The Ray Toro Fic Rec List Of Doom
Oct. 6th, 2012 12:57 pmThis list is a WIP. It is by NO MEANS complete. In fact, it is painfully incomplete. I am TERRIBLE at keeping track of things I've read (and even worse at ones I haven't) so I've no doubt missed a lot of great fic, therefore I need your help! Please link me to fics in the comments I have missed so I can add them! Ray-centric fics only. This should be a reclist of fic where Ray is the main event. Because he's worth it.
Massive thanks to
anoneknewmoose for html help and links and to
akamine_chan for being an LJ guru.

V-Day and no_tags and cuteness, oh my!
Feb. 14th, 2012 06:27 pmHey 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!

Is this thing on?
Dec. 7th, 2011 05:16 pmOkay, 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*

Bandom voice meme!
Nov. 23rd, 2011 02:03 pmETA - Okay so apparently I am unlocking this?
So it appears that the thing that is going to make me make an LJ post after being a slack-ass slacker* who doesn't update much lately is this bandom voice post meme that is all over my flist right now.
If you haven't done it yet YOU SHOULD DO IT! \o/?
The Questions:
1. What's your username and is there a story behind it?
2. Where are you from and where do you live now?
3. What are you wearing? Yes, I am hitting on you.
4. How long have you been in bandom? How did you get into it?
5. Which bands are your favorites?
6. Which band members are your favorites?
7. Have you seen any of them in concert? Any fun stories or memories to share?
8. Do you have an OTP? What is it, and why do you love it?
9. What story do you wish someone would write?
10. Are you working on something for bandom right now? Tell us a little bit about it.
11. You've got fic open somewhere on your computer right now, don't lie. So go to one of your open tabs or word documents or whatever, and read us a couple of lines.
12. Say these words: Iero, haberdashery, LOLcat, flist, dirigible, halcyon, nemesis, ephemeral, languorous
Apologies in advance for my snottyness, I have a mild cold. Go ahead, make fun of my (rather muddled) accent. Also, my apologies to
brooklinegirl for getting my snot all over the first paragraph or so of her most awesome story.

Every day is Frank Iero's birthday.
Sep. 27th, 2011 03:05 pmHey so did everyone see our boys did last night's show in costume?
The Toropire:

( EVERY DAY IS HALLOWEEN WHEN YOU'RE FRANK IERO )
In ADDITION to this (as if this wasn't ALREADY enough), I woke up this morning to THIS TWEET from Ray:

( RAY IS SUCH A FILM NERD OMG, AND APPARENTLY SO AM I SINCE I HAVE ALL THESE OPINIONS ABOUT CHRISTOPHER LAMBERT'S CAREER )
In other news, I am still banging away at fills for The Timestamp Meme. If you requested something, and I haven't posted a fill yet, I am ON IT, it's just taking mea million years a little longer than I expected because I keep writing actual STORIES, instead of the notfic I planned.
( Fills so far! )
I am also working on my
moldypitsandall fic, and laughing my way through
mizubyte's beta notes. I squicked her. Twice.
Hi F-list! Work is nuts! Delicious has broken all the tags with a "/" in them, which is maybe kind of a problem in a fandom that's mostly 'slash', but that's okay because MCR are ridiculous costume-wearing cupcakes.
HOW ARE YOU?

Aug. 4th, 2011 04:36 pm( Pete's FACE! And a wee Black Cards mini-spam )
( And now for some RAY TORO! )
( Let's show Frank some love )
( Two loldorable videos you have probably seen years ago but I only just discovered. )
( Bonus videos! Way bros! )
Oh man this post got long. THERE IS LOTS TO SMILE ABOUT OKAY?
Lastly, in my bbb procrastinations I was thinking my fic masterlist needs an overhaul. It's kind of long and maybe - confusing? IDK. Your opinions, dear readers, if I may?
[Poll #1767043]
HI IT'S THURSDAY. IT'S PRACTICALLY THE WEEKEND, RIGHT?

