Where LadyFox gets a bit overexcited....

[ladyfoxxx]

So I have been a little lost since my re-emergence from The Seven Year Cave. I have been slutting my way around slash fandoms not entirely focused any one pairing, just reading whatever takes my fancy (and continuing to be hella impressed by the number of very fine writers doing fanfic. I mean, wow. Why aren't these people writing professionally?)

So in my fandom promiscuity I stumble into bandom because it looks like it might be comfy. I think I will always be obsessed with musician slash in one way or another. But I immediately feel lost because half the bands I haven't heard of and the other half I know by name but not by tune. I finally see something familiar in the form of My Chemical Romance, because I hey wow, here is a band I listen to and actually own CDs of, so I start reading the fic... and then I see some of the videos....

I was going to cut this for FANNISH SQUEE but dammit I am not going to because I AM NOT ASHAMED! I SQUEE PROUDLY.

and OMG heaven with

• unlimited amounts of High School AU (yum my favourite, Wagger & The Fairy anyone?)
• which of course was inspired by the music video where they are students at a preppy school complete with uniforms and TIES & bonus boykiss on camera
• not to mention HELLO boys in makeup! and tatts! and crazy hair!
• and of course frontman Gerard is a total poser who keeps changing the length/colour of his hair and pouring his heart out everywhere (sound familiar?)

and then madame_d sent me over to crack_van for which I will be eternally grateful because I found the MCR overview which led to the Gerard/Frank Ship Manifesto which is basically four pages of SQUEEEERIFFIC boytouching, hand holding, hugging, cuddling, stroking, posing, lap sitting, beaming, groping, licking and MAKING OUT ON STAGE CONSTANTLY. And there is photo and video of EVERYTHING.

It's like some kind of slash goldmine.

So now I have MCR basically on rotation on my ipod, half a fic written and giant heart shapes in my pupils because crikey I've never seen two boys so in luurve. I haven't gone this rabid fangirl since Affirmation came out.

But my fucking word it is good to be fannishly excited/obsessively fixated on something again! Wahey!

Sadly I know exactly the day I gave in and learned about bandom. October 17. LOL. One of my friends is a huge panic fan and kept flailing, so I finally asked. She linked me to a bunch of manifestos, but I got overwhelmed and tried the fic first.

After being highly confused by a fic where MCR were all kids, I finally read the manifestos, discovered how much frank and Gerard love each other ( and us!!! ) and can never go back, hee.

It's kinda fun finding all the videos and flailing, even if the stuff is 2 years old. Glad to have another new person along!!

It makes me ache to think I came to bandom too late for Summer Of Like, but dude that is just a gift that keeps on giving. There are still new fics about that being written today.

Yay let's be new together!

I agree with the sadness. Missing the 07 shenannigans makes me sad, but at least video exist!!

Yeah new bandom fans!
