Ah, this is exactly what I needed today. I love this series almost as much as I love FTANH. Keep up the great work!

Aw, yay for brightening a day! Even though my response is late in the game so that day was a while ago but still.

THANKS FOR READING!

Awww, poor boys. And poor Jon, all worried that he's screwing everything up. Hopefully they talk it out when they're sober and then there's more making out.

I loved that Jon was concerned about what the woman at the hotel was assuming and Stephen was completely oblivious.

smilesawakeyou September 23 2007, 03:42:46 UTC

Jon just needs to have that "Shwhat? People can actually find me a sexy manbeast?!?!" moment and then he and Stephen will be all "LUUUURVE" and have them some buttlovin'.

...Ahem. But all in a very tasteful manner, of course.

I loved that Jon was concerned about what the woman at the hotel was assuming and Stephen was completely oblivious.
Yeah, that hotel concierge is a total Mary-Sue I mean... yeah, oblivious!Stephen is love.

THANKS FOR READING! Your approval means a lot since I adore your stuff :D

Just the other day I was missing this story! Yaaaaaaaaaaay for updates.

I always always always love your writing but this chapter definitely has a little something that I really like. I can't really tell what it is; I think it might be that I particularly liked Jon's voice in this chapter.

And that ending is so saaaaad. Poor boys, I hope they can work this out. (The pre-sadness massaging and kissing was majorly hot though! Very intimate for such a quick event.)

And, I'm sorry, but these two are soooo John and Paul with the secret glances and the unnecessary touching.

Aw, seriously? That's so sweet! I wouldn't think anyone would muse about this in their spare time, so hooray you ♥♥♥♥♥♥

I like writing this story because I really do get to experiment with the voice in ways you don't in third person. Just like "Hare Fucking Krishna"... it's a lot harder, but in the end I feel like it comes out sounding more unique and as having that quality that I like in my writing.

They'll get happier, I swear :D I mean, part of the beauty of this fandom is the amount of joy in it... hence me becoming disillusioned a bit with the Beatles... *is sad*

And, I'm sorry, but these two are soooo John and Paul with the secret glances and the unnecessary touching.
I think I'm naturally drawn to boys that do that. It indicates that they're either a.) boinking (hahah I haven't used that word since I was 12) or b.) are really comfortable with their sexuality. Since I'm a fan of either one I guess it makes sense.

THANKS FOR READING! I heart you like mad, my little ewife :D

Online at the same time! Creepily following you over the internets... BEWARE!

Dude, I lament over your stories all the time. ;) I was listening to a song the other day that made me think of it actually and that's why. Which then led to me now having a "Sleep Madness" playlist. It only has 11 songs but I'm going to listen to it now whenever I read this lovely series.

It is harder, but it pays off so much. This wouldn't work any other way. Especially in the first couple of chapters because getting into Jon's head during his insomnia was absolutely perfect. And he also has such a fun voice to work with!

hence me becoming disillusioned a bit with the Beatles... *is sad*Oh god, me too. And I feel guilty just typing that ( ... )

smilesawakeyou September 23 2007, 04:16:09 UTC

Hehehe. I'm e-stalking you too! I'm trying to comment to the comments I've been not commenting to (what?) so uh... I don't know where I was going with that.

YOU HAVE A SLEEP MADNESS PLAYLISSSST???? REALLY???? The only songs I have associated with it are the random songs I talked about in the first two chapters and "Paris, 2004" by Peter, Bjorn & John. But that's the song for the last chapter. Tell me yooooourssssss!!!

Jon is probably one of the most fun people I've written in first person... partly because I get to inject so much of myself in it :D Only like... a 40-year-old male version of myself. He's so sarcastic and delightful. And has insomnia like me.

Oh god, me too. And I feel guilty just typing that. :(Waaaah, we are bad fans :( :( At least we're bad fans together ( ... )
