On the subject of frontal attacks

[livejournal.com profile] starflowers has been cheering me on, and I've got about 24000 words of NINJA fic now. And around two and a half months left to write, which will include (but will not be limited to!) prom, band-o-rama, spring break, Bill the-ultimate-cool-dude freaking out, Pete and Patrick finally doing something about Pete and Patrick, NINJA unveilings, and Kevin being stupid about Carden. I can't believe I've written so much about ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. This is the ultimate in pointless self-indulgence.

TEASE:

“I think I’m going to ask Audrey to prom,” Brendon says. They’d just finished practicing Hey Sunshine, and Brendon pushes sweaty hair off his forehead.

Kevin presses his lips together and carefully doesn’t look at Miranda. He can see her making faces out of the corner of his eye.

Bill huffs out a breath, unfolds himself from where he’s been perched on Kevin’s amp, and grabs hold of Brendon’s arms. “Listen to me,” he says firmly, bending down so their noses touch. “Girls completely frighten you. Girls are pretty and soft, so this baffles me about you, but you’re utterly and totally uncomfortable around any girl except for Miranda. You are gay.” Bill shakes him a little, and Brendon’s eyes go wide. “You are incredibly, hugely gay, and you’re in love with Spencer, just go with it, Urie.”

“I’m.” Brendon open and closes his mouth, then says, “What?”

“Gay.”

Brendon shakes his head. “No, I’m—”

“Gay,” Bill insists. “Not even bi, my friend. You are so, so gay, and if you ask Audrey to prom I will slap you.”

“I just—”

“Slap! I’ll take my open palm to the baby-soft skin of your face, Urie, carefully heed my warnings.”

Brendon pouts.

Miranda snorts a laugh into her hand, and Kevin still refuses to look at her. He can feel Patrick glaring at them all from behind his kit.

“Well, I’m not going to ask Spencer,” Brendon says petulantly.

“Spencer’s going to ask you,” Bill says, and Kevin doesn’t know whether he has insider information or if he’s going to make Spencer ask Brendon – he doesn’t think it matters. “And when Spencer asks you, you are going to say yes.”

“You know how much I love talking about the prom,” Patrick says, tipping the brim of his hat back with one of his sticks. “But if you guys want to see The Upstanding tonight with all your limbs intact, you might want to shut the fuck up.”

Bill says mildly, “You seem to be getting angrier lately, Patrick. I think you need to get laid.”

“I will end you,” Patrick says through his teeth.

“Patrick,” Bill says, “sweetheart—”

Kevin lunges forward and claps a hand over Bill’s mouth. There’s Patrick-baiting, and then there’s having a death wish. “Let’s just, uh, finish practice, okay guys?”

Brendon says, “Yes, please.”

Bill’s eyes are dancing at Kevin over his palm. When Kevin lets him go, he says, “I know what I’m doing, Jonas,” grinning, and Kevin says, “I’m sure you do.”

Bill’s probably the only one of any of them that actually does.

I don't even care that this is supposedly about nothing, I think it sounds fantastic and the excerpts so far have done nothing to dissuade that idea. :D

Ohmigod, ohmigod, this is going to be EPIC. I allllwaaaayyyys love your Bill. I kind of can't wait for this.

My life--my very soul--needs this fic like a man lost in a desert needs water.

[identity profile] phillyfilly.livejournal.com 2009-07-31 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, more of this please.

You, are an evil person! I used to hate the Jonas brothers, but because of you and your awesomesness, and kevin/mike, they are my guilty pleasure!!


[identity profile] beachan18.livejournal.com 2009-07-31 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
eeeeehh! It sounds so awesome, I've been looking forward to reading it ever since you mentioned it! <333

I hope you post it soon!

Self indulgence can be a good thing sometimes helps you chill and do something for yourself.
I know you're not finished NINJA yet but from the teasers (the wonderful teasey teasers) you've shared it is awesome.
Keep up the self indulgence when this is the end product! :3

[identity profile] starflowers.livejournal.com 2009-07-31 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
AH!

WRITE MORE.

