1. Bandom fic recs. I'm so ridiculously behind on fics, it's not even funny. Since I haven't had internet access at home for the past 3 months or whatever (has it really been that long? jeez) I haven't read any new fics at all. I'm mostly looking for fics featuring my OTP's - Frank/Gerard, Pete/Patrick, Jon/Spencer and Ryan/Brendon, in that order, but really any good bandom fic in general will be a Good Thing. In return I offer all my bandom recs on del.icio.us - Pete/Patrick, and every other pairing. It ubruptly stops in mid-April, but there's a LOT of fic recs there.

2. The original David Bowie version of "The Man Who Sold The World". I've been listening to the Nirvana version a lot lately, and it makes me a little sad that I don't have the original. In return I give you David Bowie's greatest hits collection, Best of Bowie. Here's the tracklisting. ETA: Nevermind, someone on

lunatunes uploaded it for me!

Mood: Needy
Music:Amy Winehouse - Rehab

I'd seen people posting about big bang, but didn't know the exact name of the community. Thanks so much!

I've read all those except the big bang one, and they are all awesome. You have good fic taste. ;)

XD I am so glad I finally stopped resisting and just dove in. Mmm, bandom.

I resisted bandom forever too. I was a huge FOB fan for like a year before I started reading the fic. Once I started, I just couldn't stop, and expanded my OTP to like, 5 OTPs.

I kept putting it off with "I don't need another fandom!" excuses, and then I just cracked and haven't looked back. My best friend keeps mocking me for it, and I keep sending her stuff to convert her, but she's more resistant and still not giving in.

Pffft, there's no such thing as having too many fandoms.

I have full confidence you will convert your friend in the end. So many people on my flist were like, "I'm never gonna get into bandom, never ever never!" and they're all eating their words now. THE POWER OF PETE WENTZ WILL NOT BE DENIED.

Ahaha, Pete Wentz is probably the last guy she'd give into. I'm going to start sending her big bang links, maybe the slash will get her into it. I think liking the music is really part of being in bandom, though, and she's not really into any of it, so that might take a while.

How can anyone not love Pete Wentz? ::confused face::

I have a friend like that,

bailunrui. Me and her and like, musical twins & agree on almost every artist and genre EXCEPT she refuses to get into bandom. It makes me a very sad Luna.

I don't know. I used to look at pictures of Pete and be all "OK, that dude's really speshul." And now it's just... *hands* It's PETE WENTZ. There is no escape.

Aww, she'll give in eventually. SHE WILL.

I loved Pete right from the beginning. Any dude who took pictures of his dick like that and kept them in his sidekick was just too adorkable for me to resist. Plus the guyliner, and the general complete fuck-up-edness of him, all equaled me falling hard.

I have hope for Lauren. Someday she will see the brilliance that is bandom!

Offering up my del recs! http://del.icio.us/greenet

Some current favorites:

The Rise and Fall of the Black Parade - nowhere near as depressing as the summary makes it sound. It's kind of... Sandman-y without being anything like Sandman at all. Gerard/Frank.

throw a little sparkle all over it - Gerard accidentally adopts a baby.

Skin of the canvas - Frank is Gerard's model.

My del.icio.us has a bunch of stuff, including a ton of which I haven't gotten around to yet, but comes highly recommended. Mostly Panic, because they've stolen my soul. :)
