Fic: Move Along (The Days Between Us)

[gildedmuse]

There is a part of me that is amazed I still write Rent fanfic. I know all of you must look at your friends' page and be amazed that I still have anything to say about these characters. Could have finished a novel....

The thought-style comes from the fact that I wrote it with my eyes closed, just sort of praying.

And, hey, I believe in character motivation! And also that Maureen can not possibly be as shallow as most people write her. There is just no way.

Plus, let's admit, if she were COMPLETELY shallow, she wouldn't have dated (a) a poor, jobless and geeky looking filmmaker and (b) a (usually) over weight and, from what I can tell, most pro-bono and inner city work lawyer (those mothers in Harlem and her knowledge of squatter law seem to indicate that Joanne does mostly work for the less fortunate aka not highly paid). I mean, Mark and Joanne are GOOD PEOPLE. Shallow individuals do not date good people. They date pretty, rich, popular people.

OMG...I loved it so much...it gave me a new view (and respect) for Maureen. Excellent job! ^^
