okay, here's the thing. i'm semi-asleep right now (afternoon fatigue!) and thus i prolly won't make much sense, but i want to let you know that i really, really loved this.

your style is so beautiful. flames licking the sky. fuck you. amazingly done.
the single shots. the photos. the carefulness with which ryan works the camera. everything. the landscapes, the tour, the summer, the people, the musicians, the sounds, the images i got.

and i love the fact that you didn't use any capital letters, because unf e. e. cummings sure as hell knew how to take away the self-given importance of certain words. here i just love how everything flows into one huge thing, one fill roll, every shot equal in some way, but totally unique.

oh, you. youyouyou are incredible, jesus. the things you say mean so much to me, you have no idea. you make every word so much more worthwhile. thank you, from the bottom of my hrt. <3

i think the thing that i love most about this, besides the small, warm feeling it gives me deep in my gut, is the way that you utilized the words all in lowercase.

i used to write stories like that-- i felt like it looked the most tentative and small but powerful-- like the emphasis was creeping up on you. i always got the impression that people in fandom were turned off by those who didn't capitalize their works, but maybe i'll start up again. now that i've remembered truly how much it meant to me.

when i start writing, i think that, on some level, sometimes i just realize subconsciously that in the end it's going to be something bigger than a couple rules of correct grammar, and then the whole thing pours out this way and i can't imagine going back and doing it differently, doing it the correct way, whatever that means.

thank you, <3
