castalie announced we were passing on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
sentinel_thurs. It's something we've been talking about and we decided that as we built it together, we'd only hand it on together, and the time was right.
We opened the community in 2003, so handing it over now is weird, like, no more sitting every second Thursday trying to think of a suitable prompt that hadn't been done before. And may I say, after 275 challenges, there wasn't much we hadn't used in some way. We never ran the community in a strict way, unlike most flashfic groups our members could post any challenge at any time, and in doing so we created a place that always felt relaxed, where many newbies posted their first stories and where some people posted multiple stories over the years.
For that, I'll always be proud, and we're going to make sure the community is passed on to the best person possible, someone who will ensure it thrives.
On a totally different topic. I was randomly surfing earlier and found a picture of Jon Walker that pretty much made me flail
He looks amazing!
Like Alex Suarez, who is very hot indeed.
And Jepha Howard. Now, I don't really know all that much about The Used, I only really started to research when I was writing Sound Tracking, but I do know he's one good looking man.
And also does things like this.
Pete likes to writhe on the floor too.
Talking of Pete.
But of course, I have a favourite.
ETA: learning MTV has a sneak peek of the new MCR vid and then being denied due to where I live, so frustrating!
ETA2: I'm reading comments about Mikey bouncing, and that people in France and Australia have been able to see. My face right now? Like this >:(

no subject
Date: 2009-01-29 03:02 pm (UTC)I was just looking at a poll for people's favourite bassist and Paul was on there, along with Mikey, Pete and Flea. Which was an interesting mix I thought.

(AND OMG NOT TO RUB IT IN OR ANYTHING BUT I JUST WATCHED THE CLIP AND AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! GERAAAAAARDDDD!!!!! *koff* I guess it goes live on itunes on Friday, though? So tomorrow you can see the whole thing!)
no subject
Date: 2009-01-29 06:40 pm (UTC)So really, thank you for trusting us back then.
And yes, MIKEY! I love him so.
DUDE! I AM FROWNING AT YOU SO HARD RIGHT NOW! SO HARD!

Date: 2009-01-29 05:27 pm (UTC)Hmmm, I agree that Alex Suarez and Jepha are both goodlooking men in their very different ways but I'm afraid I completely fail to see the attraction of either Jon or Pete, and mostly of Mikey too ;-) (But there really ought to be more Gerard/Jepha stories, he's small and tattooed and energetic just like everyone else Gerard apparently crushes on!!)
*shakes fist at MTV* That's so evil! I want it NOW!!!!
no subject
Date: 2009-01-29 06:43 pm (UTC)Alex and Jepha are like opposites of each other, rough and smooth. Normally Jon doesn't do it for me either and while I think Pete's hot, I can see why others may not think so. But it's when you say Mikey's not hot that I struggle to understand, because I honestly think he's gorgeous.
Man, I know! I'm sitting here waiting impatiently for someone to rip the thing. I need to see!

Date: 2009-01-30 11:43 am (UTC)"I was thinking...."
"Wait." Bob holds up a hand and then tugs at the crumpled sheet, settling it over his lap, because he knows Gerard and when he gets that look in his eye, that suppressed excitement in his voice, well, it's best to be covered, that's just the way it is. Sheet firmly in place, Bob says, "Go on."
"Right," Gerard says. "I was thinking, we have that book and we haven't tried any of it."
"What book?" Suspicious, Bob looks at Gerard, because when he starts talking about trying stuff it could be anything from cross-dressing to seeing if it's possible to make a hovercraft out of industrial fans and a plank of wood. A tip, you can't.
In answer Gerard leans over the side of the bed, exposing the line of his back and curve of his ass. Unable to resist, Bob reaches out and traces his fingers over the bumps of Gerard's spine, keeps going, lower, palm brushing over the fine hairs on Gerard's thighs. Which is when Gerard twists back in place, laughing as he sits on Bob's hand. He holds up a book, grinning wide.
"This one."
Bob scowls and pulls his hand from where it's jammed between mattress and skin. "I thought I threw that away."
"You did," Gerard says. "I got it out of the trash."
Which makes Bob just look, because he'd buried it at the bottom of the can, under coffee grinds and food scraps and the mysterious green substance they'd found in the back of the fridge.
"It's fine, see." Gerard holds up the book and holds it close to his nose, fingers over the green-tinged stain. "It smells a bit, but it's perfectly readable."
"Well as long as it's readable."
"Yeah, yeah. The first few pages are a bit blurred, but we've done that anyway. I think." Gerard frowns and turns the book upside down. "Does that look like someone fucking a plushie. I suppose it could be a goat."
"I have not fucked a goat!"
"You've fucked me dressed as sheep, that sort of counts."
Bob resists the urge to smother himself with his pillow, because what can he say? It's true.
"Oh, but hey. Mikey was telling me he'd marked a page for us. Let's see." Flicking through the pages, Gerard grins and shows a page to Bob, one with the title underlined with yellow and then surrounded by red-marker drawn stars. "Here we go, vorephilia. It's when you're turned on by the idea of being eaten. Cool."
It's almost too much. That Mikey -- Gerard's baby brother -- not only bought them a book of unusual sexual practices, but has gone through and noted which ones he thinks they should try, but also that Gerard actually wants to give them a go. Vorephilia. Fuck.
"If it helps, I'll let you eat me," Gerard says, so fucking earnest that Bob can't help loving him that little bit more; even if he is a garbage-raking flesh-eating freak.
"Too much for you, yeah?" Gerard says, when all Bob does is lie back and look. He pats Bob's shoulder then, lingering a little, his fingers stroking along Bob's collar bone before returning to the book. Turning pages he stops, says, "Aha! How about this? All we need is a tube, some lube and a hamster. We can...."
Which is where Bob draws the line, because a rodent is not getting near his ass, no matter what Gerard or the stupid book might say. Which means there's only one thing to do. Rolling over and pushing himself onto his knees, Bob pounces, pushing Gerard onto the bed and straddling him in one easy move. His thighs tight against Gerard's sides, Bob holds him in the place and leans in, his hair falling forward, blond against black, so close he can feel Gerard breathe.
"Fuck the book."
Gerard smiles, the slightest curl of his lips. "I think I saw that in there, I could...."
Growling, Bob grabs the book out of Gerard's hand and sends it sailing across the room. Shifts his weight so he's lying along Gerard's body, trapping him against the bed and moves in for a kiss, tasting cigarettes and coffee, feeling the hitch in Gerard's breath. He pulls back slightly, says, "How about I fuck you?"
In reply Gerard pulls Bob closer, fingers digging into his back, bares his throat and says, "Yes."

I've just posted our goodbye post over there. I'm all :( again.
