Gah. That was the most difficult poll I've taken in a long, long time. I like all kinds of stories! And I'm just not an OTP sort of person! (Runners up for the pairing: Pete/Patrick and Patrick/Bob; I also really like rare pairs.) And at various times I actually love Bob, Frank, and Mikey more than I love Gerard (though I do adore Gerard!), but Gerard is the most necessary, somehow.

Re: "fannish" -- I picked the ones I'm fannish about in terms of seeking out fic and being reasonably interested in some amount of canon; if we're talking bands that I'm really fannish about the actual music for (love rather than only like), the My Chem is probably it, plus the Dresden Dolls, who I adored long before I'd ever heard of bandom.
