Given it is recommended for people to disclose use of GenAI, and since I wrote it into the post itself and it’s important to me, I’m gonna say it again down here:
Press Play does NOT contain the output of Generative AI.

Absolutely phenomenal work, I want to start this off with saying that I found you’re previous work “Such Happy Campers” was very good (hopefully I’m not striking a bad cord here with how it ended, apologies in advance), I bring it up because I wish to say that I find this story even better! Knowing the tragedy even before we see it all collapse is so sad to see; and every character feels like real people, with their own issues. The intermission in which we first meet Zima has to be my favorite part of the story so far, it’s a great character introduction and the way it all ended legitimately made me sad. All in all, already this has become one of my favorite WIP’s, and I’m excited to see more!

Oof, I was so confident that once this was updated, I’d catch up to it in a few days… and while I picked it up after multiple few days, I did finish it in a single day, because this is one of those rare IF that has me glued to it everytime I read it, and nothing distracts me from it. Okay, it looks like I’m starting to ramble now, so I’d like to present my thoughts and feedback to you, in a slightly coherent manner (or attempt to atleast)…
I believe this is one of the few IFs, where the first person POV narration feels natural and smooth (atleast to me). And the way the plot takes place as an interview (that too with multiple characters!!) and the flashback pacing is very impressive and sets this IF apart in it’s own class.
Not to mention the characters!! I love the way Angel, despite acting fame driven, is so genuinely down to earth, especially his politeness towards elders. Our single mom is so great and lovable. I’d love to see an interaction of her with our bandmates (Angel would be so polite and respectful!) Stevie is a lesson in effortless class as always. I loved how we get to see more of her aesthetic in this update.
I also wanted to show my appreciation for the songs that you wrote. All of the songs have such great titles and the lyrics are so amazing, but I realized this goes doubly so for Moonstruck. The title, the lyrics are so beautifully haunting, given what we know now of the MCs past. That song is one of my favorite part of this IF (so far).
And just the overall setting and interactions of this story… We know that the fate of our band and our characters is tragic, the MC and Zima are coming from a dark past, and despite some signs of problems already being visible, the comedy of some of the interactions between our characters actually makes me hopeful for them. Then there’s the car scene and the last line from Stevie that reminds me, there’s not going to be a happy ending…
I’ve never been so excited, and at the same time, TERRIFIED for the next update. (But please take care of yourself first, writing about such heavy stuff cannot be easy)
Oh look, seems like I rambled anyways (sorry). All this to say, to the author:
Thank you. For creating this unique style of IF, for putting in all the effort to create beautiful songs, characters and most of all… the tragedy that awaits us.

So I won’t lie as soon as I saw SHC mentioned my heart sank, but I’m glad it went into a different direction than I thought at first. Thank you very much; I agree with you btw! I feel a lot better about Press Play. Writing it comes very easy to me, most of the time, when the going isn’t too rough hehe

Thank you so much for everything you’ve said, it really made me incredibly happy 
especially your appreciation for my lyrics writing. I know I’m anything but a professional in that regard but that part of the story is so much fun to me and I love coming up with songs so so much. I’m really glad you’re enjoying them 
Writing the darker parts of the story never fails to affect me, you’re right in that regard. It doesn’t come from just anywhere and more often than not, I draw from my own experiences. But even when it’s really tough, I’m enjoying it. It feels deeply cathartic, like cleaning out an old wound that starts to fester every once in a while. It’s like housekeeping, if that makes sense. Not to overshare or anything

“I made you something as well, actually. But it’s inside. I made it in your bathroom.”
Stevie looks horrified, and Angel barks out a laugh so loud it turns into a cough.
This part made me laugh so much it’s embarrassing.

