*dusts off journal*
*dies of sneezing fit*
Um, wow. It's been a while. I didn't realize it's been that long since I've posted anything. I've been here off and on--mostly off until the last month or so--due to some personal issues.
Anyway, I'm back now, or trying to be, so I figured I should quit hiding and say hi. :)
So...have I ever mentioned my obsession with Adam Lambert here? I'm guessing no since there's no tag (an oversight I've now fixed, haha). Anyway, yeah. I've pretty much been gaga over him since seeing his audition on Idol last season. He blew me away then, and has been ever since.
And then along came Kris Allen. I was sort of ambivalent toward him at first...thought he was cute and had a good voice, but he was just...too nice, too normal for my tastes, so I didn't pay him much attention during Idol. At least, until the last third of the season or so, when his friendship with Adam started really shining through and making me take notice, mostly because I was pretty impressed with how comfortable with Adam he was, when given his background (not to be stereotypical, but, yeah) could have very much not been the case.
Still, as much as I shipped them from about mid-finals on, I didn't like...ship them online. I have no idea why it never once occurred to me to dip my toes into the AI8 fandom, but it just didn't. Maybe it was because as much as I liked the idea of them, and adored that Kris was so accepting of Adam, I still wasn't really into Kris himself, apart from his music, which I very much enjoy. Then a month or two back, I stumbled across a Kradam (Kris/Adam) fic somewhere, and was floored. Then promptly kicked myself for not thinking to check for fics about them sooner.
Also? I've discovered there's a lot more to Kristopher than meets the eye, like the fact that he tweets pics of himself peeing with his guitar strapped to his back, and the way he gets every gay sex joke Adam makes, and laughs his ass off at them. He's just...adorable, and surprising, and sweet, and I luff him all on his own, now.
So began my Kradam obsession. I've been wading through Kradam fanfics ever since, haha. I have seriously not been this into a fandom since I discovered the online Buffy fandom.
And then Tommy Joe Ratliff happened. (For those of you unaware, he is Adam's bassist/sometimes keyboardist, the guy he kissed on stage at the AMAs.) I first noticed him because of that kiss, I admit. Especially after Adam said Tommy was straight, but didn't have a problem with the guy on guy stuff in the name of artistic expression. I was intrigued greatly by that and set out to find out more about him. And the more I got to know about him, the more I discovered I really like him for him, too. Pretty much, I think Adam surrounds himself with some pretty awesome people. It doesn't hurt that Tommy is seriously pretty, IMO. Seriously, especially when he wears makeup and glitter. But even when he's not. Luffs him too.
So yeah, I've officially got a new fandom. I dabbled in several before this, but while I enjoy the shows, the fandoms didn't really grab me (with the possible exception of Jensen/Jeff, thanks to thatotherperv, but there is hardly any of it out there, so.) I tried on Spn, Torchwood, White Collar, and Leverage just to name a few. None of them felt right, though. But this whole AI8 thing--or probably more accurately, Adam Lambert thing--caught hold of me and isn't letting me go. I haven't written anything in the fandom yet, but I do have a couple of bunnies so I wouldn't rule it out for the future. We'll just have to wait and see.
For my Buffy!verse flisters, though, no worries. I'm still just as obsessed with Spike as I have been and have no plans on leaving him or the Buffy!verse behind. He's just going to have to share me with Adam, now.
As for Spike, it's been way, way too long since I posted a fic, and I really miss the interaction of it with you guys. Like. REALLY. So much so I'm considering breaking my 'no posting WIP until I'm done with at least the rough draft' rule. I've got this one fic in particular (a Spangel High School HAU) that I'm over 50 chapters into (I've mentioned it before, in reference to being seriously blocked on it. My block's completely broken now, though, and I've been writing on it pretty regularly again), so I think it'd be a pretty safe bet that I could finish before I caught up to myself, even if I post 2-3 times a week.
I do have two other one offs that are done and have been for a while. One of them is Spander, the other Spangel. The problem is, they are angsty as hell, as in, do not end happily ever after. And yeah, that wouldn't be the first time I've posted something like that, but. It's been so long since I've posted anything that I'm just not sure I want my first fic post after all this time to be something that ends less than happily, you know? *sigh* I'm probably just over thinking it. The Spangel one was supposed to be the first of a series of one-offs worked around canon called the Secrets!verse, but I think I've lost my muse on that, so it'll have to stand on it's own if I ever do decide to post it. And it can. Just as long as the person reading it realizes that it's not going to end in hearts and flowers.
Haha. Wow. This totally ended up way longer than I intended. I almost didn't even start, actually, figuring I didn't have much to say and it would probably end up being a lame post with me just waving at all of you or something. So.
*waves*
How are you guys? :)
