[roseclaw]

Yay! Thank you so much! This was awesome! Kickass Kelsi is an awesome bonus too!

Sorry this isn't too coherent, but I loved it!

[kisforkurama]

Oh good, I'm glad you like it! ♥

And yes, Kickass Kelsi is something I think deserves more credit because it's fun to write. /makes mental note to write "Kelsi's Taxi-Cab Adventures" someday

[jalabert]

What fun!

I'm really not sure if this jibes with my image of steampunk, but who cares? It's fun! I love Smart!Chad and Smart!Kelsi, and enigmatic "Cockatoo" Ryan is a hoot.

ETA: And your summary line? Best ever. :)

[kisforkurama]

I kind of panicked when I saw the word steampunk because it's a fashion aesthetic I subscribe to, but it's not generally something I do writing-wise so it turned out the way most things I write do - not quite one thing and not quite another. I think it's a steampunk, western, pirate smoothie with a little bit of burlesque. Or something.

I'm glad you liked it though, because it was a lot of fun to make Chad the one sane person on the ship and have Ryan there screwing everything up for once instead of having it all held together.

Also: I think the summary is my favourite part. XD

THIS. This is so shiny, baby, and I love every word. QUOTE TIME.

because he's a dumbass and his ray gun is probably back in his room.
Yes. This. Oh, Troy.

“I will shoot you dead, dude. Tell me because I really hate killing people.”
WHY DID I LAUGH.

But they're all pretty much dumbasses and Chad knows this, so he's really not all that surprised when they pick up a teeny-tiny little girl with weird facial markings and sparkly makeup wearing clothing as elegant as Ryan's.
KELSIIIIIIIIIIII. She's not that tiny! XD

“Hey, Chad, my man! Ryan! Are you-whoa. Hey, pretty lass, what's your name? You are one fine piece of craftsmanship

[kisforkurama]

WHY DID I LAUGH.
Because you know Chad is totally trying to be smooth and failing.

KELSIIIIIIIIIIII. She's not that tiny! XD
Yes she is if she's like five feet tall and Chad's like 5'10"-ish.

AND WILDCATS. WHAT TEAM.
WILDCATS!

HAHAHAHAHA. ♥
You know Gabriella wrote down rules for the Wildcats in her neat, precise handwriting and made everyone a copy because she's Gabriella and if you don't respect Gabriella, there's going to be welts on the backs of your legs from her bullwhip. So everyone respects the Wildcat Code.

I'm going to confess to really liking the whole bit about everyone's weapons. /nerd
I'm going to confess that I actually sat there and went "OKAY LET'S PLAN THIS SHIT OUT man I could have this shit be anything I want let's go to town."

/cough needs a comma in there cough
Technically it doesn't need a comma if there wasn't a significant pause and I made that call but. /sighs and sticks a comma in there for your stupid grammar nazi self

Talked to Teal and said what. "TEAL I NEED TO WRITE ABOUT A STEAMPUNK BASKETBALL

I love High School Musical, I love steampunk, but I never thought they'd combine so well. I am in shock and awe and I cannot stop grinning like an idiot.

[kisforkurama]

See, I was going to do something more sci-fi in the vein of Warehouse 13 with Chad and Ryan being secret agents but roseclaw wanted clouds and airpirates so it ended up being Firefly/Pirates of the Caribbean/Cirque du Freak inspired which is not really so steampunk but meshes together with HSM better, I think.

I'm so happy that you liked it though! ♥
