Title: The Truth About Patrick Band(s): Fall Out Boy Pairing(s): Pete/Patrick, Pete/Patrick/Mikey Word Count: 23 630 words Rating: Explicit Warning(s): Lies and deception, self confidence issues. A/N: Huge thanks to girlpearl for excellent beta that improved the story tenfold, and to pennyplainknits and melusina for reading along as I wrote it and encouraging this madness. Also huge thanks to the wonderful bbb mods for being supremely awesome, and of course to my awesome artist and brilliant mixers for the awesome extras.
Summary: Pete Wentz is a fashion mogul with a brand new music label who gets an earful of struggling artist Patrick Stump's demo and wants to sign him. Except when he asks to see a photo of Patrick, Patrick sends him a picture of his hot roommate Mikey Way instead.
An AU based on the movie The Truth About Cats and Dogs.
So I wrote that fic where Patrick decides to be a Celebrity Skin on Best Ink that I've been wailing on about um..... two months ago. Totally forgot to crosspost it here - so here it is! *jazz hands*
Fandom: Bandom - Fall Out Boy Pairing/s: Pete/Patrick, can be read as Gen Length: 2646 words Rating: Gen A/N: Written for pennyplainknits, with thanks to melusina for beta Summary: Patrick decides to be a Celebrity Skin for Pete on Best Ink.
So let's see what happens if I just pretend it hasn't been MONTHS since my last post and I just post a meme because it sounds fun and melusina told me to.
*JAZZ HANDS*
Give me a link or title to one of my fics (any 'verse/any fandom), and I'll give you a detail that didn't make it into the fic - it could be background canon, deleted material (if I have it), a look into the future - or ask me a question about inspiration, the writing process, research.
Most of my fic can be found here: My AO3 Works. I really should update my LJ/DW masterlist sometime...
Um, yeah so I made a thing... for Xmas. Which was a while ago now. And I totally forgot to crosspost it! (Does anyone even read this thing anymore? I can't even tell.) But yes! I participated in the bandom_holidays exchange, which was superfun and tried to write something sort of action-adventurey for my lovely recipient dr_jasley and mostly managed to riff on the movie Sneakers and throw in some threesome porn because that's how I roll.
It's also sort-of a prequel to The Youngblood Chronicles, but only sort-of because it doesn't have any of the nasty stuff from that universe in it.
Fandom: Bandom - Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco Pairing/s: Pete/Patrick, Pete/Patrick/Brendon, Patrick/Brendon Length: 12 273 words Rating: explicit A/N: Massive thanks to girlpearl for stellar last minute beta, and to pennyplainknits and melusina for cheerleading and handholding. Summary: Some people might call them thieves, but Pete likes to call them Finders.
In which Pete, Patrick, Andy and Joe are a crack team with a variety of skills, hired to find lost things.
I signed on for the bandom_meme fanworks exchange. I totally missed the prompts claiming, but luckily enough I maanged to find something I felt I could work with, even if it was a bit of a stretch. So here's around 3k of extremely handwavey historical fic with artist!Gerard and muse!Frank.
Title: Brushstrokes Fandom: Bandom Band/Pairing: MCR, Frank/Gerard Word Count: 3.3k Rating: Explicit Warning: Historical handwaveyness Summary: Gerard is a well-known artist. Frank becomes his muse.
Title: Close Quarters Author:ladyfoxxx Bands: Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance Pairing(s): Patrick/Ray, Pete/Mikey, Pete/Patrick, Mikey/Ray, Pete/Patrick/Mikey/Ray Word Count: 12 800 words Rating: Explicit Warning(s): None Summary:
Warped passes in a blaze of hot nights, broken strings and stolen kisses. The last night of tour finds Patrick, Ray, Pete and Mikey the last guys standing after a long, lazy night of partying. It makes a weird kind of sense that it would be the four of them, Patrick figures. Two couples nearing their use-by date, trading sleep to wring every last moment from the summer.
A/N: This was supposed to be a PWP, but it grew all these feelings! Massive thanks to melusina for wonderful beta that made this a much better story. Huge kudos to pennyplainknits, girlpearl and halfeatenmoon for reading along as I wrote it and convincing me it was good enough.
This fic is set after Over Sharing but you don't have to read that to follow this.
