turpsAt the top of my GDocs file it says No one is viewing and every time I re-read it as no one is watching, which is just creepy.
Today Corey has gone out for the day with his friends and James is at work so I intend to crack on with the ways+1. I have to, I love my betas and they have to get tired of me sending stuff and saying I need it for the next day. It's an exchange story so I can't talk details but I'm veering between liking what I have and thinking I'm going insane. Right now insanity is winning.
When I'm done I'm going to write hooker fic, glorious, shameless, hookerfic. I just have to decide if I'm going for the high-class version with Mikey and Pete and eating waffles and no sex or the rougher version which I'd use for a h/c bingo fill.
Talking of shameless, following a link from google alerts last night I ended up on Fic Wad. In my defence it's been a long time since I indulged in terrible badfic. Of course the story that attracted my attention was barred to non-members, which was okay, because when I double clicked in the log in box I was already a member. Which is how I spent a good hour reading about bulimic cutter Mikey who got taken away to a mental institution But, even that wasn't as good as the story that had my new favourite phrase. Bob wasn't namby pamby about things. Too right, Bob is never namby pamby. This is a different story btw, just in case you thought anti namby pamby Bob was hanging with bulimic cutter Mikey.
I've had heart-eyes over all the Comic Con pictures, and may have had this one open in full size in a tab for days now. He's so pretty! Also, apart from the ones of Gerard shopping, which are adorable because he's so intent on his potential purchases, I really love
Look at his little clasped hands? How so adorable G Way? Also, Ray, pose more you amazing man, and Frank, be more thrilled about your babies, I dare you. See if you burst from sheer joy.
I love them in all their dirty, screechy glory.

Date: 2010-07-27 04:39 pm (UTC)I've just finished reading it so you'll get a mail with my reactions soon.
You know I can't stand badfic but I can't help but find your shameless love of it strangely endearing. So I guess I can't completely condemn it since it makes you so happy. Bob is not namby pamby! Awesome!!
Whenever I see that pic of Gerard I can't help but feel a little sad I didn't wait one more day to make those icons. It's such a fabulous picture of him. I think I maybe should make one of it just for myself.
The embedded file never finishes loading for me so I can't see what it is.

Date: 2010-07-27 04:58 pm (UTC)At least I know it's badfic, that's one thing. I look at the reviews people leave where they think it's the best fic ever! and want to weep.
You should do that icon, it's an adorable picture and you'd make it look amazing I'm sure.
It's a vid of them doing I'm Not Okay on the Yahoo launch. I had horrible trouble getting it to embed, it's done so on LJ but apparently not here. Direct link is here if you want to see.

Is it wrong that I am all excited to see his wedding ring in that one?
Oh and on your writing efforts - you are not going insane. This is a perfectly normal phase in the writing process. PUSH ON. And I, for one, am terribly excited for hookerfic, in whatever flavour it arrives! And of course, your ways+1 will be utterly wonderful I don't doubt it.
And goodness no. Bob is NEVER namby pamby about things. Not EVER.

Date: 2010-07-27 04:12 pm (UTC)I have your comment still in my in-box about the ways+1. I keep looking at it to reassure myself that it can actually work. I'm juggling so many issues and yeah, I'm so at that stumbling block that gets us all.
Hooker fic ♥
He is not! Least namby pamby man ever. Because he is a drummer, and mere mortals don't understand.

Date: 2010-07-27 03:50 pm (UTC)I saw the one picture of Gerard shopping and loved it. He's just...he's one of us, you know? He's a giant, giant dork and proud of it, comfortable in it, and I'm just so ridiculously happy for that. It feels good being a fan of one of us, rather than a Rock Stah.
That picture of Mikey Way is awesome--and you can see the little thought bubble: "we need taller fans." His little crunched shoulders! I'm sure Alicia can rub them out for him, though. [grins]
no subject
Date: 2010-07-27 04:08 pm (UTC)Have you seen all the shopping pictures? The one where he's checking out a copy of Hispanic Batman makes me laugh every time. You're right, he is one of us for sure.
My mind is in the gutter!
But yeah, though Mikey seems to do that slouch always. The man has a permanent hunch at times.
How're you doing now?
no subject
Date: 2010-07-27 04:34 pm (UTC)I'm doing better. Not as bad as this weekend.
I ordered a Skeleton Crew t-shirt and button pack that day, too. It's going to be my Think Of Lucy t-shirt, I think. She would approve of getting swag in the mail, that's for sure.
So in my quest to make sure that I now fucking TELL people how awesome they are, all the time, in case they get hit by a bus or run away with Mikey to the woods...you know I think you're awesome, right? And a wonderful friend. [hugs you] Thank you, honey.
no subject
Date: 2010-07-27 08:35 pm (UTC)I'm glad you had a friend there when you needed one. And yeah, swag is a perfect way to remember her.
That's such a lovely thing to say. Thank you *hugs you hard*
I'm so glad that we're friended. I've known of your name since poplslash days and am glad that bandom brought up together.

