turlough is a star and made me Kobra Kid/Petrol Pete icons from the excellent Ask Poison tumblr. and Kobra getting his threesome on, and then snuggling up to Pete. So much love. To Turlough too for making them ♥

This morning I signed up for both waves of bandombigbang. Not that I have any concrete idea what I'm going to write yet, though when I said that on twitter suggestions were, something with Mikey and a Mikey/Frank/Pete h/c epic. I'd mock grumble about being teased but you know, so true. Not that I'm actually planning a Mikey/Frank/Pete h/c epic --- but I could. In spaaaaaaaaaace

no_tags is happening! I'm so thrilled about that. I love the challenge, it's insane, crazy fun. Now I need to think of what prompts I want to leave, especially with the no character overlap rule. Then again, it could be said that Kobra Kid is technically not Mikey....

No, just kidding mod like people ♥

Lastly, random_bandom is happening too. It's another challenge I enjoyed a lot last year, and something that helps me write away from my usual comfort pairings.

Moving on from challenges. eledhwenlin posted the best bb!Panic picspam for me. BB!Panic are my favourites, and I spent a long time having heart-eyes over all the photos.

I love this photo of Mikey. Look at his eyes, his jawline, everything about him *____*

Also, this one of Frank.

I finished Game of Thrones last night and have moved on to the next book. As I'd seen the show before reading GoT, it feels like I've now wandered into unknown and inevitably heart breaking territory. Not that I know any specific spoilers, just emotions I've picked up from others who've read the series.

And to end on a rl note. We had to buy a new kettle and toaster yesterday as both stopped working on Sunday. No kettle D: No toaster D: Breakfast was a bleak affair yesterday morning.

Hee hee hee. ♥

[turps]

I'm so happy you took the challenge on. I know it's in safe hands ♥

[teigh_corvus]

You can't put a request in for *two* Mikey stories? What ever shall you do?!

[turps]

These trials are sent to test me.

But I'll set my shoulders and ask for a non-Mikey pairing. Or MCR gen *g*

[teigh_corvus]

Are you feeling the Ryan/Spencer? Or somebody with Pete? Though Gen MCR is also a good choice...

[turps]

I'm very tempted by MCR gen especially as I always enjoy a good gen story. But at the same time, I'm also tempted by some Pete/Ryan or yeah, Ryan/Spencer. That's not written enough these days.

How about you, are you hitting the challenge circuit this year?

[teigh_corvus]

I'm a fan of the MCR gen too, as you know. But either of your other options could be excellent. Pete/Ryan could be so angsty.

Well, I've got that BRBB thing goin' on, and I signed up for Wave 3 of BBB, but that's it. There's a RL project I've been asked to contribute to and I do have a lot of art to work on, so... Also, I have terrible luck with short fic for challenges.

Maybe I can get my act together to submit art, should they do BRBB again. *crosses fingers*

[turps]

Pete/Ryan could go in so many ways. Early days when Ryan was star struck and in Pete's pocket or now when they're both off doing their own thing & screwed in the head in many ways. But gen. I'm the most indecisive.

Yep, I know that one and a big old \o/ for wave 3 and your art work.

Which reminds me. Did you ever finish your KK project?

[teigh_corvus]

Well, they are all choices with promise.

:D

KK is still still on my desk, in the Land of Spare Oom. He's honestly not that far from being done, sculpey-wise. He also has three, vaguely related individuals who are sharing desk space with him. >.>

[turps]

They are. Maybe I should just have a prompt that goes, Pete/Ryan, bring on the angst!

!!!! You are amazing. Not that I'm surprised that he found some friends.

[turlough]

You're very welcome, I'm happy you like them! (I got your mail yesterday but have completely forgotten to answer it. There is too much going on right now!)

BBB!!! no_tags!!! I'm so excited over both these challenges. I don't know how it is that no_tags always seems to produce so many very good stories but I'm really happy it will happen this year too.

You should get outside your comfort zone and write Gabe/Gerard ;-D

Both the kettle and the toaster?! What a disaster! I hope your new ones will last many years.

[turps]

It's okay, I was only moaning about minor things. And I love them. I still need to upload the others over here and then get my extra icons again and can upload the new ones over at LJ too :D

I went looking for the mod post from last year to re-read about overlapping characters and was reminded of how many amazing stories it produced last year. It's very impressive for such a short challenge.

Write Gabe/Gerard for BBB? I don't think I could manage that for a long story. Maybe if that prompt comes up at no tags.

Yeah, both. The kettle has had a dodgy switch for a while so it was no surprise when that went, but for the toaster to pop at the same time. Well I wasn't impressed.

[turlough]

I'll keep my fingers crossed there will be Gabe/Gerard prompts in no_tags then :-)

[ephemera]

the kettle and the toaster had a suicide pact?! That's not a good Sunday morning. Heap big not good.

[turps]

I think they did. It would explain why the toaster went pop just after the kettle give up the ghost :(

[frausorge]

You are very brave to sign up for all those challenges! That is awesome.

I am v. sorry to hear of your sad losses in the kitchen department, though. May the new ones live long and prosper.

[turps]

Brave. Insane. One of those two.

They'd better live a long time. Stupid appliances deciding to die together.

[glitteryv]

I kinda got all WOOO-HOOO with the bbb thing and ended up signing up for both waves...and a mix for wave 3. So far, I've decided to do the Frank/Mikeyway fic I told you about (last summer) for Wave 3. My Wave 1 fic is one I'm very *______* about. It's working title is ALL THE TEARS. DDD:

no_tags was ridiculously fun. I was deffo anxious about my entry, but (at the same time) I loved it. Due to my apparent inability to pair everyone/everyon without feeling weird/squicked about it, I didn't do random_bandom. The irony is that, had I participated, I'd have had the choice to pair Mikeyway with Frank, Ray, Patrick, Bob or himself (according to the list reveal.) *facepalms*

That Mikeyway pic is awesome, but the Frank one!!! UNF, UNF, UNF!!! Verrrry inspirational. Hee!

Re your dead appliances: I'm thinking they were soulbonded to each other, so when one went to the big kitchen in the sky, the other one had to join its friend. I hope your new kettle and toaster have a longer shelf life. :)

[turps]

I'm very happy that you've signed up for all the waves. You're a rockstar. Also, \o/ about the one I know, and I'm very intrigued by the wave one.

No_tags was awesome. It's up there as one of my favourite challenges. I'm a bad person as I still haven't done random_bandom. BRBB was so difficult to write that I couldn't wrangle another story at the same time. I feel bad about it but will write and post eventually. Better late than never I guess.

Oh heck yeah Frank looks good!

Ahahahah, soulbonded kitchen appliances. So much love for that idea.
