Famous Last Words

I signed on for the bandom_meme fanworks exchange. I totally missed the prompts claiming, but luckily enough I maanged to find something I felt I could work with, even if it was a bit of a stretch. So here's around 3k of extremely handwavey historical fic with artist!Gerard and muse!Frank.

Title: Brushstrokes

Band/Pairing: MCR, Frank/Gerard
Word Count: 3.3k

Title: On Air
Pairing(s): Frank/Mikey, (Ray/Christa)
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: None
Word count: 15 500 words
Summary: Frank's a radio DJ at an alternative station, spinning punk tracks and talking shit. When he gets handed the most popular show at the station to host, his first guests are independent horror filmmakers Gerard and Mikey Way. Written for lucifuge_5 in the bandomstuffsit exchange. (Original post)
A/N: Huge thanks to my amazing betas who I can now unmask! akamine_chan for betaing the crap out of it and inside info on what Luce likes, pennyplainknits and fabu for early brainstorming help and halfeatenmoon for forcing me over the finish line kicking and screaming!

Darling Aka, I hear you are having a shitty day. Here is that ficlet I still owe you. <3

Fandom: Bandom - MCR
Title: Take What You Want
Pairing: Frank/Gerard (Frank/Jamia)
Length: 1300 words
Rating/Warnings: M, angst
Summary: Set after Not As Advertised
A/N: This was a quick-write and it's not been beta'ed. All mistakes are mine.

( You want him, don't you? )

Because it's annemaris and Mikeyway's birthdays (in some parts of the world still), here is a little snippet I woke up with in my brain.

Not beta'ed, PG, about 500 words.

( It's so hot Mikey's pretty sure he can hear the grass wilting. )

Fandom: Bandom
Bands: MCR, The Used (Panic, FOB)
Pairing(s): Frank/Mikey (Ray/Spencer)
Word Count: 50 500 words
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Canon fuckery - this is an AU which borrows heavily from canon, but it's still an AU.
Summary:
"You and me, right Mikes?"

"Yeah, fuck everybody else."

Best friends since high school, if Frank could've chosen a brother, he'd pick Mikey. Then Mikey became a rock star and Frank... didn't. After years of radio silence, Mikey steps onto a stage in Jersey and back into Frank's life.

(Or, the one where Frank is a school teacher and Mikey plays rhythm in The Used.)

A/N: This story owes a lot to a lot of people. To anoneknewmoose for stellar beta and making sure I knew it was worth posting. To mizubyte for straightening out my canon fuckups (she drew me a diagram of the Starland Ballroom, you guys!) and being generally brilliant. To jenepel and silly_cleo the most awesome Nano gurus without whom this story wouldn't even have been finished, and to turps33, kopperblaze, cee_m and my entire twitter feed for continually reassuring me that there were people out there who actually wanted to read this ridiculous story. Lastly, to the awesome bandombigbang mods for running the challenge beautifully and being super helpful and amazing.

I know I'm being posty-mc-post-a-lot lately (and I swear it has NOTHING to do with procrastinating on my BRBB fic *coughcoughcough*) but I have another thing to share!

The Awesome Ladies Podfic Anthology II

I recorded a short piece for this amazing anthology, which this year included 104 woman-centered stories by 86 different authors and 47 different podficcers in 64 fandoms - guys that is 7.5 HOURS of podfic. Wow.

Here is the piece I did, but I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU to check out the rest of the anthology via the link above, you can download in various ways and there are so many excellent stories and readers - and a lot of great new (or new-to-me) readers too!

Fandom: Bandom

( Some blather about the Anthology and why I participated and why I'm a little nervous )

Anyway, even if you aren't into podfic, I encourage you to read the fic, it's excellent, hot and gorgeous and the kind of girl-on-girl fun with heart and SOUL that I've been hanging for in bandom for a long time.

Title: Feeling A Moment
Author: ladyfoxxx
Reader: podklb
Fandom: Bandom, MCR
Pairing: Frank/Gerard
Length: 1500 words / 10:50mins
Rating: PG
Fic and Podfic are also available on AO3

Summary: Frank's mouth pulls to the side. He's chewing on his lip where his piercing used to be. "So what you're saying is, you're a method actor."

This fic/podfic was made in the spirit of pod_together. It was written by ladyfoxxx and performed by podklb, with input from the other at each stage.

We will be tracking each others' comments, so please feel free to leave feedback for both parts of the project in either of our LJ's or on AO3.

ladyfoxxx's notes: I was more than a little bummed when bandombigbang deadlines meant I wasn't able to participate in the completely awesome pod_together challenge, so when an opportunity arose to do a co-op with podklb I leapt at it. It was such a fun experience, from the very first recording she was bringing the words off the page and infusing them with life. The opportunity to have so much input into the process was pretty eye opening and I'm humbled at how much time and effort went into this recording. Every word sounds better and I'm totally stoked with the result.

podklb's notes: This was a lot of fun to work on, and getting director's notes straight from the author, both early on before I recorded and then again before I did my final edit, was really interesting. I went into this thinking that it was a simple story, and while it still does have a lovely simplicity to it, I found so much more in it by the time we were done. And it was like finding treasure. So fun :)
