Still for davidxdavid's Post-A-Day Fest :)

Since the theme is Archuletas FTW! or Family, I decided to list some of my favorite stories with postive (or at least non-evil) characterizations of David's family. This is actually much harder than it ought to be, because the press for David's family, specifically for David's dad Jeff, had been horrific during American Idol.

(Rant: I mean, okay, people can write whatever they want, but Jeff hiring someone to rape his son? Seriously?!)

I've also included one delightful gen ficlet, because David genfic is like the rarest of all magical sparkly fic ponies in all the land that is Livejournal, and four non-fic fanworks!

Just so you know: almost all of the stories I'll be listing pair David with David Cook. They are taken from my del.icio.us, where I tag stuff I like. I tend to skim the comms once in a while rather than look at every entry, so my reading & tagging are erratic and sporadic. I take gossymer's approach to reccing: I rec the stuff I like. It may be fabulously well crafted in terms of writing style or drawing abilities. Then again, it may not. Nevertheless, if I'm reccing it, then it struck a chord with me on a personal level.

( 8 recs by 7 makers: 4 fics, 2 artworks and 2 vids; arranged by type then alphabetically )

I had to delete and repost this three times because my pinky kept slipping on the Enter key. Not to mention LJ is being fiendishly uncooperative :|

So apparently there exists this picture of a fan's sign from the AI '08 tour (pic nabbed w/o permission from greensilver) that I did not know about.

How is this awesome? Let me count the ways:

• This fan was shipping Jeff and Lupe (which might be a little strange except tbh i ship them too because ok WHY NOT)
• You know who wrote the thing at the top? DAVID FUCKING COOK.

It reminds me of the time when I was wondering "if david archuleta wasn't human, what would he be?" (don't ask why) and my first answer was ROBOT.

And it got me thinking about an AU where Prof Archuleta was trying to create an artificial intelligence who would be his "son" but before he could finish the project he died NO THAT'S TOO SAD let's just say he was imprisoned or whatever for trying to make robots more human-like. AND SO his incomplete coding was secretly sent to his former student David Cook, who is now working in R&D for something-or-other Corp, who, in order to fulfill his mentor's dreams, decided to continue the project.

( THEN SUDDENLY EVERYTHING BECAME EPIC )


IN CONCLUSION, ROBOTS ARE AWESOME. AND SO ARE DAVIDS.

ETA I was intending to do a meme or other, but stupid sexy flanders robots got in the way :|
