Well I've got to start by saying that I'm completely blown away and massively flattered by a comment like that! If what I wrote drove you comment where you normally wouldn't then I take that genuinely as a massive compliment *blushes*
I know exactly what you mean about the standard of writing in a lot of fics - the cliches and pitfalls drive me nuts when I read other people's work so I do my best to steer clear of them. Also the 'guys in skirts etc' thing is also one of my pet hates - they're wrestlers ffs, right?!! Punk is an asshole and John is every bit a man to me - they're never going to light a candle, exchange sweet nothings and then hold hands skipping down the street. I think it makes fic that much more enjoyable to read when the characters are true(ish) to life or at least familiar.
Anyway, enough of me rattling on about this! Thank you so, so much for that comment, I really am blown away by it. I'm not sure if/when there will be a sequel to this as I'm just getting back into writing after a bit of a hiatus but if inspiration strikes I'm not going to fight it off. Also, I'm not one for self promotion I promise but I've got another John/Punk fic on my journal called One Round - that's less intense than this one but you'll find no 'straight edge superstar' lines in that either if you fancy a read :)
(Oh and I didn't want to be presumptuous but if you want to add me as a friend feel free :D )
