Okay, this story flies in the face of my every I-hate-expostion-and-character-think wank rant, but it's fucking perfect the way Justin overthinks everything, all his thoughts tripping all over themselves. Love how he says "totally" about everything. I laughed a bunch of times.
Heh. I'm glad it worked for you. But, dude, tell me more about the I-hate-exposition-and-character-think rant, because that sounds interesting and like something I want to think about. And for god's sake, don't read any more of my stuff because I think it's all like that.
WHich is why you're the perfect beta for me, my stories are all exposition and character-think-wank. Of course, if I could do it this well, you wouldn't complain.
Oh, this was utterly delightful! I love it---it's funny, sharp, hot, and just the thing I needed to find after getting off work tonight. I loved the characterizations of all of them. It made me laugh, and that's something I appreciate.
Yay! I'm so glad you liked it and that it made you laugh! You just never know with humour, do you, whether it's going to float or fall flat as a flat thing.
This is my new favorite story ever. It actually made me want to never write again, because this story is perfect. This story has the best characterizations of all five of them that I've read in a long time. I love love love your Justin. For some unknown reason, whatever pairing I'm writing starts out as Justin in my head. I could write him POV forever. I have no idea why, he's not even my favorite, although I love him dearly. Anyway, I laughed, I was green with envy, I decided it was perfect. Thank you for writing it.
Oh, man, this may just be the best feedback I've received for a story *ever.* You've totally made my entire year, you know that?
I agree, there's something addictive about writing a Justin POV that I certainly wasn't anticipating the first time I tried it. I'm not sure what it is, because he's not my favourite either (that would be Chrissss!!!! ahem), but he's tremendous fun to write. Maybe it's that blend of neurosis, earnestness, insecurity, eagerness to please, and need to be perceived as cool; you mix all that up with a healthy dose of basic decency and you've got a recipe for total crack fic (from the author's perspective, anyway).
Thank you so much for this feedback. I will treasure it.
That's one of the best descriptions of Justin I've ever read. And seriously, this story? I loved JC, too, because he was all in control and grown-up and toppy, but still warm and sweet and he didn't laugh at Justin. And of course there was the Trickyfish, I'm happy that made it's way in there. I love this Lance, all purposeful and making sure Justin and JC got together, partly to stop Justin from obsessing, and partly to keep him away from Chris.
I could go on forever, really. But you wrote it, so you know what it's about already.

No, no, I go too far the other way. Remember, my dream fan fiction has four words in it.
Welcome!
