venetia_sassyIn your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts.
Ummm. I had to think about this. Um.
1) There's a plotbunny or just a plotimage that came to me a while back. I seriously doubt I'll ever write it but I'd love to see it written!
I think I was reading AlwaysAGirl!Gee/Frank when I had an image of a girl!Frank that I hadn't yet come across. Imagine Danger Days-era Gee/girl!Frankie having kids. Pregnant Frankie slouching around in hoodies she steals from the guys, hair getting longer and wavier than it has since she was a kid and looking remarkably soft and glowing and Madonna-like (when she's not feeling huge and tired and queasy and dammit, she has to pee again.)
Then the babies (I keep thinking twins) are born and it's exhausting and amazing and they do the Killjoys vids with Frankie's hair in funky braids or something. But at some point after that, she realises that babies like to grab. And pull. And ow, it hurts, okay?! So she shaves her head. Much less fuss all around. And she tries to convince Gee that he could shave his hair off too! (It doesn't work. And the babies like his bright hair, okay?)
But that's the image that I had - shaven-headed Frankie carrying her babies around. I think she'd look fabulous!
2) Suggestions on where to find good Panic icons.
I've found a few from early days but I haven't found more recent ones that I like. (MCR, on the other hand ... I've found plenty!)
3) A beta. Or someone willing to listen to fic babble.
I've never had a beta and I suspect one of the things that frustrates me in my writing in general is not having people to talk to about it. I can talk to myself constantly - and get surprising variations in answers sometimes - but there are times when it really feels like beating my head against a brick wall. It's kind of like my senior years of high school, then uni - isolation didn't worry me much in earlier years but as you go on there are ideas that need discussion to help you understand them.
Writing feels rather like that at times.

b) (bandom person) WHAT IS YOUR EVERYTHING? I MUST WRITE AN EPIC ABOUT THE FACT THAT MIKEY CANON CALLED FRANK FRANKIE AND DOES NOT LIKE EGGS!
c) FUCK YOU PLOT. WORK FUCK YOU WORK! ;__; i can't just leave my outline i) event ii) event iii) event iv) SOMETHING v) event
d) there is no (random weird ass thing) fic! All I want is Ray/Joe working as hair fetish models! *prompt to chat it out*
e) I HATE EVERYTHING WHY ISN'T THERE FIC WHERE EVERYONE DIES IN A FIRE? RRRGH. EXCEPT BRENDON. AND HE SUFFERS ALONE FOREVER. ARRRRRGH.
Or you know, any combination of the above :)
For live-talk I'm best found on AIM, but I have yahoo, and kopperblaze just emails me. What works for you?

Date: 2012-01-16 02:45 pm (UTC)I will gladly cheer you on to write girl!Frank/Gerard! I'm sure you'd do it very well. :)
Your a, b, c, d and e are sounding very familiar to me ... and I would love to babble back and forth! (My last fic idea involved Gerard and Frank meeting on a prison hulk, and Frank watching over Gerard who's decided he really has to quit drinking. 18th century prison hulk possibly not the best place for it. WTF brain?!)
The verse I'm really trying to get back to working on is this - psychics and shapeshifters and humans. I suspect I should really get back on AIM at some point - I gave it up years ago since between timezones and my weird sleep habits I was never awake when other people were - but at the moment I just have email: venetia@iprimus.com.au
