Oh my gods, I need to stop picking up prompts to fill. Also to stop screwing up my sleep schedule, but that's another thing entirely.

Not that I. am actually sure I will even finish what I have started, and am definitely not going to comment to say that I am planning on filling it, but. my brain already is thinking up scenarios for it!?!? At least it seems to be more of a oneshot fill than my multichaptered insanities like GGYG or OBFASM. @__@ Another one of those would drive me crazy.

(Still, the prompt was amazing. Also I should go see whether anyone has filled the East Asia mahjong prompt yet, just because. lolol East Asia playing mahjong. I mean, it's what happens at almost every family get-together if my grandparents are there. ...Okay sometimes even when my grandparents aren't there. ♥ mahjong.)

Ah~ the holiday season is fast approaching. I love this time of year - or at least, the atmosphere of this time of year; I could honestly do without the cold. (You people who live in areas that deal with snow, shush, I am spoiled by California weather, okay. My ideal temperature range is like 80s to mid-90s plus humidity. Caliiiii why aren't you more humid. ;__; ) I love the overcast skies and the changing leaves, and watching all the lights go up for Christmas. It's just kind of beautiful, really.

I am also utterly ecstatic over the fact that my writer's block seems to be gone. Gods, I have missed creating, and just. THANK YOU hetalia_kink for kickstarting me again (also for the people who requested the prompts I'm filling, thank you so much.) Yeah, it's all fanfiction at the moment, but I am hoping once I get a solid basis for this one origific I want to do based on one of my playlists, I'll be able to get a good start on that, too.

And now I'm going through this journal and man, I'd forgotten how many plot bunnies I'd half-started. (I also didn't realise just how many of them were AUs, though I... really shouldn't be surprised by that.) And I think from now on, I'll solely be using this journal, since... honestly, anything really personal will probably end up on plurk. And I can always f-lock here, fandom journal or not.

I should probably go find more Hetalia people to spazflailglee with. Also, goddammit, but where did I put my notes for that Merlin/HP crossover fic I was planning awhile back, anyway!? (Also, I should probably reorganise tags here, if I'm going to be using this thing more often.)

Title: Damn You, Pete Wentz!
Fandom: Bandom (pre-split Panic at the Disco)
Characters: Panic, Pete Wentz
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Real people, fictional story.
Summary: It's like the best-kept secret in the world, except for the fact that the fans seem to write about It as though they know. Genderswitch! Also Ryan Ross's general disdain for fanfiction.
Notes: I couldn't really figure out where to go after a bit, so well. Thus why it ends where it ends! Badly written and ridiculously trope, but at this point, I'm just thankful to have written something.

( Damn You, Pete Wentz! )

The more I read about Diana Gabaldon's recent stance on fanfiction, the more it pisses me off.

( This is long, and rambly, and kind of meandering. Sorry. )

Essentially, fanfiction, I love you. ♥

In which I attempt to remember every WIP and soon-to-be WIP on my plate, hau hau. Speaking of, I should probably actually make a masterlist of my writing eventually, especially since it's scattered over two journals, neither of which are that well-organized. Also, it's just cleaner.

( Yeah, let's toss this whole thing under a cut. )

I would not be surprised if I missed something. Or a lot of somethings. I have more plot bunnies than I can even think of keeping up with.

My entry for mix exchange over @adellyna. Prompt was "something about exploration, new worlds or horizons; if the songs could retain one mood throughout (like no sudden dirges in the middle of upbeat happy songs), then that would be awesome. But not necessary."

Admittedly I didn't realize how few songs I had that fit until I started working on the mix, so I ended up digging around for new music, which I suspect is partly why the mix ended up so... odd. It also ended up being about journeying as much as exploration, but I hope the recipient finds it all right nonetheless.

Credit goes to antiva for the awesome, awesome covers.

Is it just me, or do the Wentzdom bands tend to crossover a lot more fic-wise than say, the bands under SME or JE do?

