So it may seem like I'm adding characters for the sake of adding characters

[skoosiepants]

But I'm totally not. World building is fun! So maybe you'll have to know Fall Out Boy, The Academy Is..., Gym Class Heroes, Cobra Starship, All-American Rejects, My Chemical Romance, maybe others that I can't recall at the moment, as well as Panic! for this.

Also, I never really write in multiple POVs anymore, but I'm making an exception for this. Section-wise, at least.

And right now I'm avoiding writing Spencer and his big gay epiphany - you can't have an SGA fic without one. There's always that moment when Sheppard becomes John and, well, Urie becomes Brendon. Or whatever. I've got William explaining to Ryan about lobsters and crabs and love with his pet geode, Zippy, as illustration, so.

“Yeah, man, yeah, exactly. You’ve got some weird dynamics going on there,” William says, nodding, and as he’s ushering Ryan out of his labs – because he’s got “shit to do besides schooling eager young men in the mysterious ways of the heart” - he adds, “Oh, and tell Jon to come see me when he’s not busy being on the gayest team in the galaxy,” which is kind of laughable coming from William, except William isn’t on a ‘gate team, so point.

I am so, so excited for this. I am BOUNCING IN MY SEAT, because you just added most of the bands on Fueled By Ramen, and I think my brain might explode from the SGA/FBR goodness.

I just hope I can do everybody justice!!

This is completely unrelated to your post, but I just wanted to tell you that I spent my lunch break reading your story in the Surfacing zine and I absolutely adored it. I was giggling and grinning and getting very odd looks in Subway, but it was totally worth it. Great story.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you so much, hon! That makes me so happy *grins* I was a little worried about that one, since print is kind of intimidating!

Good God, woman! Are you trying to make my heart burst from A) sheer anticipation, or B) sheer numbers? I am overcome with teh happies because Spencer will shortly be having a gay revelation and William knows all about lobsters (of course he does, why wouldn't he?) and Brendon and Ernie are cuddle buddies. I think I may have to marry that brain of yours. Please, please donate it to science when you've had your fill of it, okay?

At this point, I'm sort of hoping it doesn't end up as a disaster, because I keep adding so much!! But Atlantis is such a fun playground!

And maybe, maybe, when it's finally finished you might consider beta'ing it for me? I mean, I can totally understand if you don't want to, because it may end up needing lots of work and you're probably busy with other fun stuff, but that would be super cool if you could.

[castoffstarter.livejournal.com]

Dude, of course I'll beta it for you. I was hoping you'd let me get my hands on it! I am itching to read it and praying that I can keep up with all the fun shenanigans. I know you'll do it justice if only because you have a cast of characters that were made for each other. It helps that you write extremely well and have a wicked sense of humor. But those are just the minor details.

You know where to find me!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Eee! I finished and sent it to you, so hopefully I can work out all the kinks when you're done with it :)

[absitively.livejournal.com]

That is awesome. I mean it's just like a smasgamord of pretty, gay boys! (It also helps that I actually know most of those bands.) EEK! anticipation!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

*beams* It will be random fun with a core of Panic! *nods* I'm finished, so now it's in castoffstarter's capable hands!

[gweneiriol.livejournal.com]

please, please PLEASE have some William/Travis and my world will be complete. :P

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I have found that I can't write Travis - yet. He's in it briefly but has no lines :(

[d-copper.livejournal.com]

EEEKKKK BANDOM IS THE BEST THING EVER. NO WAIT, YOU ARE FOR WRITING IT.

WILLIAM, GABE, TRAVIE, FRANK, NICK WHEELER. *blisses out*

(But seriously, FBR + its posse is so incestuously high school like. It makes me nostalgic.)

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

YAY! There's lots of random fun going on, but a lot of it is just background stuff to flesh the place out *nods* Except I attempt Patrick POV, so woohoo!

[d-copper.livejournal.com]

Is Patrick in your head fun? Does he sing to you in your sleep?

All the interviews I have seen of him show him to be so sweet (and freaking rambly). I want a Patrick in my head now.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... in the two parts he was in my head for, he was angry and then sleepy and hungry, so. *g* Patrick is so adorable.

[d-copper.livejournal.com]

*wibbles at the cute* Why does he sound so cute, even when he is just a POV? I think FOB has the same special something as JWalk. Made of awesome.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Definitely made of awesome *nods*

[d-copper.livejournal.com]

FOB as wedding singers! adkgnhlm This bunny just attacked my brain. *tries to pass it on to skoosie* Your getting married! Take it!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Oh. oh. Has that been done before? Why hasn't that been done before?????!

[d-copper.livejournal.com]

I fear to say this, but it is true, no one has written FOB as wedding singers yet. This is a tragedy that needs to be remedied immediately. I think I know the perfect person to do it (Ernie can be the mascot!). *nudges you hard*

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I"m ready to fully take on FOB characterizations yet. But that is an awesome idea I must ponder *nods*

[wordsindreams.livejournal.com]

*KABLAM-O*

you: "What was that sound?"
me: "That was the sound of my brain exploding."

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing that's a bad thing?
