I cannot even begin to list the many ways in which this is fabulous. But Darren's snarly brilliant possessiveness and Geoffrey's humour and the MULE and Fuck it, I believe him. -- YES. You really made me believe in Darren as someone who does, on occasion, have a true passion and creative gift for the theatre. While remaining a pretentious little prat.

Thank you! I mean, Darren must truly love the theater somewhere under all that flash, it IS his life's mission, after all. *g*

This fills me with GLEE. \o/

iamsab June 19 2008, 04:28:43 UTC

GLEE!!!

You really, really get Darren's voice.

iamsab June 19 2008, 04:28:58 UTC

I &hearts him so much. Thank you.

Your Darren is utterly perfect in his special brand of sincerity and unwillingness to believe Geoffrey could possibly appreciate him. I loved the way my mental image of the costuming monstrosities shifted paragraph by paragraph, always florid and yet containing their own manic sense.

One of the things that gets me about this story is the way that neither Darren nor Oliver really see Geoffrey as a human being. He's an actor -- and an incredible one -- but they really don't know him beyond that. These people need friends and they have colleagues, co-creators, and occasionally "People who are acting in my play."

Yeah, I was working with that too and it's totally true, for both Darren and Oliver, he's their Geoffrey, to perform, just like Geoffrey's is his Hamlet.

I'm glad you liked the costumes, too! Thanks! And I have to send you feedback on your musical story...

::cannot breathe from the awesome::

Brilliant. Brilliant.

::similarly hyperventilating::

I just sat here and let Darren just BLOW RIGHT THROUGH ME. He's good at that. *g*

Thanks!