I mean, this might be a case here of me just not being deep enough into Asian bandom, but. From what I've seen so far you just don't seem to get those epic pan-band fics in SME-dom or JE-dom that you might with those under the FBR label. Which, I don't know how close most of the bands under Johnny's Entertainment are, but it's canon that there are ties between DBSK and SuJu, and DBSK and TRAX, and I think SuJu and Epik High too? And yet!

Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places. Then again, from what I've seen so far, the idea a lot of the fic authors have about their fic plots - at least for K-pop bandom fic - lean towards mirroring K-dramas in terms of, well. drama and plot points. (which well. I don't watch K-dramas because I can't get over how ridiculous they can be. They're pretty much Asian soap operas!)

It would probably also help if there were primer posts for a lot of these Asian bands, too. Or primers with more info than, like, D.O.B./height/likes/dislikes. I know at least for me, primers were a huge help in introducing me to all the bands in Wentzdom, plus all the ties between the different bands and stuff. I'm not sure something like that actually exists for the bands under SME.

...Okay, I admit. More than anything, I actually just want Kangta/Vanness street racing AU fic. Alas, their fandom is GOSHDARN TINY. :( Or at least the English-speaking side of it is; I have no idea what the Chinese&Korean-speaking side of the Kangta & Vanness fandom is like. So I'd probably have to write it myself or something, except I know almost nothing about Kangta. And the extent of my knowledge of Vanness is that he was in F4 and that he seems to be panning out into singing in Japanese as well as Korean and Chinese and English (seriously, that man is kind of really amazing), and also that he'll jokingly say things like Kangta is his boyfriend in interviews and stuff. o Vanness.

sigh... and my wireless connection is still being an ass.

oh god what am I doing I don't know how to write Pete Wentz's voice. or Andy Hurley's voice. Or anyone's voice, no seriously what am I doing aaaaaaaaaaah.

a;slkdfjalksjdf help. :(

You know what I want to write? Besides the alien invasion fic which is getting ridiculously huge. I am determined to write that, though, somehow. It's just hard trying to find a starting point, because I have so much backstory for the Panic boys, and when I've tried to talk about it, it is horribly disorganized, even in my thoughts. I know what happens! just. trying to make it coherent. Possibly the point where Brent tells Spencer he can't help the others with spraypainting Ryan's words along walls any more, because it's too risky, that last person who went missing, she went to his and Brendon's school, and he can't afford to keep doing it. He's not as invested in the endeavour as, say, Ryan and Brendon are. (It is Northern Downpour + v1.0 incarnation Panic, graffiti artists with music on the side, because I find the idea enchanting.) So it would be post-invasion but pre-everything getting bad. And it'd give me opportunity to have both Brent and Jon, because Brent is the one who finds Jon as a sorry for having to be replaced. I don't know how Brent finds Jon yet though. Hrm.

Anyway, I'm getting off track. What I want to write, or have someone write for me, because my giant ideas usually just end there, is a kind of... carnival AU? Sort of. Where MCR kind of runs this crazy carnival for the Underworld, the supernatural world, the world of things that go bump in the night and is hidden from the eyes of the mundane. Magic and sharp and just the edge of chaos, and one night, Ryan stays out too late and accidentally comes upon it. He's kind of a kid at this point of the story. He doesn't understand what he's seeing, but it's amazing, and he thinks he wants to bring this magic to the day. Or something. He whispers all this to Spencer the next morning and they both sneak away that night where Gerard catches them and Ryan is a giant fanboy. Gerard is very enthused and earnest though yeah a little worried about revealing the Underworld because well. There are laws the Underworld has! Even if Gerard totally thinks the two worlds should be more open about each other. It's so sad what each world is missing being apart! And he's like, come back and talk to me in a few years if you're still interested.

Ryan totally does.

The point is, mostly I just want Gerard and Ryan doing a carnival thing together, with Gerard king of the night and Ryan the day. I still have no idea how Brent and Brendon and Jon fit in, or like. the rest of bandom (if it involves the rest of bandom), but yeah.

The first five people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble of any character (original or from an existing canon) of their choosing. In return, they have to post this in their journal.

Do people actually follow this journal? OH WELL.
