In response to the current FOB/bandslash wave that is currently flooding the internet, here are some handy links just in case you feel like dipping a toe in the bandslash waters. (Yes, I am done with that metaphor now.)

Uh... where to start... Okay, well if you're not familiar with Fall Out Boy check out the FOB primer over at damnyouwentz. If you'd rather skip the reading and move straight on to the pretty then you need psychodragon82's Massive Fall Out Boy Pimping Post parts one and two, this totally awesome pxp intro and picspam by shrift and lierdumoa's also awesome FOB introspam. Mmmm Patricky goodness.

You can probably tell from all those pics that Pete and Patrick are meant for each other but just in case you're not convinced read what Pete says about Patrick and see from this video that Patrick feels the same. Seriously, watch that video, Patrick is so giggly. OMG *is dead*. You know what would be fun? If I could write about Patrick without turning into a excitable twelve year o... Ooh! Sorry, got distracted by the advert for Thnks Fr Th Mmrs. "Hey who stole all the vowels?" *snort*.

Anyway! Now for some fic, I'm too lazy to actually compile a list of my own so once again I'm relying on psychodragon82 and her pimping skillz. Fic and more pretty!

Of course bandslash doesn't end with FOB, there are other bands and crossover fics and OMFG! My Chemical Romance are on BBC2. That's kind of a freaky coincidence... and really not conducive to my whole trying-not-to-be-obsessed-with-Gerard-Way philosophy. Er... moving on. Yes. Other bands! wistfuljane has made this rather comprehensive guide to the bandslash bands and how they are related to each other. It even has a handy flowchart! Also check out the Massive MCR Pimping Post of Doom parts one, two and three by psychodragon82, who is also not conducive to my whole trying-not-to-be-obsessed-with-Gerard-Way philosophy. we_are_cities, slashypunkboys and damnyouwentz will supply you with the crack fic.

P.S. Yes, I made it back from England in one piece. There will be a post about it when I can tear myself away from the bandslash for long enough. There may even be pictures.
