recs: american idol is awesome, your argument is invalidSo, many of you know that I've been watching American Idol for several years now. I watched the first season kind of randomly... I was in college at the time so it was more like I caught some episodes and I watched Kelly win. I saw enough to wonder where the Guy Who Isn't Seacrest was when I ( Read more... )

YOU ARE SO AWESOME. Thank you for the rec, first of all, and I have read a lot of these but I completely agree with your recs for wearemany's stuff (well duh) and...all the other ones, really. The weird thing is that this fandom has some honest-to-god good fic in it, and then there's a lot of shitty stuff, but the good stuff is REALLY GOOD. I'm excited about the ones I haven't read! YAY. I sort of want to read some now but I have to get up in the morning, boo.

FYI, your fic should go at the TOP of the list, because it's amazing, and totally one of my favorites.

And this is so confidential information, but since I have been writing angsty ridiculous AI fic, I have decided to write what basically amounts to a Hogwarts!AU where Adam is sekritly magical (even to himself! He doesn't KNOW he is a powerful wizard until Randy Jackson shows up to tell him so) and has a tiny messenger unicorn named Sparkle Motion. YEAH, YOU READ THAT RIGHT.

You're very welcome! And yes, totally. The good fic in this fandom is REALLY good. And I didn't even mention disarm_d's fic... which I don't know WHY... I think because I wasn't tagging things yet when I read hers as those were basically the first AI8 fics I read. Need to go back and do that. Because yes.

That is the best thing I have ever heard omg! I'm rereading Half Blood Prince right now and... yes. That is so perfect. Sparkle Motion! I've loved that since I saw Donnie Darko like, what? 8 years ago. Jeez, I feel old now!

Hi! I've decided I'm friending you because you were way awesome when I was in the Supernatural fandom and you are way awesome now! I don't expect you to remember me but your J2 Big Bang was one of my favorite stories in the fandom.

I am pretty heavily into bandom so you may find me gushing about Brendon Urie and Pete Wentz from time to time, but the fabulousness that is Adam Lambert has swept me off my feet! Feel free to browse my journal if you want. (I always feel pretty awkward just popping in like this, but I've been meaning to friend you for a while!)

Hi! It's cool, I like when people introduce themselves! I have lots of people on my flist who tend to gush about bandom, so no worries, I'm used to it :P

May I suggest the following, for your reading pleasure?

Not Like That by Astolat
Just One Sheep by abusing sacrasm

along with All the More For That, Pop Goes the World and Did I Find You... those are my favorite fics in this fandom, so far.

OH, I have totally read those!! And loved them. I thought I had them tagged but apparently not. HMMM. My tagging habits REALLY need improvement :P
