Am I the only one who feels this way?

[cinderlily]

When I enter in a fandom, well even just kind of dip my toes into the water of the fandom, and notice that there is no good fic and not really the pairings I want I have to fight the urge to write it for myself?

I really really don't want to write what I am thinking about writing. Just to let you all know.

Welcome to my life. At least half the fandoms I've written in have been because I couldn't find anything that I wanted to read. Sometimes a pairing is just so obvious but there are no fics about it. WTF? Then I go, "Well, I suppose if I want it written my way, I'd better write it myself."

And what fandom/pairing are you thinking about?

Why am I embarrassed? I don't know... My Chemical Romance slash. With Gerard/Frank. They are so freaking adorable, and he actually said "I would date Gerard."... and... Cuteness.

And yea! It isn't just me!

*cackles* I'll have links up tomorrow. Or tonight, even. And if you write what I think you want to write, you better not post it where certain people can see it, if you know what I mean. On the other hand, if you're *not* thinking what I'm thinking, what *are* you thinking of writing?

It isn't that. I am definitely feeling the Frank/Gerard love. Serioulsy, he SAID "I would date Gerard"! He SAID it! OMG!

info dump!

Oh, sweetheart. I was like this January of last year, and my enthusiasm has only waned a little. It's so amusing.

You know what's funny, is that I'm going to send you to all the places/people I sent Zoe in the sooper sekrit pimp post. I am mainly an MCR girl, and those are mainly MCR people. And even though the rec journal has other fics on it, I think it was created mainly for MCR.

On the other hand, here are some basic sites, with pictures and articles and whatnot, some updated regularly, some not

http://www.myfrenchromance.com/

This is the biggest fansite of theirs. It's layout is wonky, but they have some good (and bad) stuff-- like articles. They're big on articles.

[this has a lot, if not all, of their performances. Ever. I love this site. You have to scroll down, or link to MCR at the top of the page to find it, but it's well worth any hassle.]

[kinda scary. Especially with the pairing names. And their ballistic approach to spelling, punctuation and manners. These are mainly teenagers, and teenagers who think they're entitled. If I could write anything more than a paragraph I'd write circles around them.]

[the main community. Well, for most. It has a lot of information first]

[best community EVAR. And it's sort of not fair that I'm pimping it out because membership's been frozen at 100. I think Nic (the mod, aka xoverau) is still culling the extra members that don't post anything.]

[I don't actually belong to this one, because I'm a Ray and Bob girl(hell, I'm for all five of them, but I like Ray first, dammit!)] but it's here.

[yeah, mcr fans are kinda INSANE enough to have a chronology community]

I can think of two fandoms where it's really my name and that's it (which makes me very sad) or one that I definitely helped start.

It's an infliction. :P
