my name is colin and i write derivative fiction.

[behindthec]

...if, hypothetically, ryan were to suddenly reveal the results of his piano lessons (which he mentioned he was taking, years ago in interviews), what do you think he might like to play that brendon could walk in on and see? atm i'm leaning toward this. anyone who's seen the truman show will appreciate.

link me to your youtube choices? doesn't have to be classical, but i'm thinking something gentle and romantic. btw, chapter 1 of pccf is underway and i maybe kind of love it a lot. \o/

before i go, a few recs, which i never bother with unless i don't think they've been publicized as much as they deserve.

Reinvent Love by my dearest new friend ella; i'm proud to say i've been helping inspire her, supposedly, since chapter 5-ish. it's almost done; by the time you catch up, the last chapter might be up. it's a classic ryden chronicle without being cliche; she's only been writing slash two months and she's off to a great start, just made a masterlist too, so check it out. the italy!fic she's writing me, omg. ♥ also, the elf!fic series by moku_youbi, which i meant to rec awhile ago; specifically the jon/spence/ryan, is possibly my favourite thing i read all last year; so proud to have been the beta. also, becca's vampire!fic, the only het i've been able to read in the past five years and actually love. she worked long and hard (lolz) on it and it was all worth it.

also, thanks to everyone for all the great bits of conversation on my last post, about fic theory and genderswap and whatnot. some of the comments are really interesting if you care to read. my new friend j_plash says lots of cool things (like calling fanfic "derivative fiction," which is the awesomest term ever and i'm going to go around telling everyone i know that i write DERIVATIVE FICTION, because it sounds SO COOL). it's really nice that we can all talk like that, express differing opinions in respectful ways, instead of arguing like stupid internet drama queens. hah. thanks guys.

p.s. this is why we have been friends for six (seven??) years. jesus. also, another cheer from my boss. also i do an interpretive dance. no, really. and then because that wasn't embarrassing enough, i came home and keri and i made this.

happy friday!

lol. i was definitely five minutes late for english, and then colin texted me porn under the table and informed me that i cannot, in fact, write a buffy-meets-bandom standalone, because i have OTHER PROJECTS. namely, the story that he just pimped out in this very entry. heh. BUT. I WANT TO.

someday. someday...

(i want alex gaskarth in here somewhere. just sayin'.)

[bunniesontoast.livejournal.com]

lol. i wish somebody would text me porn, but, as it is, nobody who can text me does. lol.

somedayyyyy. <3

[if we're having Gaskarth, we're having Barakat. and i DEMAND to have the boys from AAR in where somewhere, or maybe just Nick Wheeler.]
