I'm dying here. Seriously. You are the fic equivalent of the blue shirt. I started losing it around here...

“Well.. a shirt. Obviously. And pants. And shoes. And... if you think he uses underwear...”

“Dude!! That’s... well, who doesn’t?”

“You’ve never noticed how low Sawyer’s jeans are?”

“Did you?”

“I bloody well have! You don’t even need to...”

“Ok, ok, STOP. Who asks him?”

...and I then never really recovered. I imagine this is the only story with a warning about Locke's underwear that will ever be saved to my memories. Oh, and amid all the crack, the parts about Boone were sweet.

[janie_tangerine]

Oh yay I'm so glad you liked this since I don't think I'd have gotten around to do it without that blue shirt mentioning at yours ;)

LOL well it'd be scary if someone else ever writes something mentioning Locke's underwear, I guess this one can be worthy as an unicum ;) and I'm so glad that you noticed the slight Boone references, I'm not happy without having him around when/how I can. Thank you so much for reading!

So I am here for the Greatest Hits part of the feedback challenge that I originally missed. I’m claiming this for the category 'A fic featuring your OTP' because really, Desmond/Blue Shirt is like Locke/Island - totally meant to be.

I get such a kick out of this fic and how seriously it takes its task at hand. Yet underlying the cracky goodness is a melancholy that makes it all the more meaningful, like the mention of Boone's clothes and Desmond's dreamy post-hatch state. This is definitely one of my favourite fics of all time. Thanks for writing this!

[janie_tangerine]

God, you made my night. Thank you so much ♥!

And seriously, Des/Shirt? OTP all the way!! And I guess that I can't help taking crack seriously, but I always thought it was the best way to write it. Also because avoiding Desmond's dreamy post-hatch situation wouldn't have been fair -shakes head-. Thank you so much again, I'm more than happy to hear it! ♥

Heh! What a golden idea for a fic!

Great Charlie/Hurley banter throughout. You really nailed their goofy boyishness. I love how they freak over Locke's underwear and the girls eying up Desmond's chest. And how you gave context to their Sawyer stash raiding habit. Your Sawyer voice is also spot on!

Blue shirt really does deserve its own flashback. Though I must say I'm still very sad over the loss of white shirt in the hatch implosion. *sniff* RIP white shirt...

I must read more of your fics. You seem to write a lot of Desmond and we need more good Desmond writers on LJ so...GOOD.

[janie_tangerine]

Well thank you so much! Wow, I'm definitely flattered, you're too good to me ;) glad you thought Charlie and Hurley worked, Charlie especially worried me because it was my first time with him but it seems it turned out ok, and I'm mostly glad for it! And Locke's underwear was too good to pass, really.

Blueshirt!flashback? Oh SO DEFINITELY! Yeah, white shirt was good too. Though blue shirt is sexier ;)

Well I so love Desmond and he's a great character to write! For now I've only got that queer con fic here but I'm definitely planning on more Desmond ;)

BTW, in my lurking days I stumbled upon 'Beware of the fangirl' which I think was yours and as we are here, I just wanted to tell you that I thought it was one of the most genial things ever written ;)

[falafel_fiction]

Very good Charlie for a first timer! Actually what I liked best was the verrry subtle shift between the shirt finding scenes and the last scene with Sawyer. You didn't mention the death prophecy but I sensed the change in Charlie.

'Queer Con'! I knew I'd read something Desmondish by you before (couldn't put my finger on it). That was a great fic too! Very original. I don't usually find Des/Sawyer a good combination, but you really made it work!

BTW, in my lurking days I stumbled upon 'Beware of the fangirl' which I think was yours and as we are here, I just wanted to tell you that I thought it was one of the most genial things ever written ;)

Thanks! It's funny to hear my 'beating up Damon' fic being described as genial, but I'm pleased you liked it.

[janie_tangerine]

Yay thanks! Especially because you noticed the shift, I didn't mention that on purpose but I hoped someone could sense that something actually happened in between ;)

And glad you also liked my Queer Con! And well that pairing actually surprised myself but I'm glad I got to carry it like I intended ;)

Well that comes from one who finds King her cross and pleasure, he always kills off my favorite character and I can't stop reading his books anyway, so that fiction was especially good for me because I often dream about being able to do Misery with writers and I really related with our fangirl ;) and since I had my favorite character (yeah, like, Boone) killed off even before S1 finished and well I really loved Charlie I could totally relate with it. Damon, Carlton... *shakes head*

[glycerineclown]

:D

Hahah, that was awesome.
Charlie just bleeds awkwardness.

[janie_tangerine]

Lol thanks! He definitely does. *sighs* I hate writers >

[sapphire_child]

*massive amounts of giggles*

The image of Charlie handling John Locke's underwear is...amusing to say the least. This would've made such a great backstory for an episode - thanks for sharing!

[janie_tangerine]

Isn't it? And the funny thing is that I didn't start with the idea of mentioning it at all, but once I had to deal with the shirt I had to deal with pants and I didn't put into account the Locke factor, but alas, it was too good to let it go ;) thank you so much for reading! I'd have loved to see something along these lines on the show... minus the crack, of course ;)

[sapphire_child]

Okay before I respond to your comment - I effing LOVE your icon, omg. I so need to steal it. Can I steal it?

Sometimes the things we don't plan on writing turn out to be the best bits! I know that happens to me all the time!

Man, I could deal with some crack on this show - it's all blood and guts and angst atm. We need more humour!

[janie_tangerine]

Crack on show would be just good. *sighs* sure you can! But credit pilot101, she made it ;)
