Um, yeah so I made a thing... for Xmas. Which was a while ago now. And I totally forgot to crosspost it! (Does anyone even read this thing anymore? I can't even tell.) But yes! I participated in the bandom_holidays exchange, which was superfun and tried to write something sort of action-adventurey for my lovely recipient dr_jasley and mostly managed to riff on the movie Sneakers and throw in some threesome porn because that's how I roll.

It's also sort-of a prequel to The Youngblood Chronicles, but only sort-of because it doesn't have any of the nasty stuff from that universe in it.

Fandom: Bandom - Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco
Pairing/s: Pete/Patrick, Pete/Patrick/Brendon, Patrick/Brendon

Title: Close Quarters
Author: ladyfoxxx
Bands: Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance
Pairing(s): Patrick/Ray, Pete/Mikey, Pete/Patrick, Mikey/Ray, Pete/Patrick/Mikey/Ray
Word Count: 12 800 words

Warning(s): None
Summary:

Warped passes in a blaze of hot nights, broken strings and stolen kisses. The last night of tour finds Patrick, Ray, Pete and Mikey the last guys standing after a long, lazy night of partying. It makes a weird kind of sense that it would be the four of them, Patrick figures. Two couples nearing their use-by date, trading sleep to wring every last moment from the summer.

A/N: This was supposed to be a PWP, but it grew all these feelings! Massive thanks to melusina for wonderful beta that made this a much better story. Huge kudos to pennyplainknits, girlpearl and halfeatenmoon for reading along as I wrote it and convincing me it was good enough.

This fic is set after Over Sharing but you don't have to read that to follow this.

This is still all cee_m's fault.

There is a Torofest happening y'all! Ray-centric fanworks fest! Go, leave prompts, write prompts, make things, spread the love!

melusina made a wonderful fanmix for A Little Infamy

( Awesome Fanmix beneath the cut )

I was extremely excited when I saw who picked my fic to mix for - I knew melusina would "get" the story and this mix is seriously SO GREAT. It really does describe the story so beautifully - every track makes me think of a moment in the fic - and some do it SO well I was SQUEALING.

( My excited blather - mildly spoilery )

Hey look - my first DW crosspost! Go me! (I sure hope this works now). I actually started this post a while ago by my internet has been bodgy so here are some now-out-of-date statistics!

( Top Ten Fics on AO3 meme )


MEME NUMBER TWO! Just because I feel like it,

Give me a title in comments and I tell you the story that would go with it. Note: you can specify a character or pairing too!

I will probably spin you a notfic of some kind.


In other news I got a story in for this year's bandombigbang wave one. Woohoo! I totally decided to write it 2 weeks before draft deadline and just burned out a whole bunch of words that I didn't even read back before I sent it in (my poor poor artist and/or mixer). It's so ridiculous but I kind of love the idea, so I just need to get it finished and polished up. Not that I'm doing memes to procrastinate or anything... I wouldn't do that, right? *adjusts halo*

So hey, long time no post, eh? Stuff has indeed happened! The most exciting of which is I am destined for muskratjamboree in less than a month!

Somehow mizubyte and I managed to get our panels selected! Yay! Except all three were selected and we had to orphan one. Boo! But cee_m grabbed the 3some panel we had to orphan so it'll be awesome! Yay!

Anyway, one of the panels we could NOT give up was Fandom Osmosis: All The Stuff You Know About Fandoms You Aren't Even In panel on the Sunday. We're kicking off the panel with some pub-style pan-fandom trivia.

Now because Miz and I aren't experts in all things fandom and because we are lazy we need YOUR help to come up with trivia questions! What kind of stuff do you know about fandoms you're not in? Are there tidbits you know about your own fandom that you think a casual reader might pick up on?

Example question:
Fandom: Supernatural
Question: "What kind of car does Dean drive?"
Answer: __________

We are collecting questions IN THIS SCREENED-COMMENTS POST Feel free to leave as many suggestions as you like!

Please do not leave trivia question suggestions in THIS post as everyone will see them! (Random squee is welcome though. As are pictures of Ray.)

It's (about two weeks past) that time of year again! Ahahahaha, I am never on time for anything. But I like to do these fic roundups so here we go:

( Fic I wrote in 2012 - the numbers )

Total written: 10 fics, 6 ficlets.
Total wordcount for 2012: 138 200 words
Not bad considering I was working insanely most of the year and didn't feel like I was getting much writing done at all. Definitely wrote less in the latter half of the year, but I had a lot going on in RL.

( That meme with all the deep thoughts and feelings )

Once again, I'd like to thank anyone who's ever read any of my ridiculous ramblings, whether you commented or not. Thanks for being my audience! Massive thanks to all those awesome authors, podficcers, artists and other awesome fangirls and fanboys who keep producing the goods for me to consume. I love you guys.

Please do feel free to weigh in with any opinions in the comments. Even if it's just to tell me about Ray Toro's thighs. In fact, especially if it's about that.
