ass-loads of problems the other ending leaves open!) Out of curiosity, did you ever work out what happened after/if anything happened after? I know when I'm writing I quite often mentally have years of information on what happens *after* the end, without ever putting it onto paper because, damnit, the story stopped where I ended it! *g*

Anyway, kudos to you for a damn good, very original idea, and a hell of a tale.

Man... I stopped posting on bam_fic cos... I'm just not that good. lol I didn't really work out after in my head cos.. Well, honestly, I've said it before, but this was so emotionally draining to me, that after it was done, it was just *done*. I didn't have anything left. So I just let it be. I kind of like the open-endedness though, it feels very real to me. And yes, this was definetly meant to be the real one, this is what was in my head when I started. But, fangirls and their happy endings.. lol (love you guys...) So... I mean, damn! Thanks for reading and leaving such a wonderful review!

*nod* I can understand that, the emotional drain factor. Still, I have a little quirk for fics that start *after* a story has happened, when the race is run so to speak, the aftermath of the shit hitting the fan! Damn, I'm going to be writing a 'where did it/could it go from here' mentally for the next few weeks, I can see it coming! Wretched woman for getting me caught up like this - I'm a total sucker for psychological shit.

It's funny - this works very well as the real ending, yet in some ways the way you've written Ville throughout makes a return to himself more plausible. Just perhaps not as easily as the other ending makes out. That said, you had a pretty much perfect last few lines to end that one, it just happened a little too easy *G*

Aaanyway, I should shut up now - but, um, you completely *are* good enough to keep posting on bam_fic. *rolls eyes at you* I post there :P

I couldn't be arsed to put that much effort into an ending I wasn't that fond of. Plus, whatever. It's psychological. The brain is a weird place. lol That's my excuse- er... my story, and I'm sticking to it. ^_~

LOL! Nice one. Hope you're going to write some other stuff soon anyway, be interesting to see what you come up with.
