ain't that close to love

Within like a week of finishing Strays, the incredibly obvious occurred to me in form of the question: where the hell is Billy Beane in the hooker AU that features every other regular

More baseball fic from you! How timely. Will come back with a proper comment tomorrow. :>

i keep starting baseball fic and then leaving it to founder. billy beane's pov of 'revisionist history' stalled at like ten thousand words, i was so upset. (it's still gonna happen, goddamn it.) trying to improve in this and all things.

New content!!! I was afraid your journal was going to disappear again, after the Deadspin article :/

You're very sneaky. I am generally against reading about Billy Beane unless he is finally getting what he deserves, but you know Strays is possibly the best thing ever written, and I can't stay away. Also, Empire shoutout? I'm sold!

Will read this later when I'm not on my way to work...

so, dude! i am mildly freaked out by that deadspin thing. all printing the pseud and posting snippets of fic--i would get on them about using my stuff without permission, but probably wouldn't be able to keep a straight face if challenged to validate the past eight years of writing other people's characters.

but, anyway. hope you like this little add-on. zeane makes the world go round.

i forget on occasion that i made up that nickname for chavvy, and that if i yell it at the ballpark or put it on a sign, no one will know what the eff i'm talking about. it's just so perfect for him! and, of course, for dear heartbroken rentboy zito as well.

Oh god, hooker fic is pretty much my number one all-time favorite guiltiest pleasure. It goes without saying that it made my day, reading this.

"Jesus," and Billy's hands made a frustrated grasping shape, "I seriously don't know how you've survived this long with that fucking mouth on you."

That was an easy one, and Zito showed a lazy purposeful smile, licking his lips. "It's 'cause I also use it for things other than talking."

Total win right there.

hooooker fic. you don't know how excited i was to actually be writing hooker fic. i felt like it was my trial by which i became a genuine fanficcer, not just a poser. and now i like it so much that it keeps getting add-ons, which is only for the best. thanks very much for reading.

loving rentboy!zito can never be wrong, only differing degrees of right! so i tell myself, anyways.
