Oh my god, Olya, I don't even have words for this! You probably won't read this anytime soon (if ever), but I have to share this with you because I have so much to say, and I hope you'll appreciate this when proudly reading ITOWWFY to your grandchildren! Firstly, your English is super-amazing for a non-native! You must be living in a speaking country, otherwise you're a genius (I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case, though)! English is my second language as well and I understood every word you wrote but to actually think about these you must have a fascinating active vocabulary! Secondly, I found Metallichicks after a fan mentioned it to Lars in a video and I was, like, I had to check it out, what if I could find crazy girls like myself? And what a luck I did! I hadn't read any fanfics for about 5-6 years but I was so curious, I clicked on yours because it had the most viewers (not a coincidence), and had a peek. First I thought to myself, "well, it's just porn, but a very well-written porn and porn is good anyway, and then I'll leave it when I get bored of sex." And in the exact same chapter after which I wanted to abandon this masterpiece, you brought in the drama, the adventure and the psychological descriptions and prevented me from making one of my biggest reading-mistakes! (I guess it was when Chris kidnapped Angel.) About psychology, geez, you're a mastermind! In the beginning I thought you're an ordinary analyzer and won't pass the point other average writers don't either, but from the middle parts and mostly towards the end you left me so speechless I was constantly picking up my jaw from the floor! If I remember correctly you're a nurse, but if I hadn't known that I would've sworn on my life you were a psychologist or a professional writer from a doctors' family! Some girls commented how they missed actual depths from Angel's character but after that (I don't know if it was because they mentioned it or you'd planned that anyway, but) you built her up with such ease and perfect actions-reactions, I was convinced you intentionally made us believe that it was porn and when we laid back in our armchairs you just flicked a switch and the fic became something much closer to a best-seller. James's characteristics and the well-known real life events obviously must have been of big help to you (you used the fundamental pieces of his personality we've been shown mostly in SKOM and AYAAHITLOM ingeniously), but this doesn't lessen your merits the slightest because you still had to be a brilliant writer to use those backgrounds and emotional situations in a way to entertain us and not repeat anything in the same manner we could've already read or seen about them (about Jason in a minute)! But back to Angel; from a grey little mouse whose life revolved around strictly James (and the reason behind others' love for her was unexplained as well), you had her become a strong, independent woman (with a background) we all have to look up to! When she started to have her inner fights I knew this fic reached a whole new level and the climax (which I correctly suspected 2001-2002 to be) would be sensational! Again, I loved how you incorporated fiction into nonfiction and utilized the uncertainty of some feelings/situations(/years) of the members. I'll conclude this paragraph now, sorry for these long sentences, but I can't emphasize it enough how touching and thought-provoking and, most important of all, realistic your descriptions have been! No, they're actually far beyond realistic, they're the most stunning stuff I've ever read in English purely in the subject of love (you'd think people get bored of a couple that only talk about their love life on-screen but you disproved this as well). Going into these lengths and depths is certainly exhausting even for professional writers, you should really consider (if haven't already) doing this for (at least a part-time) living! Oh well, so Jason now. Your overall usage of the real life characters has been superb, but since I don't really know the Maiden guys I can only highlight how perfectly you captured the Metalliboys' basic personae! Lars and Kirk (and James too) are born-entertainers; Lars doesn't leave much to our imagination about his personality (<3) and Kirk's practically an adult-looking kindergartener who'll say the least-expected funny shit in a conversation [boy, I love him so effing much!] and you displayed these flawlessly, but Jason's shyness/conservativeness and wisdom (like he'd come of age ten years earlier than the other three) made him the perfect candidate to be your decent "the other guy" (there had to be someone after Chris was not so decent ). It just came in handy the poor guy actually quit Metallica because of the above mentioned childishness and all that nastiness that came with it and we're so familiar with. I'm very much like Jason in my personal life so I could totally identify with him, which made your story even more compelling (didn't think it was possible). I really just can't say it enough how combining known, suspected, only-felt and non-existent elements like this requires a special kind of genius like yourself! Summarizing all this wouldn't have been this hard if I hadn't been 4-6 years late... But all I can do now is thank you for this emotional journey (and probably for the inspiration for myself to pick up writing again) and hope to one day find a reply from you (you're like a celebrity for me now so it'd mean much )! Now I'll continue with Bo's spin-off, reading her feedbacks was the best thing that came out of your story indirectly. I'm so envious of your English vocabulary and writing skills, girls! Have a nice day/week/year/life, Olya!
