Bandom (fbr/mcr) Primer/Reference
This is all done in fun and love and silliness, so yes info and links should be helpful but my comments? Not as such, making a primer on these guys just reminded me how much I love them and made me squee... which should be obvious if you should read. And this isn't a primer primer it more like a reference of where to go and what to do. I'm the starter XD.

MENTIONED
When I first came upon FBR/MCR I got very, very confused whenever these names were mentioned because they weren't part of the band... but they were. (Okay, I lie, when I first came upon Bandom etc. I had to learn who all the Panic! boys were because I COULDN'T TELL THEM APART! True and shameful story, I actually had a picture for reference for the first story I read.)
