So it’s Friday and what better way to spend Friday night than with a good bottle of wine and your fave CD of the guys?? Um, how about Friday night with a bottle wine, your fave CD AND some fan fiction? Yes, you read that right, FAN FICTION. It has come to these bloggers’ attention that there are a couple of sites dedicated to the writing of fan fiction that may or may not be starring…um…three guys that we feature here quite a bit. Not all at the same time, mind you….well….at least not yet. One can only hope, no? Heh. (Amber Edit: No, my hope is going into the “I hope we NEVER see it” realm.)
The guys may not “be” together but they do pretty much all interact with one another and NO ONE is off limits in these fics. Parents, friends, managers, other band mates. Nor are any ::ahem:: adult situations off limits either. It’s all gold my friends, GOLD.
Conducting Research
And because we are dedicated bloggers, Amber and I spent the last two days going through all the stories to bring you the very best.
Now, before we proceed here, let us tell you first that it takes some big cojones to publish any type of writing online where anyone can see it. So, we are not here to bash authors….but let’s be honest here….this was at times verra second hand embarrassing to sift through. So for the sake of everyone involved we will be using fake names– to protect the guilty innocent.
Now onto the goods:
Amber’s Picks
I had to, right off the bat, go and find the one and only, um Shmarcus fic there was. Cause, you know, I have an unhealthy obsession with him. Okay, I do with all the guys but you knew this already. I mean, look around…. Yep, this one is called Drawn to You and you will L-O-V-E the synopsis!
Remma loves to draw. People, no musicians, are Remma’s favorite drawing subjects. Remma’s dad runs a small bar in New York City, ‘The Yellow Submarine’, where many up and coming artist come to play. It is also a great hole in the wall bar where many celebrities will come to have a quiet night of drinking with good music.
When Remma returns home to the bar to help her dad after the death of her older brother, Remma meets a new group of people who change her life. One of whom is instantly drawn to her.
Guess who that one is?!? SQUEE! Mad points to this one for trying to use English terms appropriately, making, er, Cam Smadley a party animal (what’s new?) and for the lead female’s first run in with Cam being at the show at Poor David’s Pub in Dallas. I was there, too! I should’ve found this chick and made friends! (LiLi Edit: Damn! You could’ve totes been IN this story!) (Amber Edit: I know, right?!?)
The next, um, recommendation (?) from me is a fic with a whole bunch of peeps. Like, everyone, except Shmarcus. People are making me sad by leaving out Shmarcus. C’mon, I love me some Shmarcus.
We Won’t Run is only 3 chappys in and it is quite an interesting conundrum (look at that $10 word) the lead female character has herself in. Just read this and TELL me you are not intrigued!
Wacueline is a musician from London who’s fate leads her to meet Lobby Bong. The two seem perfect for one another and it doesn’t take long for the pair to fall in love. Lobby invited Wac on tour with him to the states. When their tour takes them to Vancouver, CA; that’s when everything changes.
Temptation lures Wac into realms of desire she never new existed, and starts a love affair with not one, but two men.
Dun, dun DUUUUUUUUN! Who is the man who solidifies temptation? Spoiler alert… it’s Cam Schmadley! ::gasp::
Mega cool points to this story for making a love triangle with two of the guys, adding in a very famous friend (He Who’s Name Must Not Be Spoken on This Site) and making him a major c*ckblock, and for single handedly making me blush like an 8 year old who just heard the word boob, or accidentally changed the channel to Skinemax. (LiLi Edit: HAHAHA! YES! Like when you first find the goodness of late night TV and you know you shouldn’t watch but you can’t help it. All the while clutching the remote so you can change the channel if your parents walk in. Well, that’s what I’ve heard happens.)
LiLi’s Picks
Man. This was hard (TWSS). There were so many that I wanted to include but because of time and decency (cause there are some doozies there. Some real hum-dingers– literally). But if I have to pick two, then it’s gotta be these two:
The first really doesn’t need a whole lot of summary because it’s based on a certain singer’s song, Passport, and is aptly titled, Passport. So you know– strip clubs, the strippers in these clubs, bathrooms, alcohol, and yes a passport is involved. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions.
The second on my list is a Lobby Bong story called, My Only. Lobby and his long-time girlfriend, Bambry, break up, get back together, suffer the distance while he’s on tour– SPOILER ALERT– get married and may or may not have little manbanged babies together. It’s all angst, all the time. And, again, a Certain Someone, is once again a big ol’ c*ckblocker in this story. Heh. And everyone makes an appearance in this story– and I mean, everyone. (Amber Edit: She does. Seriously. It’s like 7 degrees of Lobby Bong.) Genius. All of it. Although, man, did it make me blush. Srsly. I was kept looking over my shoulder to see if anyone could see what I was reading. Probs didn’t help that I was researching reading these at work.