I cannot keep forcing you to write more when I have been neglecting Reluctant Cheerleader Duct Tape French Rivals, it isn't fair! But H/D Green Gables! And original fiction!

My head will explode. Only more NINJA will soothe the wound. You know, like a bandaid over a gunshot wound.

No, I don't know what I'm talking about. But I need to go write anyway. Ninja inspires me. Or the guilt. I'm not sure.

Sounds awesome! :)

So that -points- is me spontaneously combusting in a corner over how excited I am for this fic.

OH MY GOD.

I need to write you more coherent comments. But you know that I love your shit.

I saw NINJA and it was like my siren call!

This snippet is hilarious, I smiled all the way through it.

THIS SOUNDS SO EXCELLENT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, CRAZY LADY.

[identity profile] elisabeth-438.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
I can't waaaaiiiiiittttttttttt!!! I love all Bill's, especially your Bill's. And this one sounds so AWESOME so far.

[identity profile] morrisseyislove.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
OMGz, me too. It's all SKOOSIE'S FAULT. And I'm sure she did it on purpose.

[identity profile] morrisseyislove.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
So, is this different or the same from the one with Kevin Jonas and his baby?

[identity profile] overusedcliches.livejournal.com 2009-08-01 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
She totally did. You know I'm not entirely conviced that she's not a Jonas brother, using our love of slash against us and slowly converting us all in to Jonas fans.

*RUNS AROUND FLAILING*

[identity profile] skoosiepants.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
thank you! I'm having a lot of fun writing it at least :)

[identity profile] skoosiepants.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Bill is so much fun! And surprisingly not gay in this :/

[identity profile] skoosiepants.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
eeee! hopefully I will finish it sometime in the next week or so *fingers-crossed*

[identity profile] skoosiepants.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
it's completely ridiculous and I'm having so much fun writing it :)

[identity profile] skoosiepants.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
jobros are MAGIC! even J likes their tv show :)

[identity profile] skoosiepants.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'm really really really hoping to finish this within the next week or so!

[identity profile] highschoolhussy.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
That is shocking, but a good kind. Now I am even more interested, haha.

[identity profile] skoosiepants.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
thank you! I hope this doesn't end up disappointing, but I'm having too much fun with it anyway :)

[identity profile] skoosiepants.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
WRITE MORE FRENCH RIVALS!!!!!!!!!

[identity profile] skoosiepants.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
thank you! it's going to be so pointless, but hopefully fun :)

[identity profile] skoosiepants.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
I hope it doesn't disappoint! at least I'm making myself laugh :)

[identity profile] skoosiepants.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
It's like Kevin is magic! and also Carden!

[identity profile] skoosiepants.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
I wish all these ridiculous bands I'm creating were real :)

[identity profile] skoosiepants.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
HEE! well you will probably have the pleasure of making sure it actually makes sense when I'm all done :)

[identity profile] skoosiepants.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Bill is so excellent, I love writing him :)

[identity profile] skoosiepants.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
this is different! the kevin and a baby fic is completely random, I'm still not sure if I'm going to write it or not

[identity profile] skoosiepants.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
eeee! \o/

[identity profile] insunshine.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
It is SUCH a pleasure. It's an honor.

It's pretty safe to say I want to beta your still until the end of time, lady.

[identity profile] nunshavingfun.livejournal.com 2009-08-03 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
or you are crazy! either way!

[identity profile] shortie-mcshort.livejournal.com 2009-08-07 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I am laughing so hard right now! I can't wait for more...just...Gah! Yeah I need this

[identity profile] cielablue.livejournal.com 2009-08-09 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
i am making amazed faces at you. POST THIS NOW.
also, i'm pretty sure patrick saying "i will end you" through his teeth just about made my life.
so will the rest of NINJA, when you finally post it. (if you can't tell, i am making earnest eyes at you through the computer. the earnest eyes never fail.)

[identity profile] skoosiepants.livejournal.com 2009-08-15 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
wooo! I'm pretty much done it, now I just have to edit it all :)

[identity profile] skoosiepants.livejournal.com 2009-08-15 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
*laughs* it is almost done! well, I'm done writing it, it just needs lots and lots of editing :)
