so [livejournal.com profile] isweedan (and many others, but I think I saw hers first) got a bandom voice meme from [livejournal.com profile] sneaky_sena and I have been wanting to do it, but I had no idea, other than lj voice post, which I knew would not be long enough, how to get my voice onto LJ, and so I despaired. And then I remembered that I am actually an intelligent person capable of figuring things out, and so I got out audacity and signed up for soundcloud, and here we are. The meme looks like this:

Think of this as a template. If you want to skip a question, go ahead. If you want to add your own questions or just ramble on about bandom or fanfiction, feel free! Just do a podcast or a voice post or whatever you can to get your voice on the internets for all of us to hear.

1. What's your username and is there a story behind it?
2. Where are you from and where do you live now?
3. What are you wearing? Yes, I am hitting on you.
4. How long have you been in bandom? How did you get into it?
5. Which bands are your favorites?
6. Which band members are your favorites?
7. Have you seen any of them in concert? Any fun stories or memories to share?
8. Do you have an OTP? What is it, and why do you love it?
9. What story do you wish someone would write?
10. Are you working on something for bandom right now? Tell us a little bit about it.
11. You've got fic open somewhere on your computer right now, don't lie. So go to one of your open tabs or word documents or whatever, and read us a couple of lines.
12. Say these words: Iero, haberdashery, LOLcat, flist, dirigible, halcyon, nemesis, ephemeral, languorous

I love your voice! <333

hahaha I COULD NOT STOP TALKING. and I kept getting twitter pop-up notifications while I was saying that part so I got totally distracted and had no idea what I had said and what I hadn't, and idek. WHATEVER. BANDOM. I LIKE IT NOW :D

I hope I get unstuck too, because I REALLY WANT THIS FIC. I tried to get [livejournal.com profile] blue_soaring to want to write it for me, but she said I should write it. but I think I also might be a little bit too into it? when this damn big bang is finished! I shall return to it. *determined*

It's been fascinating listening to you and finding out more about your fandom origins. I too started in Bandom without having heard the bands. Unholyverse was recommended to me and I printed a pic of MCR out from the interwebz, dutifully labelled it with the name of each member and began to read! It wasn't unitl Bluesoaring and her basement shagfest (and your awesome contribution) that I started listening to them, and watched LOTMS - That vid should be compulsory viewing for everyone in the universe. Before the vid arrived I downloaded Black Parade, then Danger Days. I love both equally now but BP was initially my obsession for weeks. Also 'I'm not OK', especially because of my love of HS AU which MCR delivered in fucking SPADES with that vid. My GOD, I still go weak thinking about that, particularly when I found out is was made about 3 days into Gerard's sobriety, and then I read a fic about that time and I was LOST for days, they just lived in my head and wouldn't budge. I've just found the fic I mean I'm Not Sleeping (Trust Me) by Dira Sudis (dsudis)http://archiveofourown.org/works/27469. My love of sober Gee is the flip side of my fascination with drunk and wasted Gee, and my adoration of The Sharpest Lives as a song.

I have found the Panic! fic you were talking about, and am off to send it to my Kindle. Panic are another band I got into just through fic, but when I found they were coming to Manchester in January, I got tickets just because, and decided I had better listen a bit harder to them. I do like their most recent album a lot, and I like the band ethos etc. But I don't have that huge emotional connection with the music that I get with Adam and with My Chem. And as for the rest of bandom, I read the fic, I especialy love the Warped era fic and the cross-bandom fertilsation, and anyone's first time ever, but I don't like the music so much.

And finally I want to squee all over the house about your LBB being HS AU. Those fics in May almost killed me.

Oh, Unholyverse! alskjdfhsdf that story is AMAZING. and oh my heart, LOTMS. It breaks my heart so much when Gerard is literally falling down drunk.

I had tried listening to their music the summer of 2010, but I'm not a fan of the genre generally, so didn't much like it. but then Danger Days came out and I loved Na Na Na and Sing, and started listening to that and liked some of the other songs too, and then I started actively listening and actually trying to like it, and a lot of Black Parade reminds me of Pink Floyd, who I love, and ... the rest is history :)

I'm Not Sleeping is also a super great fic. so so good.

The thing about bandom is that there are just a TON of fantastic writers in the fandom. So there is a massive pile of fic to read :D

I hope that you will like my LBB! It's over 70k words now, so a lot more in depth than the MMOM fics. :)

:D :D :D yay!! I am very happy a story of mine helped you get into My Chem! I already knew what your voice sounded like but I enjoyed this refresher AND YOUR FACE, which I imagined from memory ♥

I miss your face! I would like to see it again. Damn that ocean D:

It totally helped. That and the primer that went with it. Because it was undeniable that they are ADORABLE IN THE EXTREME.

*chinhands* So, in the least creepy way possible, I could listen to you talk all day. Um. <3

Also, I love these voice memes so much, no one ever sounds like I thought they would :D

hehehe I am so glad! I always get so /o\ about recordings of my voice.

But yeah. these memes are making me ridiculously happy! I love hearing everyone and agree that no one sounds like I thought they would, except isweedan because I had already met her :D Everyone should do them!!!

Your voice is cute! And now I know how you got your username. I never connected you to Firefly, so that was a cool story! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! ♥
 
posted by [identity profile] rivers-bend.livejournal.com at 08:00pm on 24/11/2011
all my babbling! I have actually told my username story to enough people that you'd think I had it down by now, but it's nerve wracking talking to a big blank computer screen! lol

Kaylee/Inara was my first (and mostly only) femslash OTP. I really love Firefly and Serenity, and wanted so badly for there to be more, but now I look back and it's kind of perfect the way it is.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU TOO, LOVELY!

First of all your voice! Lovely and eloquent. I think I might be a little jealous. ;P
I love water toooo, although I've never seen Serenity. And I am also an SF Bay Area-er. Go us!
It was cool to hear about your circular coming into/involvement in bandom. I love how there's an entire sociology/culture/evolution to fandom- it fascinates me!

Oh! I had to go wipe down Dog's muddy paws before she came in the house and I forgot to say- add my alsdfndkla yesss please! to those pleading for this facefucking to get written after LBB. And then also I actually tossed my head back and went YES when you said your LBB is HS AU, the genre you have single-handedly converted me to liking, hahaha.

I will never not be over the moon that bandom is another fandom I get to share with you. Loves loves loves.
