Oh thanks but the transition is only mentally. My outher shell is still a man sadly. I wont do the hormon therapy and other things. I don’t accept my outer shell but I can live with it.

Wow. I loved this. I just finished the prologue and instantly just had one of those “just finished a good book and suddenly don’t know what to do with your life” moments. Beautiful work! I am eagerly looking forward to more. 
You know you can ask him that.

This is amazing! I’m utterly obsessed. I also sent you a mildly unhinged ask on Tumblr to say how much I loved the George Harrison affair but there’s a character limit on tumblr asks so I couldn’t go as in-depth as I would have liked. So if you want to put a name to the sunglasses face on Tumblr, I’m TheLonesomeToad on here.
Anyways. I love this IF so much. I LOVE the 1960s and 1970s, I used to wear mod clothes in high school, etc. I have written so many stories since I was a teen Beatlemaniac about being a member of a fictional 1960s band and having a dramatic breakup a la John Lennon and Paul McCartney (except we’re both girls). Though that’s not necessarily the case in Scapegoated, it scratches the same itch in my brain. I am utterly obsessed. I’m so excited to explore more of the 1960s and 1970s context, from race relations to gender and misogyny, and the serial killer plotline!. I completely support and understand you decision to make a genderlocked female and racelocked MC, it’s your story, and you tell it how you want to tell it. In particular regarding gender, a man simply wouldn’t get blamed for “breaking up the band” in the way that for example Yoko Ono was (though obviously with Yoko it’s also because she’s Japanese).
As for the ROs: they’re all perfect. I’m gonna have to make a different MC for all of them and distinguish them by changes in hair color lol. I really love Penn, he’s so cute in a Martin Scorsese/David Lynch way. I will be your muse sir thank you very much! I liked Fleur a lot too (even though ik she’s not a RO), I’m a sucker for The Factory world even though I don’t particularly like Andy Warhol lol, and I really appreciated the Velvet Undeground mention.
Sorry, this is really rambly, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this. I am really excited for the upcoming chapters and for the plot to start to unfold, can’t wait to read more. Sad to leave New York but excited to go to LA!
PS: I looked your pinterest for the story and it’s also amazing

you and i are psychically linked about this all, and in loving the george harrison affair lmfao. i was into the 60s stuff and was a beatles girl in middle school and lowkey this reignited some stuff for me… (read as: 75% of my pinterest feed currently is pictures of them and vintage sewing patterns, some of which ive bought to finally live the dream of having those clothes!!) and just like i can sense that this story is gonna be sooo good when we get really in deep ugh!!!

our joint slay, I literally gasped when i saw the george harrison line i was like there’s no wayyyy there’s just no way. and then i clicked it and there was indeed way. I was shocked.
for me my beatles “phase” (not really a phase but i’m substantially more chill now) was in high school, i was wearing mini skirts and boots everyday to school and i was constantly getting dress coded lol. i don’t dress like that anymore but i kind of miss it and it was definitely a fun time.
yes i am also so excited! I literally havent been able to stop thinking about this IF all day, especially because i love the 1970s as well

Ah!!! Thank you :’) I can’t wait to get Chapter 1 wrapped and done. It’s taking a while because of my 9-5 but it will be done as soon as I can get it to be done (which I want to be no later than February). Thank you again!!

Will it matter in the story if you get with Vince only after the band ends? I choose to not select any romantic option with him yet for that reason, but I want to know if the story will recognize that we never had anything going until after the band broke up.
Yeah, it’ll be fine! The Prologue is really only introductory, so you’ll have until about Chapter 3

Just to make you aware, Dashingdon hosting will be closing soon so I would recommend moving this to cogdemos or uploading a compiled html file:
