Dude! I'm always happy to throw a primer out there, especially if it proves to be helpful. Thanks for taking the time to look at it; it's a little slapdash, but I'm hoping to flesh it out.

AWWW hi the Used! Hi Brian!

[sinsense]

They totally say hi back! They're in your mom's closet, trying on her clothes! Brian is shaking his head in consternation! Ahaha.

[zillahseye]

As if Brian is weak-nerved enough to be thrown off by men in closets.

[sinsense]

Indeed no, that was not my intention at all! He's more upset that they'll get your mother's nice clothes all dirty. Don't make him come in there, guys. He already has enough skirts!

You are made of awesome and win!

I try, gnar gnar. Was there anything else you wanted to know? I have google-fu.

Thank you so much for this. It's definitely going to make writing the next section a lot easier.

Anything to ease Bob/Brian porn. Oh my god, how much I mean that kind of scares me. :D

I love all of this, and especially the fact that you included a section on Brian (*Every* primer should include Brian. MOZART primers should include Brian.) I appreciate how much you appreciate The Used, because it makes me like them a lot too and fandom is more fun when I like things.

"Why is Bob putting his penis in Frank's mouth? THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GERARD'S PENIS, FRANK."

Heeee I'm glad this doesn't just happen to me. Whenever I am writing something with another pairing I have to be careful not to think, "but Frank and Bob could be having sex in THIS story!" or I'll derail the whole thing.

So true that Brian should be in every primer. Linguistic primer... and Brian! Curling primer... and Brian! Just a picture of him at the end of every one.

and fandom is more fun when I like things
See, that was why I got into them in the first place. I kind of had this wonky feeling that Bert had to be more interesting than what I got from fandom, and I wanted to like him more than I did. And bam! Instant ridiculousness: just add fangirl. Or whatever. :D

Oh, dude, I'm so glad you responded to that, I was wondering if I was the only one. [laughs] Right now it's totally Bob/Frank for me. I have this epic Gerard/Frank, and when I write Frank and Bob together in it, I really, really have to work on making them not flirt. It is to weep.