Also, oh, GERARD. [happy sigh] He's having such fun with his geekgasm.
no subject
Date: 2010-07-27 05:05 pm (UTC)We know that Mikey hoards jackets, so I figure that Mikey's had the SoL jacket all this time, and after finding Mikey sort of stroking it one too many times Alicia prises it out of his hands and tells him it's time to let it go.
So it's put in a pile to go to Goodwill, and Gerard comes along and sees this awesome jacket, and takes off with it :D
no subject
Date: 2010-07-27 05:20 pm (UTC)Gerard looked down at the jacket and blinked like he'd forgotten he was wearing one. Maybe he had. "It fits," he said mildly. "It looks good with the hair."
"Nothing looks good with the hair," Frank put in helpfully from behind his own microphone, and Gerard flipped him off without even looking.
Mikey rolled his eyes. "You broke into the house. Alicia's going to kill you."
Gerard looked smug. "*I* didn't sleep with Pete Wentz and then steal his jacket and keep it hidden in my closet for five years," he pointed out logically.
"I didn't steal it!" Frank was laughing now. "He gave it to me!"
Gerard snickered. "I don't think that helps your argument, Mikes."
"Guys, come on," Ray said patiently, checking levels on the mixing board next to his own microphone. "If we don't get this album done sometime this year, I think our fans might actually set the studio on fire."
Mikey glared, and glared, and Gerard grinned at him, and Mikey stomped off to get coffee.
Gerard stole my jacket, he texted Alicia. He must have taken it out of the Goodwill bag. He didn't say, "before I could."
Who do you think let him into the house? Alicia texted back.
no subject
Date: 2010-07-27 07:01 pm (UTC)That is the best and most gleeful thing ever!
Gerard's lawnmower song! The snark about Pete, Ray knowing that the fans would set the studio on fire.
Alicia so devious. So. Much. Glee!

Date: 2010-07-27 10:28 pm (UTC)i'm not gonna lie, i'm the kind of angst whore that would really enjoy a bulimic, or a cutter mikey. ANGST MOAR, PLZ. i think if it was written carefully, with knowledge of the issue, and of characterisation it could be well done. that being said, i totally wasted an hour of my life reading this ryan/brendon that was horrible, it didn't even double space between paragraphs, because it was a boarding school AU. sometimes it's important to sacrifice quality for lolz.
HISPANIC BATMAN. oh gway, don't ever stop being you.
in conclusion, write both!
no subject
Date: 2010-07-27 10:44 pm (UTC)I've always wanted a well written eating disorder fic. Or cutting, any of those self abusing tropes. The problem is, the only people that tend to write them are the badfic writers and they do so with purple prose and really bad writing, which means those topics end up being mocked by a lot of people.
Mikey's the obvious person for something like that, but I think with careful writing it could be applied to Bob too, how he dropped so much weight after joining the band.
I've wasted days of my life to 8902792 part badfic epics. Stories where the only resemblance to the people I know are the names and full of epithet and grammar issues that make me cringe. But they deal with my bullet proof kinks and so I'm helpless in my need to read.
I like your conclusion!
no subject
Date: 2010-07-28 01:54 am (UTC)*shrugs* I don't see why they have to be mocked, cliched things. Drinking into a coma is self harm, and it's early MCR canon, and many people write that era. I just want a fic where Bob or Mikey or Spencer or Joe stops eating and it takes awhile for the rest of the band to notice.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE? (and I feel like an idiot for the caps, because that probably proves I'm not mature enough to write it, but it just hit me and I was very excited, and I caps when I'm excited) Ray with trichotilomania. There was someone in my OCD management group back in the day with it. I think it could be really interesting to see.
I know! It was a boarding school AU, which is totally my thing thanks to my favourite series as a child (and HP didn't help that craving either, lemme tell you) but it was so faily. Ryan kept on calling it a British boarding school, and all the students except him had accents, but it was in MINNESOTA. And then the lack of double enter paragraphs, and using strike throughs when Ryan would change his opinion about something. But it was 24 chapters, and there was going to be porn at some point. I kept on repeating "make it through, there will be sex, just make it through". I had to stop at chapter 7, I just couldn't do it anymore.
My conclusions are always shiny and amazing. Because YOU OWE IT TO THE WORLD to write a mikey/pete in a diner, after you so creully posted a 100 word comment drabble of it. At the same time, GERARD IS A PIMP, AND RAY DOESN'T COME HOME!!! There is no wrong in this!
no subject
Date: 2010-08-01 04:08 pm (UTC)I want that so bad!
That boarding school AU sounds horrible. Obvious mistakes like that drive me insane and it's a shame because a lot of these poorly written stories contain good ideas. Some help grammar wise etc and they could be so much better.
I will write both sets of hookers! And enjoy doing so.
