Day two of the WIP Amnesty Festival of Fun! This was going to be a series of five vignettes about Shannon Stumph, told in second person Pete POV (no, no, it's awesome and I'm good at it). Title from the album booklet for Matthew Good Band's Beautiful Midnight.

1. Ahahaha, awesome STXI vid to a Journey song. It's labelled Kirk & Spock, but it's totally all the slashiest bits of the movie (I want to complain here about how a character having a girlfriend doesn't preclude the epic, transdimensional MFEOness, but I think I should just write the K/U/S fic instead. If I could write at all, bleh). Also, if I'd ( Read more... )

Two links: " once escorted," a different take on why equal marriage is a feminist issue; Australia is attempting to harmonize their accessible parking, with probable shitty results for people with disabilities.

A self-recrimination: WHY OH WHY DID I NEVER MAKE THE "MY FANDOM IS ITS OWN BNF" ICON. Gawd. If I did it now, it'd just be stupid ( Read more... )

1. Nobody would die if I pretended "Pavlov(e)" made FAD and "She's My Winona" didn't, right?

2. A drabble-length bit of this Shannon story that's getting cut. It was in the first burst of stuff I wrote last week, and it just doesn't fit canon or the timeline of the story or anything. But it's good. So. I am a snippet-posting machine.

( you wouldn't know a good thing. )

Okay, I never do this kind of thing, but I'm really worried I'm going in completely the wrong direction with my genderbenderfic promptathing story. So, yeah, does anybody want to take a look at what I've got? It's pre-TTTYG, always-was-a-girl!Patrick, kind of angsty? With stupid high school bi-curious shenanigans and Pete trying to convince Shannon she should be ( Read more... )

Concert report forthcoming (this afternoon!). I love all Hey Mondays, some All Time Lows, and even Fall Out Boys wearing bad wigs and ugly suits, and I missed Cobras with all of my heart :(((

I just wanted to share that I've started my genderbenderfic promptathing story (which is only due in two-ish weeks, what?). It's a kinder, gentler, more fanon-friendly AU ( Read more... )

Uh. An unfinished fic. 'Cause I'm letting things go right now.

( shannon stumph runs things. 5500 words. )

So, you know, in case this thing never actually gets finished, some more random Shannon Stumph AU. Also, in honour of me not signing up for any of the challenges that just closed. Because I have a bit of a problem signing up for things. I'm a joiner, what can I say ( Read more... )

I don't think I've ever been at a point in a story where I had to be like (not literally, but figuratively), "Okay, so Patrick-is-a-girl (aka Shannon) meets Anna, because hello Anna was at least awesome by association, and are they BFF or fucking or both or does Anna come on to Shannon and then awkward rejection followed by BFF or vice versa or wtf ( Read more... )

It's really weird, writing Shannon-verse. 'Cause I'm all about making sure the environment is accurate (venues, schools, children's museums), but I seem to have no problem ignoring actual scene history (bands before FOB, other musicians/bands, song titles ( Read more... )
