I-A-H and ADP Chapter 1
-
Anthony Padilla didn't think that he would be sitting in front of a computer screen for hours 'til dawn, but at some point in his life-more accurately, 3 years ago- , it decided to take that messy turn. And honestly, Anthony didn't regret it one bit.
Living a normal life in Sacramento, Anthony didn't expect much. Normal mornings, he was at college, just a normal guy who would be silent in classes and had that not-too-whore-like amount of friends with him.
But Anthony Padilla at night surely was a mess of nerd-like glasses and rapid mouse clicks echoing through his room until almost 2 in the morning.
And the answer as to why he was so used to this routine:
Tumblr.
Six letters that had caused Anthony to become a famous blogger. He was young when he stumbled across that monstrosity, an accidental chance of scrolling down the depths of the internet.
When he started out, he was a bit confused on how the entire system worked. There were tags, and bloggers, and reblogging, and tropes and other shit Anthony didn't bother to remember at that time. He started making GIFs for people who asked him to do so, and he also made photo manips, mainly because of the 'shipping' tendencies the fangirls had grown accustomed to.
3 years after Anthony made his Tumblr, he was famous all around, making GIF sets, photo and video editing tutorials and even sometimes collaborations with writers which made a lot of fangirls swoon when a new collaboration would be released.
Now, today, Anthony had absolutely nothing to do. He had finished finals, god bless to that, and now he was staring at his dashboard , doing absolutely nothing but seeing the number on his home button rise as the number of posts were filling his unrefreshed dash.
Under the username ADangerPadilla, he had a ton of followers-close to a surprising 10 000-. His posts were everywhere, and when he let it slip that he was a dude, nearly every girls' pants fell off. But after all the attention, Anthony shrugged it off. It usually would help motivate Anthony to keep working, but today -again- it bore Anthony to the core of his brain.
Anthony groaned. "There should be something to do…" He pressed the mail button and read some requests on what he should do.
A lot of those were particularly just requests of JohnLock and Destiel, but one message caught Anthony's eye.
"A collab request?" He asked out loud. "Who in the name of turd wants a collab request?" He read the message quickly, eyes nearly poking out of their sockets.
Um, hey, Mr Padilla. I want you to know that your followers have been talking about this for weeks, and we want you to do a collab with another blogger we also love, Ian-A-Hecox. We sent him a request also, so no need to talk about that. 3 Padilla Army
Anthony sat there, eyes furrowed on the screen before him. Usually, people would ask for themselves to do a collab with Anthony, but right now, people are requesting for him to go onto some other dude's Tumblr to do a collab?
"Sounds fucking interesting," smiled Anthony as he typed an address into the browser tab.
.com
He whistled softly as the Tumblr began to load. The theme was neatly a colour set of dark black and blue, and the first links were Home, About Me, Twitter and Fanfictions. And of course, Anthony, being the snoopy bitch he is, clicked on the Fanfictions link first, not bothering to even check the main home page.
After scrolling down a huge amount of fanfictions, of which some were slash, majority were friendship based and a small amount was hetero one-shots, Anthony read the description on the left side of the blog.
I'm Ian Hecox and I'm a fanfiction writer. I'm snarky as f*ck so don't even bother. P.S. I'm a dude. Read About Me for more Info
He squinted and clicked the tab. Information washing through him easily. Ian Hecox. Nearly the same age as him. Been interested in writing as a child, using fanfiction as a step up to writing.
Anthony smirked, this was something worth collabing with someone for.
He clicked the fan mail button and started typing out his message.
Hello, my name is Anthony aka ADangerPadilla. Fans of mine have been talking to me and they mentioned you...

Ian Hecox, on the other side of Sacramento, California has been reading his messages, which were mostly praises for his fanwork and more prompts. But now, he is reading a message from one of his fanbases, talking about a collab with someone. And after reading that message, Ian's mail counter striked to a bright, white '1'.
He refreshed the page and realized it was the man who the girls were talking about earlier.
… so, what do you say 'bout a collab soon? ;)
Ian's mouth tugged on the corners and smiled. "Perfect,"
