Big poll of bannish enthusiasm! (Plus bonus non-bandom question)

[scribblinlenore]

I've been curious about what people's bannish preferences are, and it's Friday, and I thought: Hey, why not a poll? For my friends who are muttering "dear God, here we go about bandom again," I have a special question just for you. :)

Also, I wanted to thank sanami276 for the icon I'm using. It's lovely and it makes me happy and thank you!

The Matches are adorable, like if Fall Out Boy had never gotten all that big, and Patrick was the drummer and Pete was a cross-dresser.

Also! There can never be enough Gerard/Bob! NEVER.

Pining is the bestest kind of fic, obviously.

Everyone already chimed in with Panic GSF, so I'll just say how very much I love a fandom where the default ship is puppypile.

And I'm also fannish about Brand New/Taking Back Sunday/Straylight Run, because there is hilarious and public drama complete with bitter t-shirt making, and The All-American Rejects, because they're like the one good not-country band to come out of my state, like, ever and because Tyson Ritter is very very pretty and claims to have been married to his guitarist since he was seventeen.

I'm so dyslexic I thought GSF was short for Scouting For Girls. *rolls eyes at self*

But anyway!

I love that you're in bandom now because I've just stumbled into it too and I fecking love eeeeet! :) It's so juicy.

Thank you very much for the recs you've been posting. I'm reading my way through them at the moment. Were it not for you, I would not have discovered the wonders of linzeestyle, for example.

My OTPs are Pete/Patrick and Gerard/Frank because, although I'll read almost anything, I love the burning hotness emotional dynamics of those pairings. I guess the other band members are too well adjusted to be all that interesting to me, cute as they are. :)

Is it my imagination or is P!ATD fic mostly comedy or fluff while the darker trauma epics tend to be the 'older' bands such as My Chem and FOB? Not that there's anything wrong with comedy/fluff/etc.

I really wish the music wasn't so good, too. I read a bit of popslash back in the day but due to liking only one or two songs, it never obsessed me the bandom does.
