Famous Last Words

Hey hey hey so it's V-day and apparently I should care. I kind of don't, really, though I would happily make out with everyone on my flist right now. Actually that isn't just a VDay thing, that is true of me EVERY day!

So, no_tags was fun, wasn't it? I wrote that one that I have since heard referred to as "THE CREEPY STALKER THRU THE WINDOW ONE" and apparently it was obvious FROM SPACE that it was me. This kind of surprised me a little! Because usually I write like a long PWP where it's mostly sex, and this one had PLOT and as I said to greedy_dancer NO ONE EXPECTS PLOT FROM ME, DO THEY? But apparently I smeared my id all over the page and my id looks a lot like Gerard being a creepy stalker with some fake boyfriends thrown in for good measure. Nice one, id.

(Fine, okay, I'll admit the voyeuristic side of things was probably a dead giveaway but WHATEVS.)

( blather about the prompt-picking and writing process )

Also, I got a story! eldee_fic got my prompt Frank/Gerard - this wasn't part of the plan and wrote You Live Life - a really gorgeous wingfic with some lovely imagery and it's her VERY FIRST bandom fic and it's LOVELY. You should read it!

So yeah, Sunday afternoon was FANGIRL MEETUPS!

( Fangirls in London ahoy! )

Last little no_tags thing, they are doing a bonus round, and if anyone were to write my spare prompt 32. Ray/Mikey - Ray gets way more action than anyone realizes. Mikey figures this out - I will give you my FIRST BORN. Or a cookie. Your choice! Hey, it doesn't hurt to ask, right?

Okay, LASTLY, here are some stupid faces for V-Day!



( IAN WOULD LIKE YOU TO COME INSIDE )

Happy Hallmark Day you gorgeous things!

So the Author reveals for bandomstuffsit have gone up!

The person who wrote my most excellent gift The Things Frank Plays is s0ckpupp3t who is someone I'm not very familiar with so YAY now I get to go and backread lots of wonderful things! She did such a great job of filling the fic with things I love, I'm going to be devouring her masterlist with gusto.

...and apparently it wasn't at all obvious FROM SPACE which one I wrote:

The One Where Ryan Ross Thinks He Knows Everything - always-a-girl!Spencer/Ryan/Brendon, NC-17 - Original Post

YES. I WROTE PANIC. Not only did I write Panic, I wrote bb!OT3 high school Panic fic with always-a-girl!Spencer. Because apparently when I decide to write outside my comfort zone, I go WAY OUT of my comfort zone.

( blather about the writing process )

Also, the BB OT3 high school AU was my SECOND attempt at writing this fic. My first attempt was going to be always-a-girl!Spencer/Ryan/Brendon established relationship fic where Ryan fucks up his flight on Christmas Eve and instead of having their first Christmas in LA like they planned, Brendon and Spencer have to road trip to Salt Lake City to find him and they have their first Christmas together in a hotel room at a random Holiday Inn. With sex. Punishing Ryan for missing his flight sex. Of course I got one scene into that fic before it all petered out and I just had to switch tracks if I wanted ANY hope of finishing on time.

I still have that first failed attempt at that fic, and I'm going to post it here like some kind of DVD-extra:

( DVD EXTRA! A scene from The One Where Ryan Misses His Flight )

So that was my bandomstuffsit adventure. How was yours? Was it easy to write your fic, or excruciatingly hard? Were you writing for someone you knew, or a stranger? Did you have to challenge yourself to fill your recipient's wishes, or did they turn out to be your long lost fic soulmate? Was there any fic you were DYING to find out who wrote? (I was desperate to know who wrote my gift, as well as the gorgeous Frank+Ways fic, which turned out to be sneaky_sena so my masterlist-backreading-frenzy is only getting larger and larger...)

HI I AM STUCK AT WORK ON A SATURDAY TALK TO MEEEE

Okay, I was going to wait for stuffsit reveals so I could do final numbers, but I am too impatient! Here is my 2011: A Year In Fic post

( Fic I wrote last year, with commentary )

Total number of fics: 19 fics, 2 "commentfics" that are really fics (over 1000 words), 2 not!fics, 4 ficlets, 1 podfic
Total word count for 2011: 144 296 words (excludes my bandomstuffsit fic)

If you add on the 50 000 words I wrote for my NaNoWrimo, and my stuffsit numbers that gets me up around the 200k mark! I'm happy with that.

( Those meme questions with all the deep thoughts and feelings )

Now that's a lot of navel gazing and a whole LOT of words! If you got through all that I love you. And if you've read ANY of my crazy ramblings this year, even if you didn't comment on them - thank you. If you've ever left me a comment or recc'ed my fic to someone, or listened to me whine about how HARD it all is, word-warred with me, beta'ed for me or told me I could do it - I love you and thank you.

If something I've written made you smile, or made your temperature rise, made you sad or made you think, then I'm doing something right. Thanks for being around this last year.

Feel free to share any of your own opinions if you have them!

I'm BACK Bitches!

So hey, guess what I did on Friday? I posted my bandombigbang! At like, ass-o-clock in the morning because I HAD to get it out before the weekend and there was no way I was gonna have time to do it at work. I spent all of Friday being sleep deprived and slap happy but I'm so SO relieved to have it done. I mean, I know it could have used another few days polishing but W/E, W/E, gawd I'm just glad to have it FINISHED. I will have my EVENINGS BACK. (Seriously I was spending every spare moment I had working on that thing. I really cut it fine. Thank GOD for mizubyte and desfinado being awseome.)

Oh lord, I can't believe I actually finished it and posted it.

( Wherein I blather about my bbb and how it came about. )

Anyhoo, if you like the sound of a great big pile of words that is basically me using time travel as an excuse to write lots of porn and dress skunkhawk!Frank in Killjoys garb, feel free to check out James Cameron Got It Wrong. It's like my love letter to the Terminator movies, right down to the ridiculous logic and plot holes. You have to love James Cameron for giving us those.

If you don't feel like reading the fic, dear GOD just treat yourself and check out the AMAZING art by my_twistedshell which is GORGEOUS. I am IN LOVE with it and her. *_____* I also have three gorgeous mixes, that seriously nearly made me CRY, they're so good. Free music, anyone?

Also, I'm just going to leave this here:



Because, you know, if Frank were to run into his clone he would "embrace the double. And use it to DO THINGS." And he would be happy to have another person LIKE HIM around. And the rest of the band think this is all FABULOUS and would do the same. And Mikey thinks they should come up with a secret code RIGHT NOW because obviously this is going to happen and they need to have a PLAN.

HI THERE I ACCIDENTALLY WROTE CANON.

The other cool part of getting my evenings back is that I can now catch up on all the awesome fic I haven't been able to read because I've been writing crazy timetravel fic. ( It's a NOT-REC list! Because I haven't actually read the fics yet! )

IN CONCLUSION: ( HERE IS BRENDON URIE HOLDING A KITTEN )
