Uh, greetings. Apparently I am somewhat of an asshat, and I've gotten it in my head (heart?) that 510 AU's where Justin dies are the coolest thing since sliced bread. I deeply desire wishing-for-what-could-have-been!Brian.

Help a sister fellow out? :D

ETA: Links in comments to the death. Of course, now I've realized I'm one of those weepy people, so living in a hole is starting to sound nice.

Me too. These type of posts will one day make me leave this group. Reading that someone gets off on Justin dying is not how I want to start my day.

Bah hah. I don't actually get off on Justin dying. Note, I didn't put out a search for necrophilia fics. I am, though, interested in different people's interpretations of Brian grieving. Because it would have been devastating, don't you think, if Justin had died. All the what ifs. I don't think it's happy, and I don't want something happy, but I do think Brian's reaction to an unexpected death would be interesting to see. I'm not celebrating the idea of a character I really love (though I think he is indecisive as all hell, but that's life) dying, I just think it would be an interesting take.

Seriously, I'm not asking for death porn. Or suicide fic. I probably didn't phrase my search in a fitting manner, but I'm just not inclined to be serious.

A lot of us are serious about Brian and Justin. Your post was enough to make me quit the group. People who are interested reading about Justin's death are not worth associating with.

And here I thought this was a group dedicated to acceptance of alternative and open ways of thinking. I guess this fandom is as closed minded as the rest.

[fopperies.livejournal.com]

Cowlip would weep at the close mindedness of their fans.

Thanks for not digging at me. xD

No problem, I like a good death!fic here and there, the NaNo one made me feel all tingly and sad like. I realllly like death fics when one dies and the last one is a line where the other follows, it is just so perfect.

Gotta ask, what is the situation around your icon?

[fopperies.livejournal.com]

Oh, you are so after my own heart.

When Ted gets the announcement for B/J's wedding. 512, I think?

[hangebokhan.livejournal.com]

OOOOOOOOH! And, i don't try to be, I just am ^^

I would apologize, but, 5. We do not discriminate against fan works based on author talent, porn content, completeness, popularity . . . or even ship. ;-) All searches welcome.

I do feel bad about pushing you to quit, though. It's not as if we're really associating. I sincerely doubt I'll ever post again, much less make bi-weekly hunts for fics that include HIV, Suicide, Homicide, Poison...patricide. (What? Craig is an ass)

And, what I meant by not being serious, was that I don't take life seriously. I'm very mellow, and I tend to pick fun at everything short of nuclear explosions. I do really love QAF, though, and I hope you don't leave. I'm really not worth it.

...Are you serious? Seriously serious? (and not about B/J, ha, but this post...) I don't see what the problem is. I doubt anyone here is getting off on Justin dying. Death is a very big and very emotional part of life (duh) - it's cathartic and a welcome *emotional* release, at times, to experience it through characters that we love. And sometimes a good deathfic is just what I need - it nearly kills me to see the character go...but that's kind of the point.

If *she* weren't "serious" about Brian and Justin, I doubt Justin deathfics would hold any interest. You cry over someone you care about.

And sometimes you need a good cry.

PS - bookgirl, I think you've handled this thread amazingly. Sorry, my pockets are empty in the way of deathfics, but if I ever find any worth phoning home about, I'll let you know.

[fopperies.livejournal.com]

(Under the assumption that I'm bookgirl :D)

I handled it amazingly? If I was half as eloquent as you, perhaps I wouldn't have come off as such huge of an ass.

Seriously (seriously), thank you for the support. And, uh, everything you said, in defense to my post. ;)

[ayslin.livejournal.com]

Erm, yes, you would be bookgirl. Apparently my page scrolling ability leaves something to be desired. :P

I don't think you came off as an ass - at least not to people who didn't have their heads stuck up their own to begin with. You gave much more respectful answers to comments than I would have, that's for sure. Death might not be everyone's cuppa, but such is life. I mean, I don't like feet. That doesn't make me a good or bad person. It makes me a person who doesn't like feet.
