Jan. 18th, 2008 01:13 pmKerrang broadcast a total MCR session last night, so now I have Ghost of You on my tv, ready to break my heart each time I watch. Which I have to admit has been often this morning. In fact I'm sitting listening now while adding some more to the story I'm writing, which is Mikey and Gerard centric, again.
You know, I was so wary of writing in another fandom, yet now I am I'm enjoying it. It's fun, and scary, and utterly terrifying at times, because the fandom is huge. I'm putting myself out there, to complete strangers who know nothing about me. Against awesome stories, many awesome stories and hoping that someone will take the time to read what I post. While also hoping I'm not one of those writers, the kind people laugh at and talk about how they were excited about a certain pairing being posted then they read the story and blerg. I worry about these things, I can't help it. Yet it's exhilarating at the same time. Looking up as these facts that I need, watching footage for charecterisation issues ( that's my excuse anyway *g* ) writing and posting and people actually reading. Hope and Shatterproof Glass is one of the highest commented things I've ever posted. Which is just, whoa for me.
Of course I've never actually posted anything to a fic community or anything yet, I'm pretty much easing things into the open and seeing what happens. But still, it's fun :)
Things that aren't fun. Last night James and Corey were out for a drive, stopped at a T-Junction and a car drove past and clipped the bumper, scratching it and breaking the fog light. Last night wasn't a good night at all. James was stressed as hell, phoning around and looking things up because this is another £75 we'll have to pay on our insurance. So not only does our car get broken, the hire car does too. He was trying to sort things out this morning, but I'm not sure what's happening as of yet. I'm hoping we don't have to pay for this one too, because £150 is money we just don't have.
But, better things. You've all gone and read
vaudevilles's story Domino Motion right? Because it's fantastic! I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek, and just *fans self* If you like gsf, and rimming, and hotness and Chris being the centre of sexual attention of all his bandmates, ( and if you don't, you should! ) then get yourself over there now. Give her the love she deserves for such a smoking hot story.
Now I'm off to read my story from Josh. My Mutant X season 4 story! I've been waiting until I have time to savour it, and that time is now.
