Famous Last Words

Okay, I seem to have LJ back, but I won't be counting my chickens. I haven't been able to use it hardly at all this entire week, but if it will let me, I have things to share!

Like, it was my birthday on Monday! I am YOUNG FOR TREES. And because I am the LUCKIEST PERSON, I got PRESENTS!

mizubyte made me a new journal layout! And it's SO GORGEOUS. Go on, click my username, have a look. I CAN'T STOP STARING AT IT. I have never had a custom layout before because I suck, and now I have an AWESOME one and I didn't even have to make it myself - SCORE. MY GIRLFRIEND IS THE SMARTEST.

Miz also wrote me FIC. Not just any fic but THE SEQUEL TO Failboat Frontmen which was the one I FORCED her to write ages ago because that's how I roll. It's a near-canon AU not-ficcy thing where Frank never joined MCR and instead fronted Leathermouth and they got huge and tour with MCR and he and Gerard are FRONTMEN IN LOVE and crash each other's shows and make eyes at each other on Steve's Untitled Rock Show and stuff. Anyway, it's AWESOME she's written Frontmen In Love which follows their continued adventures and it's smiling inducing and has lots of hot porn, so it's basically my perfect fic.

Oh and she totally made me this ridiculously fabulous hand-clappy icon too. More ridiculous Yo Gabba Gabba icons here!

bebunny played to my weaknesses and wrote COMPLETELY AWESOME Sky Pirate Ray! It's a wee companion fic to her completely awesome Clockwork Angels, giving Ray some time in the sun, and getting him laid, which I am ALWAYS in favour of. The girl writes the BEST fucking world-building you guys, you have no idea. I am in awe.

And if that wasn't ENOUGH, the totally awesome draconic_girl made a podfic of Skeleton Records. It's completely smile inducing, so go grab that if you want to listen to her read you the story of Gerard's ridiculous not-date with the hot guy from the record store.

In short - I am SPOILED.

I also got to go to the zoo, and hang out with my friends and do other awesome stuff.

Oh and yeah, there was also ( THAT WHOLE THING WITH THE SNOWFLAKES )

Yeah, so hopefully LJ will behave, so I can answer some comments because I'm SO fucking behind. Also, I have porn to post. If I can find time to prep it.

LJ, OH GOD, NEVER LEAVE ME AGAIN. *clings*

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, bebunny, 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.

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.

Okay gorgeous flisties, so it's now Australia Day in my home country. Which means you have approximately 19 hours left to bid on me at the qldfloodauction. What is this in aid of? My post where I explain why I'm participating. Obviously the worst of the actual flooding is over but there is a LOT of cleanup and a LOT of rebuilding to be done. Which means $$$ is the best way forward for a lot of my fellow Queenslanders - thus the fundraising!

What the winning bid will get - a minimum of 2k of fic (and hey, I'm wordy these days, it will likely be more) written by me! For you! Pairing of your choice - preferably one I've written before but hey, I am open to challenges. I will even try Waycest!

My bidding thread

Bid hard, bid often.

Also, for your reference (though I doubt it will be necessary, ha. Like I'm that popular), here is the local time in Sydney, Australia - bidding closes at 11:59pm EDT (ie. the time on that clock).

Happy bidding folks!

ETA. Completely off topic, but I was updating my Masterlist and I noticed my first two fics posted of the new year are both het and wife centric. Huh. I totally didn't plan that.

*waves*

So I'm completely behind on pretty much everything! There are at least two werewolfbigbang fics posted I'm desperate to read, the pxp_flashbang fics have started posting and I haven't had time to read any of them, there are new interviews GALORE I haven't had time to watch and tomorrow is the Dr D broadcast thingy - FOR THE LOVE OF GOD FANDOM, SOMEONE RIP THIS. I need to see it and I know I won't be able to tune in live.

But I made it to Australia safe and sound, the wedding was fun and I didn't get too drunk and my little niece is ADORABLE.

Here's a few things you may or may not have already seen/know about that are making my GLEEFACE right now.

1. ( I WROTE FIC )

2. ( THE MCR DANGER DAYS SYDNEY LISTENING PARTY IS A GO )

3. ( DECEMBER CONTINUES TO LOOK TOTALLY AWESOME )

So there is my big three. I am so sorry I haven't been around much and I continue to not be around much. I am skimming my flist and randomly checking Twitter on my phone but I feel like I'm missing more than I'm getting. Please, if you post anything cool or see any awesome Bandom shit drop it in my comments because I feel like I am MISSING EVERYTHING.

Of course, most of all I am missing YOU, flist. So much. *HUGS YOU ALL* Don't give up on me yet. I'll be back soon! With porn. LOTS OF PORN.

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? )

So in seven and a half hours I'll be on a plane to the UK. I will actually be in the sky at midnight, well more than one midnight with the change of timezones. I'm just stupidly positive about this relocation and looking forward to some adventure.

I don't make new years resolutions, but if I did this year's will be to travel, to write and to learn to play a musical instrument. I'll definitely be working toward those goals this year, not because of a resolution  - but because I WANT to.

I know I haven't posted any fresh fic in a while, so here is a little sort-of meme. 5 grabs from 5 unpublished fics/fics-in-progress that will be finished in the new year.

( Five upcoming fics )

Hope there's something there that looks interesting. Please post your own! And happy new year!
