Not dead... yet!

HI HI HI.

Look I'm not dead! I am just... IDEK, not around much. Those who are on my twitter feed will know that I recently started a new awesome yet demanding job which is eating me alive, and prior to that I was being eaten alive by my crazed, last minute writing spree to get my

bandombigbang fic done. I'm still kind of flailing in the general direction of my bbb fic, I had to request a late posting date because oh man I need EVERY SINGLE SECOND and new job = crazy demanding.

So really, there ain't that much left of me that hasn't been nibbled on from all sides, my spare time these days is ZERO.

But enough of all that palaver!

Can I be the LATEST to say thank you to everyone who responded to my thread on the You Are Beautiful Anonymeme? Just, I don't even know where to start, I think I'm going to have to save up that thread to read on days when the world is kicking my ass because it's SO wonderful and life affirming and happymaking for me. God, I adore you guys. For those of you who said you don't know me that well or wished you knew me better - STEP UP bb's! I'm right here! I try to be approachable, I swear I do.

Anyway, let's talk about FIC. See, last week I got to meet

chuckaloonie IN PERSON. And oh man I could NOT STOP HUGGING HER. She is tiny and adorable and so so sweet and she gave me candy from Mexico and we talked about fic and boys and stupidity with

kopperblaze,

xclusiveantonym,

never_coming_bk (who made amazing CUPCAKES!) and

piratesunk was there for a while, but way before me because I am the LATEST.

Anyway, awesome fangirl lovepiles aside - Laura has not been able to keep up with fandom lately (what, with the whole, having a life thing) and she's been MISSING ALL THE FIC.

So, she has charged me and

bebunny to make a list of the ten not-to-be-missed fics of the last six months. And since I believe in ~~being lazy~~ being efficient I thought perhaps y'all could remind me - what is a recent fic that really REALLY knocked your socks off? I'm already percolating some of my own ideas, but I need some reminding.

A few little details as to preference! Bandom of course, MCR-centric preferred, and she's not really big on Killjoys. Also, if Bob's in it there may be tears of joy. And she likes her porn.

THANK YOU OH F-LIST OF WISDOM. *hugs you all* I missed the shit out of you guys.

*HUGS YOU BACK*

I know your life is nuts write now, but how exciting for you! And I wish you good luck in the job and with the BBB. I'm still here, if you need another lookover. :D

OOOOH I haven't even READ that one! *bookmarks for later*

*HUGS AND TWIRLS*

You got all the BBB luck girl, so happy for you. Thanks for the offer I may yet take you up on it. I need to do MORE work on it before it's ready for fresh eyes though. I know, I am the LATEST. /o\

All her fics are amazing! Seriously, read them ALL!

OMG, did I seriously use the wrong "right?" Goes to show where my mind is! Lol.

Whenever you're ready, I am here. I have no life, so. :)

Oh man I use the wrong write ALL THE TIME. My brain is a scary place.

You have no life? Honey I have no life. Perhaps for different reasons but the outcome is the same, eh? You're awesome. :D

Lol, mine too. The Bulltproof Heart line "Get me out of my head; because it's getting kind of cramped, you know." That's MY brain. There's a party going on in there. Sometimes I'm even invited!

Lol. My no life affords me more time to do the things like BBBs, but you no life at least gives you money. :)

ty for the pimpage, bb ♥

It's well-deserved, love. :)

You met Laura!! SO LUCKY. I miss her ;________________________;

I know they don't all have Bob but they are SO GOOD >:( SHE MUST READ THEM ANYWAY >:(

♥

I miss YOU too, dude!

OMG YAY. God I LOVED Becoming Joan and Any Note You Can Reach SO MUCH.

I am kind of shocked at how many of these I haven't read yet. How can I be making a list for Laura when I'm not even up to date myself? *flaps hands* Not enough hours in the day.

Thanks bb! You're the best and you'll totally be getting words from me soon. ♥ ♥

WOAH HANG ON THERE WAS A SEQUEL TO ASSHOLE!FRANK???

OMG going STRAIGHT to the list. Laura ADORES Asshole!Frank.

Good to hear that you're still alive ;-)

Straight from my delicious, stories that've knocked my socks off since December last year:

jjtaylor: The Detective's Secret and the Mystery of the Dancing Flowers (Frank/Gerard, Bob/Ray; 84,890 words) REC: The sequel to 'Gerard Way's (Vampire)...' is even better than its precursor. It's fantastic and wonderful and beautiful and completely heartbreaking. I'm completely fascinated by this world. It looks so much like ours on the surface but the more you delve into it the stranger it gets. The characters are all wonderful and the writing is fantastic. (2010-12-26)

tuesdaysgone: The Kids From Yesterday (Gerard/Korse, Mikey/Ray; 27,190 words) REC: Gerard's life in Battery City, from drunken mess to model employee to rebel. An absolutely fantastic story. It creates a Battery City full of life, gives us a terrifying Korse you feel sorry for, and a fascinating Gerard. The way he relates to Mikey, how he's both aware and not what the treatment's done to him, the way he tries to fill the void of emotional feelings with physical sensations, how he reacts when he finds out the truth, it's all so terribly right and plausible. Gerard's and Korse's relationship is intense and complicated and completely heartbreaking. (2011-01-23)

theopteryx: Might I Have a Bit of Earth (Frank/Gerard, Mikey/Alicia; 14,470 words) REC: An absolutely fabulous story about Gerard the space pirate, his brother Mikey, and Frank the stowaway set in a bleak, gritty universe. The world building is fantastic and the characterisations, particularly of Gerard, just about broke my heart with how much having grown up in this particular universe have changed them from the guys we know in ours. I would read a million words about this Gerard and this universe! (2011-01-16) - I haven't had time to read the sequel yet, Apastron, but from what I hear it's just as awesome.

