ok, Can it happen just like that? I'll even happily wait the extra time. Lance singing Love For Sale? GUH.

I adored this, from start to end. It's got realistic methods in it and everybody has their day. The interview bits with Larry that you used to carry the story along were fun and an inventive way to do that. I agree so much with Lance in that they all need to incorporate who they are then into the music. And I love how you show they've grown but can still grow together. Absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing it!

:applauds:

Lance singing Love For Sale? GUH.
Oh yeah. (pauses to emit wistful sigh)

Thank you! Feedback like this leaves me with a *huge grin*. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

I loved this. Once again, it was hilarious but this was also really touching. I very much liked the 'sharing of the lesbians' in the first chapter, and I adored the rhyming of 'tight' with 'cellulite'! The only thing that slightly grated was Chris's 'guys and casual sex' speech in the group meeting. I can see why that had to happen, but for me it jarred a little bit (and no, I've no helpful suggestions about what you should do to it). Still, I really enjoyed the fic and I'm really enjoying your stuff (in case the mad commenting wasn't giving you the clue)

Thanks so much for the feedback. I'm most gratified that you're enjoying my stories!

I told you I was reading this a million years ago and now I have finally finished (work got busy!) but I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it. And, yes! It's wonderful and I wish Lance DID take credit cards!! Funny and sweet and, mmm, anything where Lance is a total hotass is great in my book :P Plus, I went into it not knowing the pairing or having any idea how it would end, and I really loved the experience of reading it. *draws a million hearts*

*beams* Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's a slightly different reading experience when you aren't waiting for Pairing X to show up. (I hadn't intended it to be Trickyfish, really, but couldn't help it...)

oh! my! g-d!

If there was *any* way to transfer fiction into reality? this'd be my choice. I loved it, it's in-charakter (as far as we can tell) and totally adorable.

guh. and - can I have that album? Pretty Please? *g*

[pensnest]

Thanks so much for your feedback! Yeah, I want to listen to the album too... I'm a hiatus fan who's never had the chance to see the boys on stage together, sigh.

Out of curiosity, how did you happen across the story?

Thirteen Years and Counting

I've owed you feedback on this story for almost a year now, as it was one of the first popslash stories I read and it helped draw me into reading all about the sparkly boys. I recently re-read it, and I enjoyed it just as much the second time -- the interactions between the guys made me laugh (Justin's cluelessness, Lance's maneuvering, Chris's speculation during the songwriting). I even enjoyed the framework of the Larry King interview, and normally I don't particularly care for flashbacks as a storytelling mechanism. And I was very happy that Lance finally received a solo, as his voice was always lost in the mix. (I also loved when he threatened "to annihilate each and every reference to a 'baby girl' that doesn't mean Briahna." I actually just loved your Lance in this story.) So thank you for the wonderful work, and I'm sorry that it took me so long to let you know how much I appreciate it.

Thank you! I'm so pleased that my story was one that helped draw you into popslash. There are so many fabulous sparkly boys stories to read. And feedback is welcome, however long it takes to arrive. :-)
