Hello everyone out there!
I've not had time to work on new stories due to a massive workload at school, but I recently found this site where there a number of Manics fanfics have been posted (including some slash), see the sidebar on the left for titles: http://graspthesanity.blogspot.com.br/

Hope you enjoy,
~Marilyn

Title: Release
Author: memememe
Rating: PG-13? NC-17?
Warnings: BDSM-esque, kink?, blood
Pairing: Richey/James
Author's notes: After the 4 real incident. I remember watching or reading some interview/documentary where James says something about how he thought Richey had something in him that he didn’t have. I took this to be 1) insanity, 2) self-control, 3) ambition. Another interview I read had Richey stating that he thought cutting/self-injury in general was sexual in nature. This could be literal or not, but in this little fic it's literal. I felt like there was a lot of unused potential here; don't get too exited. It's worth a laugh. Also, this was kind of hard to write since kink isn't much up my alley.

Title: i actually did have one but I forgot oops.
Author: Me
Rating: Everyone
Warnings: None really.
Word count: Just over 800

Pairing: Nicky/Richey
Author's notes: Shittily-written, un-beta-ed one-shot where absolutely nothing happens, neither plot nor porn sadly. Basically, it's Nicky being all longing, and not much else. It seems a bit dead round here so I thought I'd try and revive it with a fic AS I HAVE NO WHERE ELSE TO GO, and I have a silly number of stories of this ilk that need a home. FD hates my guts and I would use Tumblr but I have stupid rl friends on their who don't necessarily need to know how much of a pervert I am. But yeah, basically. I am going to continue spamming in the vain hope there is an audience out there somewhere, and perhaps the epic direness of my writing will inspire some of you to write something too, just to save the_drowners from becoming bad!fic central ;)

Title: Devil in the Details II
Author: moi
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Once again, fairly melodramatic. There's talk of blood. Someday I'll write a happy fic, I promise!
Pairing: Nicky/Richey
Author's notes: This leaves off directly from “Devil in the Details” with Nicky who put Richey in the shower to revive him after he passed out drunk. Some sort of psychological co-dependence thing going on here. An unsatisfying ending... but how to end it?

Title: Generic R/N fic
Author: [info]hollowromance 
Rating: PG-13? It's very tame sexually but it's a little bit angsty sooo.... 
Pairing: Nicky/Richey
Warnings: Language, bad writing, dialogue-heavy, completely un-beta-ed so quite possibly spelling mistakes, misused punctuation, etc; length, terrible characterisation, unsatisfying ending, I'm not really selling this am I? But no, nothing to make a fuss about.
Summary: This is an exploration of possible feelings between the pair once Richey had finally moved into his flat by Cardiff Bay shortly after Nicky got married (according to my sources, this is how it went, anyway.) I worry that perhaps I've interpretated the time-line wrong, and I think I've implied Nicky is only just-married in the fic when I think it could've been months in real life. But hopefully it doesn't matter too much. 
Word Count: 3500 approx.
Author’s Notes: I used this timline for reference, but all 'historical' mistakes are my own. I'm also a new poster to this wonderful community and have been reading your equally brilliant fics for a while now, so wanted to try one myself. Hi! *waves madly* I apologise, because I'm nowhere near as good as you lot on here, but I hope you appreciate nonetheless. I will start commenting now too! :3 I haven't written slash fiction in over a year, and this is my first ever attempt at Manics-fic on the whole, so I'm a little shaky. I do hope to improve my dubious, um ~skills~ though! Sorry if formatting comes out didgy, I shall try and rectify it is it does so.
Disclaimer: This never happened. It's all lies. No offence intended to those involved. Etc.

Title: Devil in the Details
Author: avskum (me!)
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Possibly triggering. It is slightly dramatic in parts, but c'mon, it's a Manics community!
Pairing: Nicky/Richey
Author's notes: This is my first fanfic! I'm terrified! Anyway, more to come if you wonderful people like it. This is fairly soft in terms of what goes on sexually, but part II will definitely go a bit... deeper, shall we say?

Here is a central place where members (and anonymous commenters) can leave plot ideas as a comment, from fleshed-out descriptions to flecks of inspiration. The purpose of this is to serve as a place where writers can look for ideas and where readers can leave the ideas they'd like to see fulfilled.

Below the cut I've included a list of LJ comms that are useful for prompts (kink memes and the like). Thanks m0drnmoonlight for the suggestion! Hope you all find this useful. See also http://the-drowners.livejournal.com/tag/prompt for past prompts.

March 2011's theme...is "Darkness"!
3/1/2011 at 12:00 AM through 3/31/2011 at 11:59 PM


The theme can be interpreted in any meaning of the word as you see fit, so long as you explained how you used the prompt in notes prior to the story's beginning and/or it is evident within the story itself. For example, the theme of "darkness" could refer to something to do with an unlit location, taking place at night, "dark" themes (Wiki: "darkness can also mean the presence of shadows, evil, or depression", or maybe used as a symbol / metaphor...it's up to you! If you are posting an entry (i.e. story, poem, multi-chaptered - any type of Manics-centric literature) responding to this prompt in the month of March, please tag it with prompt challenge.

As usual, the_drowners members are free to continue posting stories that are not in response to this prompt as well throughout this month and following months when other prompts should arise. Members can post questions, suggestions for fic ideas matching this theme for others to be inspired by, or other remarks to this post regarding the prompt challenge. Have fun! :)

Mod note: Sorry for the slight delay in getting this month's theme up!

I got told to advertise it here.

I made a random pairings generator the other night. It includes all members of The Manics and The Horrors, plus other British musicians I've either written before, or I felt like throwing in.

http://underbluemoon.weebly.com/generator-terrorists.html

Some of the suggestions might be a bit cracky, you can always refresh until you find something you like.

I'm open to any complaints or suggestions you might have.

February 2011's theme...is "Heart"!

For example, the theme of "heart" could refer to something to do with Valentine's Day, a heart motif appearing, references to a "broken heart" or "strong-hearted"-ness, or maybe used as
a symbol / metaphor...it's up to you! If you are posting an entry (i.e. story, poem, multi-chaptered - any type of Manics-centric literature) responding to this prompt in the month of February, please tag it with prompt challenge.
