Mibba's Thoughts: Strangest Writing

Writing comes in all shapes and sizes: from good to bad to just plain weird. Nearly every writer has that one piece of their writing that they know is bizarre.

In this week's edition of Mibba's Thoughts, Mibbians discuss the weirdest thing they've ever written.

I wrote a oneshot for my best friend's birthday a year or two ago about James Maslow falling in love with a potted palm tree, which was hilarious to write because it was a chance to just be random and not worry about making things look pretty or the situation being "realistic."

I started one where Frank was an almost-zombie-like-being that was held captive in an abandoned shack in the middle of the forest by Gerard. It was actually an awesome idea and all, but I just have such a ridiculous attention span that it's never been finished.

I also started a zombie apocalypse fic inspired by Dawn of the Dead and Planet Terror, where MCR and the wives hide out in a mall when the zombies come. Frank is Gerard's ex who just rolled into town when it happened, Gerard is an alcoholic, and Ray is a doctor. Again, it was this awesome thing that I've never finished because I suck.

I once wrote a drabble at 3 am. My dad had to go to the hospital and I was home alone, working on around three hours sleep and ended up staying up until 5 am writing. None of it made sense. At one point I had it posted here, but have since come to my senses and deleted it.

I think I compared dogs to lobsters.

I started a story called Agaricaceae Teonanactyl about an amateur mycologist who's gathering mushrooms in the woods, misidentifies and eats a hallucinogenic mushroom, and then has a series of hallucinations involving his mother, Elvis Presley, and a woman who claims to be the patron saint of all hipsters.

It was a comedy, and it was actually getting pretty good. I should finish it.

- waits.

The weirdest thing I ever wrote was a co-write with my exgirlfriend. We were on the phone together practically pissing our pants laughing as we wrote a parody of an old-english style novel because we'd just read 'My Immortal' and thought a story with MCR using words like 'thou' wrongly would be funny.
