Where is it available at? Scroll down and read my comment, too...I'm trying to help my friend advertise her book...and when I finish writing my book I need to figure out where to advertise it lol.

Oh by the way, you can self-publish at http://www.createspace.com, that's where my friend published hers. Just FYI. :) It's available through Amazon and on Kindle, too. I know it's not exactly fancy like this lady's deal, but at least you can say you published a book I guess! :)

Love triangles are very nearly a deal-breaker for me when I am deciding what to read. I hate them.

............ buuut i still want someone to find the original fan fiction so we can all laugh.

I wonder which members of the band they were originally... well that wouldn't be too hard to figure out from reading the novel but I don't want to do that.

Unless they got them seriously out of character in order to make them be more love-y with the author.
