Famous Last Words

phelixstar just told me that she got busted reading my porn on her phone. This is not the first time I've had someone tell me this. In fact, I think my favourite story was someone who's computer froze with one of my more salacious scenes on the screen (I believe she referred to it as the "dick goes in" part.)

Anyway, I was curious how many people it had happened to, so here's a poll:

[Poll #1734660]

/end procrastination on my BBB.

So, like the rest of my f-list I shall reveal to you my soul fic!

So I wrote the Gerard/Lyn-Z crossdressing fic Black Satin - here at no_tags or here at my journal. It seems like while the pairing threw some people (it's not exactly one of my ususals - I have only written Gerard/Lyn-Z once before and it was femmeslash because I made Gee a girl so I don't even know if that counts) but a handful of people picked it as me IMMEDIATELY because I am the MOST OBVIOUS.

I had dancinbutterfly with me on claims day and we were both madly scanning the MOMENT the post went up. I remember I was looking for a Frank/Gerard prompt because I feel like I've been neglecting my OTP lately but when I saw Gerard/Lyn-Z crossdressing: Gerard in Lyn-Z's stage outfit - schoolgirl skirt, snug jacket, stockings, panties that one just SPOKE to me.

Writing it was such a marathon, OMG. dancinbutterfly and I hit the pub the Sunday before due date and just knuckled down and WROTE. I got 4k written that day at the pub, Rach and I with our laptops and T joined us later with a book and OMG we are SUCH DORKS that our idea of a good time is going to a pub to WRITE. But even after 5K I hadn't really gotten to the sex. I'm sure everyone on twitter was SO SICK OF ME WHINING all OMG LONG FIC IS LONG WILL THIS NEVER END all day. I tend to get very active on twitter when I am supposed to be doing work. WHAT?

God I can't believe it wound up being 7k of like ONE SCENE of PORN. I am SO WORDY. I used to be able to bang out a fic in 2000 words. Those days are GONE BABY GONE. By the end I had no idea how I felt about it, it just felt like OMG TOO MANY WORDS FOR WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY.

But luckily I had a pikasafire to look it over for me and convince me that YES it's totally worth posting, for which I am MOST grateful. Then shiningartifact totally squeezed in time to beta it on her lunchbreak at work on the DAY OF POSTING with ZERO NOTICE because I am crap with deadlines and she is awesome and made of magic and rainbows. Really C, I owe you SO MUCH, you really improved it and so FAST.

The coolest part of it all is that the prompt I got was brooklinegirl's and I had NO idea that it was when I was writing it~ And apparently people kept guessing that SHE wrote the fic and she DID NOT CORRECT THEM because she was being stealthy and trying to distract people from identifying her totally awesome Making Of fic as hers. Not to mention that shiningartifact knew it was T's prompt when she betaed it and KEPT IT A SECRET like a champ. Ahahahaa. I love this anon thing, it's SO MUCH FUN.

Seriously, I've had SUCH a good time participating and I'll totally be back next year. All the kudos to airgiodslv for running such a great challenge.

Hi Darren. Gosh it's nice to see you looking so goddamn happy. This is Darren's contribution to the It Gets Better Project. He's so incredibly earnest and heartfelt and adorable. I want to hug him until he squeaks.

I imagine all my bandom friends are wondering what the hell he's doing on their flist. Well Savage Garden was my first great fandom love years ago, back in the days before Darren came out and used to write non gender specific songs to be mysterious. I have written far too much smut about this man. That aside, no one was surprised when he finally came out and married the love of his life Richard and even though I'm not into his solo stuff in quite the same way I used to be into SG, it makes me glee to see him out and happy and sharing the It Gets Better message.

Hi Darren. Nice to see you. Thanks so much to mugsyface for pointing me at this.

So I was going to post some more top 5 answers yesterday, but b_dsaint and I ended up writing cracktacular Clueless recast as Bandom chatfic instead. Because we are complete dorks and highly distractable like that. WHOOPS.

Anyway, without further ado, some Top Fives!

( 5 places I'd like to visit )

( 5 celebrity looks I'd like to steal )

and ( 5 favourite foods )

I still have a few more top 5's left, so expect another post at some point.


In the meantime, why not sign up to write some happy Pete/Mikey fic? Because there really will never be enough in the world.




And in other, other news... ( Brendon, what ARE you doing? )

I still owe y'all the Top 5's but I could not resist this meme. It's been a rough couple of days so any love would be, well, love.

the ❝that's my favorite!❞ meme
A FANFICTION PRAISE MEME

You should do it too so I can wax on about how much I adore you.

Got a question? Gerard Way is the answer!
Gerard Way so good you want it again.
It's not a trick, it's a Gerard Way.
Gerard Way is an investment in good appearance.

I have been playing with Sloganmaker too much, it seems!

