Thom Yorke and Cheesecake

Radiohead's Loophole competition brings together a disparate group of fans online, to form a close community, united by friendship, relationships, sex, bands, collaborations and connections both musical and personal - mostly with each other, but also sometimes with Radiohead themselves.

In Chapter 43, Lucy must choose between what she wants, and what she knows Thom needs, even if he can't admit it to himself. And in Chapter 44, everyone finally gets the happy endings they deserve.

As this story is drawing to its conclusion, I've set up a comment thread if anyone wants to ask any questions or leave any feedback on the LJ: http://rhcheesecakefac.livejournal.com/7992.html

This is primarily a story about fandom, and internet communities. Although Radiohead do appear throughout the story, the main focus of the story, and the main characters are all fans. At least, until towards the end, when Radiohead go on tour, and real life and internet fandom collide head on.

Warnings: Lots of artistic license has been taken with the timelines of certain musical events. Most of the action takes place in cyberspace, so there is lots of bad language, flaming, trolling and internet bullying, including sexist, homophobic and racist language. Also: MAY CONTAIN DUBSTEP.

Jonny Greenwood Is The Controller after he takes control of the malfunctioning Cheesecake Archive, then Three Characters Go In Search Of An Author Self-Insert. And if you're still reading, you finally find out what the hell been going on.

Thanks to Twisted Words for the image meme.

Thank you so much to Kinchi23 for allowing me to use her character, Gwen, and the world of her story, Hearing Damaged. Borrowed with humour, and huge amounts of love.

Inspired by a prompt suggested by nononono11 so blame / thank her for the concept: Thom and Jonny joking around about Thonny with a fangirl leads to... actual Thonny!

Thom mistakenly agrees to an interview with a "Feminist Porn Magazine." Complications ensue. Sexy complications.

Advance notice, the ending is pretty grim, and will probably come as a massive shock, so consider yourselves warned.

Inspired by many, many Thom Yorke interviews I've read/watched on the internet, this is an attempt to construct a kind of character-sketch of a quintessential "Thom Yorke Interview" - but also very clearly inspired by a specific interview where Thom had such chemistry - such specifically sexual chemistry - with the interviewer that I wanted to explore that, and answer the question "What if...?"

This story also contains alternate lifestyles, frank discussion of Asexuality, consensual but very rough and sometimes violent sex, paganism, folk dancing, wife-swapping, cheese-eating vegans, and also lesbians. Do not read if offended by any of this.

Ed's lazy idyll at Abingdon School is shattered by the sudden appearance of a new boy, a rebellious gymnast and troublemaker.

Scene by scene remake of the film "If...." by Lindsay Anderson, starring teenage Radiohead.
