who's with me?

[skoosiepants]

It's almost posting time at reel_band and I am SO EXCITED to see what everyone's written! I'm not quite done my first prompt. I'm at about the 50 page mark. Yeah, I don't know what's been making me write these crazy long fics, but whatever.

I'm still waffling about Bob/Patrick or Spencer/Jon on the One Crazy Summer AU front. Any preference? On the one hand, I could have Bob, Frank and Ray go to the island for the summer, where they meet up with Ray's friends, the Way brothers, and Patrick's only got the clothes on his back and his guitar. On the other hand, I could have Spencer, Ryan and Brendon go to the island, where Ryan's friend Pete and his beffie Patrick are the wacky duo - Patrick stuck in a godzilla costume! It's all Pete's fault! - and Jon's the traveling musician trying to raise money to save his grandfather's house!

Hehe! First vote!

It was hard because I lovelovelove Brendon/Spencer, and the Panic! boys but. I really, really like the way (hahahaha *insertbadpun*) you write Gerard. Really, really. And I know, because you love me, that there'd bed a bit of Gee/Frank. Right? *puppy dog eyes*

Er, I actually need to go, like, wikipedia One Crazy Summer because uh. I am a ninties kid and fail at 80's movies. Except like, the ones like Princess Bride and Risky Business. Was Young Frankenstien 80's? I know Space Balls was. I think. Crap, I need to look that up.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

It'll be my first time tackling my chem as main characters, though. I'm so nervous! What if I mess them up? I can't decide!!

You totally need to see One Crazy Summer. Bobcat Goldwaith in all his incomprehensible glory!! It's awesome :)

[twilight-la-fae.livejournal.com]

I have faith in you! You made Frank eat chocolate chips out of the pancakes that Gerard was making- which, by the way, is an image I always call to mind when feeling particularly shitty, because it makes my heart go, 'awwwwwwwwwwwwww, boys <33333'- I have total and complete trust that they'll be perfect. Bob was perfect in the alternate ending! He's like, the hardest person to get a feel for, anyway, cause he's so quiet.

I suppose I do. Though, after reading your fic, I think it'll be ruined for me forever. I'll always be like, 'But you know, this movie would be so much better with Bob and Patrick.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

But then how should I play Patrick against Bob? The dynamic will be the hard part, because I love them together, but it has to be the correct sort of Patrick to mesh with Bob. Like maybe he has to be kind of a smartass. I don't know!!!!!

[twilight-la-fae.livejournal.com]

I think he has to be at least that sneaky, quiet sort of smart ass, at the very least, to deal with Pete all the time. Ugh, you're right, it is kind of hard to mesh them.

Oh, well. Even if you don't use them, the Brendon/Spencer one will be, to borrow a term, awesomesauce. *g*

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I think it'll have to be Spencer/Jon if I go the panic! route. Like Jon's the wandering musician looking for ways to make money. It's so tough to decide! I think Panic! is winning in the poll though.

[twilight-la-fae.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I know about the poll thing- I tried to get my friends to vote but they just sort went, Uhuh, M, kay, sure thing, and didn't. *g*

Ugh, Spencer/Jon, I knew I should have checked that before commenting back. I was undecided on which one it was, and just went with the one you most frequently write. Anyway- still awesomesauce.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I've started it with Spencer and Jon :) Maybe if I get it done quick enough I'll try a version with Bob and Patrick, too *G*

[twilight-la-fae.livejournal.com]

*grins* Awesome!

Dude! Did you see that video, of Panic performing Time To Dance, at like, Virgin Fest, where Brendon spots a beach ball on stage and like, stops in the middle of the song to say, 'Oh my god, beach ball!' and grabs it? If you haven't you should, because its so cute.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I saw that! It was so adorable!

[civilbloodshed.livejournal.com]

You know how I feel about Bob/Patrick, but Patrick in ridiculous costumes is TOTALLY CANON. It needs to be incorporated into more fic.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

See? Patrick in the costume practically makes it!! I don't know what to do!!!

[lovinspike247.livejournal.com]

Bob/Patrick, because there's not enough of that pairing and that makes me sad.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

There really isn't, you're so right. I'm just nervous about writing my chem as main characters. *bites nails*

[natacup82.livejournal.com]

On the one hand there is seriously not enough Bob fic out there. But Spencer/Jon! I love them so much, and Patrick in a Godzilla suit. There is nothing not awesome about this.

Also OMG Saturday it starts, I am so damn excited to see all the fic start coming in! I just need to actually put in the author tags and send an email reminder and then sit back and giggle happily :D

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

It's so hard to choose! Bob! But Patrick in the suit! Can you just imagine Pete talking him into trying it on, and then the zipper gets stuck and it would just be SO HILARIOUS!!