So that’s it my dear readers– that’s all we have for you today. I hoped you liked this Friday’s edition of FanFicFriday!

I’m dying over here. DYING.
I’m actually kind of speechless. Which is weird.
How did I not know that these kinds of fics existed?
(PS…my coworkers thank you both for making me snortlaugh at work.)
The past 2 days have been me and LiLi laughing, blushing and all around drawing much attention to ourselves at work.
And it was SO worth it!
I bet you could go for more Shmarcus too, huh?
No lie. I’m having some withdrawals. But I did get my personal trainer hooked on his music. She’s going to start using a couple of his songs in her Pilates classes. =)
I’m also fighting the urge to hunt down these fics. It’s like Eve trying not to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. LOL
You know where I am… and you know I will be that slithery snake if you need me to be!
P.S. If they played Marcus during my yoga time, it’d probably eff up my whole breathing thang. Too busy squeeing.
I think it might squick me out. I mean, I’ve met & hugged these guys you know? I would completely blush the whole time. But I..ahem…will keep it in mind. LOL
And I just realized that I’ve replied to myself. D’oh.
LiLi Edit: HAHAHA– you ol’ self replier, you!
Pange– NO! Don’t do it! Resist the temptation! You will never be the same.
I felt all weird inside after reading some of these. And not in that good way. Its more like I watched a friend’s sex tape and now it’s all awkward cause I know what their cash and prizes look like. Trust.
As one of the authors on the above mentioned site, i would like to thank you so much for embarrassing my friends. Yes this was out there for anyone to see, but we honestly didn’t expect a blog to be written about it, just people who like us enjoyed reading and writing fan fiction. As for your blushing and giggling, are you going to tell me that none of you have ever read a harlequin romance novel? they happen to be quite a bit more graphic then any of our stories ever were. Thanks to your little blog above our site is no longer up, and we no longer have a place to share our common intrests.
Honestly, no, I have never read a harlequin romance novel. But I have read other fan fiction. And plenty of it. And that stuff does make me blush, giggle and sometimes inwardly cringe. But I still read it, which is how I found the site that you write for. I am very sorry that the site is no longer up but we did not provide any links to said site on purpose– so as to not advertise the location or where to find it. As for embarrassing your friends, that was not our intention, as we stated twice in our post. Again, we left out names and direct links to profiles and such to keep the authors private.
Hey. As a fan of both fan fiction and the Brit Pack (gotta love those boys), I am always interested to hear about the two being combined.
So, I just have to ask. Did you actually enjoy any of those stories or not? Cos you sound…. gleefully mocking at times and downright condescending at others. And you’ve repeated that your intention wasn’t to embarrass anyone, so I have to wonder what your intention was. If you’re not going to share the links, so that other people can judge for themselves, I’m not sure what your purpose is, except to perhaps try to make yourselves feel superior by making fun of others? I guess that’s a valid thing to do if it makes you feel good, although not something I particularly admire.
Not that we can judge for ourselves now anyway, as apparently this site has been removed. Good work there, guys.
But then, you guys poke fun at what you like. So…. this was a backhanded compliment to those authors?
Have to admit I’m left feeling a little confused.
I apologize for the delay in getting your comment approved.
Truthfully, I did see your comment this past Saturday, while on vacation, but decided to wait until I got home so I could respond properly. I had this whole list of reasons/motivations for why we posted and the way we did all written out– but then I erased it. Why? Because, I realized it doesn’t matter, does it? My answers will never be good enough for those that I have offended with this post. Amber and I knew that going in– but that is true for anything we post here. We will never make everyone happy all of the time with our post/opinions/commentary– and believe me, we have gotten some pretty strong opinions about some of our past posts. In the end, you are entitled to your opinion and us to ours– so let’s just agree to disagree, yes?
True, you have a valid point, although I would have been curious to see what those reasonings were, since it sounds like you had some.
So, you knew you were going to offend people going in? Or you knew that your reasonings weren’t going to be good enough going in? Yeah, confused again. But I’m having one of those days it would appear.
And I’m happy to agree to disagree. Story of my life lately.
[...] As for my least favorite song– well– (SPOILER ALERT) I will have to agree with Amber on this one– it’s “Passport”. I mean, we do share a brain after all, but my reasons are slightly different. I really do love the song. A lot. But after stumbling across a certain work of fiction ::coughFanFictioncough:: that is based on this song, I can’t really listen to it without images from that story ::ahem:: popping up. It’s forever changed for me. And please, no comments on the fanfic reference. Believe me, we learned our lesson last time. [...]