So I signed up for a kink bingo card for this round. Since my last catastrophic failure a few years back (I think I filled two squares and they weren't even next to each other) I haven't participated in KB, but I figured I'll give it a go:
I'm not sure if I'm in a post-BBB slump or I got a hard card or what, but I'm actually having trouble coming up with ideas. (Or maybe I'm just bummed because I didn't get any of my usual favourites.) I've got a vague notion for leather/latex/rubber square but even that is pretty hazy.
I welcome suggestions, both for individual stories and for possible bingos!
Title: A Little Infamy Fandom: Bandom Band(s): Fall Out Boy (also features Butch Walker, Travie McCoy, William Beckett, Gabe Saporta, Lupe Fiasco, Ryan Ross and Brendon Urie) Pairing(s): Pete/Patrick Word Count: 33 000 Rating: Explicit Warning(s): One instance of homophobic language Summary:
Patrick is a solo artist who's sunk his heart and soul into a second album that's failing to chart. Obviously what he needs to bump up sales and dirty up his nice guy image is a sex scandal. His music label hire amateur porn star and aspiring poet Pete to pose as Patrick's boyfriend and together they make one intimate video destined for infamy on the internet.
Patrick falling for Pete isn't part of the plan.
A/N: I need to give massive thanks to pennyplainknits for alpha reading and handholding, also big love to melusina and girlpearl for encouraging this madness at every turn. Huge, huge thanks to anoneknewmoose for stellar beta, fixing all my stupid mistakes and making this readable. Big props to my entire twitter feed for being a bunch of enablers! Love you guys.
I was extremely excited when I saw who picked my fic to mix for - I knew melusina would "get" the story and this mix is seriously SO GREAT. It really does describe the story so beautifully - every track makes me think of a moment in the fic - and some do it SO well I was SQUEALING.
Let's just pretend I've been posting regularly, shall we?
So some folk were talking about fannish origins on Twitter and it got me thinking, I don't know if I've ever really shared my origin story in any real deapth and it might actually be a fun thing to do. So, here it is.
Hey look - my first DW crosspost! Go me! (I sure hope this works now). I actually started this post a while ago by my internet has been bodgy so here are some now-out-of-date statistics!
Give me a title in comments and I tell you the story that would go with it. Note: you can specify a character or pairing too!
I will probably spin you a notfic of some kind.
In other news I got a story in for this year's bandombigbang wave one. Woohoo! I totally decided to write it 2 weeks before draft deadline and just burned out a whole bunch of words that I didn't even read back before I sent it in (my poor poor artist and/or mixer). It's so ridiculous but I kind of love the idea, so I just need to get it finished and polished up. Not that I'm doing memes to procrastinate or anything... I wouldn't do that, right? *adjusts halo*
Anyway, to all the people I got to hang out with, and the ones I only got to see briefly, this is me sending you the most epic heart-hands. I would count this experience as such a success, even if the second half of it was heavily and specifically coloured by real life events we had no control over. Guys, I'm so glad I got to meet you, talk to you, hug you, laugh with you. To the two people who told me "I decided to come to MJ because I knew you were going" MY HEART you guys, and all my love.
I suppose it's kind of fitting for me to be having so many feelings about this con, and that's okay, because fangirls are all about feelings. I LOVE YOU GUYS. <3
So hey, long time no post, eh? Stuff has indeed happened! The most exciting of which is I am destined for muskratjamboree in less than a month!
Somehow mizubyte and I managed to get our panels selected! Yay! Except all three were selected and we had to orphan one. Boo! But cee_m grabbed the 3some panel we had to orphan so it'll be awesome! Yay!
Anyway, one of the panels we could NOT give up was Fandom Osmosis: All The Stuff You Know About Fandoms You Aren't Even In panel on the Sunday. We're kicking off the panel with some pub-style pan-fandom trivia.
Now because Miz and I aren't experts in all things fandom and because we are lazy we need YOUR help to come up with trivia questions! What kind of stuff do you know about fandoms you're not in? Are there tidbits you know about your own fandom that you think a casual reader might pick up on?
Example question: Fandom: Supernatural Question: "What kind of car does Dean drive?" Answer: __________
Title: Full Frontal Assault Author:ladyfoxxx Rating: Mature Warnings: Some angst Summary:There is a naked Patrick Stump in Pete's hotel room. No, really. Notes: Thanks so much to romanticalgirl for superfast beta, and to halfeatenmoon for cheerleading, brainstorming and giving this fic a title.
