So you don't know who fun is... fun is the best band you're not listening to.

The band is composed of Nate Ruess, Jack Antonoff and Andrew Dost.

If any of these guys look or seem familiar, it's because Nate is the former frontman of Arizona's beloved The Format, Jack Antonoff is the frontman of Steel Train and Andrew Dost hails from Anathallo.

And some fun little trivia connecting these guys to bandom...

Steel Train was part of the Dance Across America tour, directly supporting The Hush Sound, and following The Cab.

The Format was the first opener on an All American Rejects tour in 2006, playing before Motion City Soundtrack took the stage.

And if you're starting to think some of this fun junk might sound familiar, well, Mark Hoppus wrote his first Hopp on Pop about fun, they recently supported Motion City Soundtrack on tour (and several of the members tweeted fairly consistently about their amazingness) and they're apparently now BFFL with Panic! at the Disco.

No. Seriously. Observe:

There also somewhere exists on youtube wherein Spencer says if he could collaborate with any band it would be fun.

So take it from Spencer. If you don't give them a listen, he will bitchface you to eath.

It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

Band(s): Fall Out Boy (featuring members of: The Jonas Brothers, Metro Station, Hey Monday, fun., Panic at the Disco, and a special guest appearance by Fuck City)
Pairing(s): Pete/Joe (Patrick/Cassadee, Brendon/Spencer, Fuck/City)
Word Count: 21,288
Rating/Warnings: HARD R. Warnings for Zombies and people being zombie-fied. Mention of past character death, but no current deaths in the fic itself.
Summary: What started out as a virus became the plague that nearly wiped out Earth. Joe and Pete search for a safe zombie-free home (if there is such a place) and find friends and enemies on their journeys. Oh, and they're self-titled Zombie Hunters.

Fanmixes For Some Flounder! // Fanart Coming Soon to a Theater Near You!

THANK YOU... To withoutmaps who went through the painful process of reading this before revisions took place. She is awesome and cat-sat for me when I went out of town. Also she is my wall against whom I bounce fic ideas off of and never ceases to help me find inspiration to keep writing (read: Blame her.)

And to ditchwitchbitch who kept asking for the fucking zombie hunters story until it came to completion. You probably sat through hours upon hours of discussion about this one, and for that, I thank you.

And to likealocket who did nothing for this fic this time around, but promises not to hate me for writing something she will never read. Next one is all you baby! :*

Here thar be... oh never mind

I was fortunate enough to have TWO awesome mixes made, and two very different mixes made!

The Side of the Road by pearldrop

( Track Listing )

Point of interest: One of these songs almost ended up on the fanmix I made. (It was the first one.)

Dude Where's Your Skin? by languisity

( Track Listing )

Point of interest: This entire mix made me think of Joe, from song the first to song the last.

Huge huge huge thanks to both of these mixers, who used different styles to tell the same story in music. I cannot encourage all the readers out there (and non-readers) enough to download these mixes and listen while you read. It will enhance the reading. Just download both and listen to them one after the other. You'll LOVE it. :)

I love when fic makes me roll over and laugh out loud.

Bob Bryar wasn't the most qualified for the job, but during the interviewing process, he was the least cocky and didn't mind the small starting salary. The only thing was that he had the bluest eyes Spencer had ever seen outside of his bathroom mirror

Well done, clarityhiding!

And So It Starts
R * 9,498 words * Joe/Pete
I disclaim!

Summary: Joe starts a band!
Notes: Belatedly posted for shakyshaky who donated moneys for Haiti in the help_haiti auction. My sincerest apologies for taking so long to post this. It took me a while to write, because I wanted it to be perfect, so I'm hoping you enjoy it. Huge thanks to likealocket for the awesome beta job!

Request
Joe/Pete story that's either a modern AU or for it to take place before/as they get famous (with the focus on their off-time rather than touring). Hidden crushes, misunderstandings, accidental and/or deliberately casual boy touching with hints of UST are some of my favorite things. A moody or oblivious Pete would be great too. Oh, and snarky supporting characters (Patrick, Andy, etc.).

( They have a band. )

To Catch a Predator AU y/n? I'm picturing Brendon as the decoy and Joe as the Chief of Police. Spencer is Chris Hanson. He just wants to talk to you for a few minutes.

I had a thought. Joe/Pete The OC AU. Wherein Joe is Seth Cohen, living in the suburbs, surrounded by people he doesn't like, going to a school he despises, and living for the hours outside of school where he can be his own self and not worry about what other people think about him.

Enter Pete Wentz, a rough kid with a past who's just looking for the opportunity to grow up and have a life.

Because seriously? Joe IS Seth Cohen. Or Seth Cohen is Joe, whichever way you want to look at it. All the way down to the geriatric Jew that lives inside both Joe and Seth.

I should have done this awhile ago, but I kept forgetting. I signed up to do help_haiti and you can find my auction and bid on me here. Any past fandom or current fandom. Of course current fandom. Go forth and give to Haiti.
