*grin* Ah, bandom fic. And RPS in general. It's such a slippery slope. I'm pretty sure Fall Out Boy fic was my introduction to RPS. As to what constitutes "Bandom," I think it fluctuates. I know what I read: MCR, Fall Out Boy, Panic (and The Young Veins), and a glance at AO3's Bandom category gives a few more names. But don't let lack of familiarity with bands stop you from reading, particularly if it's by an author who's been work you enjoy. I usually make a google search of unfamiliar names to get some background and go on with my reading. Trust good authors to show you the way.
That video was cute, but it underlines why I never picked up Pretty.Odd. Brendon's voice is spectacular, and Ryan's is...not so much. But I love Ryan's way with words. No good ever comes of songwriters wanting vocal credit on albums (see System of a Down); it's akin to trial separation and/or marriage counseling in that by the time you're at that point you might as well start dividing assets and holding down a lawyer. And, like you said, the throwback to the sound of the 60's wasn't working for me. But Fever? Remains my jam.
If you're looking for fic recs, don't even hesitate to ask. I tend to like long stories myself.
You should come to the show on September 1st at Central Park! I have tentative plans to head down to Dragon-Con this year. If that falls through, though, I'd definitely going to join you guys. Thanks for the invite. :)