Total written: 10 fics, 6 ficlets. Total wordcount for 2012: 138 200 words Not bad considering I was working insanely most of the year and didn't feel like I was getting much writing done at all. Definitely wrote less in the latter half of the year, but I had a lot going on in RL.
Once again, I'd like to thank anyone who's ever read any of my ridiculous ramblings, whether you commented or not. Thanks for being my audience! Massive thanks to all those awesome authors, podficcers, artists and other awesome fangirls and fanboys who keep producing the goods for me to consume. I love you guys.
Please do feel free to weigh in with any opinions in the comments. Even if it's just to tell me about Ray Toro's thighs. In fact, especially if it's about that.
Title: On Air Pairing(s): Frank/Mikey, (Ray/Christa) Rating: PG-13 Warnings: None Word count: 15 500 words Summary: Frank's a radio DJ at an alternative station, spinning punk tracks and talking shit. When he gets handed the most popular show at the station to host, his first guests are independent horror filmmakers Gerard and Mikey Way. Written for lucifuge_5 in the exchange. (Original post) A/N: Huge thanks to my amazing betas who I can now unmask! akamine_chan for betaing the crap out of it and inside info on what Luce likes, pennyplainknits and fabu for early brainstorming help and halfeatenmoon for forcing me over the finish line kicking and screaming!
Darling Aka, I hear you are having a shitty day. Here is that ficlet I still owe you. <3
Fandom: Bandom - MCR Title: Take What You Want Pairing: Frank/Gerard (Frank/Jamia) Length: 1300 words Rating/Warnings: M, angst Summary: Set after Not As Advertised A/N: This was a quick-write and it's not been beta'ed. All mistakes are mine.
Hey look, I'm not dead! I've not posted for so very long I have no idea where to start! I've been back in Australia for 6 months and have a fair amount of sunburn to show for it. It's damn HOT.
I tend to pop up a lot more on Twitter than I do on LJ these days. I folded and got myself a tumblr as well, but I have to admit, I don't really GET tumblr yet. It's very pretty, yes, but I just don't really know what to do except reblog pretty pictures. I miss the part where there is communication and connection between people.
Anyway, it's 2013! Wow! I've not yet done my end of year fic roundup. I think I'm going to wait until after bandomstuffsit reveals to do that so I can include the fic I wrote for stuffsit.
Speaking of - anyone want to hazard a guess which fic I wrote for bandomstuffsit? I think the reveals are only a day or two away, but there's still time to guess! C'mon! I'll notfic you something if you get it right.
The fic I received for bandomstuffsit is AWESOME. The Creation Of Beauty - it's Ryan/Spencer post-divorce fic with secret kinks and secret identities and longing and pining and Brendon oversharing and being awesome. I love it a LOT. You should check it out.
I haven't been very good at keeping up with the stuffsit fics as they've been posting, but the ones I've read I've been loving.
There were TWO a new excellent Ray/Ian fics! Keep It Steady where they are both community centre guitar teachers and Tonight (We Are Young) - super sweet established couple fic!
This adorable Mikey/Ray where Mikey is a vampire: Release The Bats
And this awesome Mikey/Ray crossdressing fic which I LOVED: Second Skin
I still have so many more to read! Yay new fic! So exciting.
I'd also like to participate in the Snowflake Challenge this year if I can manage it. I've already taken the first step and updated my fic Masterlist so it's all nice and shiny and up to date. The coding is a pain, but I always feel better once it's up to date.
How are you today lovely flist? How's 2013 treating you?
This list is a WIP. It is by NO MEANS complete. In fact, it is painfully incomplete. I am TERRIBLE at keeping track of things I've read (and even worse at ones I haven't) so I've no doubt missed a lot of great fic, therefore I need your help! Please link me to fics in the comments I have missed so I can add them! Ray-centric fics only. This should be a reclist of fic where Ray is the main event. Because he's worth it.
1. genderswap 2. bodyswap 3. drunk!fic 4. huddling for warmth 5. pretending to be married 6. secretly a virgin 7. amnesia 8. cross-dressing 9. forced to share a bed 10. truth or dare 11. historical AU 12. accidental-baby-acquisition 13. apocalypse fic 14. telepathy 15. High School / College AU
Give me a fandom/pairing, and I'll tell you something. Fandoms applicable: bandom
ETA - "Pairing" doesn't need to be only two. Can the threesomes/moresomes. Just sayin'.
