No, seriously - why don't I have a Gabe/William icon again?

[sansets]

Continuing on in my series of "Things that solar_cat ought to read", I have decided to bump Gabe/William up next in the queue. Not because I love the other pairings less (well, let's be honest. I probably DO love Pete/Patrick a little less, but ONLY because I ship Pete/Patrick/Ashlee SO VERY HARD) but because

Sometimes I kinda like reading your bandom reccs because I have absolutely no idea who these people are, so it's almost like reading original fic or something. *wanders off licking frosting off fingers*

[sansets]

They are really good for that! ♥ (And seriously, there are a few authors whose characterization causes me to do that too sometimes. SHHHHH - DON'T TELL! :-D)

*wanders off to actually ice the rest of the cupcakes, now that I've nommed 2 of them*

I think that's true for everybody, really, in all fandoms, 'cos the point is that we're writing them the way WE see them, which is not necessarily at all congruent to the way anybody else sees them. And sometimes that's awesome and revelatory. And sometimes it's just o_O-making. *g*

[sansets]

*laughs* No, no - this is SO freaking true! It is just ... OK, so bandom is one of the few fandoms that I've read in where I am actually willing to pretend that it is original fiction, I guess? Like, because these are real people, and because you can't ever REALLY know anyone (especially not from the bs that they spout out) I am willing to accept and enjoy a much larger range of characterizations if it is well written. Whereas with most (I won't say all, because there is pretty much ALWAYS that one exception) FPF, the English major in me just gets stompy and wants to say "NO! UR INTERPRETING IT WROOOOOOOOOOOOONG. >:(" Which, you know, REALLY not the point of fic, but try telling the English major part of my brain that! *g*

I blame airgiodslv for the amount of love I have for Gabe/William. (Do I flail a bit every time she posts any new fic at all? Yes, yes I do. But ESPECIALLY if it's Gabe/William. I'm dying inside waiting for the telepath au prequel.) I absolutely adore them and do not at all approve of how few people write it. So I'm going to read ALL OF THESE. Even the ones I've already read.

[sansets]

I blame her TOO! I just ... them and Alex/Ryan are my favorite pairings that almost NO ONE is writing and I'd REALLY like to know who I can appeal to to change that! This recs list made me feel ESPECIALLY sad about the flocking that's been going on, because adellyna had some GREAT stories, but I refuse to rec flocked things on principle. /0\

(OMG - I can NOT wait for the telegraph prequel! *flails and flails* Every time she posts a little snippet of it, I get all gleeful inside. THEY ARE JUST SO RIGHT FOR EACH OTHER, NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES! ♥)

YOU CONTINUE TO BE MY FAVORITE!!! (Until like, someone else does something awesome. My favorite changes a lot. >.>;;; ) BUT STILL!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!! \0/ \0/ \0/

Oh, man, seriously, you have no idea how much I love you. Once I see you again and figure out that you're you, you are like, getting tackle-hugged. Srsly. <33333333

(Also, I must actually get around to getting bandom icons for all my ships. Until then, it's just gonna be Spencer and Bden. ...Which I am perfectly okay with. XDDD )

Just because I admit to loving william/gabe, doesn't mean I grew a soul.

Souls are for other people.

Stop trying to LABEL me, damnit.

(...ALSO, REMIND ME NOT TO GOOGLE WILLIAM/GABE AGAIN. HOLY SHIT, THE BADFIC IS BAD)

I am just coming by to mention that William Beckett has officially BROKEN MY BRAIN. Too hot. I don't even really know him, but I've spent the last week or so being regularly reduced to flappy hand gestures of lust. HOW IS ANYONE SO BEAUTIFUL ACTUALLY FROM THIS EARTH. IDEK.

*flappy hands*

[sansets]

SOME DAYS I THINK HE MIGHT BE AN ALIEN, JUST BECAUSE OF THE BENDINESS. I LOVE HIM SO VERY MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH!!

*flaps hands with you*
