not dead yet

Wow, it's only been like two, three years since I've updated. Not bad. Just sort of did a house-cleaning thing where I removed all my terrible, embarrassing emo/teenaged posts. Holy crap, but I was a typical freshman/sophomore in college. I left some of the posts that amuse me (hahahah, I had RATS in my house, and once my cat wasn't 15 lb overweight, crazy) and also some old abandoned fic. Possibly a poor decision. Ah well.

But you see, my intent in opening this journal (dun dun DUN dun dun) is to start posting about my newest obsession. Which is bandslash. Specifically: Frank/Gerard in all it's permutations. As is obvious if anyone were to look at my del.icio.us. I also plan to use this as a new and improved way of complaining about grad school and being broke and all the sad, boring petty details of my life, ugh.

So, goal for the next few days: join bandom communities, stealthily friend my favorite authors if possible, plan what outfit to wear to the MCR MSG show (SHUT UP I PLAN AHEAD), find a beta for my epic Frank/Gerard ghost story fic. Epic, I tell you.

Ghostverse ficlets, Frank POV

So... here's some background so that these ficlets make any kind of sense. Basically the Ways move out to this crazy tiny town in New Hampshire, and Gerard, surprisingly, does not fit in at the local high school! OH NOES. But then while he's sort of stomping around grumbling to himself in the woods by the school he meets Frank. Who for some reason doesn't want to leave the woods during the day and only comes out at night and has strangely cold skin, but Gerard's just happy to find someone not wearing plaid and listening to country (and who also is gorgeous OMG WHAT IF HE'S STRAIGHT GUYS) so he's willing to let it slide. 

And that's sort of as far as I've gotten, but chapter two is underway and I will eventually drag the rest of the band in. But, uh, in conclusion: Frank is a ghost and Gerard is his BFF, yay!

The main fic is supposed to be all Gerard's POV but Frank keeps popping up and being all, I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. So I thought I'd post these fics, and then hopefully lure in some betas. </cunning plan>

( Gerard Discovers the Truth and Frank Discovers that Gerard's More of a Giant Freak Than Previously Suspected )

( Bob is Most Displeased and Gerard Stares at Frank for Science, Okay? OKAY. )

 

If there are questions/concerns about the exact nature of Frank's crazy supernatural ghost!body, have no fear. Eventually Gerard will bug and poke and prod Frank to his heart's content and Frank will glumly tolerate it, thinking morosely that all the groping is accidental. 

(Okay, okay, so I'm making up new ghost mythology to suit my own porny purposes. I REGRET NOTHING.)  

 

grad school, ugh

163 pages of functional morphology to read before leading a discussion group tomorrow afternoon = DO NOT WANT.

Must make more coffee and stare at Gerard's face for emotional support.
