Oh oh oh!!! I'm so bummed that the last chapter is coming up. :(

This is brilliant. I love how this entire story has been multimedia, btw, I forgot to mention that in my last comment.

I literally gasped when I read about Sligh. D: I feel so bad for Phil.

GALEY!!! XD

I also am happy about Elliott. :)

Oh man, Speezy as Scheherezade? I want that now. And hmm, the only songwriting teams I can think of that may apply are Rodgers & Hammerstein and Livingston & Evans. Orrrrrrrrr Romanovsky & Phillips. Which would make my life. ;)

And oh! Ryan bb! "Because he walked out of the closet on his own terms." Amen. Yes. This is good. \o/

I admit, the VF thing is like, Clio's love letter to Ryan. I adore the VF Hall of Fame; it's one of my favorite magazine pieces and I crib its style all the damn time. And I can see him in my head at 52, too, and he is totally still adorable!

hahah, now that you know who the songwriting team is, you'll have to tell me what you think!

Thanks, I'm so glad you like it!

Wow! You just covered 20+ years in a single fic chapter in a really unique way! Great idea to present the tidbits of their lives in newspaper clippings. Almost everyone seems to be so successful. Another favourite chapter for me, due to the presentation :)

I just saw that this is chapter 9/10. Only one more? Noooooooooo :(

Thank you! I'm just glad I had a pal who could make it visual for me. I'm glad it worked for you!

Kudos to ali_wildgoose,, the graphics are fantastic.

You have such a creative mind. This was such an interesting way to tell your story.

Simon/Paula - Awww... so sweet that he wants to take care of her still.

Sligh. Man, I know not everything can be happy, but that was sad.

Kelly Clarkson divorces Daughtry for Bo Bice - Hee! &hearts it.

Gina Glocksen Rocks! \m/

I think Elliot / Kat and the reclaiming of her DIVA THRONE! is my favorite. I am so glad Elliot was able to get his Kat.

The team of LEWIS / RICHARDSON FTW! I love that they write musicals together and Jordin is their muse.

Finally, Ryan "gosh darn adorable", yes, yes he is.

Ali is amazing-she did them in just a couple of hours. I'm not sure I even would have tried it if I didn't know her!

Thank you!

Gina Glocksen is based somewhat on Ronnie Spector and somewhat on Joan Jett, but would have been recording around the same time as Heart.

so she wrote "magic man" about blake? then, of course, had a big hit in the 80s with "alone," later a favorite of american idol contestants....:)

you know how much i love this and the graphics are AMAZING. the ryan one just makes me so wistful.

I would hope that all that 80s stuff that happened to Ann (all that hiding behind cabinets in the videos) didn't happen to Gina, never mind that most of those songs were NOT written by them and were crap. But maybe "Magic Man" is actually about Haley …

I wonder what Blake's take on Heart is. After all, they're hometown gals and were/are looked up to by a lot of that grunge crowd who seem to always go over to their house and stay up late at night jamming.

eta: that Ryan one is just a big gushy love letter. wistful, yeah-I hope he can come out under his own terms, at some point.

Ali was awesome to do them for me. I'm so glad you liked them!
