James goes back to work on Wednesday. It was his usual day off tomorrow anyway so the doctor signed him off for today so he could have those extra two days. So, two more days of him sitting asking me to look up crossword puzzle clues even though his own laptop is right next to him. Not that that annoys me. Not at all.

After a comment yesterday about Mikey not wearing colours all I can think about is a Gabe/Mikey bodyswap fic. How 'Mikey' would suddenly start wearing neon while 'Gabe' emerges totally dressed in black. Then if they had to perform it would be chaos, with Cobras almost booed off-stage when Gabe didn't interact with the crowd and Mikey would just beam and strut around the stage -- after he'd been peeled out of his bright orange shirt and lime green pants. Just thinking about it is making me laugh.

Looking at my h/c bingo card I noticed that I have three squares in a line. I just need to write stroke and post-traumatic stress disorder and I could call bingo, not that it matters as I'm going for a blackout. It's wrong to think about strokes in terms of hooker fics and johns having what looks like a stroke in the middle of sex leading to even more traumatised boys, yeah? Do not judge me! . I am thinking about using the prompt in a roundabout way for that square, because writing an actual stroke would take a lot of sensitive writing, also something long in order not to trivialise what's a devastating thing.

Thank you to everyone that said such lovely things on the writing meme. You made me sound much smarter than I actually am and am thrilled that such a wide variety of stories were mentioned. ♥ to you all. I'm still working through my flist and replying to the meme. You're all so talented, it's really quite sickening how much.

I've finally started to upload my popslash stories to AO3. It's so different to uploading the bandom ones because for popslash everything is so much more casual. Ratings, summaries, hell, even pairings sometimes, popslash needs none of that nonsense! Which is why I have 6 plus years worth of stories with little more than a title and word count. I think after I've finished uploading those I'll work on my masterlist because it's way overdue for an overhaul. I may even go crazy and add some summaries. Or you know, leave it for ages, forget to add things to it and end up frantically searching my journal months from now to find stories I vaguely remember posting.

Silly James!

Gabe/Mikey bodyswap would be HILARIOUS! You should totally write that.

I'm judging you SO HARD right now ;-P

You write awesome stories!

You're so industrious, go you! And when you've finally updated your masterlist I'll come along and say, "Umh, you forgot this one and this one and this one..." :-D

Posting to AO3 is hard work! All those headers as you say, plus you have to check that the formatting isn't screwed up in any new and exciting way, and if there's a prequel or a sequel or it belongs to a challenge then that has to be linked up in the right place, and and and. I've gotten back to mid-2007 and have been stalled out there for a while. THREE YEARS DOWN, ONLY TEN TO GO O.O

Mikey in neon is a thought of immense hilarity!

I would read so much of that Gabe/Mikey bodyswap fic. SO MUCH. \o/

You should totally write the Mikey/Gabe Bodyswitchers!! It would be hysterical and so funny. I can just see Mikey singing, ahahaha. He would do the classic Jim Morrison thing and face the back of the stage.

And Gabe would be all over Frankie and freak everyone out. *g*

It's probably just me that went to a "Gerard/Gabe in Mikey's body" place, huh?

yay for being able to go back to work soon.

OOOOO...I would totally read that story to pieces. I'm not the biggest fan of bodyswap fic unless it's done well(and just reading the comments above is awesome and wonderful).

DUDE...BLACKOUT*flails*....I'm so totally camping out to wait for that*beaming grin*

once I made my masterlist on dw I kind of ocd update it when I post new fic(though I should go back and post all of fbi verse and my other bingo cards on my lj comm*not that I have to...only like two people follow it*)

:D:D:D:D:D

omg i want all the mikey/gabe bodyswap fic EVER.

Heh. Who knew the casualness of popslash would one day come and kick your ass? :D I still skim most fic headers, but that stuff does make fic nicely searchable on AO3 so it's good for something.
