Dec. 15th, 2009 07:45 pmI'm kind of obsessed with Panic's version of Karma Police at the moment. The part where Ryan joins in with the singing gives me shivers. Thankfully I'm listening via You Tube otherwise my last fm gadget thing would show 8927933 playings of the same song.
This is going hand in hand with my need to read all the Panic fic in the world! The kind with all four of them anyway. Which is exactly what I'm going to do once I've finished writing MtYG, because man, talk about pushing deadlines.
So yeah, you'll have noticed I posted long fic on Sunday. It's a story I'm really proud of, even if at one point I was despairing that I'd get it done and also that it was the worst thing I'd ever written. When I got the assignment I had to laugh because it matched what happened with my exchange stories last year. Then I wrote for
llamabitchyo twice, someone who I adore and is also on my beta filter. This year I wrote birthday fic for Arsenic and was then matched to her, which wouldn't be an issue except I talk to her pretty much daily and also as you poor people know, like to talk about what I'm writing. I am not good at misdirection! Especially when all I want to do is talk about sex slaves. In cages.
Next long fic I'll have to change up the Mikey/Pete, Spencer/Ryan thing that I've got going on. But I do love writing from Ryan's POV. I also want a thousand stories where he's secret friends with Mikey, which may be random but it would be awesome. They could have failboat adventures together and need rescuing from the most improbable places.
I had an awesome mail day today. Thank you so much to
turloughishere and
sperrywink *hugs you both so hard* Also, thank you to
nopseud,
frausorge,
_bettina_,
augustuscaesar,
spasticat and
digital_diva for the cards. You all rock so hard *smooches*

Date: 2009-12-15 08:05 pm (UTC)And Panic is love and a secret Ryan & Mikey friendship would be lovely. Speaking of Panic, there is the new interview with Brendon and Spencer and All I could do was stare at Spencer's hair. It was so shiny and had highlights. Sigh. I love his hair. he seriously has magical hair.
Mikey/Frank!! I'm putting in my vote for more Mikey/Frank from you. *g*

Date: 2009-12-15 08:15 pm (UTC)The thought of a secret Mikey and Ryan friendship makes me happy. I want them to go shopping together and rake through thrift stores, Ryan pulling a hat onto Mikey and setting it at a rakish angle.
Spencer does have magical hair. He needs to give tips. In fact, as Brendon was wanting to cut hair they should go into business together as a nice sideline. Brendon can cut and Spencer give advice. I'm sure it would be a hit.
I am down with more Mikey/Frank! With frolicking kittens maybe? *g*

Date: 2009-12-15 08:48 pm (UTC)You could always write from Gerard's pov if you want a change... *hint* *hint*
You got my card, yay!! Have you opened your present yet or are you saving it until Christmas like Kimberly? (I got a Bob soap from Saba today!! It really smells wonderful.)

Date: 2009-12-15 08:56 pm (UTC)I've just done a long story from Gerard's pov! What I should do for a change is write from Mikey's POV. That would be good.
I did get it! I'm saving my present. I never open presents early, it gives me something to look forward to on Christmas day. Thank you!
Saba seems to have bought up a load of Bob soap. She really is the best.

Date: 2009-12-15 09:49 pm (UTC)They'd go wandering, just going from one thing to another and look up and realise that somehow they've ended up in a corner of the basement and it's getting kind of late. So they try to find their way back, but get distracted again, taking pictures of each other with the exhibits. They get a random visitor to take their picture next to the stuffed lion.

Date: 2009-12-15 10:21 pm (UTC)The Way brothers throwing open their house to painfully thin Ryan and despairing because each night he locks himself in his room and then they find out he's taking saved food and climbing out of the window to take food to his friends who're hiding in a derelict house. Oh, and maybe Gerard and Mikey find out because Ryan falls when he's climbing down and they hear a thump and he's on the grass all injured with bread and bits of meat surrounding him and he's won't let them take him inside or to the hospital because he needs to go to the house because his friends will be worried!

Date: 2009-12-15 10:59 pm (UTC)if you'll tell me more about this intriguing scenario i can send you a start of one utterly ridiculous ~dramatic chatfic story? :D?
no subject
Date: 2009-12-15 11:28 pm (UTC)I'm thinking that it would have to be set in New Jersey. Mikey and Gerard live in the family home on their own after their parents decided to head off on their travels.
They've both got past their drinks and drugs issues and have settled down into their weird Way version of mundane life. Mikey working for Eyeball while Gerard has a part time job during the day and goes to art school at night.
Which is how he finds Ryan. It's late and bitterly cold and Gerard's bundled up in like, fives scarves and a woollen hat and his coat fastened up to his chin. He's got his art easel case thing up against his chest and his chin down which is why he nearly misses the kid at first.
The kid's wearing a light coat that's far too big and his pants are soaked through and his hair's hanging in his face in clumps. But what Gerard's looking at is the kids hands, how his fingers are white as he rummages through the trash can outside one of the takeaways that have just closed.
What Gerard should do is keep walking but what he does do is head across the road, he doesn't know what he's going to do, give the kid some money or a scarf, something. But when Gerard gets close the kid looks over at him, all defiant and proud as if defying Gerard to say something.
So Gerard's all confused because the kid is obviously *freezing* and is clutching a half-eaten burger and Gerard's going for his wallet when the kid scowls and turns and hurries away.
Of course Gerard goes after him, which makes the kid run, but he's not looking where he's going and runs onto the road, getting clipped by a car. Not hard, just enough to send him sprawling on the icy ground and his hands are bleeding and he's got a cut on his forehead and Gerard's beside himself.
It's nearly midnight and there's no one around and the kid's just lying there, the snow next to his hands turning red. And Gerard doesn't know what to *do* but he has to do something, especially when the kid starts to struggle to stand. Which is when Gerard goes to help, backing away when the kid all but snarls, but what Gerard does know how to do is talk and he keeps talking until the kid agrees to come back to Gerard's house to wash his hands at least, because what if he gets gangrene or something?
Thankfully it's not far to walk and when they get there Mikey's sitting watching some horror movie and when he sees Gerard come in with this scrawny kid he just looks at him like, are you crazy?
Meanwhile Ryan washes his own hands and face. He allows Gerard to get antiseptic but won't let him apply it and then he's about to leave when Gerard says, look, let me get you something warm to wear at least and Ryan's going to say no, he doesn't need charity when he thinks of Brendon, Jon and Spencer lying huddled together next to the small fire and he nods and says, fine.
So Gerard's all, just sit down I'll be a minute and Ryan sits on one of the kitchen chairs and in the time it takes Gerard to go upstairs Ryan falls asleep, his head pillowed on the table.

Monday -- Thrift shop shopping.
Tuesday -- The museum.
Wednesday -- Visiting Jon for walks in the snow. Jon gives them mittens, hats and scarves but they still end up blue-lipped and shaking until he bundles them back in the car with the heater up high.
