It's still good. And whadayamean implied timbertrick?

I am an angst queen like noone's business but i enjoyed this so much. Lots of fun and mushystuff without getting too smaltzy. I couldn't spot all the changes you'd made but it does feel smoother and more together.

Also, this is going in my memories so i can read it when i have a hard day.

Okay. *shifty eyes* It's not really "implied" but I wanted the readers to question at first if it was happening so that JC's obliviousness would become more and more obvious.

(Is that bad? Kinda lying about my pairings?)

Wow! That's such a compliment. I have corrupted your angst just a little. :)

Yay! It's been a while since I've done such a dialogue-heavy story. I worried about all those paragraph breaks and choppiness.

no! i was just being silly because it's one of my favorite pairings ; ) also it was clever revealing it through JC's clueless eyes; he's not the brightest crayon in the box sometimes bless his heart.

And it's not choppy at ALL. It's fast and snappy which is why the comedy works so well.

Very nice. :) Your dialouge is completely awesome.

This line You're... the only one who doesn't have a favorite." made me sniffle a little bit, since it's true, and reminds me a lot of that RS article.

Can Chris actually come to Lansing? Pretty please?

Just by the way, the blog text is a little too small for my eyes.

Thank you!

That's one of the bits that woke me up and I had to write it down right then. :-) But I don't know what the RS article is? Or at least it's not ringing a bell...

Can Chris actually come to Lansing? Pretty please?

I'd make it happen if I could. :-)
(Though then I'd be really sad that I don't live up that way anymore.)

I've got to fiddle with it. It looked fine when I previewed the post. And, then poof! It was tiny. *sigh*

There was a Rolling Stone article back in 2001, where the author talked about how the group had paired off but JC belonged to no one's clique.
I have a copy but don't have a scanner. :(

Man, this was so fantastic! I laughed so often, and also got very wistful.

This was just amazing, and a story I'll read again for sure.

Oh. My. GOD. This is MADE OF WIN!!!

It's so completely awesome. I love love LOVE this. The threemanbus action at the beginning, JOEY and the grandpa comments, JC's total cluelessness, JC IS MADE OF FAIL, and Lance's complete awesomeness!!! I am flailing about how ridiculously awesome this is. SO CUTE. If that really happened, it would be on my birthday and it would be the best birthday present ever, even better than new JC music, because if there's one thing I want more than new JC music, it's real life BASSEZ. Oh man. This is just. *hearts* I can't *heart* this enough.

Also! ALSO. Your characterizations are so perfect! The ChrisnJustin show in particular is soooo good, and I love this sort of JC because I can completely imagine him like this, completely clueless and yet not. Joey's characterization was so fucking perfect. I suck at Joey, and clearly you WIN at Joey, and that takes talent!

In conclusion: BRILLIANT. And hilarious. And sweet. And perfect!!

Also, Angry Eyebrows delights me sooooo much. I can watch those vids over and over. I really hope that Chris, at the very least, has youtubed himself enough to see them. Because YES.

*GRINS*

JC IS MADE OF FAIL was so in there just for you. I figured, hey, I wasn't really following your prompt, but if I could find a way to sneak that in, everything would be good.

If that really happened, it would be on my birthday and it would be the best birthday present ever

I wish it could happen, because your blog posts that day would be insane and wonderful and CAPSLOCKY like crazy.

And the Angry Eyebrows are one of my favorite things ever. And if nothing else, this fic introduced nopseud and kira_j to them. I couldn't believe they hadn't seen them, I just assumed everyone watches them as often as I do.

(I wonder if JC and Justin will be upset when they find out Chris didn't make Angry Eyebrows up on his own...)

Man honestly? I can't even remember what prompt I gave you because I have so many things I want to read, but apparently I really wanted to read exactly this fic anyway, so good job being psychic :P I'm probably going to just sit here and reread this all day!

If Lance and JC ever actually got together, I think my head would explode. FOR SERIOUS.

(I wonder if JC and Justin will be upset when they find out Chris didn't make Angry Eyebrows up on his own...)

Ahaha! Now I want to read the fic where Justin and JC find Angry Eyebrows and accuse Chris of plaigarising this poor kid from the internet :P

This is delightful. I love the way JC cannot do anything with Chris and Justin at the beginning, and Joey is *awesome*, and the presents are brilliant! Such a fun read.

Thank you!

(And I swear, every time I write Joey, I fall in love with him. I never think "oh, Joey's my favorite" but then I'm writing and I'm all Joey~ ♥♥♥)
