LIKE, FULL DISCLOSURE, THESE COMMENTS ACTUALLY MADE ME CRY LAST NIGHT. I mean in my defense it was about 5am when I got them and, you know, ALL THE DRAMA and then 'Wouldn't It Be Nice' had me in an intensely emotional state, BUT. SO LOVELY. *FLAILYHANDS* THANK YOU.
First of all, so glad you gave this a chance despite being wary about the het. Like, I know so many people are just going to skip RIGHT over this as soon as they see 'OFC' so I'm glad you didn't. And LOL I KNOW, I needed to set this next year for reasons but I kept thinking "hahahaha as if Harry and Louis would have spent THAT LONG without addressing their feelings" but like, it just needed to be that way for the sake of the plot?
I agree that it's weird that there aren't more groupie stories, but it's probably because they DO find trustworthy girls? But yeah, when I started really thinking about it I realised how fucking hard that would be, and so STRESSFUL, because man, you just want to get laid but you have to try work out if it's going to end up damaging your career first. And ugh I gave myself ALL the Louis feels with this. I spent a good few days being like "aaaugh I want to write this prompt but Louis/girls LOL NO" and then I found a way to work around it and got all emotional at the idea. :|
I'm glad you liked the feminism. ♥ Honestly, like, I got stressed out about this because I really didn't want it to just turn into a flat-out gangbang and have them all just using her, I didn't want it to seem like they were using her sexually OR emotionally, like I didn't want to write her as a prop or anything. So I wanted her to have her own obvious personality and to guide the whole thing a little bit, but without seeming too much like a Mary Sue, and. I'M JUST REALLY GLAD YOU LIKED HER.
You know I somehow didn't quite realise how little actual sexual CONTACT there is between the boys in this? I mean there's basically none, even, and obviously I knew that on some level because I WROTE IT but, I don't know. I guess it felt so sexual to me anyway, while I was writing it, those small ambiguous things that aren't explicitly boy-on-boy or whatever. But yes, making love through Max!! Definitely how I wanted it to come across, without sidelining her completely. And ugh I wanted to write that Harry/Louis bit from Harry's POV too but it just worked out that it was Louis's. Srsly though I was sending emails like BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN HARRY'S HEAD HERE so I totally understand you wanting to know.
DOING IT AS A TEAM yes, and they would totally be like that. The goofy cheering is one of my favourite parts because they WOULD, they're all such DORKS like that and towards the end they'd be feeling more comfortable anyway, I think.
And honestly it's not like I couldn't write a sequel, I'm having to just - close myself off to it because I really don't want to tie myself down with a series (especially if I'm planning to continue slippage/settlement anyway)? And I feel like I always try to explain EVERYTHING in my fic so I liked the idea of keeping this one kind of ambiguous, even though I know it's kind of cruel to do that, haha. WOW LOOK AT ME WRITING AN ESSAY IN RESPONSE TO YOUR ESSAY, basically thank you so much for these comments and I'm thrilled you liked this so much. ♥♥♥
