Well, there is onstage kissing canon.
Right! And their public/stage personae.
Of course, the fact that I like it as a 36 year old may explain why it was less popular with the target audience.
I love the second album completely, but I do love the first one, too. What surprises me is how hard I fell for Fall Out Boy.
Since there's no canon per se, the fic is ... well, RPS
But it doesn't have to be, does it? No, I'll never understand. I don't even do RPF. To each their own.

I am surprised by that, too. Actually, I didn't really even like popular music from my own era-- I was much more of a Joni Mitchell/Judy Collins kind of girl. But the lyrics and the music go together so well. And Pete Wentz is a poet. And Patrick is really, really good. And Joe Trohman is good and seems like a nice, real, funny guy. And Andy, is, well, kind of annoying.
But it doesn't have to be, does it?
Well, in not!RPF, writers are exploring the characters. Since there are no "characters" most writers simply RPF/S. But some people do hysterical AUs, like Panic! as kittens, or FOB and MCR as the staff and cast of a children's show.
MCR is my favorite of the bandom bands, hands down. I like FOB, don't like PatD, although I should probably give their second album a listen if it's not as repetitive as, say "I Write Sins Not Tragedies." Too much repetition drives me bugfuck nuts, which is why I have trouble with JT and Usher (well, I go way back with Usher, but that's another topic).

Sorry to interupt the RPF/S discussion. Need to rant a moment.
Dear Project Manager
When I send you e-mails asking you about item A, B, and C. And you reply with 5,6, and 7. Don't be surprised when I ask, again, about A, B, and C. And don't come back with a response asking about 8 or 9 which are irrelevent. Just answer my darned questions. They are pretty simple. I have even dumbed them down to check this box type question.
Quit making this harder for both of us.
kthxbye
I've been doing yoga for three days. You guys, I can't remember the last time my ass has been this thoroughly kicked.

See, this is why I think I have the potential to be a decent PM, I'm mostly pretty good at email!

In a row? Wow! What kind?
Is fic a defining characteristic of bandom?
I thought it was kind of annoying that the default of Outlook here is to set replies to blue, but it does mean that you can easily put your replies in the text of the question, thus ensuring you hit the questions actually asked. It's a boon. That's not always exploited.
