14,000 words, R-ish. Pete/Mikey, Frank/Gerard, Patrick/Greta, Brendon/Ryan, Gabe/everybody
One morning I woke up and thought: what the world needs now is: love, sweet love an AU bandom pastiche of 10 Things I Hate About You. So there I was. And here we are.

Mad props across the water to jehnt, who told me all the weird

*hasn't read*

*has fingers over eyes*

i'm trying to finish your other thing! and you're tempting me with this! argh. priorities!!!

(sorry it's taken me longer than i said it would. rl kicking my arse. son's medical issues. blah blah blah.)

I AM A VILE TEMPTRESS.

no worries at all! the three others have got back to me - not something i'm saying to make you feel guilty, but if rl kicks your ass to the curb on this, you can totes pull out without feeling you're letting me down. :D

*hasn't read it yet either*
well, except the first paragraph.
modnab, california!? nooooo.
10 things i hate about you was set in tacoma, wa.
where i live. it's our only claim to fame! don't take it away from us!
lol.
that's all, gonna read it now and find out if it's cali for a reason.

Modnab is not a real place. For all intents and purposes, California isn't either. I set it there because it's like the place where good people go to die and, also, I can base a lot of it on my TV-watching.

[orwhoeveriam]

i suppose that's reasonable. plus frank would have a hard time raging against the weather for being too sunny and cheery in tacoma.
this is great, btw, i love which characters the bandom guys are.

[scoradh]

Yeah, I've heard tell it's basically like Irish weather. Do not want.

Thanks! I don't know why Brendon is friends with Mikey, though...

I'm liking this so far, but... I don't think that Dionne Warwick was in The Supremes? So that threw me out of the story a bit.

Fixteded!

This is like my 3rd re-read of this story (I'm going thru a bit of a bandom stage right now) and I noticed a little typo:
in the scene near the beginning when Mikey gets home, you typed "Mrs.Wentz" instead of "Mrs.Way"
Just thought I'd mention it.

Oh man, I only noticed this now! But thanks for pointing that out.

"We could kidnap you!"

"No."

"Come on, you only fell a few feet last time. Some minor scratches. Tiny, really, compared to Vietnam."

Going in my Facebook quotes.

That sounds cool, although I'm not a facebook afincionado. Go me! :D

[takkatakkatakka]

I have to admire you for that. To be honest, I only really use it to log all my favourite fanfic quotes...

xD

I do have a profile, except I've only used it three times. I didn't realise there was a big fanfic contingent there, though! I sort of assumed that was mainly limited to lj.
