Vera has always dreamt of being a singer, but is held back by her judgmental mother, a former singer herself who shames Vera for her size.

Ashton is no longer afraid of letting his parents down, and when he meets Vera he realizes that with her voice and his songs maybe he can stop being a disappointment to himself.

Together, they set out to become the best rock band of our time because We, The Young have sh*t to say.

NEW A/N: i'm putting all of this together in a single chapter and switching it to the end! if you're a new reader, the disclaimers below still apply <3

second foray into this here site with a teen fiction novel, huzzahh!

gather 'round for some story time:

so, this is a rewrite.

full disclosure, most of you may not know but i've been writing for thirteen years now (holy guacamole, way to date myself), with humble beginnings in obscure anime fanfiction thankyouverymuch. it took me four years to move on to posting my first original novel online, created purely to satisfy my own music snobbery. and IT WAS SO BAD but i was SO PROUD of myself that i thought it was the best thing since sliced bread.

(side note: you're seeing a lot of food references here because i'm hungry)

it was maybe a couple of years after i'd finished posting it that i realized it sucked. the plot was too slow. descriptions were too long-winded. dialogue wasn't snappy. my main characters didn't make things happen, things happened to them, etc. i deleted it from the interwebz six years ago, never to be seen again.

imagine my surprise as i'm writing HALL OF FAME at the beginning of this year, when my mind slaps me in the face, grabs me by the collar and screams at me: YOU WILL REMAKE IT, AND IT WILL BE 100% DIFFERENT. and because i'm a wimp i just said, YES, MASTER and got to work.

so here we are. the planets have aligned and i've completely revamped something i wrote ten years ago. life's weird, man.

♥ still, i hope you like it! ♥

disclaimer time (please read in its entirety):

- i'll update monday, wednesday and friday for as long as i can and/or run out of pre-written chapters. sometimes shit happens, so i kindly ask you for your patience.

- my main character is venezuelan (yay!), and so is her mother. they occasionally use spanish words/sentences/slang. i will not translate it in text. people don't say something in one language and then repeat it in another one. you should be able to understand by context. if this ruffles your feathers and you leave a rude comment about it, you're bye bye to me. no ifs and buts.

- this is different from HALL OF FAME in many ways. it can be read as a standalone because the characters are not related. it's also going to be a tad longer.

- there will be colorful language because... hi, it me, a potty mouth.

- do not steal any part of my work.

- be respectful in comments.

- do enjoy and if you do, spread the word!
