my name is colin and i write derivative fiction.

...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!

now that i'm on youtube i'm just playing random beatles stuff... i know it's been overused, but now i kind of want him to do across the universe. it's just so smiley and pretty. and it would make ryan want to kiss him, which is kind of the point.

Oh watching Beatles stuff on YouTube can be addictive. I just sat down and watched A Hard Day's Night clips for like 2 hours.
But it was two hours well spent.
And Beatles songs + ryden = epic combination
Across the Universe sound excellent!
Anything which leads to kisses can only be a good thing.

God John, kill me with your words. *sigh*

Do you know what I seriously want?
Bden to do a cover of Here Comes The Sun.
I just think it would suit his voice so so well.
Man, I desperately want Panic acoustic covers of Beatles songs.
OHOHOH and Maybe I'm Amazed! YES PLEASE.

I have a feeling that if he put his mind to it, Ryan might be able to play slide like George....

(Gawd, we totally are The Ryan Ross. *dies*)

OOOOOOH. that would be AWESOME. i might have him do that in another scene. i'm surprised they don't do more covers of beatles songs on their tours... they did eleanor rigby for awhile on circus, i think, but... that's it.
