I know, I was waiting for this. I was like, no way can they both be in the same city for that long without getting together. Now I'm just waiting for the paps to catch them making out, LOL. Actually, I'd love to see Eric and Orlando in the park together with Flynn or something domestic like that. I can dream, right?
I'm so sad all the Banabloom fanfic died. There were some really excellent stories. I go back through the Banabloom lj board and half the stories are gone because the users are gone. Stewardess took down her epic Hoot/Todd fic because she was going to publish it, but that never happened.
The fanfic I'm working on is based on a series of m/m romance books written by a former LOTR RPS author. Do you remember The Archer and Gravedigger's Brawl by legomyarrow? They are published now under the name Abigail Roux. The Cut and Run books weren't written as RPS, but the author(s) did imagine Eric Bana and Karl Urban as the main characters, Zane Garrett and Ty Grady. My story, posted on my journal, is about the Zane character and his wife, who is deceased when the books take place.
Glad I'm not the only one still on the Bana/Bloom train. :) Maybe I should post that pic to the Banabloom livejournal with a caption/fic contest?

>>>I know! I was super pleased to hear that Eric named Orli as his favorite actor to work with (ages ago, but I'm sure it still applies!) I secretly hope they just quietly retire from the limelight and have that close intimate friendship that guys can have when they are secretly in love with each other :3 and making out??i would settle for one of those hugs of old where they were melded from shoulder to knee with Eric's big strong arms around Orli in a true embrace...no 'bro' hugs for them!!

>>>I'm sure you have read "Married" by Shrinetolust, yes? And yeah, I remember when Stewardess took those stories down...I also remember there was some unhappiness about someone plagiarizing her characters from the Hoot/Todd universe she created, which completely sucks. I may have saved a copy of that :) but I'd have to look.

>>>I actually have not read neither of those, I think I need to, but I hope I still have a copy of The Archer... A fanfic writer turning pro is always inspiring to me. I write too but I have the usual complaints about blocks, etc, but with the added disadvantage of being a major slacker. I think I need to read some more of your fic!!

>>> I'm all for it! I really need to weed my flist of stuff I'm no longer into. Right now it's a bit congested. In truth Stewardess and Shrinetolust ingrained BanaBloom super deep in my heart. BanaBloom is in my 'always love' pile! Same with Boro/Fara and Aragorn/Legolas
It's so nice to meet you! I would love to read some more of your stuff... Suggestions?
I think they get together more than they get caught by paps. There are photos of them shopping for motorcycles a few years back, and there are some of them in a parking lot and driving in LA back when Eric was filming Star Trek (his head was still shaved, anyway). The stupid pap didn't even know who Eric was evidently, since it just said Orlando and friend.
No one would have known about this most recent time if that fan hadn't asked for pics and posted it on instagram. No paps caught them. Eric almost never gets bothered and Orlando manages to give them the slip quite often.
I love that Eric mentions Orlando when people ask him about actor friends. The most recent one I remember is when he was doing promotion for Romulus, My Father. The interviewer asked him who was the nicest person he ever worked with and he said Orlando. The video of that is up on youtube.
Yeah, I read Married; shrinetolust was one of my favorite authors. Is that still available to read again? I wish I'd saved all these fics when I read them. I'm dying to read The Way You Say series by heartofslash again, but most of those are taken down. Right now I'm trying to find those two by legomyarrow so I can compare them to the published versions.
I think Bana/Bloom is my OTP because it's true! The way they were hanging on each other at Cannes was pure love. They may not be sexin, but they do love each other. Plus they look good together, their characters play well together, what's not to like?
The WIP story I have up on LJ is only my second fic and the first is lost on yahoo groups somewhere. It was an Orli/Atti and it wasn't great. I was told I needed to do more showing, less telling. I don't know if I kept a copy of it anywhere.
I want to finish and polish up the one I'm working on before I start another one. I do have ideas in my head for some Bana/Bloom, some more Zane Garrett/somebody, and some original fics. Also, I'm hoping to do NaNoWriMo this year, so there may be more fic from me in the next couple months.
I can link you to some pretty good Zane/Ty fanfic on tumblr if you'd like. You can just imagine Eric/Karl in their place, if you like Karl.
It's nice to meet you, too. LJ has been a ghost town lately, especially the lotrips fandom.
Eric was on the Conan a couple nights ago, on the Today show this morning, and there is a short video of him on MSNBC. There are also some nice pap shots of him on Just Jared.
