Dear Amp Elf letter

[turps]

Hello awesome person who was assigned my name.

First things first. Thank you. Seriously. Holiday exchanges are fantastic things, and the idea that somewhere in the world someone will be writing something tailored for me is something that makes me smile.

Second. You may know me, or know my name and be thinking, oh my god, she's going to want to write me something where MCR's tour bus crashes and the band have to struggle through a forest while terribly injured only to be captured and thrown into a slave ring where they're beaten and abused and poor Mikey gets the crap beaten out of him on an hourly basis while his bro grasps the bars of his cage screaming to take Mikey's place. Then later, grievously injured, Mikey manages to plot an escape and saves his bandmates, along with Pete and Ryan who've been captured too -- of course -- getting them to safety before dropping with a deadly infection that leads to him fighting for his life.

And the thing is, I have no shame what-so-ever in admitting I'd read the hell out of that. However, I do actually like and enjoy a load more stuff. So if h/c isn't your thing, don't worry.



I like fluff, I like curtainfic, I like kink, gen, het, stories where sex is the focus and stories where nothing sexual happens at all. I love threesomes and moresomes. I like canon compliant stories and AUs of any kind, from coffee shops to space adventures. I like realistic stories where happy endings can't always happen but also love ones filled with sparkle, candyfloss and sweetness. Magic realism is great, meshing universes fantastic, so if you want a bandom/TV show cross, go for it. I love hand holding and hugs. About people being pushed to their limits and still managing to go on. I love found homes and people who have people's backs, often in unexpected ways.

I do like reading Bob in fic, but if you're not comfortable writing him for any reason and want to set the story after he left the band, or an AU without him, that's okay.

I'm very much a OTC kind of person, so while I do have favourite pairings, I will be happy reading about Mikey being paired with anyone.

What don't I love?

Please, if you're going to have a villain make it be an OC.
If you're writing a slash pairing that means band guys splitting from their wives, please, don't make the ladies be prize bitches who drove the guy away. Handwave the relationships if you want so the marriage never existed, or that they were best friends or something instead. But no making them mean, and that includes Sarah, too.
Finally, while I have no issues with stories where the Way bros fight or are on the outs, please don't end it that way. I'm kind of over invested in those two and their relationship.

So, there you go. A lot of babble that can be summed up with. I love Mikey, a lot. If you write him front and centre I'll be happy.

If you still have questions about my bandom likes I've been friends with sperrywink and turlough forever, and I'm sure they'll be able to help. As will annemari, someone who I've discussed Mikey and fic with extensively.

I think that's it. Just, have fun, okay? Because I already know, whatever you write will be fantastic.

Do you realize forever only goes back to about 2005!!! (Which is totally a long time ago, but feels like yesterday. Getting older- so weird!!)

But yes, Iwould be happy to tell them about your bus crash slave epic thoughts. *g*

I don't know whether to write a Dear Amp letter. I was pretty explicit in my sign-up. *ponders*

[turps]

It does feel like we've been friends much longer than that. I always say it, but thank goodness to that friending meme.

YAY! If my epic bus crash slave fic involves Spencer with shiny hair I'll know you've been consulted *g*

I see you have written one. Go you!

[sperrywink]

You do remember that it was *your* friending meme that we met on, so you are thanking yoruself? *g*

YES!! Despite all the trials and trevails, Spencer's hair remaiins shiny. ♥

Yeah, I realized I hadn't done any actual prompts, just tropes, so i figured I would write one out.

[turps]

Ah yes, back when I was mega active in fandom. I should pat myself on the back *g*

[turlough]

And if you get a story with an uncommon amount of Gerard in it you'll know they consulted me ;-D

[turps]

I don't mind a lot of Gerard, as long as that happens alongside him with Mikey *g*

[akamine_chan]

lololol

[turps]

I figured the letter summed me up nicely *g*

Super adorbs letter, bb. (Psst, don't forget to post a link to the Dear Am Elf Letter post at bandom_holidays). ;)

[turps]

Thank you, and done :)

[madam_beetroot]

Crashing in to say we'll all be waiting for your new epic bus crash fic of doom now!

[turps]

Ahahahaha. One day it'll be arriving on AO3!

[doctor_jasley]

That bus crash au would be interesting

I'm pondering writing a letter but idk *shrugs* I'm usually very specific. But not exactly indepth with why certain things work and others don't.

[turps]

It would be an excellent story.

I don't think you actually need a letter. Though I enjoyed writing mine, probably because I used to do one for the popslash exchange and got used to it.
