I don't know if that has more to do with figuring silence means it's all good or what, but I figure if I felt fine about writing it and sharing it, then it was all fine.

I feel the same way. I've never gotten a flame review that was like, "WTF is wrong with you?!" so I figure either people are fine with it or just quietly click the X without saying anything, which is fine too.

LOL I know, I still don't have the whole thing down either. I can sing/rap every word of "Alexander Hamilton" spot on, which was an accomplishment, but that one's not very fast. I've got "Yorktown" pretty much down too - that's my favorite song. I'm still working on "My Shot" and "Guns and Ships." The non-rapping songs are definitely easier!

--- Quote from: RokofAges75 on February 21, 2021, 11:05:59 PM ---LOL It's one of those ideas that sat around on my list of ideas forever (I think I first came up with it in like 2002) and never quite panned out, but I ended up using elements of it in another story, which was definitely creepy. Another example of combining ideas to come up with something even better.

I'm glad you sit on your ideas if they don't pan out, because they seem to be working for you eventually in a different form as time goes on. I wish I'd kept better track of my ideas in some form like that!
--- Quote from: RokofAges75 on February 21, 2021, 11:05:59 PM ---I think that's it. I always wondered why I was fine reading and writing Brian heart problem stories, but the thought of writing one about Nick really bothered me. The difference was, I didn't become a fan until right after Brian's heart surgery, so I never had that experience of worrying about the "What ifs?" It was always history for me. And I guess we've gotten to that point with Nick now too, since he's kept his shit together for the most part in the years since then and seems to be doing well. I guess all our positive vibes for his love life eventually worked!

Worrying about the what ifs is nerve wracking for anything like that, since we're all on a first name basis and it feels like worrying about a friend or a family member. When it becomes history, then it's just that, shared fact and history. I feel like I remember when it happened, but I was not quite at teeny stage yet where I would have obsessed about it. I think it was just on the news or something? It's all a little vague. Ask me about when I decided Nick was the best instead, I remember that.
I was very busy all those years sending out "Marry me" and "Be so happy" positive vibes. I'm pleased that one of them worked: the more important one. :biggrin:

That's what I figure is happening with me, people quietly click the little x. It's cool. I'll keep writing anyway.

My favorite is Non-Stop, which is also not too fast on the rap. Though, I gotta appreciate "Wait For It" because Burr puts Hamilton on par with uncontrollable things like life/death, love, his past, and forces of nature, haha. Also have to appreciate the "chick-a-plao" in Stay Alive, since the Boys taught me to love random stuff like that!

"Chick-a-plao" - yes!! I love stuff like that too. Non-Stop is great, especially at the end when it combines all the different musical motifs. Wait for It is one of my favorites as well - such a pretty song, and it reveals so much about Burr's back story and motivation.
I've been listening to BSB in my car lately, but I put Hamilton on today in honor of George Washington's birthday.

I love when a song combines musical motifs and the layered melody it creates, as I already mentioned with "One Day More" from Les Mis. I wonder if LLM is working on anything new or is just still busy with In the Heights and Hamilton stuff.
Aw, I forgot it was GW's birthday. Good first President. I listened to the Boys today as is typical lately.
