abuseI've never been in a gang, but I imagine that this is what it would be like if I ever were :) After all, leading a gang isn't so different from being any other kind of military leader - keeping the balance between respect and fear, having eyes in the back of your head, reading everybody else's mind...it is not the job for me!

But Tim Shepard seems like dyed in the wool leader (dictator?) material. Too bad all he's got to rule over is a bunch of bums in a condemned building. He'd make a great cutthroat CEO.

All that to say, I really enjoyed reading this :)

abuseCool one shot, I like your characterisation of Tim. I really like his thoughts on his gang, and his opinion that several of them are waiting to see him falter in some way. That is how I would also imagine them to be, loyal to an ideal rather than a person - if you know what I mean.
But I thought that how he went about getting them back under his control was well shown and I like his final thoughts too, about the other guys wondering if they would be able to handle things as well as him.
I haven't read Triange but I am looking forward to it as I really enjoyed your other story (Middle Ground), hopefully I will have some time over the next couple of weeks!

abuseWhat I love almost as much as your wonderful characterization of Tim (these stories have become Tim's voice for me), is the fact that you take each one of the gang, boil his personality down to a few sentences. Awesome.

abuseI like it quite a bit. You've the "Timness" down quite well, as always.

And I won't bother to copy and paste my favorite parts because you'd wind up with the whole oneshot in this review, but I will say that I just the connections with Artemis's story.

abuseAs always, great. I think I'm addicted to your writing. I love the voice you use when writing about Tim. It's sort of as if he was writing it, but in third person still... That doesn't make sense, but, I guess I mean that your writing style, and word choice and everything matches Tim's character really well. P.S. As I'm a Dally fan, I just have to gape at that little bit of information that has SERIOUS repercussions in Triangle... Okay if you're meaning what I think then ARE YOU SERIOUS?! That's AWESOME Dallas is such a MOFO. If you don't mean it, then ignore the crazy person screams.

abuse>>Trust his own damn brother to want to start a gang war, and him friends with the youngest Curtis kid. He was gonna have to knock Curly’s head in one day. He probably got Hamilton all wired up the night before too, making the fight sound worse than it had been. It’d be a long time before Curly could measure up to Bill’s cool head and that was a damn shame.

Nice rendering of the vernacular and feel of SE Hinton's work. This is very good snapshot of Tim Shepard - he is very believable here.

abuseI loved it. I saw your penname and saw Tim Shepard and I didn't have to read anything else. You write him so well.

How old is Curly suppose to be? 15 - 16?

Anyways, I liked to see what happened with the gang.
Great job, as always.

abuseA nice one-shot. :) You've captured the gang-warfare situation nicely and it's really believable. :)
