(A little while ago Bess walked into my office and said, "I read that Will/Finn story you posted. Afterward I needed a beer and some M&Ms." I think that's possibly the best feedback I've ever gotten on a fic. And from a coworker, no less! It's not hard to make her blush or anything, but sometimes it's kind of fun.)

For a little while now I have been working on a Puck/Kurt-centric fanmix -- working title: Wedding Mix (spoiler alert: THEY GET MARRIED AT THE END) -- and there was this one song that I loved, but it just wasn't working for them. Then it dawned on me that it was actually a Will/Finn song, which launched a new Will-centric fanmix. I haven't given Will much of a voice in this series to date, mainly because while Will's a part of the relationship, certainly, up to now it's mostly been about Finn's journey of growth and discovering what he wants. (Puck calls it 'becoming a real boy'.)

So now Finn's figuring it out, and he knows what he wants, which is Will. The trouble, of course, is getting Will to believe that. So I suppose going forward that Will will have more of a voice in the series, and as a way of easing into that I started thinking about kind of a soundtrack for the two of them. The first fanmix* I made for the 99 Problems series was completely Finn-centric, and while this one isn't All About Will, it definitely focuses on him more.

Uh, vague spoilers for the future of the 99 Problems series, I guess? I mean, it's not like you can't guess where we're going with this thing, but if you really don't want to be spoiled, you should skip the notes after each track** and just download the zip file.

** Whatever, everybody knows fanmixes are just an excuse for posting cheesy covers anyway. I mean, come on, look at his Drama Face. How am I supposed to resist that? Though this is actually what I was listening to while I wrote that story that made Bess blush, so it must be doing the trick.

So I have been immersed in this Glee universe for a little over a month now, and that means, of course, that I have been cultivating soundtracks for both the Puck/Kurt storyline, and the Finn-centric offshoot. I mentioned the Finn mix awhile back when I first started tossing around the Jay-Z references.

Well, I have finally reached a point where I feel both mixes are complete, so I will post them here, in case you're dying of curiosity about what I listen to while I write about those three idiots.*

A couple of the songs on the Kurt/Puck mix were chosen by [personal profile] cinderlily during some e-mail conversation, and a couple of them appear on her fanmix as well. Because we share a brain as well as this universe, and our musical tastes just overlap that way.

Bad graphics are all my fault, as usual. Links take you to Sendspace; if that's a problem, let me know.
