There is TS and N3 talk somewhere in there. Just look.

[castalie]

I wouldn't want people to think that I can only talk bandom this week... except for how those past few days, when I wasn't busy with RL, I was reading as many MCR fics as possible and then maybe watching some video clips and cruising the net for some MCR backstories - I had no idea the Paramour Mansion thing was actually canon! Audra's excellent One Night at the Paramour didn't read the same way when I realised. I was like 'oh' - and, I don't know, looking for pics. And stuff.

But you know how it is when you get into a new fandom. You need to inhale it for a little while... until you sorta absorb it in your system and then things calm down a little. The early stage, always so exciting :-)

Something else I love is finding that some of my favourite people on the flist have been into MCR for some time, even writing fics... seeing familiar faces in a new fandom of yours is always very cool. It's a bit like deciding to join a club IRL and discovering some of your friends have been members for some time. Makes things even more friendly your first days there; you don't feel alone and you know who to talk to. Awesome :-)

But. Okay. Because I can talk about something else. I finished my latest Night fic! I have an official new installment to be posted as soon as my miracle worker beta starwatcher307 does her magic with it :-) To think that I wrote around 9,000 words of that fic in a couple of days and then the last 1,500+ in a couple of months? Well, my muse, he's not called Little Shit for nothing. Still, it's done \o/

I didn't have time to watch the new Numb3rs and I never mentioned last week's episode, did I? I quite liked it - especially some scenes between the characters, like the David-Charlie scene, or the David-Colby ones. And then there was that ending which was l.o.v.e. That show has some of my favourite endings ever ♥ ♥

There, see? I can talk about something other than MikeyWay and Gerard and Frank and Ray and Bob \o/

Except for a last minute mention... did you know there was a bandom version of my beloved SPN Big Bang? Don't answer that, I know you do. Except I, Mousey Mouse, didn't. And now I'm like 'omg!' Bandom! Big! Bang! In May!

Of course, between the bandom big bang and the spn big bang, I might have to stop having a social and familial life. Oh, well, a fangirl gotta do what a fangirl gotta do, right? I'm sure my family and my friends will understand!

PS: I've uploaded 2 MCR icons, neither of which has Mikey in it. This pains me. It really does.

I finished my latest Night fic!

oh. my. god.

no, really. I'll say it again. oh. my. god.

can't wait, can't wait, can't wait.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I thought I'd never get to finish that first section. But I did! And the fic was finally complete \o/

Starwatcher and Terri will tell me whether I can post the fic or if it needs rewriting and stuff. Should be done by the end of next week or the beginning of the one after that.

Hope you'll like it, mate!

The early stage, always so exciting :-)

Very! I really must get round to reading some MCR fic, you are making me envious of what I'm missing out on *g*!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Lol Happy to tempt you, luv! I've bookmarked around 18 fics over at my del.icio.us (http://del.icio.us/Mousey/mychemicalromance) account.

My favourites are A Rare Occurrence of Angels, Scenes from a Bus, Tints of a Rainbow Hue - it has a coda now, too - A Place to Rest, One Night at the Paramour. And there's a Prison AU that I haven't bookmarked yet, I think; by Arsenic - arsenicjade - too. I love her work.

Those are my favourites, though I absolutely loved all the fics I saved there. Hope you'll enjoy them too whenever you decide to dive in ;-)

Oh man, I was so conflicted about the bandom big bang. I wanted to join so badly but had only written ficlets at sign up time, and I wasn't sure if I could manage actual full length stories *g*

Also, Night series! I feel this needs another YAY!

As does your icon.

YAY!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Well, nothing stops you from doing your very own private big bang, right? *hinthint nudgenudge* Hey, between Tints and its coda, you actually beat the 20k thing, didn't you?

Hopefully you'll keep the YAY even after reading the fic! Obviously I always hope you'll say 'it's great, no need to rewrite anything, go for it' but that's not what I expect from my beta, so I'll be waiting for your verdict *g*

And this is my other icon *points* Another great icon, for sure, but still no MikeyWay in sight.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I do, the two together come to nearly 23,000 words.

I had a plan about my fics, I have remix and the dragon challenge coming up for popslash, but all I want to do is write more Ways. I just need an idea and I think I'll be away. I may aim for my own private big bang, that will be cool.

You'll get your verdict very soon. Probably lots of !!!!! in the actual mail *g*

That is a fine icon! Any icon that has Frank pressed against a wall is good for me. Have you seen the group picture where Mikey is all curled up on the floor? It's one of my favourites.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

23,000 of goodness, they were.

I just need an idea and I think I'll be away. I may aim for my own private big bang, that will be cool.

Dude, if you ever want to run ideas with an audience, like, let's say for instance, I don't know, me? I'll be happy to help :-) I mean, obviously I don't know enough about the guys to really help in details but my love for the boys should make up for it!

You'll get your verdict very soon.

That's music to my ears ;-)

Any icon that has Frank pressed against a wall is good for me.

I have to agree with you :-)

Have you seen the group picture where Mikey is all curled up on the floor? It's one of my favourites.

*blink* Er, that would be a big 'noomgIhaven't' followed with a 'hee link me plz?'

[turps33.livejournal.com]

You know you'll be pulled in to help!

Actually, when I went to get the pic I realised it's the same one your icon is from. Which is probably why I thought of it. I'm not smart at times.

Gerard is so in charge in this picture. Like he's going to tell them to drop and strip at any time.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Ohhh that's such a nice picture. If 'nice' means 'omg so pretty and sexy!' I wouldn't mind that Mikey in an icon, actually...

Thanks *g*

[shiredancer.livejournal.com]

Ooooohhhh, Night Series -- be still, my heart! Like maaaaa, I "can't wait, can't wait, can't wait". May the betas be kind!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Enthusiastic comments like that make my heart sing! Thanks *g*

May the betas be kind!

Numb3rs: WAFFLES! I loved that last scene, too. The domestic scenes are always the most enjoyable, especially those that show how everyone's considered family.

And you've been sucked into bandom, as well? ::laughs:: It's like a black hole of awesome. You try to resist, but the slash is so obvious (and heck, I even read some het), you can't help but succumb.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

The waffle scene was SO SWEET! The N3 writers are genius at writing domestic scenes...

especially those that show how everyone's considered family.

Exactly! ♥

Yes, it's official, I've been sucked into bandom. I always watched my flist raving about it from afar, never really getting it and then bam! Bandom had taken me too. Guess bandom will go after just about everyone? lol

[velvetjinx.livejournal.com]

The beautiful thing about bandom, as was once said by a good friend of mine, is that it has something for everyone. That is why I love it.

*beams*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

It does seem like there's something for everyone, yes :-)
