turpsDay 11
In your own space, post a rec for fannish and/or creative resources. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Honestly, I'm lost on this one. Google is my go-to when I want to know something. If I want more personal answers I'll put out a call on twitter or ask someone who I think will be able to help or else point me in the right direction.
Other than that I don't do anything special. I just write on gdocs and ask for help if needed, that's it.
Day 12
In your own space, talk about what you bring to fandom. It can be something tangible, or not. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Not as much as I used to, that's for sure. But, I write, co-mod![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
mikeyway_daily and I also comment a lot. In fact, I noticed lately I'm coming up to the 100,000 comment mark over at LJ. Not all fannish, obviously, but yeah, I like to comment. Especially so on fic. If I read something and like it I'll tell the writer so. I don't care if they reply or not, I just want them to know what I think.
Day 13
In your own space, talk about a creator. Show us why you think they are amazing. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
I could pick so many people here, but the person I'm going to pick isinlovewithnight. There's not a story of hers that I've read that I haven't enjoyed. Her writing is beautifully clear and everything so in character. It helps that she enjoys a lot of things that I do, so often it feels like the stories in my head have been written, but by someone with incredible talent.
Her Ways bros are fantastic, her Pete amazing, but more than that, her side-characters well fleshed out -- for example, Gabe's dad is now a favourite, and her world-building just right.
If you haven't read her work before, I'd highly recommend you do so.
In your own space, post recs for at least three fanworks that you did not create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
I'm going to rec two recent stories and two that are older.
The Eighth Rest byteigh_corvus. T is another great writer and has an imagination that constantly amazes me. I really liked this story, mainly because it's MCR with Bob and Brian, and while I love the later versions of MCR, this is the one I always come back to as loving the most. That has great group interaction, mystical creatures and an intriguing AU. Which is T's work all over.
Leave the Lights On When You Stay byinlovewithnight. It's Mikey, Pete and Gabe, and Night continuously writes them all beautifully. A bit of h/c, some sexwork, a threesome. There's not a chance in hell I wouldn't have liked this.
Charmed Heart byakamine_chan. This is another magical AU and one I like a lot. It has great Ways bros, a Mikey/Frank relationship I really like -- many more people need to write Mikey/Frank, I'm just saying. Don and Donna written really well, and in general, is just a great story.
Are You Ready For More byromanticalgirl. It's Mikey/William which may scare some people off, but it shouldn't. This is damn hot and has the huge bonus of a fantastic Mikey and Pete friendship, something that always makes me happy. Seriously, every story going should have Mikey and Pete being friends. So yes, if you think that's something you'd enjoy go read.

I have T's story bookmarked. Your rec makes me really look forward to reading it.

Date: 2015-01-14 08:39 pm (UTC)Yeah, the reasons why I like Night so much are the reasons you won't, apart from the Way bro things. It is a shame as every story she writes is fantastic.
I do think you'll enjoy T's story though. It's full of stuff that you love.

Date: 2015-01-17 02:40 pm (UTC)You know your story made me want more Bob era MCR fic. Which I know is a big thing so to narrow it down, maybe something Bob and Mikey focussed, it could be gen or slash. I like both. Just them interacting in some way would be great. Maybe with the prompt, winter weather.
Thank you for the offer!

Date: 2015-01-18 02:36 am (UTC)Definitely doable. Do you care if this ends up being part of a 'Verse? I fell down a bit of a rabbit hole when sorting through fic snippets, so have Traveling Show and a couple other variants in my forebrain at the moment. [I'm mostly asking because I was wondering about the applicability of Wolf!Bob.]

Date: 2015-01-18 02:08 pm (UTC)I'd be thrilled to revisit one of your verses.

Date: 2015-01-18 02:49 pm (UTC)(I had a feeling that would be okay, but it seemed polite to ask and not assume.)
I also am harboring hope that more of the words - Traveling Show especially - will be breaking loose. But time has proven its best to make no promises.
