Okay, so I know I shouldn't find this as funny as I seriously do, because, yes, fourth wall violation and everything. Actually, I'll cut it, because I'm sure people will be squicked.

Okay, okay. So if you haven't heard, there is this fic, which is Tom Conrad/Bob Bryar, and pretty good! And then there is this comment, made by Tom Conrad's band's myspace on another member of the band's myspace:



OH YES, MY PRETTIES. OH YES. TOM CONRAD: HE READS YOUR FIC, AND HE QUOTES FROM IT. Now, this would be MORE than magnificently hilarifying enough in and of itself, but then we have this anonymous comment on the fic itself. Please note the time stamp, as compared with the stamp on the myspace comment.

...yeah.

It was only a matter of time before a band boy commented on fic, right? And if it had to happen, the fact that it was on a BOB BRYAR/TOM CONRAD FIC, and the fact that the comment was, and I quote, "Just beautiful," are definitely enough to catapult it from the realm of simply horrifying into the glorious land of AMAZING WTFERY. Who do you think taught him to leave feedback on fic? Pete? Gabe? I just. I JUST CANNOT EVEN.

I keep thinking I have made this up in my mind, but NOPE. TRUE. TRUE STORY. Ohhhhh bandom, you are a brave new world. Sometimes I think about old RPS meta from five years ago or more and then I laugh until I cry.

P.S. *dies laughing forever and ever*

In other news, this is my 350th post. That is 345 more posts than I ever thought I'd make!

ETA: In other other news, I am turning off custom comment pages, because a) people hate them and b) this way I can use my thread unfolder! Everybody wins!

I WISH I WAS IN A BAND, JUST SO I COULD COMMENT AND FREAK THE FANGIRLS.

I KNOW, RIGHT? Let's be honest: if people wrote fic about me, I would not only quote the fic, I would probably wear t-shirts with those quotes on them. AMAZING. I would comment constantly!

"This Hannah was totally OOC. I prefer pegging to bondage, and I hate cauliflower! Also, you have a tense change in the middle of section two. Great sex scene, though, A+++."

I know, right? And YET. The lulz inherent in this situation are starting to overcome my terror. Maybe I would be more freaked out if I was more into TomRad?

I AM THINKING NERDY INTELLECTUAL THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS.

THEY ARE MIXED WITH WONDERING IF ANY OF THE REALITY PEOPLE HAVE READ MY FIC.

BUT MOSTLY NERDY INTELLECTUAL LINE-CROSSING!

BANDBOYS CLEARLY HAVE A HANKERING FOR RAREPAIRS. NATE/SPENCER (WHO IS NOT SPENCER SMITH BUT NATE'S BFF?????), GERARD/MIKEY, TOM/BOB, ANDY/JOE!

The only reason Patrick's even read the Pete/Patrick stuff is because Pete ships it so hard, obviously.

SDLFKJLSF YESSSSSS I HAVE NOTICED THIS TOO. I LOVE THAT THEY ARE ALL ABOUT THE RARE PAIRS, OMFG. YOU FORGOT GABE/WILLIAM/TRAVIS, WHICH GABE WANTS! TRECKABE!

Oh, well, I mean, obvs. When you're getting emailed links every two minutes, it's only a matter of time before you break down.

OH RACHEL DO YOU FEEL THAT IT IS THE COOL BREEZE OF DNW BLOWING OUR WAYYYY

I've got... um, so much stifled, inappropriate laughter going on right now that I'm trying not to cry at my desk.

I mean, dude. I was at a play a few months back and there was a boy there who looked alarmingly like Tomrad, and I keep having "OMG WHAT HAPPENS IF WE CROSS THE STREAMS?!" fear that I'll run into these dudes at Schubas or wherever some night, because my reaction will probably be DEMENTED HONKING LAUGHTER.

That's pretty much where I'm at, yep. When I'd been in bandom for, like, a week, [livejournal.com profile] etben saw Andy up by Belmont, and my reaction to her telling me about this was a full-body flail of horror and glee. I just. Whaaaaaat. WHAT.

AHAHA OMG. Oh, Tom Conrad and/or your new bandmates. Hi. /o\

Is it bad that part of me is like, hey, at least we know they're reading GOOD fic for once?

I know. I knowww.

See, that actually weirds me out MORE, because at least before I could delude myself that they had only found the quizilla/buzznet nonsense, and that's not really US, you know? But this... this pretty much is us. No question. They're not just reading fic, they're reading OUR FIC.

Part of me is making grabby hands at the fourth wall. Where has it gone, and omg, I want it back! But most of me is laughing at how weird and fucked up it all is. Though, I feel for a few people on my flist who write TomRad fic. They're kinda freaking out now.

But, man, this fandom! How can it be real? It's ridiculously awesome.

Oh, I know, I think I'd be a lot more freaked if I wrote a lot of TomRad. And I'm definitely going to keep putting disclaimers on fic to the effect that it would be AWESOME if you could, you know, not read this, Alex Suarez's dad?

It's pretty much ricockulous. Oh, BANDOM.

I feel bad for the people I know who write Tomrad fic. But mostly I am trying not to lol at work, because this would be even more difficult to explain than usual.
