You don't have to worry about that.^ It was Great!. And I'm not even a fan of this pairing, but I have to say you've got me interested. Punk should run right out that door and after John! :)
It felt damned rusty writing it, I'd kinda forgotten how much I liked writing lol
Thank you for the kind comment, I really do appreciate it <3 I'm a sucker for the John/Punk think entirely - they're so similar but yet so different. And not difficult to look at either :)
Love this and I'm not a big John fan. The emotions from Punk and John is the way I kinda picture them to be. Hopefully Punk will go after John and there will be a happy ending.
Glad you enjoyed the story, I just see Punk as a total asshole in my head and I'm almost glad when he comes across like that lol Thanks so much for reading and taking the time to comment xx
It's been a long time since I've actively bothered to comment on fic writing, but this made me feel it was wholly necessary. I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart, because as far as I can tell, good quality writing is thin on the ground for this pairing in this fandom, and it's so refreshing and rewarding to finally find some.
And also, you've absolutely nailed everything that's important for good fic: there's no needless and jarring repetition, none of the clichéd 'pet names' (cause I have read the words Straight Edge Superstar WAY more times than can ever have been necessary), your characterisation's spot-on and believable, and you've made their interest in each other convincing without having to make them into guys in skirts/girls with dicks and I really appreciate that. Plus you managed to capture the fantastically taut tension that's there in all of these guys' physical and verbal interactions, and spin it into something wonderfully subtle, realistic and exciting. Fan-bloody-tastic

Well I've got to start by saying that I'm completely blown away and massively flattered by a comment like that! If what I wrote drove you comment where you normally wouldn't then I take that genuinely as a massive compliment *blushes

I'm really glad I could make you feel that little bit prouder of your work, it's really fantastic ! And it's so good to find someone who's so totally on the same page as me hahha. I've been reading for years (this journal is so old its password is my very first slash pairing) and at first I think it's easier to be more forgiving, but once you've cut your teeth a bit and read a bit and begun noticing all the little weaknesses in writing that can derail a story's enjoyability, it sort of becomes this slashy holy grail to actually sink your teeth into something that's written well. Plus, when you frequent ff.net more than anywhere else you do kinda find yourself swimming in a proliferation of shite, and nice as it is to help young writers with concrit, it's so refreshing to find writing you can relax into and not be unconsciously betaing the whole way through ! I'm all for PWP but even porn needs some spelling and grammar ahah

I know exactly what you mean about the crap over at ff.net. I cross post there but unless it's smutty stuff or the 'pairing du jour' it never goes down well!! I struggle to find decent stuff to read myself because I'm not into a lot of the popular pairings, then there's the writing to tackle on top of that *eyeroll* (Oh, and your comment on the femmeslash made me smile btw cos you're absolutely right - give me Nattie/Beth over Eve/K2 any day!)
In terms of LJ there's not a lot of choice really. The good and the bad tend to get posted in together and I gather this is one of the only fandoms where beta-ing is the exception rather than the rule. The busiest comms are probably wrestling_slashviolentpretties and slash-inthering but at least there are some diamonds in the rough there.
Thanks for the friend request :) I post all kinds of random crap so I apologise in advance for that ;) Hope you have a great weekend <3

(And I quite agree that Punk should run after John, I can only hope for inspiration enough to make him do that!!)
