HI, I'M SICK.

So I spent the day curled up on the couch with my doona (duvet or comforter to you foreigners) and trying not to cough. My body has SUCH a sick sense of humour to be doing this NOW.

But the good news is! I have a

bebunny! She's crashing here tonight, then tomorrow we're setting off with

xclusiveantonym for Manchester where we'll meet up with

dancinbutterfly and

krisipanics to see those crazy Chimerical Romances again. And again on Saturday in Nottingham with

dancinbutterfly because I am INSANE.

So, body, no time to get SICK now! OKAY? I am taking ALL the vitamin C.

In the meantime - have a meme!

Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Feel free to ask about anything and I'll tell you the premise or paste you a tidbit for any of these.

Okay, so my filenames aren't all that descriptive, I am wavering as to whether to note the pairings too, or at least the verses since a bunch of them appear to be sequels. Let me know if there's any that sound interesting.

I feel you on the illness front: I'm voiceless and pitbruised after Birmingham and Glasgow, and willing myself to feel human for Nottingham. Sounds like you've been looking after yourself, I'm sure you'll feel better tomorrow, and the adrenaline of the gig will pump you up as well :]

And because I'm shameless, I would very much like to know more about the MCR-Misfits fic >:D

Ahahhaa - I am so late to respond, but better late than never. I am STILL sick after my run of 3 MCR gigs and the Planetary Assault Party. But it's worth it to have gone, those are irreplaceable experiences.

Okay, so the MCR-Misfits fic is that crossover I was banging on about a while back - around the same time I started saying very loudly MISFITS IS NOT MY NEW FANDOM. Ever since seeing the show and seeing just how many similarities there are between Simon and Gerard I just want to write fic with them interacting, talking shit about the Smiths and Sci-fi and comic book heroes and needlephobia and possible even slashing them. So of course that formed itself into an idea for a crossover, where I timeline-fuck it so that Gerard goes to a posh art school in London instead of SVA, but he winds up going on a massive bender the night of the huge storm and wakes up having totalled the college art studio but with no memory of doing it. Thus he winds up in the Community Payback program.

Have an excerpt!

Orange is not Gerard's colour.

In fact, no colour is Gerard's colour. He tends to avoid colour. For a wannabe artist he dresses quite monochromatic: Black. Faded black. Grey. Black. More black.

If Mikey were here, he'd say that black is Gerard's colour, and Gerard would say that black isn't a colour, it's a shade - white, black, grey, charcoal - all shades. And Mikey would not-smile, poke Gerard with a pointy limb and call him an art nerd who leans on technicalities.

That's what Mikey would do if he were here. Of course, he's not here. He's back home in Jersey, not here in the locker room of an ancient crumbling community centre, in a postcode with letters in it, in a country so old it has buildings that have been standing longer his own country has had a name. Mikey's not here to see the bright, ugly orange jumpsuit with "COMMUNITY PAYBACK" stencilled messily on the back and a vague mysterious stain down one side.

Gerard holds it up, his nose wrinkling a little. How does this even work? Does he put it on over his clothes, or is he supposed to undress first? He doesn't want to undress. Especially not here, in a locker room that feels so much like high school he's practically getting a ghost wedgie from muscle memory.

"Your head goes here. Hands here. Legs down there." A skinny arm waves in front of his face, gesturing towards the orange suit and brushing Gerard's nose on the way. He glances sideways to the owner of the arm to find a kid about Mikey's age with hair as curly and crazy as Ray's, talking at him in an Irish accent that makes it sound like he's chewing the inside of his mouth. "I know it's very complicated."

Okay, so THIS? Is my new favourite piece of the internet until this fic gets posted in full. Miscreant art-student Gerard ruminating on the colour-status of black, and Nathan taunting him and being so utterly Nathan in just two sentences: this is delicious. Please tell me Gerard will get annoyed by how none of the Misfits can pronounce his name?

(Your recap post about the Planetary Party was amazing, by the way: I was very glad to read an amusing and legible recap - prior to your post, I was getting very bitter at illiterate six year olds on Tumblr xD)

LOOOOOOL. I love that I am not the only one obsessed with this show. And OMG of COURSE they'll all pronounce Gerard's name wrong. OF COURSE. That's totally going in! THANK YOU.

(I'm so amused that you descriped my Planetary Party recap as legible. It certainly didn't seem legible when I was writing it, it's like 99.9% squee. But I'm so glad you got something out of it! ♥)

I managed a season-binge during a night of insomnia, and was lucky that I only had about 3 weeks to wait until season 2, but now the wait for season 3 is ever worse. I am impatient and like bingeing on things *tantrumface*. And YES, there is no way they would say it right, Nathan would totally call him Garry (at best), and the idea of Kelly's accent meeting Gerard's name is kinda making me pull gigglefaces at my laptop.

I can't talk, I know I can't pronounce his name AT ALL. I always try, and my accent just refuses. "Juh-raaaard, Jur-ard, Jeh-rarrrrd. Bugger."

NATHAN WOULD TOTALLY CALL HIM GARRY :D

GERARD WAY INTERACTING WITH NATHAN FUCKING YOUNG UNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I LOVE YOU

Black isn't a colour, it's a shade. Ghost wedgies. Memories of Mikey and Ray. <333333333 Also: what is Gerard's power?! How do he and Simon end up as friends? WHEN DOES RED-HAIRED, SVELTE DANGER DAYS GERARD GET TO COME BACK FROM THE FUTURE AND WOW THEM HIM WITH RAYGUN SKILLS O_____________O

Oh my god WRITE THIS. PLEASE. I am ALWAYS AROUND to bounce ideas off of. ♥_______________♥

OH DEAR GOD I WANT THIS. I KNOW I HAVE SAID THIS BEFORE, BUT READING A SNIPPET HAS ONLY STRENGTHENED THE WANT. SUCH GLORY!! *________*
