It's Throwback Fandom Friday in the DMs!
(discussing the latest X Ambassadors song)
rhysiana: They're from Ithaca. Holster must stan
Rans probably knows and are into them too hundo p
betweenthepies: Hey Child also hurts (and is fic fodder)
rhysiana: So many X Ambassadors songs contain fic titles
betweenthepies: genre: fic titles
rhysiana: It's an important musical niche
betweenthepies: we wouldn't be anywhere without song fics
also back to holster - so many remixes of their stuff exist he's definitely having the time of his life
rhysiana: Since we know Holsom read fic, I propose: it's his signature as a fic writer that all his fics have X Ambassadors titles
betweenthepies: yesssssssssss
boom (all lowercase of course) is either the hardhitter ficlet that blows you away with only 500 words or the 200k+ longfic that has been destroying his fandom for years
rhysiana: We know he's not stressed about his classes, I vote for the longfic. It's what he works on while Rans is melting down about a test he's going to ace.
To get meta with it: Holsom fic told in the form of Holster's author's notes at the beginning of each chapter
betweenthepies: Omg yesss that's genius
rhysiana: It's probably fic for, like, 30 Rock, but I'm simply not willing to watch an entire sitcom to flesh out a fictional man's fictional fic
I do feel like I should at least write this convo up as a Tumblr post, for nostalgia's sake
betweenthepies: for us old hands in the OMGCP fandom
