I have moved most of my posts to storage. I really enjoyed my time with deviantART. I met some great people, like weitmare and wildmonky, and I had the chance to read and view some great writing and artwork. I appreciate anyone and everyone who watched me, faved something, or commented. I never meant to leave, but, as we all know, life gets busy and things change. I now feel that deviantART is a good memory of my past work, but not a place that I wish to continue posting my future things. I will, however, keep my frerards and some art up, simply because I did some of the art as a gift to a friend, and everyone could use a little reminder of love, which is what frerard does. Good luck to everyone in their future endeavors.

:heart: ElectroBaby


P.S. For the Frerard watchers, I am posting them on LiveJournal.
riotatawedding.livejournal.com… me with a message about being on dA, and I'll be happy to add you.

Okay, so first off, I'm a horrible person who's life has gotten so busy, she even mixed up the dates on when her Frerard contest was over. Thank goodness I realized when I woke up this morning that I'd said the 10th, not the 12th. So sorry to all who waited. I am going to judge right now! But before I do, I'm going to point out what I liked about each story because I have time, and I think you guys deserve that. Thank you so much for entering! I'm excited and thankful to get to read about one of my favorite pairings!!!!!

weitmare 's Crush weitmare.deviantart.com/art/Cr…

I loved the chemistry in this story, and I don't mean the class :D You captured the teenage insecurities, the excitement of a new crush, and of course, the fluffiness at the end. An adorable story that made me smile.

Rageandlove77's All for love rageandlove77.deviantart.com/a…

I really like how you incorporated the picture, giving good details to the interview action. I also really enjoyed how you described Frank looking at Gerard. For a first one shot, I'd like to say you did well and that the situation was believable and awww worthy :D

kaytieway2's Simple Stage Kiss kaytieway2.deviantart.com/art/…

Love Gerard's mischievousness :D And I found Frank's inner commentary hilarious, reminding me of the crazy things we say to ourselves when we like someone. The way you formatted it made it easy to follow the story, and overall, I'd say it was a very enjoyable explanation of how Frerard got started.

IMGir156's A Presence in Waking imgir156.deviantart.com/art/A-…

An interesting and almost abstract kind of piece. It's not your typical Frerard, with it's pretty somberness. It was interesting to see what was gotten out of the picture, and I give kudos for taking it in a new direction.

blackphoenix14's Fish Lips blackphoenix14.deviantart.com/…

Once again, I like how this person used the picture. Beautifully written, I felt like I'd stumbled on Gerard's thoughts or a love letter he kept hidden in a drawer. The intimacy and confidence they shared was evident, and anyone who can incorporate the phrase Fish Lips and make it sound so poetic gets huge props from me.

xthedreamisrealx's The Kiss .:Trust Me:. xthedreamisrealx.deviantart.co…

This was the last entry I received. Let me just say that I was a little worried about this picture because it could possibly limit the writer's creativity. That is the last thing I think happened with this story. Well written, I felt in touch with Frank's thoughts, like I knew him, which makes you care about his character. Her style didn't use dialogue, and yet she captured that time in MCR's life and with their "I'm Not Okay" video believably without it. A stable beginning and a strong end, this piece was solid all the way through. So that is why, I would like to say congratulations to the winner of the contest. You blew my socks off, and I thank you for writing such a wonderful one shot.

And thank you again to everyone who participated. You guys all had your own styles and your own great stories to tell. I am honored and delighted to get to read all of these! Please continue in writing, whether it is Frerard or otherwise. :heart:

Today is August 22nd, 2008. It has been two years to the day that Stephanie and I met and befriended one another, and I'd just like to say to Stephanie, Happy Anniversary, I heart you!, and here's to friendship. :heart:


And in honor of this momentous occasion, I told Steph I would throw a little Frerard Contest, as she and I both love an excuse to read some good Frerard. So, any Frerard writers out there or people that just want to try their hands at it, you are so welcome and encouraged to brighten our lives a little more with your marvelous stories, whether they be heartbreaking or cotton candy blissful.

So this is how it works. Contest is set to run exactly two weeks and ends on Sept. 5th.

Note me (and this was inspired by IMGir156's contest from not too long ago) and I will link you to a photo that I will have picked of Gerard and Frank together, and that photo will serve as your inspiration. Everyone will have a different photo. There will only be one winner.

All of this is done in the spirit of fun and for Frerard lovers' enjoyment :D So if you're interested, note me. I am hopeful and excited to see at least a few entries.

Update!: The Contest HAS BEEN EXTENDED to SEP 10TH!!!! Sorry to all for my absence, I just started classes.

Okay, so I waited on getting a handful of entries before making this journal update, but I feel as July is almost over, I've put it off way too long, becoming caught up with other projects and personal things. My apologies to those who've waited for responses. I'm really bad at checking things sometimes and will only get on dA for like a second for days on end.

So August and July will be featured together.

July's entries:

And the Months- JulyJuly is the first song I heard you sing.
In our sitting room silence,
you cracked open the atmosphere
and drenched it with its own feelings.
There was more heart in that voice
than in any of the boys I'd ever
beat for in my adolescence.
I swear the whole world forgot to breathe
in those three minutes, thirteen seconds
your voice caressed the air.
I know I did
as I softly loved you
in a slow arpeggio of affection.
Now I know when July approaches
from the dusk of June because
she sings sweet lullabies
to me of you.

