A Lad’s Lad—the male perspective on Zachary Moore

(YO, LOGAN HERE! This is the sekrit project Martin and I have been working on since last week. And guess what? I wrote this using MS Word, which is why the I’s are capitalized and so are the beginnings of sentences. Word does it automatically so I don’t have to use the shift key! Don’t get used to it, though, this is a special occasion.)

Instead of blogging with Zachary today, I’ll be blogging ABOUT Zach with his best friend Martin. Say hi, Martin.

Martin: Hiya, everyone! Happy tae meet you. As youse know, Zachary is in the YA Crush Tournament tomorrow, Wednesday, 25 July. Voting starts at 12:01am eastern America time.

Logan: Now Zach is going up against a very popular dude named Will, who sounds pretty awesome, though I can’t say for sure because the only YA books I read tend to have guitars (SHIVER, WHERE SHE WENT, etc.).

Martin: And I stopped reading when I stopped being forced to read. Though, Zach willnae stop pushing CODE NAME VERITY at me like it’s some new street drug. (“It’s PURE BRILLIANT, mate! F’in read it! READ IT NOO!!”)

Logan: Anyway. Amy and Jen from Fictitious Delicious did an AWESOME post on what makes him crushworthy. (Go look at it when you’re done here—it’s got real, non-lame-ass graphics and everything!) They pretty much covered everything from a girl’s perspective. 

So me and Martin are here to say why guys—straight, gay, and anywhere in between—should vote for Zachary. Or if you’re just a girl who happens to care what we think. Or if you have nothing better to do for the next two minutes.

Martin: You start, mate. 

Logan: OK, I’ll say why he’s cool, and you say why he’s hot. We can switch off (heh).

A wee shard of “Shattered”

Cheers, all, for fetching me 1,250 votes so far in the Crush Tournament! I confess, it’s odd being in the lead at any moment other than the last. *looks over shoulder at Team Alex* Makes me nervous.

So here’s a segment of my upcoming novella, “Shattered”, featuring my best mate, Martin Connelly.

In this scene, we’re in my bed, but, it’s not like that. It’s—well, it’s complicated.

——

You know I’m joking,” Martin says. “By now you’ve seen you’re not my type. I like my lads blond and dumb and as emo as humanly possible.”

“Aye, I’ve noticed that.”

“I wouldn’t even if ye begged me.”

I fall silent, thinking of the things I’d beg of him—not to leave the house without telling me, not to leave the room for more than five minutes when we’re watching the fitba, not to fail to return my calls or texts. The same thing I’d beg of my parents or Aura:

Don’t leave me alone.

——

Ach, this is hard, showing the world what it was like. Dinnae worry, I’ll adjust.

Anyway if I win tonight, Martin will join Twitter and have a SHADEboys chat with me and Logan, then a #FakeScotsmen chat with me and Aiden McCrae from Cyndi Tefft’s Between series. Good fun, so please vote, and thank you!

as promised, for returning Zach to a 200-vote lead (we take NO LEAD for granted), a song for Nessie. this is the only tune i know that mentions the Loch Ness Monster. lyrics are here.

see Nessie dressed up for her BIG DATE over at Fictitious Delicious, and while you’re there, check out their awesome giveaways and charity donation to Tartan Army Children’s Charity.

and of course, vote for Zach or watch your back! (just kidding—about watching your back, not about voting for Zach.)

someone asked for a happy song when Zach went up 200 votes over Alex in his crush tourney bout. (if you want another, more, um ROCKIN’ song, get him to 250 up.)

here’s hoping Zach wins another internet pony this summer!!
