A/N: Huge thanks to girlpearl for excellent beta that improved the story tenfold, and to pennyplainknits and melusina for reading along as I wrote it and encouraging this madness.

So at 10:30pm on November 1 I decided I was going to try to do NaNoWriMo this year. Because I make all my important decisions at the LAST FUCKING MINUTE. I am completely unprepared (character outlines? plot points? WHAT?) and I am writing a story based around a musical playlist (not this one. Ha.)

Obviously when one is scrambling to get one's word-count up, one needs a mix, full of motivational "I am a literary WARRIOR" type of music. And also some power ballads so you can pretend you are in an 80's movie montage WRITING YOUR HEART OUT. Possibly in SLOW MOTION. Or no, rather, FAST MOTION. Yes, that would be better.

To all my fellow NaNo-ers, and in fact, ANYONE writing a story for a challenge, or anyone who just finds that writing a story IS a challenge, I give you this mix:

I've been meaning to post this for a while, but it HAS to go up today because mizubyte needs to stop listening to sad music.

I know, I know I'm terrible. I'm way behind on comments AGAIN and my flist AGAIN and I am blaming work AGAIN.

Anyway - prior to all the BUYING TICKETS and the release of the AWESOME new MCR single and all the FANTASTIC new interviews and canon and tweets, I actually meant to make this post, and maybe now that everyone's had time to digest the INCREDIBLE INFLUX OF CANON, you might be ready for some more awesome:

Firstly, heads up motorbabies, defect_no9 has ripped a Dr Deathdefying broadcast right off the airwaves and turned into ones and zeroes for us. Check it out, it's A Dr DeathDefying Pirate Radio Bootleg

Seriously, this is an AWESOME fanmix. This is the music to listen to while we WAIT FOR THE FUCKING ALBUM. defect_no9 whipped this up for This Might Get Messy, Kids but it totally works for pretty much all of dustverse/killjoys 'verse. Listen to it while you read all the new fic based on MCR's awesome new world. IT'S MUSIC TO FUEL A REVOLUTION, MOTORBABIES.

Speaking of TMGMK - podklb is working on a podfic for it. HOW BOUNCY AM I ABOUT THIS? VERY FUCKING BOUNCY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. She hasn't released it yet, so go and bang down her door and let her know how much you want to hear it. MAKE SOME NOISE.

And speaking of dustverse - does everyone already know about dustverse? I'm late to this party aren't I? It's a comm for fic, icons, discussion, art - anything and everything to do with MCR's amazing new 'verse. There's already a bunch of awesome content up there.

Last but DEFINITELY not least, an AMAZING ANONYMOUS POSTER, left me Gerard/Trans Am carsex commentporn. I can say in all honesty I have NEVER read carsex before and while the idea was kind of fascinating (and weird), the reality is fucking hot (and weird). I'm serious, check it out. It's also a completely believable kink for Gerard.

So yes, there is some awesome that's out there, and it looks like there's so much more awesome on the way as everyone starts diving into the Killjoys 'verse, plus all the other awesome fic that's coming. And hey, the single is up for sale tomorrow WOO! And NME is saying that Danger Days is the best rock record of the year by such a margin that you actually feel rather embarrassed for everybody else. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Can't. Wait.

ETA! I totally forgot that b_dsaint has published the ultimate canon cheat sheet: The Bandom Timeline - detailing all the significant events for the bandom bands side-by-side. It's amazing and I'm already referring to it constantly. Go check it out and tell her she's awesome (because she is).

bexless' mix may look like an eclectic bag of tunes, but it really plays like a soundtrack. There's some incredibly fun and upbeat songs rolled together with some real heart-string tuggers. I love it dearly and can't help feeling like I'm digging deep into the heads of the boys when I listen to it (which is rather a lot).

All up a really superb varied mixup and put together by the author I single-handedly hold responsible for making Frank/Gerard my OTP. How lucky am I? Pretty damn lucky.

jezrana put together a bunch of really well chosen songs that are not only all great tracks, but just so incredibly fitting to the fic. It's a great mix for riding around in cars, getting drunk and falling in love. And look at the beautiful art! Their FACES! Frank's lip ring! The pizza!