Reply will likely be notfic and very likely be highly questionable in content.
My ongoing quest to get Ray laid continues unabated.
Fandom: Bandom – MCR and FOB Title: Over Sharing Pairing: Ray/Patrick (Pete/Mikey) Rating: M? Length: 2400 words A/N: This is all cee_m's fault. And pennyplainknits too. Inspirational material here. Huge thanks to akamine_chan for prompt and excellent beta.
Summary: "You're not Mikey," Ray says dumbly.
"Yeah, no shit," Patrick says, shifting his bag, "So he didn't tell you then?"
"Didn't tell me what?" Ray asks, then his brain kicks in (hey, it takes a few minutes for him to shift gears out of jerking-off mode). "Oh wait - let me guess. Mikey's crashing with Pete so you're stuck with me?"
You know when you get that first idea for a fic, all shiny and exciting and you immediately latch onto ONE scene or ONE moment that you desperately want to write? Sometimes you write thousands of words JUST so you can write that ONE scene or moment?
Well that's what happens to me, anyway. OFTEN. So I did a quick poll earlier on Twitter and it appears I am not alone in this. And now I am desperately interested to know what everyone else's key scenes/moments in fic are.
So! Tell me. What was that scene you wanted to write in that particular fic? Did it come out the way you thought it would? Did it end up being a key scene, or just another scene? Was it a scene a lot of people commented on? Did you (GASP) need to cut the scene out of the fic in the end? ;___;
It's nearly 11pm and I'm still at work! Please help me to not stab people by asking me questions!
Mememememememmeeee

So eledhwenlin, pennyplainknits and I all drank the Ray/Ian Kool-Aid together and we maybe have a lot of feelings about hot guitarists with awesome hair and how they should hook up. Which devolved into twit!fic which devolved into not!fic which devolved into not!fic with large chunks of porn scattered through it.
Title: Eruption (or: Ray Toro's Jailbait Boyfriend) Fandom: Bandom Bands: MCR, Panic Pairing: Ray/Ian Word Count: 10k Rating: Explicit Warnings: Insanity. Leather pants. Pete Wentz. Summary: Ridiculous twitter-originated not!fic where Ray has a crush on Ian, Mikey can detect people's sex habits by the way they play guitar, Spencer is unimpressed by Ray's ass, Ian is a tiny hotass and their respective bands are a bunch of interfering assholes.
Hi! So I haven't posted in a while, and apparently I'm still not ready to make a real post. So let's talk about Transformative Works.
I have no idea what I did to be so lucky (except maybe have blanket permission?) but there have been quite a few of my stories being transformed lately and I am kind of super excited about this.
Fandom: Bandom Bands: MCR, The Used (Panic, FOB) Pairing(s): Frank/Mikey (Ray/Spencer) Word Count: 50 500 words Rating: NC-17 Warnings: Canon fuckery - this is an AU which borrows heavily from canon, but it's still an AU. Summary: "You and me, right Mikes?"
"Yeah, fuck everybody else."
Best friends since high school, if Frank could've chosen a brother, he'd pick Mikey. Then Mikey became a rock star and Frank... didn't. After years of radio silence, Mikey steps onto a stage in Jersey and back into Frank's life.
(Or, the one where Frank is a school teacher and Mikey plays rhythm in The Used.)
A/N: This story owes a lot to a lot of people. To anoneknewmoose for stellar beta and making sure I knew it was worth posting. To mizubyte for straightening out my canon fuckups (she drew me a diagram of the Starland Ballroom, you guys!) and being generally brilliant. To jenepel and silly_cleo the most awesome Nano gurus without whom this story wouldn't even have been finished, and to turps33, kopperblaze, cee_m and my entire twitter feed for continually reassuring me that there were people out there who actually wanted to read this ridiculous story. Lastly, to the awesome bandombigbang mods for running the challenge beautifully and being super helpful and amazing.
I know you're not fannishly engaged right now, but just to let you know, the direct link doesn't work, and the media fire link has an extra " at the end that borks the download. <3 you a lot.

I am crying. It is four a.m. and this fic has ruined me. My life will never be the same again. Please send psychiatric help.*blatantly ignores instructions asking for link & title*