I'm trying desperately to get my first one done in time to post right away, but I'm going to have to find someone to do a super quick beta or something, because I still have a few more scenes to write!

[natacup82.livejournal.com]

Maybe Bob can have a cameo or something? Showing off his Bob-y awesomeness? Because I need Patrick suffering in that suit, IT IS AWESOME!

I love that alot of these fics are going to be insanely long, oh that poor damn printer at work, these fics are going to kill it dead.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I think I'm just rambling on and on pointlessly in my my JOOTG au. It's getting sort of ridiculous. I think I just like having Ashlee make fun of Ryan for looking like a *scrambles for latest insult on page* starving cockney pickpocket.

[natacup82.livejournal.com]

starving cockney pickpocket

That is what I will now call little Ryan Ross forever and ever. Or at least until someone burns that damn hat.

[seratonation.livejournal.com]

OK, so I don't actually know the One Crazy Summer movie, so I can't decide what would be better, My Chem in a Yachet Race or Patrick in a Godzilla Suit... I want to see more Way brothers, but I don't know this Bob person... and William hitting on Ryan!

*sigh* this has been the hardest decision of my day... :P

[civilbloodshed.livejournal.com]

but I don't know this Bob person...

Haha! That's totally hilarious! It's like you don't even know Bob! But who's not on fire for Bob Bryar? (http://kalpurna.livejournal.com/55348.html)

[seratonation.livejournal.com]

Oooh! That's Bob! see I know the face, but not the name, it's not really my fandom, but it's skoos, so, and now I really want to lick Bob...

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

BOB IS SO AWESOME HE MAKES ME SWOON!!! BOB! OH HOW I HEART YOU AND WANT TO HAVE YOUR LITTLE BOB BABIES!!

[absitively.livejournal.com]

Confession time: I haven't watched either movie. But there was Bob, and well. After "Anywhere You Let It Go" I really want Bob!fic from you.

But I think it's losing right how. :(

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Well, there's really no loss with not having seen Just One Of the Guys because it's a really terrible movie. There's really no redeeming qualities to it at all, despite having a very young whatshisname from Parker Lewis Can't Lose in it. The best friend, not Parker Lewis, aka Jonas Quinn, the smartest alien alive.

But! One Crazy Summer! Absolute CLASSIC! A must see, if only for Bobcat Goldwaith stuck in the godzilla costume, stomping on a miniature scale town.

The choices are nearly neck-and-neck now. I don't know what to write!!

[absitively.livejournal.com]

/is no help at all

I will check out One Crazy Summer. I mean, godzilla suits? Sign me up.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I kind of do want to write both, because there's certain elements to each that would be prefect, but alas, I must choose. This is so hard!

[neurotica-hello.livejournal.com]

i wanted to vote for both but the idea of a gerard falling off a yacht and perchance frank having to dive in to save him and ending it in a horribly botched resuce attempt where like, ray has to pull them out and his hair gets caught in the motor or something, that made me feel so bad.

D:

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Yes! GERARD FALLS OFF THE BOAT! *laughs* Oh, dude, they would have NO idea what to do on a yacht, I don't know if I can make that even remotely plausible, hee!

[besquared.livejournal.com]

BOB BOB BOB BOB BOB MORE BOB PLZ!


um. you should write what you want. yup. no bias here.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

So you're saying... Bob? *laughs*

[mazily.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, I haven't even started mine yet. What with the not having a copy of Little Darlings anymore and it not being available on DVD and all. D'oh.

In conclusion: BOB.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I vote that you just make it all up! That's practically what I'm doing with this first prompt. I remember the movie, but it was so bad :)

Bob! I want to write Bob, but I don't know if I can do all the MCR boys justice!

[bexless.livejournal.com]

I can't say no to a MCY yacht race. Come on, now.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

They would totally have no idea what they were doing. Except maybe Ray. And Gerard could paint the boat!!!

[rain-dances.livejournal.com]

I had to go with the second one. Because SPENCER/JON! And, I love how you write Spencer SO MUCH..

Patrick trapped in the suit is also incentive, and William hitting on Ryan is always hilarious...so yeah, just pretty much FTW all around.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Patrick in the godzilla suit is so right isn't it? Still, I'm not sure!

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

PLEASE write Jon/Spencer. I'll beg if I have to, true story.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

*laughs* It looks like that ones winning, but I still can't decide! It would probably be easier for me to write Spencer and Jon though *nods*
