We think it's just Dandy.

Original poster: machka

I know this comm has been waaaaaay too quiet recently -- we're all kind of caught up in the Tulsa Boys and the Band of Ultimate Hotass and The Album and the OMG DAVID ON MY TEE-VEE and the appearances and all....

But Dandy remains a valid pairing, dammit!! *stamps feet impatiently*

And I've seen a few new faces pop up on the members list lately, so I figured I should do one of these fic master-list things, so it's easier for all you pervs new readers to find the good stuff.

The list is arranged alphabetically by author. Within each author's category, the fics are listed either by series (if multi-chaptered) or alphabetically by fic title. Each fic's rating is also listed, so you have a bit of a head's up what you're getting into, but be sure to read any and all author's notes before reading further.

Also note: Although the main pairing is David Cook/Andy Skib, many of these fics have "guest appearances" from others in the Cookverse (ie Neal Tiemann, Jeff Shrout, etc.) -- these should be clearly noted in each fic's headers, so do pay attention to those if you are a strict "zOMGz Dandy iz teh OTP" kind of reader. :P

And readers -- show the authors some love. They put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears work into these fics, and even a "♥!!" comment showing that their work is appreciated is better than nothing. :) "Go on and feed (their) ego..."

Author Notes:Merry Christmas kaia_kyrial! I'm not sure if this is anything like what you had in mind, but it's got Dave and Andy and boys kissing (among other things) so hopefully it'll be close enough. Written for the xmascookies fic exchange. The title is shamelessly stolen from Gavin DeGraw, from the song Follow Through. Thanks to [my beta], for the stealth-like beta read.

At one point on the road he's still on, leading from "American Idol" to the iPod promotions and summer shed tours of actual rock stardom, David Cook recently stopped for a bite to eat. In the car with him was Raine Maida, the Canadian singer and songwriter who fronts Our Lady Peace, a band Cook famously loves.

Title: Northern Cross
Rating: PG-13 for some swearing.
Pairing: David Cook/Andy Skib, mentions of Neal Tiemann and his bad-ass dog, Mr. Sixx
Summary: When you can't find the words to say how you feel, give him the moon and the stars.
Word Count: 4082
Disclaimer: Fiction, as always.
Notes: This started out as a songfic, but it was so wordy, I stripped out the song lyrics from the fic itself.  My inspiration was a song called Northern Cross, as recorded by Cry Cry Cry.  It had been on heavy repeat for the past few weeks due to the fact that it references Tulsa.  Oh, and why, yes, we are card-carrying members of the local astronomical society, and yes, my drunk ass did go outside to the sandbox at Plan B and find Beta Cyg in Tulsa, because I am a hard-core nerd like that.

Edit:  Because the muses like research, I made a research and errata post on my LJ for anyone who's really interested in the specifics of the symbolism, etc. used in this fic.  Added 9/20/08.

Extra-special thanks to machka for beta, cheerleading, and encouragement, and to annie2791 , who told me she didn't care what I wrote, she wanted it, and to write it anyway.  :)  I swear, I'd have thrown myself off a bridge ages ago were it not for those two.  :)

So I mentioned in a post about the THH fanmail address that we might possibly do a sort of holiday greeting.... thing for Andy (and Dave) for Christmas this year, if it's something that enough people would be interested in being involved in. So, here's a poll, gauging interest and also what members might contribute. (think of it as preparation for election day, happy voting!)

[Error: Invalid poll ID 1282314]Anything else, discuss in the comments. Thanks!

They (along with the Word Nerd Home) have been working on a giant project to try and get Andy booked on the Ellen DeGeneres show (with Andy's blessing, BTW) -- here's the relevant part of their update, and an opportunity for everyone to show their support:

Most importantly, the Andy for Ellen project is all but ready to go. The last thing the team needs is a revamp of the list, to make it look longer. Of course, we want it to be authentic as well, so we want real people. Anyone who wants to add to the numbers, please PM crams83 or go to the Andy4Ellen thread [registration required? dunno... ~machka] in the Projects forum. YOU DO NOT NEED A WORD HERO NUMBER OR WHATEVER to be apart of this. Andy just needs your support. (For anyone who doesn't know, this project is about getting Andy on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, in order to boost his marketability and put him out there on a bigger platform.) -Please do it ASAP, Monday night latest-

I haven't seen this done in this community, but the idea of giving pictures funny captions in MS paint is pretty popular in the Mavid community. So I gave it a try with some Dandy pictures (Also with bonus Neal!) and I hope you guys enjoy them!

HI I'M A GIGANTIC ENABLER NERD.

This post is for _workinprogress, who mentioned the possibility of Neal!picspam in this thread, because she wanted to get a feel for his personality before she felt like she could acquiesce to my demands write him properly.

yeah right -- you just wanted a bag full of eye-candy. I C WHAT U DID THAR.

So, being the wonderful fic h0r person that I am, I done brought it.

COMMENCE LULZ.

( ...And the only way I can get away with this, you realize, is because most of these pictures feature Andy with the Dr, and *that's* mostly because they were stolen from Andy's online photo albums.... *iz a ttl thief* )

Yeah, there's a massive amount of speculation, but no direct confirmation, that Andy will be joining Neal in David's band. Here's what Rickey recorded after the last THH cellcast on 9-23-08 - the "informant" is "WorkingManders":