Jul. 12th, 2011 03:24 pmSo
kopperblaze Ray-spammed me yesterday and now I have ALL THESE TABS I CAN'T CLOSE.
( No one smiles like Ray smiles )
And then there was ( Frank showing us his smooth moves )
( Gerard being a cult leader )
( And Spencer Smith wants a hug )
( And the WAAAAYS )
In other news,
greedy_dancer,
mizubyte,
turps33 and I were twit-ficcing yesterday, in the vein of "bandom boys run a gym". Because you know you want to read all about Mikey's Brit-pop yoga class and Frank's Thrash and Pole. Gee's Alterna-Gym
Lastly, I should probably give up on getting something written for
bandombigbang Wave 2 already, but I'm like a dog with a bone and I'm not ready to pack it in just yet, even though I'm not even sure which story I'm writing and the one I've got the best "brain-plan" for is not a popular pairing. Oh well, I'll see how I go.
What tabs have YOU been unable to close lately, f-list?

Hi I'm crap! Here is a short list of why:
1. New job where I share a room cuts back on my internet time
2. I am addicted to Twitter and have been spending a lot of time there, since 140 characters seems to be about the level of commitment I can handle right now.
3. I am madly trying to write my
bandombigbang so that I have some kind of draft in for the 30 April deadline. A week ago I had 6k. I now have just over 20k (\o/?) but I still need an ending. Of course once I have an ending I will need a TITLE and a SUMMARY and OMG HATE HATE those two things. /end whinge
Anyway, HERE IS A PHOTO OF RAY ON THE PIANO.

ASK ME HOW MUCH I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH HIM RIGHT NOW. GO ON ASK ME. Hint: A LOT.
kopperblaze is the best because she keeps slipping me links to photos of Ray being adorable/a hotass.
Also, here is a meme!
piratesunk was looking for a title for a fic earlier and I made a bunch of really stupid suggestions, which made me think this one might be a bit of fun. Yoinked from
romanticalgirl
Give me a title in comments and I tell you* the story that would go with it.
(*Tell you = summarise. Because I need to practice my summaries, naturally!)
HI LJ. I MISSED YOU.

Wembly Arena: Contaminated - Gig Recap!
Feb. 13th, 2011 05:08 amThis was supposed to be a short, brief gig recap, but apparently I HAVE A LOT OF WORDS. AND A LOT OF LOVE. THAT I NEED TO SHARE WITH YOU ABOUT HOW AWESOME THIS GIG WAS. There is possibly an overuse of CAPS at time. I am sleep deprived and SLAP HAPPY, OKAY?
I have also furnished this post with some photos - the crappy ones are mine, from my gig tweets, the good ones I pilfered from
mcr_unofficial.
( ON WITH THE RECAP! )
&THISBAND;
THEY WERE ON MOTHERFUCKING FIRE.
AND HAVING SUCH A GOOD TIME. Allow me to end on my favourite note of the evening: RAY TORO'S FACE:

SUMS UP THE ENTIRE NIGHT ON SO MANY LEVELS.

A couple of random things and a meme
Dec. 12th, 2010 04:14 pmOkay, so I am the WORST at keeping up with my flist lately. I am doing my best, my darlings.
A couple of things -
villiagegreen made an Xmas fanmix! If you are feeling the need for seasonal cheer with a dash of gay, I highly recommend it. Bee makes the best mixes.
Also how on earth did I miss this tweet from Frank?
( Apparently when Frank sees THIS he thinks of Ray )
Lastly, this meme is going around my flist and I can't resist it because 1. I am VERY curious and 2. I really hope everyone else will do it so I can respond to it because it's something I want to share.
If you were asked to pick one scene, one line, one detail, one moment of some kind out of all the stories I've written and say, "This. This, for whatever reason, I remember. This is something that struck home with me, that I wanted to keep," what would it be?
(My fic masterlist is here if you need it.)