1. LoveShotEyes's And The Months-July

PossessionThrough these July weeks
I've been haunted by
experiences orphaned,
lost and wandering in
the badlands of death.
I've been overcome
by the intensity of
a stranger’s anguish,
erupting from the maelstrom
of existence, I am drawn,
I must succumb. My dreams
darken. They are no longer
my own.
             The terrible plight of
a child murdered on daylight
streets,
            the cruel fate of a
blameless man, driven by
the officious mob of law-enforcing
bigots to create his own untimely end.
Possessed, hypnotised
I must rely for exorcism on my pen.

4. Silica-Streak's Sick Novella

I'm won overWinning over, my heart is spilled
Spilling over, I’m drowning in blood
Death’s edge never bypasses
Slowly I pledge the love never ceases
Surely goodness will conquer, faith alongside
Monsters in anchor, I’m held with pride
Let not no other fan this fate
For my country, my love, my hate.
With every breath, a promise of its own
Father, mother, sister, and thrown
My life taken, a dream in this state
A wish for my own life, a long for rebate.
Casting for soldiers, only one life to give
Jesus my savior brings my hand to his crib.
Love eternal, a dice in midair
No need for a pardon, I am free, all clear.

August's entries:

:thumb93966179:
1. Silica-Streak's Color Clash.

And the Months...AugustAugust means morning:
those hours when the blankets
can't tell the difference
between you and I,
when sunlight tries
to coax us out of bed
- and our eyelids don't bite,
when the world melts
beyond the feeling of
your fingers on my waist,
etching dreams on my skin.
It is sleepy eyes, blinking I love you
and how you never wake before twelve.
It is your mumbling lips
and my memorising eyes.
August is the race back
to waking and to this.

2. LoveShotEyes's And the Months...August.

The Tanks Are Rolling AgainThe tanks are rolling again,
this time across the far Eastern fringes
of the European plain.
The tanks are rolling again,
the insignia is neither Imperial or Red,
the modern Russian army is Federal
but the tanks are still the same.
Corpses of livestock, charred and bloated,
Barns and cottages burned to the ground.
The politics is ever changing,
the tanks are still the same,
rolling across the European plain.
The luckiest peasants are now
destitute and homeless, drained
of hope for their future, gazing
on their acres of ruined crops.
The dead at least have no further
need to worry. Some things are
unchanging, the tanks are still the same.
The tanks are rolling again.

...For a brief feature from our host.

Hi there. So apparently, giving lit features is the new cool thing to do, (well, it's always been cool but my buds weitmare and wildmonky are getting my attention with it at the moment) and since no one wants to be uncool, I decided I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon.

But seriously, there's some pretty dang good stuff comin' out of the woodworks lately, so I went over some recent lit favorites and decided that I'm going to give some love while there aren't any July submissions really to feature yet for the A Year In The Making Contest.

So let the lit love commence!

My first feature is for

:iconweevilgirl:.

1. Today ( weevilgirl.deviantart.com/art/… ) Poem. Left me staring in awe. Start and keep reading. You'll be glad you did.

:iconmeadowcress:

2. Holiday Rush ( meadowcress.deviantart.com/art… ) Prose. My lips still turn up in a smile when I read this.

:iconfrazzled-mage:

3. Bolshevik Mistress ( frazzled-mage.deviantart.com/a… ) Poem. Oh, so witty.

:iconladylazarus:

4. Suicide of a Celebrity ( ladylazrus.deviantart.com/art/… ) Poem. Read, stop, and think.

:iconqueenhrosie:

5. The Last Three Poems Left ( queenhrosie.deviantart.com/art… ) Poem. You'll wish there were more than three.

:iconlivingcomforteagle:

6. what they say about dying men ( livingcomforteagle.deviantart.… ) Poem. Though I read it in a prose way. Vomit is a lot more beautiful to me now.

:iconweitmare:

7. "Morning's Regret: ( weitmare.deviantart.com/art/Mo… ) Prose. Okay, this is short story with chapters. I've been reading this for a while now, and it seems I'm not the only one ever waiting for the next update.

:iconthornyenglishrose:

8. Tilda ( thornyenglishrose.deviantart.c… ) Prose. A very touching story from a child.

:iconopaquediaphanousness:

9. Laundromat ( opaquediaphanousness.deviantar… ) Poem. Not just about your whites and colors.

:iconmistresschizz:

10. Comfortable Illusions ( mistresschizz.deviantart.com/a… ) Poem. I found this by chance one day. It left me feeling stuck in sleeping and waking and the images your mind conjures as you struggle to fall into one or the other.

Also, for any Fanfic Frerad lovers:

My favorite stories by my favorite Frerad writers on dA.

:iconglitter-gulch:

1. glitter-gulch 's Tales of Endurance. (starts here: glitter-gulch.deviantart.com/a… ) I'm hooked. Absolutely hooked. Please join me in having withdrawals as I wait for the next update.

:iconagoddessfinch:

2. AGoddessFinch 's Just Go For It Already ( starts here: agoddessfinch.deviantart.com/a… ) Sigh. These addictions are killing me.

:iconselfishthoughts:

3. selfishthoughts' N.O.W. ( starts here: selfishthoughts.deviantart.com… ) Complete! Two parts. Alternate endings. Love!

:iconimgir156:

4. IMGir156 's A Four Letter Word ( starts here: imgir156.deviantart.com/art/A-… ) Also, not yet finished. One of the cutest yet not cutesy fics I've ever read.

So there you have it. A little something for everyone! There are tons more, I promise, as dA is filled with talented writers galore. I'm just trying to make an attempt for one scratch of the surface.

:heart:
