I hope I am the first one to post on this because otherwise I'll feel like a failure. I'm so glad you got up the nerve to go through with this and share this with others. People should so be more for this couple and I'm thankful that I got to read it first, or hell, even hear about it when it was just a rough idea in your head.
You're wonderful and I am sure others will realize that as well as they read through this! ♥ Thank you for making me fall in love with the two of them.
Well, thanks for pushing me to do it, as reluctant as I was. Wrote it for two reasons: 1) I hoped you'd enjoy it and 2) I wanted to push you into writing something longer. I'm going to hold you to that second thing now, even if you never agreed to it. I know you will. ;)
You've really, truly, honestly made me a much better writer and I cherish everything we've done together. ♥ ♥ You're the most unexpected, pleasant surprise and I'm so glad you're as in love with them as I am.
I'm so glad that you did do that. It was the most wonderful thing to read over and over again the first time you had posted it. Of course I enjoy it! I ADORE it! It's wonderful and well written despite what you continue to tell yourself. Yeah, well, I want to do the other side of this and I kind of want to pick up that other one I did from the first meme. With the... Warped show I believe it was. I dunno. I wrote SOMETHING.
You're such a wonderful person and I'm SO glad you got the nerve up to share this with others. No matter how much I just want to hoard it to myself. ♥ ♥ ♥
Oh, that first version was just thrown up there with the 2000 typos just because I wanted you to see it before I lost my nerve. It's a really good thing you went to class that day or I would never have written it! Maybe that should be our deal; you go to class on Sundays and I'll write while you're gone. And then you find time to write and do art while...I'm working or something.
I would love to read your version of the flip side of this. I would really love for you to finish that "SOMETHING" you did, or any of those ten thirteen somethings you did.
You know how much I adore you, which is why I wrote this. And you really don't need to, since I'll just write you more. :D ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
i really like the way you made the interactions like real high-school ones. patrick's crush on pete is so cute, but also real. and mikey rules. i hope he and patrick make out alot after guitar hero.
Thank you for reading and commenting. I was really uptight about writing for Mikey because although I love the guy, I'm not comfortable trying to be in his skin. I'm glad you liked him. I'm pretty sure that the two of them will have quite a memorable evening together. ;)
M'kay, first of all, props to you for posting this. It made me smile and you're definitely right in the fact that there isn't enough Patrick/Mikey fic -- let alone good Patrick/Mikey fic.
I like the realistic details in your scenarios, they really helped set the scene for the events to come. Your characterizations make me smile and I liked the chain of events. The progression in the relationships between Patrick and Mikey was very nice.
Thank you for the feedback. It's very much appreciated. Since I've never written anything before I found it very difficult to judge objectively and this gives me some guidance to go off of in the future. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
You're very welcome and I understand that completely. This was a fabulous first fic and I look forward to (hopefully!) seeing more writing from you in the future.
If you ever feel like bouncing ideas off someone, I'd be glad to help. :)
not a pairing I frequently read, but I actually like this quite a bit. I like the kind of sweet and incredulous way you write Patrick, plus I totally wasn't expecting Mikey to frequent nightclubs from the way you wrote him earlier in the story, so that was a cool surprise :]
also, pretty cool that you made it seem like it might get a little pete/patrick-y in there, but then it didn't. I don't know, I think it makes it seem more realistic than a bunch of stories where it's immediately obvious what romantic pairing is gonna happen.
my only real criticism is, I think you might want to split up some of the longer paragraphs, because that plus the small text made it hard to read at times on a computer screen. I'm sorry I don't have feedback writing-wise, I'm not good at critiquing though :P
anyway, hope that helped! great fic, and welcome to bandom :3
Yes, the font was a real headache for me because of the way LJ converted it from the Word document and I'm very bad at html coding. I was actually worried about it not being difficult to read. I think I'll go back and make it 10 point maybe and see if I can put some better breaks in the text.
I actually don't know how Pete snuck in here, but he did, and as Peterick was what sucked me into bandom to begin with, it seemed natural for that to show up here. I'm glad you thought that lended something to the story and that the characterizations worked for you.
Thank you so much for the comment and the welcome. It really means a lot.
Because babydoll that was awesome. And if you ever have the inclination to continue it... (I'm a big fan of chaptered fics, but it's lovely as a standalone too.)
It made me giggle, I loved the part where Patrick thought he'd get stuck in the window. (just cracked up again for the record)
Really, truly fabulous. And a very fun pairing too. Best of luck!
Oh, thank you so much. I always figured if I ever wrote something it would be maybe 1000 words and one scene, so I'm not sure where this came from. I actually have considered continuing it, but I didn't want to commit myself to it in case I chicken out.
I'm really glad you took the time to comment and that you enjoyed it. Thank you again.

Well, here's one vote that says even if it's only one more part, I'll read it.
You're really very welcome.
