Argh! Deadlines looming... *scribbling frantically*

I'm doing a short story (no more than 2500 words but probably quite smutty) based in 1978 London, a couple of very macho gay punks. While I love my betae to pieces, and trust them implicitly, they are both american and were not around in London in 1978 covered in make up and with very silly hair like I was. *is solely responsible for the hole in the ozone layer*

Do I have any ex-punks (part time or otherwise) on my list? Do you know all the words to Hersham Boys? Were you THERE? If so, would you be happy to look it over when it's done? Just for anachronisms?

*begs like Bichon*

Having grown up with British punk from the Pistols onward and managed a punk rock band, I can offer help if you want. :)

Thanks darlin'

You were a little young and a long way away from the time though , I think! But if you want a sneaky peek, I'm more than happy to send over. You are the nearest I've got, as the older fogeys on my flist were NOT taking dodgy drugs and dying their hair green.

*G*

Well yeah, I was 6 in 1978. However, managing a punk band who were there and growing up in the punk band scene, you get a pretty good idea. I think I've spent more than 3/4 of my life in the punk scene in one way or another - punter, fanzine writer, band photographer, girlfriend, manager, door bitch, etc, etc, ad nauseum.

My mohawk was purple then pink, does that qualify?

Well, I was in London in 1978, but I was a fairly sane law-abiding working girl. In an office. *sigh*. Really.

Now you were my greatest hope!

I was so boring, sorry! The image of the begging Bichon is appealing though so I had to comment!

Now you've angered the Bichon...

No 1978 punks on my flist

I'd be happy to read over it but not sure how helpful.

Sorry Mr. Bichon ;)
