Images needed  
I want a banner for Plans, and I haven't been able to find any good-quality screen caps of Mel and Lindsay to use in it. But hey, if I want four hundred photos of Brian and Justin's left arm pits, I can find those. Go figure. ;)

If anyone would be willing to do some S5 DVD magic for me and get me:

Mel alone, preferably in a tank top
Mel with JR
Mel and Lindsay together looking happy, maybe one of their kissing scenes
Lindsay alone
Mel and/or Lindsay with Gus

I will be happy to identify eps and scenes where such images are to be found, if that would help.

Thank you thank you!

[Update:] Thanks to neglagd and seanmegansean, I have what I need! And I'm not positively sure, but I THINK I'll have the first chapter of Decisions, the sequel to Plans, to my beta tonight.

I would be willing to help, but unfortunately I stink at magic :|

So basically, I'm just here to tell you that I reread PLANS today, and that it's so wonderful and oh so beautifully written. I especially love that they're all at the house. Yes, Lindsay's annoying, but Mel sooo makes up for that ;) The scene with B/J and JR on the sofa still killed me ... and the best thing, I haven't quite finished it this time so there's a real treat waiting for me before I go to bed.

I really needed something non-angsty today. So THANK YOU again for that fic. ♥

One of these days your feedback whore and my schmoop head/happy ending/stalker!Justin whore have to hook up then. I have the feeling they'd get along ;)

I love stalker!Justin, or as I call him, smart, determined, tough, devious!Justin. Love him.

I am far too fragile for anything other than a happy ending.

Schmoop... as long as I believe it, and it's mixed with extremely liberal doses of snark, I love it.

Also, I want to mention that in my fiction, Justin will never have short hair. See that icon? That's as short as it will ever get.

My world is such a happy place.

smart, determined, tough, devious!Justin You forgot tenacious ;) but yeah, that Justin is the best.

So am I. Actually, I'm starting to realize that a happy ending is not even enough. I can live with some angst (even though rumour has it I can't LOL), but it cannot be internal B/J angst, which for me is having the feeling they'd be better off without each other even though they are officially together. I'm weird and sappy that way, but despite my usually cynical heart, I just cannot change my belief that they will be more grateful than not for having overcome a lot of shit in their five canon years plus x post 513-months *shrug*

Schmoop HAS to have snark. I wasn't talking about all that "baby, honey, dear, Bri, Jus", handing out ILY's like candy on Halloween kind of schmoop, but the good "old-fashioned" type. Brian snarky and maybe even occasionally harsh, but then, talking with his actions, as usual.

I LOVE the hair before his PP phase. Lots of strands for Brian to play with *g* (as in this icon)

I'm sooo glad you're sharing your world, cause sometimes I need reminders ♥

I'm actually working on the sequel to Plans right this very instant, taking a break from the shit I get paid to write. I might be wrong, because RL sometimes intrudes, but it's possible I'll have something to my beta tonight.

I was going for 'too polite to ask about the sequel' *g*

So now that you told me on your own accord, please excuse me while I go squee my ass off, kthnx.

*squee* *bounce* *squee* no pressure or anything :P *squee*

Of course I am so shutting up now, so you can work in peace ;D

LOFL... i gave him brain damage and surgery and STILL refused to shave his head...

i love his pretty pretty hair...long...not girly long... mid season three, i've been broke for a while and can't afford a haircut but look isn't it fabulous all tousled and freshly fucked looking like this? long...

pretty pretty strong justin.

someday you'll throw him down a well and discover the joys that lay at the bottom of that well, but intil then... keep him strong and scheming...you do it so well...

Which is yet another reason I love you.

You're just saying that to make me horny write.

someday you'll throw him down a well and discover the joys that lay at the bottom of that well, but intil then... keep him strong and scheming...you do it so well...

I was lying in bed last night, having slept all day so not being very sleepy, thinking about the sequel to Plans and what the fuck I'd do AFTER that... that I might have to come up with some entirely original plot elements. And I immediately understood why people who write future fic throw the boys down the well, because number one, it's instant plot, and number two, fuck, I admit it... it lets you do all the things we love with the boys, to support each other and struggle and grow and try to work things out, and love each other. It's sexy and sweet and it's PLOT. And god knows it's canon, CowLip through them both down wells all the time.

So I'm not saying I won't ever throw either Brian or Justin down the well. I'm sure I will. But not just yet.

cowlip actually threw brian down wells as often as justin...unlike fanfic which has a tendancy to throw justin down them and forget that he's really really good at climbing out of them on his own.

yeah, the reason it's fun to throw justin down a well is instant protective!brian...just add well water.

that's why there's so many hostpital fics and justin and the bad man fics and abusive!ethan fics.

and i'm not pretending to be supirior, i'm relly not...i throw them down lots of wells but i just don't buy justin putting up with abuse and um...i hate writing hospital fics... which is why justin got out so quickly...

but yeah, when you're flipping through plot ideas in your head...if you're like me...you find a lot of wells and board them up quicly because sometimes the urge is really strong to just you know...push a little a whoops...did justin fall? did i do that? meep. guess we'll have to rescue him :P

I just want to take your brain out and give it a big wet kiss and a hot fudge sundae.

I also like Brian down a well ... "Tell me about Ibiza," Justin's tenderness at not pushing Brian, but totally accepting him with all his fucked up shit .... omg. I love that.

But yeah, well, of all the people on earth who know how I love my protective!Brian and Justin in the well... you're the one who knows it best. ;)

because we both suffer from a terrible disease... fanfic authordom... and bad!ficitis... when combined it gives you an irrational love of justin in a well and protective!brian...it also gives you a serious phobia about writing such things.

i get the demons out by writing one offs where justin's in a bit of a well (battlescars) or trying to make the well realistic...(everything else i've ever written that wasn't PWP)

and then there's the other cure... dominating!brian/littleboy!justin sex. then you can do that whole dyanmic...get the hot sex in and move on to a story where they're both snarky and strong.

as for taking my brain out and giving it a big wet kiss and a hot fudge sundae...next time i have a migraine... i'll take you up on that... soaking my brain in icecream sounds blissful when my own pet brain tumor acts up.

and hey bitch... you're suppposed to get back to me today about the sit com....

'sokay, i've got time but seriously... did you hate ALL my ideas?

SUN.
