Ohmygod, you absolutely made my day-- thank you so much for dropping by to say that, it genuinely makes me so happy!! BGSO is supposed to be my “forever WIP” fic that I wanted to consistently update to work on my writing and character voicing particularly, so I’m ecstatic that you like my depictions of the gang!

I haven’t explicitly said it (except in a comment response on AO3 just a few minutes ago), but I’ve been on an unspoken writing hiatus since I got my new drawing tablet a couple months ago. So basically, creative writing effort has only gone into the song parodies recently haha...

But, I’m excited to say that after finishing stuff for Valentines Day, I’ll be starting up BGSO again alongside a new series with BTHB! I’ve really missed writing (especially that fic, since I have so many things planned for it still), so I’m absolutely looking forward to spend time on it again!

Chapter 9 of BGSO: Prelude to a Kiss (Part 1)

Church brings drinks to Caboose’s place for Simmons’ first poker night with the Reds and Blues. The red team’s nerd seems like the kind of dude Church would get along with.

Chapter 8 of BGSO: I’ve Got You Under My Skin

Simmons Bassbooks his coworkers on his way back home, picking up some grub from the restaurant below his little studio apartment. Grif keeps leaving him presents.

Bassbook usernames:

orange u mad = Grif

Simmons = Simmons

PinkTacoCat = Donut

RED-OR-DEAD = Sarge

deBOOSEy = Caboose

deFragmented = Church

Aquaman_ExceptWetter = Tucker

Chapter 7 of BGSO: Mean To Me

Wash and Maine hang out at Outpost 48-A to grab some coffee before rehearsal on a lovely Friday morning. Some nerd walks in and hangs out with him. He’s kinda awkward, but seems nice.

(Crud I keep forgetting to link the song titles in the fic now that the jazz plot has started, I’ll do it tomorrow when I’m less lazy...)

Chapter 4 of BGSO: Blue Skies

Chapter 5 of BGSO: All My Tomorrows

Simmons goes to a bar to see his favorite local pianist, drinking his troubles away after his first rehearsal.

(I’m proud of my pun of calling Doyle’s piano bar Harmonia. My greatest achievement this chapter.)

Chapter 2 of BGSO: Red Clay

Our favorite not-cyborg meets some dudes who have, for unknown reasons, dubbed their section Red Team.

I thought of a neat little idea, for when we have the roster more built out, of making a seating chart and concert program to help keep track of everyone (“neat”– my nerd sirens are blaring inside my head right now and that’s okay. ha ha. yeahhh.). But for now, have a janky list of who we’ve met/know exists so far:

Principal Trumpet: Simmons

2nd Trumpet: Grif

F Horn: Donut

Trombone: Sarge

Tuba: Lopez

Frequent substitute: Doc

Chapter 3 of BGSO: Out of Nowhere

Simmons goes through his first rehearsal, gets a little humiliated, and finds out Grif is pretty good.
