I've just answered all my outstanding comments -- sorry to anyone that got really late replies, looked at the notification and had no idea what I was talking about. For my next trick I'm going to start on actual emails.

But not before I express my disbelief at what some people think it's okay to ask on twitter. This morning I was reading Mikey's latest Q&A and can't understand why anyone would think it's okay to ask him about pairing names and a manip that he's no doubt been linked to countless times. Those things are for the fans, not the celeb. Asking isn't cute, it doesn't make him your friend, or someone who wants to talk about fic.

I thought he responded okay, but of course it was the pairing name I hate most he was asked about, so I've seen it capped multiple times on tumblr today.

Okay, other things. I'm going to do that A03 hits meme, give this post a bit more content than me grumbling. I haven't looked yet but will bet on WDINA and Ponies being in the top two.

And the Painted Ponies
When Day Is Night Alone
Nowhereville
Like A Bunk and Cramped Sleeping
It Might Be Instamatic Flu
It Came From Within
Standing on the Edge Believing
Mr Bob
Blurring the Truth and the Lies
Grey Crimson Skies

Ha, I knew it. Though am surprised at Nowhereville, that's jumped up the list for some reason, and yet again Mr Bob is hanging in there. Pre school teacher Bob and the Mikey who loves him, both clinging to the bottom end of these memes for years now.

Is Pikey an actual pairing name???? That's kind of.... awful, even for smushed pairing names.

Nowhereville is awesomesauce!! I'm glad it is there.

[turps]

Yes it is! I know it's not the case everywhere, but I hate it's also a racial slur in the UK. Every time I see the pairing name I cringe.

I'm really surprised Nowhereville is so high. But I'm glad that it is.

[sperrywink]

Oh, I didn't know that. I'm sorry I reproduced it here. :-(

That does make it extra awful.

Me too. {{hugs}}

No need to be sorry ♥

Really, they should have gone with Mete *g*

[inlovewithnight]

He did very well for such cringy questions. Sigh. PEOPLE.

[turps]

Why do they ask such things? I'll never understand.

[turlough]

I will never understand why people do that! It seems so pointless!

It makes me very happy to see that Grey Crimson Skies still clings to a place among the top 10. I'm a little suprised at Mr Bob though. I've no memories of it being that popular when it was new.

[turps]

I don't understand it at all.

I really don't understand how Mr Bob constantly stays in the top 10. No one ever seems to mention it and no, it wasn't hugely popular when I posted. Maybe Bob/Mikey is the pairing that can be enjoyed but not admitted *g*

oh god people NO those questions are not appropriate.

I'm kind of half shaking my head at the new girlfriend, half amused that our "mikey gets about" characterisation is being borne out....

I hate some of the questions people ask. It's embarrassing, yet they don't seem to see it.

Yeah. No one can say he doesn't know who to get around. And is a total romantic based on his girlfriend's tweets.