Sorry, but I’m gonna be yapping for a while. ₍₍⚞(˶˃ ꒳ ˂˶)⚟⁾⁾
Soo, I finally got to play chapter 3 while I was recovering from surgery hehe
Ofc I have to start off by gushing about the interview style. I’ve never seen this done in an IF before, and omg you made it work so well. So perfect it felt like I was watching a movie!
And also, omg the writing style!! It’s soo pretty that I had to stop sometimes to study how good some of the lines were.
Now, as for the gang. All of them felt real to me. Now for the mommy of the group Stevie
I love how protective she is of the MC!! Like the way she stood between me and Zima, the way she always calls me sweet and cute names, the way she always makes sure I’m alright, and… the way she gets jelly when I gush about Lincoln lol. I would die for her fr.
I giggled like a little girl when we kissed lol (Totally str8 besties kiss and not gay at all kiss hehe)
Now for Angel. He’s adorable, hot, and such a chill dude. I just know he’d have my back no matter what. And can I just say how much I love that he doesn’t care if some people think he’s into girly stuff? That scene I can’t talk about yet hehe had me melting. He was just so damn adorable.
I’m very glad we can cuddle or kiss both him and Stevie, cuz omg when I say it is very hard to pick, I mean it!! Bi panic fr.
Now for Madds, I love bro but omg can he get on my nerves at times (Which’s how I feel ab my own bro sometimes lol) But I’m glad stuff has worked out between us for the moment. He is family to me, so I care about bro just as I’m sure he cares about Mc.
Now about. Lincoln. They are creepy, they are a stalker, and that is what I really like about them. (Also super rich lol)
I just love the way she worships the MC, and oh, the changing scene at the party or the dancing at the club. I’m like. 
But that is not all to her. I got to hang out with her for a while and get to know her better, and ohh!! There is much more to her than being a creepy stalker lol. I really cannot wait to hang out with her more in later chapters. She just so adorable in a creepy way lol
As for Zima, such a beautifully written character. My MC still has mixed feelings about him. I was all over him the first time we heard his voice and saw him, then I was like omg rude!! I hated him for hating me lol
Then we got to know the real reason why, and yes, it was an unhealthy friendship at the time, but I felt like a pos lol So, I tried to make it up with him, but he wouldn’t let me. Rip tho I didn’t get the truce with him. But yay, more drama later lol I will still try to make it work tho. I already blush when he’s around, so I can’t wait to see how it goes.
As for the new chapter itself, I had such a blast. I’m glad we got to spend more time with the siblings. I also enjoyed every moment of Lin’s party. Had to save so I can go back and try every choice there.
Can’t wait for more!

AAAAaaaaaa I forgot to talk about Leland!!! He is just so cute that in the short scenes we had with him I was already falling in love!! I hope he will be okay and that we meet him one day! The little date we had made me fall for him hard!!
Here is my mc! I wish I had time to make it perfect, but I plan to make it so later. It’s missing a lot of stuff from being full body to the shading, to the outfit.

Hey, friend! So happy to see you here
Thanks so much for the long-ass comment, I appreciate it so so much!! Your artwork is so gorgeous too like wtf I love her.
I got the idea for the interview style from Daisy Jones and The Six and I did research by watching a bunch of Fleetwood Mac interviews lol.
More Angel coming in 4!! 
You’ll have a great ol’ time with him.
And awww please don’t feel like a pos cause of what happened with Zima. My goal was always to make it a pretty balanced situation. MC was looking out for their own health, but given Zima’s state of mind, their disordered attachment and their experiences preceding, it really felt like a final push in some ways.
If you had trouble getting the truce tho I gotta look into that bcs it’s supposed to be easy. hm..
I’m so happy you liked Lin’s party because coding it was HELL, absolute frigging hell I tell you.

ANGEL MY BELOVED MENTIONED!!!

Given this current crowd might appreciate it, here’s a random Angel fact:
Would you believe that the electrician from Jordan Peele’s Nope was a huge inspiration for my Angel? I was so charmed with that guy’s goofy vibe, and the name “Angel”, like he was a guardian angel in the film, that it really made me want to name one of the band members that.
And our guitarist is definitely a guardian angel in certain ways. Until he changes, but that’s not gonna happen for a few years (so enjoy him while he’s at his best )
(Actually I shouldn’t say that bcs it’ll be pretty brutal)

Just an English grammar rule, I know you’ll probably get a copyeditor for the final draft once you submit it!
But in, English if two people are talking ie:
Stevie and Mr. McLaughlin.
“Dad I’m twenty-four!” Said Stevie as her cheeks darkened
“Yet you live under my roof…” teased her father.

Heyo, I don’t know if I’ll be able to afford that. I haven’t looked into it yet because it won’t be relevant for years to come, buuut is it expensive? Not that I don’t have any budget at all that could be sprung but like. Yeah.
So I have to say I’m not sure what you mean with your example below. I know you’re explaining a grammatical thingy but I’m afraid I don’t understand, could you elaborate?
