This photo of Gerard is gorgeous, and the jacket amazing. Of course now I'm hoping there are more of him and Mikey that we haven't seen yet. Surely there has to be some? *crosses fingers*

Still plodding on with my BBB. It's just under 16k at the moment so I'll hit the minimum word count before deadline no problem. What is a problem is it's probably only about half finished plot wise. I can see a few sketched out scenes in my future when I eventually submit this thing.

I've also been cutting down tabs, by the cunning use of self bribes such as, finish this scene and you can read a fic. I'd like to think by the time BBB posting comes around my to-read backlog will be gone, then I think how long that list is and laugh for a very long time.

The blackbirds remain in our garden. In fact, our garden has become quite the meeting place for birds, probably because we splash out on wild bird seed for them, none of that wet bread malarkey on our bird table. This has led to occasions where I get the beady-eyed blackbird glare while hanging out washing, and really, it was my garden first.

Some stories I've read recently and enjoyed.

Mikey Way is not an Artist ( But He Does Have Some Happy Accidents ) by monkey_pie Frank/Mikey, cute, adorable and so funny.

Secondhand Smoke by Cardstock. Ray/Mikey. I really enjoyed reading this, just read the warnings first.

Boyshapedlovedrug by Green Frank/Mikey. I enjoyed pining Mikey, but what I loved the most was the relationship between Mikey and Gerard.

Free Fall For Me by akamine_chan Mikey/Gerard/Frank. Aka asked for prompts on twitter and this is the result. It's just lovely.

Private Property by romanticalgirl Mikey/Gerard and a cock cage. Just delicious.

Well, What Happened Was... (Bodyguards AU) not!fic by argentumlupine Ray/Gerard, Mikey/Alicia, Frank/Jamia. Bodyguard fic \o/ That is all.

Want to Forget by akamine_chan Mikey and Pete. Short but powerful.

Tear Apart All Of My Insides by akamine_chanKobra Kid/Gerard, which was written for me \o/ Read the warnings for this one, it has everything I love in it, but it won't be for everyone.

inlovewithnight has been writing a blackout of the kink_bingo mini square. All the fills are here and while I haven't read them all, I have the majority and they're fantastic. I especially love the fills for collars and gender play *____*

Your stories will always be pushed to the top of my to-read list.

That Gerard picture is beautiful. Ugh, bad-ass pretty elf. ; ;

[turps]

It really is.

It's my favourite of the ones we've seen so far.

[sylvaine]

That picture of Gerard is so amazing. He looks like a dragonlord or elfin dragonrider or something.

Good luck with your BBB, and with catching up on your backlog!

[turps]

It really is, and yeah. I agree. That's exactly what he looks like.

Thank you! I think I need to practice until I can read and write twice as fast.

[sperrywink]

No surprise, but I was unmoved by the picture of Gerard. *g*

You are becoming a rec'ing fool! Go you!

Also go you for getting words down!

[turps]

I think it's great. Of course what I'm hoping for is more of Mikey.

I am! Not a very good one as I never say why I like stories, but hey, I'm trying my best.

I've just broken 16k \o/

[sperrywink]

You rock like a megastar!! 16K is amazing.

I just broke 3,000 words. I'm feeling pretty damn pleased with myself too.

[turps]

I think this calls for a hi-five of smug satisfaction!

High five!!

[turlough]

Congratulations!!

[sperrywink]

Thank you!

[turlough]

It's such a gorgeous photo of him. I agree with sylvaine that he looks like some sort of elf/dragon prince-combo. And yes, I'm also keeping my fingers crossed there are more pics of him and Mikey together.

Go you and your writing self! It seems like using bribes is the way for you to go ;-) *sends you lots of writerly vibes*

And you're reccing too, go you! Free Fall For Me and Tear Apart All of My Insides were so good. Have you read "my" story yet? It's lovely and got me all sniffly from emotion.

[turps]

Ahhh, pictures of him and Mikey together would make my year. I really hope they exist.

Bribes are totally the way to go. Bribes or panic anyway *g*

I haven't read yours yet. But it's tabbed to be read soon.

[argentumlupine]

I COVET Gerard's jacket. It would look ridiculous on me, but I don't care. WANT.

Good luck with the BBB!

And thank you for the rec! ♥

[turps]

Gerard's jacket is amazing! I'm sure it would look ridiculous on many people but I can easily understand the draw.

Thank you!

[glitteryv]

Woo-hoo on the wordage! I'm at 10k which makes me feel OK about reaching the minimum word count by the 11th (I'm thinking of taking that Friday off from work in case I end up writing all night on Thursday. \o?) Though, like you, it does feel like I might end up filling in a lot of the plot after I send in my rough draft. /o\

Like I told turlough, I'm aching to write something based on that pic, but I don't know *what* exactly. That said, I'm crossing my fingers that we get more Mikeyway ones. :D?

I've also been cutting down tabs, by the cunning use of self bribes such as, finish this scene and you can read a fic. I'd like to think by the time BBB posting comes around my to-read backlog will be gone, then I think how long that list is and laugh for a very long time.

That's a great thing to do. I'm kinda doing the same thing. All in all, I've already resigned myself to having a lot of tabs opened at all times. Right now (not counting BBB related stuff *is mysterious*), I've got about 60 or so.

Thankfully (and, as you're well aware after getting notifications of my replies to your posts), I don't get embarrassed about commenting on older posts.

My "strategy" nowadays is to tackle one of my Circle peeps at a time rather than trying to catch up with everyone at once.

On the one hand, it makes it easier for me to comment since I'm following the actual order of posts. Plus, very few people I'm subscribed to/are actual friends with post every day.

On the other hand, my DW reading page is ALWAYS active (vs. my LJ one that is moving on a snail's pace, imho).

I love having these convos and keeping in touch though. Therefore, I chose to stop getting freaked out about the zillion tabs and just hitting reply. :)

[turps]

And now we've both submitted because we're awesome! At least, I'm assuming you did. I didn't see that you didn't.

I want more Mikey ones badly. Surely they have to be there, maybe Mikey in another awesome jacket like Gerard's.

Gah, tabs. I just counted and I'm at around the 60 mark too. I really need to cut some of those down.

That's cool that you keep in touch that way. In fact, I was talking to Sperrywink about you and she was saying you tend to reply to her posts on a Sunday, and I love that. I'm glad you don't mind replying to older posts as it's always great to talk to you.

[nadya]

Yeah, the picture of Gerard is really amazing. And I do hope that there are more pictures from that photoshoot. =D

[turps]

I want more pictures from that shoot so badly. I really hope they exist.
