(Isn't that face just darling? I thought so.) We all have that one band that makes tears swell in your eyes & your heart beat faster when you hear their songs. And there's always the one member that captures your heart quicker than you can say, "Holy smokes!" You have this instant connection with them that you don't have with any other member, a connection that's unbreakable. But just as often as that wonderful feeling of bliss described above, every band has at least one member that is deprived of the love & appreciation they deserve. And this is why I made this book; to make sure they do not go forgotten. To make damn sure that their blood, sweat, & tears don't go unappreciated to the listeners. (Sorry about the language, but do you get it?) Everybody swoons over the lead singer and the bassist, and the occasional drummer as well as the rare guitarist. I love them all, but this isn't about the ones everyone knows. This book is for the members that people sometimes forget about or don't write fan fiction about as much or just don't give them credit. Now I'm not saying that it's a bad thing to favor the frontman of the band, because it's not. I just want to make sure that we don't take the others for granted because they deserve love too, just like every other member. So stand up and sing Hallelujah because they didn't give up on their dreams, even if their hard work is more-than-occasionally left unrecognized by far too many. Be thankful that they have stayed, despite the lack of respect. Because you never know, if they left their band, that band might have broken up before that one special song was played, the one that saved a life. It may have been your life. So let's appreciate our bands together, just off the key of reason.

"BANDS!.... I think I got their attention." This book is just random things about my life or things I like or what amuses me/makes me lose hope in society. I have no clue why I'm making this, but it's whatever. This is just something you can use to get to know me, @StumpysFedora as a person instead of just a Fall Out Boy-related username with somewhat decent fan fiction. If you're, by chance, not happy with however your life is going, you could read this book & it'll most likely make you feel better with a few laughs and the occasional snort mixed in. So read away, everybody. Hold on tight 'cause this ride is a wild one. *I die* THE GHOST OF ME: Dinkleberg... {Did you get my references? I'll stop. Sorry.}

{Cover made by @thnksfrFrnkiero go thank her because she is Pete Wentz in the form of a teenage girl.} Artemis Beaumont was the typical goody-two-shoes kid you'd find doing calculus for fun, or whatever goody-two-shoes high schoolers do these days. Her parents have a tight leash on her since they don't want their good girl prodigy daughter to be corrupted by society's best bad kids. She was best friends with Vic Fuentes, who was the same as her but a male Mexican who is vertically challenged instead of a vampirish-pale girl with the same problem with her height. Mike Fuentes was the opposite of his brother Vic and therefore opposite of Artemis as well. He was tall, covered in tattoos, occasionally drank, and smoked just as often. He didn't do anything in school but think of ways to escape. He had a fast car that he drove recklessly through the streets of San Diego without a care in the world. What happens when Artemis gets sick & tired of her "good girl" image? What will she do about it? And what will happen along the way?

My name is Echo Melody Jackson. My father is Ronnie Radke of Falling In Reverse, so said my mother. She stuck me in an institution because she thought I was just like dad, even though I think there's nothing wrong with that. From my music to my clothes, she hated every inch of my being. I don't know when I'm gonna get out, maybe never. I've been here since I was eight, and now I'm fourteen. Ronnie used to visit me before I was sent here, so I assume that he agreed with mother dearest on my condition. Well anyways, have fun reading about the soap opera that happens to be my life. (There are triggers in this story, so read on, if you dare.) {PLEASE TAKE TO MIND THAT I COMBINED THIS STORY WITH RAZEN HALE AND OTHER DEMONS. YOU CAN FIND IT IN MY WORKS.}

{Cover credit goes to @em_alex Go give her love!!} My name is Onyxx Mona Lisa Urie. More commonly known as "Brendon's Little Sister" or even "That Emo Girl That Is Related To A Famous Band Member". To be honest, I have more issues than the band itself does (Issues, I mean). This is what happened before, when, and after I lose my best friend to himself, then find out that my brother is in a band called Panic! At The Disco in less than a month's time. It's a sad story, really, but I find humor in the fact that I could make a fortune in the soap opera business if I tried. {PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WILL COMBINE WITH DADDY SHOULD HAVE NEVER RAISED ME ON BLACK SABBATH SOMEWHERE TOWARDS CHAPTERS 18 OR SO. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ THAT SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE STORY. YOU CAN FIND IT IN MY WORKS. THANKS!!!!}
