Foolishly Inconsistent

Judging from the comments, the Boy's Club is still reading faithfully, so there's three readers right there. Whoo!

(Seriously though, I'm sure you've got mad readership.)

From:

Believe it or not the Epic was the reason I started up an LJ account, before that I was just being a Lurky McLurkson.

It was early June when I came across M/M on my quest for more Jeff/Annie fan fiction, so I've been reading the Epic since the beginning. Anyway, I was really enjoying the story and I specifically set up an LJ account sometime in early August, because I wanted to comment on your story.

So yeah, I have you and your story to thank for getting me to set up an account. So that's something I guess. :)

P.S. Have you considered posting the story on fanfiction.net? A story that long and that is written so well deserves to be seen by a wider audience.

P.P.S. when you post the chapter that has the smut, I'm sure there will be an upsurge in comments, especially from lurkers. :P

From:

Thanks, John. :] Today was a weird day at work, and unlike most days when I just remind myself that I'm awesome, I couldn't quite kick feeling sorry for myself.

There are only three guys on M/M? Wait. You, Raven & 11th. Duh. Pay no attention to the girl behind the keyboard.

From:

Aww. Now you know I'm going to have start referring to you as Lurky McLurkson. You just walked right into that one.

And thank you for saying that: I know I've lost a couple of readers - lenina and retrokink, but I believe RL got in the way of their fan stuff.

I hadn't thought about posting it on FF.net, mostly because I've had issues with them since before 2000 when they first started censoring people. :/ But if you think it's a good idea, I guess I could.

Swear to god, the smut's coming. (No pun intended.) Did I tell you I've had the song for the soundtrack that goes with that scene picked out since August? Because I overplan stuff like that.

I did walk right into that one, didn't I? :P

Talk to John and moeexyz about how their stories have been received on FF.net, they both post their stories over there. I haven't seen any issues and the fandom for Community is pretty small on FF.net, but I totally get your concern about posting on there with the censorship and such.

Did I tell you I've had the song for the soundtrack that goes with that scene picked out since August?

Lol you didn't tell me that, what's the song?

From:

If I recall, there were five people who identified as male when we were polled about it in September: me,

eleventhimpala,

ravenecho, and two lurkers. There may be more now, but absent evidence to the contrary I just assume that everyone is female--not unreasonable, given that the poll showed a F/M ratio of 23:1.

From:

I haven't gotten a huge number of comments on the fics I've posted at FF.net, but I've gotten some nice ones. I haven't had any problems with censorship because I don't write the kind of stuff they have problems with. But if you're concerned about it, there's always AO3. I have an account there too but I haven't uploaded anything to it.

From:

I'll definitely ask Marina, especially as John weighed in below & I hadn't really bothered to look on FF for our fandom.

OK, this one stays here: No mentioning or alluding to it in the comments or anything, capice?

Neon Tree's 'Your Surrender' (acoustic):

From:

Um. ...what's AO3?

Also: Thank you for the input about FF. It's good to know.

From:

My lips are sealed. :)

From:

Hmm, sincere or snarky? I'll let you choose!

Sincere

Snarky

(They both go to the same place, ultimately.)

From:

Ooh, leverage. Mwah ha ha!

From:

What are you hoping to get? I've already said I plan to finish this thing this weekend. You haven't expressed any frustration or annoyance with the way I've been writing the characters.

I'm just curious: What good is leverage if there's not anything you can gain by it? :)

From:

Danke. What did you think?

Granted, I'm toying with ripping this acoustic version vs. using the album version for the soundtrack.

From:

What am I hoping to get? I dunno, whad'ya got?

From:

I really liked the song. The band in general seem to be pretty awesome. I heard an interview with one of the band members late on Monday night when I was coming home from work and he was just saying how girls have been hitting on him non-stop at shows, it was kinda funny.

I like both the acoustic live version and the studio version. For me the acoustic version wins out. It's got a rawness and edge to the performance, that has been taken away by layers of studio trickery. It'll be a tough decision for you to make though.

On a sort of related note, I really like the lead singer's haircut and the female drummer is awesome. Rock music is such a misogynistic wasteland at the moment (Nickelback, anyone?), so it's great to see a girl rocking out in a band.
