Decent band fanfictions written based on characters from record label Fueled By Ramen (FBR for short) are pretty hard to come across nowadays. The label consists mainly of stories written about Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Cobra Starship, The Academy Is…, all of which are common in fandom.

Between 2007 and 2009, a lot of writers flourished while writing band fanfics, back when they were the most popular fandom on most fanfiction sites. But now, finding them is like finding a needle in a haystack. There are a mere handful of writers here on Mibba still continuing on in this all-but-dead fandom.

Fans of Fall Out Boy will remember their cult classic music video, A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Touch Me, having the band members fight off a group of vampires who are terrorizing their city. A lot of fanfiction has derived from the video, both good and, well, terrible.

The Redemption of Peter Wentz is the story of Pete Wentz and his gang of hunters attempt to bring Brendon Urie back from the evil clutches of William Beckett, the leader of the vampire clan, The Dandies. Brendon was a former Hunter who was turned by William.

The evil vampire has Brendon brain-washed, thus having him turn his back on the Hunters and joining William as his right hand man. Trying to rescue Brendon is much more difficult than they anticipated, and Pete is left making life-changing sacrifices.

Summerlin completed the story at twenty-one chapters, something she should be commended for. Most Sixteen Candles alternate universe fiction are either abandoned within a few chapters, or just plain poorly written. With the sequel, Paralians, in progress, this is a must for every Fall Out Boy fan. It sure is a walk down memory lane after reading this.
