as I feel myself fall make a joke of it all

[estrella30]

I'm going to start this post off like a normal person with questions and such, but it will progressively go downhill because I just saw a picture on tumblr of zayn with his hand in liam's pocket and I had to put my head down and take a nap to deal with all the feelings I had about it

Skype can be used with video or audio. Video uses webcams & yes, it's private unless you invite other people into it (which costs $ to conference in other people), but it's basically just 2 people video chatting. Or you have the choice to use just audio only, which you can use your webcam's mic for, or just any mic you plug into your computer, like a headset or just regular USB mic or something. It essentially can be used to make "phone calls" between people via computer over the internet, so as long as it's computer to computer (no actual phone numbers being called) it's free. Hope that helps! :)

I personally do not care about correct tour dates when I'm reading fic at allllll. That said... When I'm writing, I find sometimes it's easier to go off the real schedule because then I don't have to try to think up which cities to use myself, and it sort of gives the fic a built in structure that I can work with. I just take what I want from reality and change what doesn't work for me.

that is a good point! I dont really like the THINKING part all that much :D

I'd like to add that Skype can also be used like AIM, where you just have typed chat sort of conversations with people. So someone who doesn't have a webcam (or maybe just doesn't want to video chat) could use it that way as well. And I was going to recommend that timeline! I've found it super useful before.

Zayn is getting progressively hotter and less subtle in his flirtations with people in his band. It is becoming an issue.

ooooh. that is veddy eeeeenteresting... :D

zayn is ridiculous lately. I was not prepared.

If you're going for accuracy and tour dates play into the fic I think it's worth the research. The timeline in the comm is super impressive! But let's face it, we're all in it for the bunk sex. :D?

I'm getting that image from "Mean Girls" where Rachel McAdams' character is all "YOUR HAIR LOOKS SEXY PUSHED BACK" JFC, Zayn. Is this band getting exponentially hotter? Bags over their heads, they need them!

Have you seen that video of Harry getting all the ladies' attention during X-Factor? It's GOLD. A heartbreaker at sixteen!

I WILL SUPPLY THE BAGS FOR THEM. IT WILL BE BETTER FOR MY SANITY ANYWAY.

jfc, I didnt sign on for this! I was like, oh, cute! boyband! puppies! WHERE THE FUCK DID ZAYN COME FROM.