rhymer: Deadly Masquerade (gen with some Frank/Gerard UST; 41,400 words) REC: In 1792 the Black Parade has become famous for saving people from the guillotine. Frank, an idealistic revolutionary, has been recruited by Korse to uncover their secret. What he discovers will change his life. This is absolutely superb! One of the best stories I've read in a long time. I love the atmosphere and mood and the way it blends the serious and thoughtful with outright humour and silliness. The Frank characterisation is first class and the way the real world of the French Revolution has been woven together with the Black Parade and Killjoys universes is absolutely fabulous. (2011-04-24)

I have read only half of these. I FAIL at fandom omg. Thank god I have you *clings*

I can't agree more with you on the ones I HAVE read though. I'd already halfway earmarked TKFY for my list, but I'm hesitating because she doesn't really want Killjoys. But OMG it is THE killjoys Origin fic.

Clearly this requires further thought!

Thanks so much BB.

You must read Deadly Masquerade, it's absolutely awesome!! I think Laura will like it too because it got a great Bob even though he's only a side character.

I completely forgot about the OT3 stories I just realised. I don't know if they're really Laura's cup of tea though?

And a couple of Bob centric stories I forgot about:

turps33: And the Embers Never Fade (Bob/Mikey, MCR GSF; 45,460 words) EC: Bob finds a crashed motorbike and an unconcious, badly hurt Killjoy in the desert and brings them home. This is just the beginning of his dealings with the Killjoys. A very nice story with a great Bob characterisation. I liked how the Killjoys and the way they're opening up to Bob is written and I loved the glimpses we got of other people's lives in the zones. It really brought to life what the Killjoys are fighting for. (2011-01-23)

turps: Mr. Bob (Bob/Mikey; 25,280 words) REC: Bob is a pre-school teacher who needs nothing and no one, or so he likes to believe. Very sweet story. (2011-04-24)

Edited 2011-06-01 21:29 (UTC)

Yes! I was already considering the OT3 verse - I mean IDK how Laura feels about Grant Morrison, but dear god that verse is awesome. Best porn. BEST.

And YES! Pink Jeep 'verse! I hope I would have remembered that on my own but hell yeah that one. Delicious and totally Bob oriented. Thank god for Turps.

I would like to rec fic, especially for Laura, but I've been crazy busy too. :( In fact I am typing this before 6am because early to work today because someone in the government fucked up again. I'm sure there are fics! I just haven't had time to look them up! The only thing that's coming to mind this instant is This Anus Scene, It's An Arms Race (http://jedusaur.livejournal.com/15054.html) in which bandom is a porn company called Fueled By Semed. It appealed to me for... reasons that will probably make sense if you read it. Sex is funny.

HELLOOOO *hugs*

We are all crazy busy with our crazy lives. Stupid pollies messing up and making you get up early. I CALL BULLSHIT.

Lol you had me at porn company, and then Fueled By Semen was a final sell. You know I love pornstar fic! LOL I have a feeling I will love the shit out of that one. Thanks for the rec bb!

♥

Holy shit, my early morning pre-work spelling is awful.

The lol pollies fuckup turned out to be mostly just funny rather than drama. The early mornings bite but it's not too often and most of the time I love it. I want to know about your new monster job, though! Even though I have a feeling I know what it is already.

Oh, um, I think I wrote a Bob/Mikey fic a while ago if Laura is into that? Not exactly 'fics not to be missed' but it has Bob in it. Just can't find the link at work. And I wrote a lol Waybros fic based on that TFLN thing.

ALSO Surprise Toy (http://jedusaur.livejournal.com/17835.html) is one I very much enjoyed, though it might just be a Meg's Weird Kink thing. (Gerard and Lyn are monogamous, they just sleep with other people sometimes, b/c they regard their other partners as toys rather than people, in a totally consensual way. Look it's just awesome.)

ty also for the pimpage, person I don't know! Your recs are making me wiggle my toes in joy. :D :D

Thank you for noticing, person I'd like to know! I've been reading a bit of your fic and thought "Hey, this is someone I'd like to be friends with" and then "No you know what that would be weird."

But I love how off-beat a lot of your stuff is, I mean, particularly the two I just recced, but other things too. And were you the person who wrote 'Bottoming From The Top'? Anyway, you write a bunch of my weirder preferences and I'm just going to go ahead and add you. :D

Thank you so much! "Bottoming From The Top" was indeed me, and I do indeed write a lot of wacky shit. I'm glad it appeals to you. :)

While I know you're not dead it's good to see other evidence of that!

I'm glad you all had such a good time <3

I am still trying not to disappear from LJ all the time. I'm glad I've got you on Twitter bb.

<3

If she's familiar with Glee, this is a thing of beauty and wonder, and it features Bob being awesome.

i absolutely fail at keeping up with fandom at the moment so i just made some flaily arms at the comments here :)

good luck with your new job! and i'm glad you all had such a good time, fangirl time is the best time ♥
