Over the last few days I've been enjoying comment conversations about h/c tropes and how much I love to read them and also want to see more stories with them. Seriously, I was shameless, someone I didn't know at the time mentioned thinking of organising a h/c challenge and I was right in there going, do it!

And she has. teaforbryony has a poll up asking about interest in a h/c challenge. If you're interested go here and let her know. Think about it, kidnappings and dire situations and fighting to survive against cruel odds, wouldn't you like to read/write that? It's the challenge of my dreams. So go, vote, tell her how awesome she is.

At the moment I'm writing the final story in the Tints of Rainbow Hue universe. I was thinking about it last night, specifically about POV. The first story alternated between Ray and Gerard's pov, the coda between Mikey and Frank. This last story has started in Bob's pov but I'm not sure where to go with the second. It's very much the story of what happens to Gerard and Bob, which suggests it should be Gerard, but I have plans for Mikey/Frank that would be made a little distant if I don't use one of them -- Frank fixes up a garden for Mikey, there are fairy lights in trees and music, Mikey pretending he doesn't care as Frank gives him the prom Mikey never got or wanted, but that doesn't matter because they both love it anyway. Why yes, I am indulging my sappy side. Can you tell?

I suppose I could go for three povs but my personal preference is one, so that's pushing it a little. Oh well, it'll sort itself out I'm sure. If not I'll just talk people's ears off in email.

On twitter Mikey said this MCR announcement tomorrow AM when I get into the office, around 10. Check the site.< So, what do you think it is? New music? Touring? Video? Mikey announcing the band have adopted a new look and are going for pastels now? I want to know!

ETA: I just joined this.

Happy Birthday, castalie!

Today is the birthday of someone very special. One of my oldest friends -- not an online friend, a friend.

Sis, I've known you forever now. I hope you know how awesome I think you are.

To celebrate a little, some of the guys we've talked about over the years, and this is only a drop in the ocean when you think of all the conversations we've had.

I hope you have the best day ever!
