Sob, so I was thinking of doing a Twitter fic for ages but...thirteen was too many. Fifteen even more unfeasible. After all the SJM love today, I decided I could do an SJM Twitterfic...so here it is...with my biases making cameos. /dies I'm so sorry, you guys. This is so pointless.
See post-fic notes for naming explanations.
Internet Trends are for Winners

Internet Trends are for Winners
by
meiface When their managers tell them that they're getting Twitter accounts to better connect with their international fanbase, the first question Ryeowook asks, somewhat nervously, is: "Does this mean we have to post only in English?"
"No, no," they are reassured. "Korean is fine. Chinese would be even better! English would be great, too, if you want to practice. But it's more about making you accessible to international netizens than forcing you to type in other languages."
"So...the point of this is just to...update about random things in 140 characters or less?" Hankyung asks doubtfully, unsure as of to the point.
Kyuhyun rolls his eyes and can be heard muttering, "Newb," under his breath.
"Sounds like fun!" Donghae says excitedly.
***
It is fun - for Heechul. Because while this Twitter trial run is only for SJM at the moment, Heechul appoints himself official username distributor. "You all left me for China," he accuses Hankyung. "This is the least you can let me do!"
Hankyung gives in, because it is easier than listening to Heechul complain.
Unfortunately, it means he ends up staring at his username in horror.
"mamasboy?" he explodes over the phone.
Heechul cackles. "You are, admit it. I'm not telling the world anything they don't already know!"
Siwon shakes his head over his own username. "So this is why hyung wanted to know how to say, 'I am a horse' in Chinese," he sighs.
Donghae beams. "I like mine, hyung!" he shouts into the phone. "Thanks!"
"I was originally going to name him daddysboy," Heechul confesses to Hankyung, "but, well." He stops and Hankyung can practically hear the shrug over the phone. "I just couldn't do that to him."
Hankyung closes his eyes, long-suffering. "But of course you can do that to me."
"Of course!" The reply is cheerful and unrepentant.
***
The others are slightly luckier. Zhou Mi is active on the internet and plenty savvy with registering a username he likes. "I use this everywhere," he announces proudly to Kyuhyun, who's looking at the screen over his shoulder. "It's a pun!" he explains. "On my name. And because it means 'sweet' and it's also a famous song."
Kyuhyun is distracted, however, by Henry and Ryeowook's usernames. "Did Henry have to fight you and Geng-ge for that name?" he asks dryly, laughing a little.
Zhou Mi pouts. "He won rock-paper-scissors." Then he grins. "And he helped Ryeowook register that name. I don't think he's seen it yet."
Kyuhyun laughs again.
This will be fun, indeed.

Finally, Heechul threatens to get the rest of the band into Twitter if SJM doesn't stop ignoring him. It's an effective threat, if only because none of them want to see the unavoidably vague, emo, and ultra-poetic tweets Eeteuk will inevitably post.
He does let it slip to one person though, because he's biased. And he figures no one ever sees Kibum as it is, so they might as well try to keep in touch online. He creates a username for Kibum and demands that he use the account.
Unfortunately, Kibum still only posts once in a blue moon.

In the end, management decides that it's better to keep Super Junior as a whole away from Twitter, where uncensored thoughts will likely put everyone in trouble. They allow the members to keep their accounts on the solemn promise that they will lock all of their tweets from now on.
"No swearing where people can see it!" Hankyung tells Kyuhyun desperately.
"Or in English." Siwon looks disapprovingly at Henry. "I recognize those words, you know!"
Henry pouts and Ryeowook offers to cook to make him feel better. Donghae is disappointed that he will no longer be able to leave comments to the fans, but he is easily distracted when Kyuhyun pulls out the Wii and challenges him to beat Zhou Mi's bowling score.
He flexes and grins. "You're on!"
The rest of the group gathers, excited, and Zhou Mi's mouth opens in surprise and Kyuhyun takes his arm and jerks him away from the TV.
"Where are we--" he starts, but then Kyuhyun looks at him, a glint of mischief in his eyes. They head towards the bedroom.
"Oh," says Zhou Mi. "Well, okay." He smiles and wraps his arm around Kyuhyun and Kyuhyun can't help his own little smile.

ILoveLeehom referring, of course, to Wang Leehom, who is an idol for Henry, Mi, and Geng all. BAMF = badass motherfucker.