FIRSTLY! Karma has been a HUGE BITCH to saxihighlandck and money woes look like they might make her cancel a much longed for trip back home (including non-refundable shit). So! She is WHORING HERSELF OUT and selling her soul fic to try to raise some $$$. CHECK OUT HER BARGAIN FIC SALE HERE. You could purchase a fic or fics of your VERY OWN and help out a fellow fangirl in need. I've also whored myself out to her cause and am offering three fics for sale for her - buyers choice. ANYTHING YOU WANT. Send the poor girl home already.

Secondly, huge thanks to everyone who wrote me fic for my Revenge of the Reverse Ficlet Meme thingy. IT WORKED. YOU BROKE MY BLOCK. I AM WRITING AGAIN. So thank you!

( List of awesome stories behind the cut )

I am SPOILED ROTTEN YOU GUYS. I FUCKING LOVE YOU. It's never to late to claim a prompt and rockeandroll, bebunny, villiagegreen and gala_apples still have prompts on offer too, so go see if you get bitten by a bunny (because if no one writes violent moshpit sexings for gala_apples I MIGHT DIE.)

In other news, I MADE A FANMIX because my tremendous love for brooklinegirl's amazing fic This Town Is Wrong can apparently only be expressed through song. Or rather, through 17 very carefully selected songs. Download it and enjoy! And if you haven't read the fic yet, DEAR GOD, do yourself a favour and go and read it. It's WONDERFUL. Gorgeous, adorable, heart-clenchy and satisfying and it has artist Gerard and teenage Frank, and some of the hottest sex I have ever read EVER (and I have read a LOT of porn. A LOT.)

Speaking of porn, if you haven't already downloaded shiningartifact's awesome podfic of A Matter Of Logistics by brooklinegirl what is WRONG with you? It's delicious, incredibly well read and incineratingly hot. I have a HUGE crush on shiningartifact's voice and I just want her to to read me porn FOREVER.

Also! b_dsaint is running a Bandom Video Music Awards over at her LJ and she's currently taking nominations. Categories are awesome, with stuff like Best AU Storyline Video, Best Slashy Moment in a Video, Worst Acting and all kinds of fun shit. Go nominate!

In conclusion! Let's watch Matt Skiba eat cupcakes.

( THERE IS FROSTING LICKING YOU GUYS. IT'S LIKE FOOD PORN. I'M DYING HERE. DYING. )

So - amazingly - yesterday's chat actually ran the full 12 hours, and though it got quiet at times there were always people around. Much fic was discussed, videos were squee'd at, friends were made! Over the course of the day 20 people dropped by to chat, some for longer than others. For those of you who made friends and want to connect on LJ, here's a list of attendees - go be friendly!

( List of awesome attendees! )

Of course, once we got talking fic the recs started pouring out and we collectively decided what the world really needs is a book club for bandom fic! So we can rec stuff and discuss it. Sounds like fun right? Well then, bandombookclub was born! Get your ass over there and join! Once a week we'll take turns reccing a favourite fic, so if you have tabs and tabs of awesome you just MUST share with the world we want YOU. Or if you feel like you've read EVERYTHING in bandom and just want to get at those gems you haven't found yet - we ALSO want you. Get on over and join up.

Thanks to all who came, saw and squee'd. You're a pretty awesome bunch and it was a spectacular way to spend a lazy Sunday. Lots of folk said we should do it again, and I agree, but maybe not quite such a marathon next time!

I now have THIS ENTIRE SUNDAY at my disposal and I propose the following![Poll #1593208]
WHAT DO YOU THINK? I know, I know, I have given you no notice and I am drunkened, but STILL. CAN YOU DO IT?

Feel free to pimp this out! MORE IS MORE AWESOME.

There are lots of exciting things going on!

Firstly! b_dsaint and dancinbutterfly are coming to the UK for visits in the winter! Cuddles! Meetups! Shenanigans!


Secondly! I am going to The Download Festival! I just bought my ticket!

Is anyone else going to Download this year? TELL ME! We should hang! Drop me a line - I need someone to see The Damned Things with me because no one I know in RL has heard of them.


Thirdly! bandombigbang! It's nearly posting time! I am so excited for new fics to read and even though I am still fiddling with my giant monster (65k people... woah) I am kind hanging for my posting date and OMG fanmixes and OMFG art! ART!


Fourthly! I signed up for KINK BINGO! Because there will never be enough porn in the WORLD and apparently I need to write more of it.

( Want to see my kink bingo card? )

So guys? Suggestions? Prompts? Squee? LET'S TALK FILTH.

Holy shit that's a lot of exclamation points.

Okay so I am mentally twelve and I can never resist doing a stupid meme.

Shag, Marry, Cliff>

1. Comment to this and I will give you 3 people. [Tell me if you want to play]
2. Post this meme with your answers.
