I've been comment chatting with [livejournal.com profile] phaballa about Manband fic, and I'm curious.

If you write, would you consider writing Manband fic? Also, to everyone, would you read it? This is intra Manband pairings, not just mentions of the group in an Nsync story.

Reasons would be cool. Unless they're along the lines of I never write Chris fic because he sucks! Which would make me sad.

Mmmm - Chris sucking ....

ahem.

once I've watched the show, maybe. I have no idea if they're slashable as a group yet ....

(and I can't watch that trailer 'cos my computer hates me, which does not bode well for the show ....)

You and Nic are going to kill me!

No, I have no idea either. I was just curious is the idea put anyone off. I suppose because it's another group as opposed to various other hangers on/girlfriends/boyfriends etc.

Oh no! I'm sorry! Have you seen the screen grabs at [livejournal.com profile] musiclover03's journal?

But if you wrote, I'd read :D

I'm not a writer and I don't think I'd be very interested in reading intra-Manband because I don't really care about anyone other than Chris. However, if Jeff Timmons turns out to be a nicer guy than I think he is, maybe I could handle that.

What I would love to read is fic that involves Chris and other sparkly boys and how they deal with Chris filming Manband. Was Lance snarky? Did they have to hide from the cameras? Did Chris run away to Nick and his boat to escape the craziness in his house? Etc....

I think one of my problems is I just don't know the other three. That may change when I watch the show, maybe I'll find out Jeff isn't a nice guy too.

Really what I'm curious about is if the fact that this is a new band, as opposed to other kinds of people the guys get slashed with, turns people off.

Oh, and dude! I want to see that fic that you described too!

I think I'd have to wait and see the show. See what kind of chemistry they have together, if any. The ads so far seem to mostly show them one at a time. It looks like there *might* be Bryan/Chris chemistry. But although I'd probably read it, I wouldn't write it: I don't have enough background info on the rest, and, at least at this point, I'm not that interested in going looking for it.

I suppose that's the sensible way to go. So, does the fact that they're a new group and not just random hangers on not bother you at all?

I'm just wondering if loyalty to Nsync and replacing one group with another is an issue in this situation.

So, we've discussed. And reading the comments reminds me that, in the previews, Jeff comes out as kind of a douche. Which might actually make me MORE likely to write him. But Rich and Bryan? NO. No way. Because if Jeff seems like a douche, Bryan seems like a fuckwit, and Rich... has cancer. Which I don't want to write about.

I like what someone said above, about if JC joined the band. Actually, no, what I want is an AR where Backstreet recruits JC to replace Kevin. And then they throw him out for being a big freak.

We did discuss. A lot of people seem to be saying that Jeff is a douche. I really don't know the man so it'll be interesting to see how that plays out.

Okay, the idea of JC in a man band makes me have glee. As does your BSB idea. JC would have to be a freak indeed to outfreak Nick. Though I suppose it's a different kind of freakishness.

From: [identity profile] phaballa.livejournal.com
JC would be all, "But where are all the pretty costumes! With lights! And feathers!!" and then they'd kick him out :P

Jeff comes off as a douche, but then again, reality shows are edited in such a way that they can make you believe pretty much anything about the people on them. And it's hard to tell anything from a preview...

I don't know. I'd like him to stick around and months later, when Kevin needs a break from being a dad, he comes back, walks into a room and sees Howie, Brian, AJ and Nick decked out in twinkling lights and pink feathers trailing from furry pants, and he'd be all, wtf!? I leave you and things go to hell!

True. It's a few minutes long preview, anything can happen. I want to see now!

Re: the Kevin thing, that would be HILARIOUS. Someone should write that now. I call not it!

Of course, in my dream world where JC's album actually gets released someday, he'd go on tour to open for Backstreet. And then I could make my friends go see them :)

No, no! The first thing Kevin would do if he saw them like that would be to laugh his ass off :-) After that he would of course tell them that they obviously can't be left alone for a minute AND COME BACK TO BACKSTREET TO PREVENT THEM FROM LOOKING LIKE IDIOTS IN PUBLIC TOO!! *giggles*

I've got a Chris/Joey fic with Manband as a background, and probable intra-Manband pairings that is on hiatus as I don't know the other three enough to write them yet, so I guess I count in the 'yes' column, right? I mean, if I see chemestry between them, I don't see why not.
But I am more interested in Chris/AnyotherofthesparklyboyseitherNsyncorbsb dealing with Manband fics.

I want to see those too. Maybe them watching as he dances with his new group and feeling weird about it. Then they can go to his house, pounce on him and remind him which group he belongs to.

I agree with [livejournal.com profile] daisydust. I don't think I would read Manband slash purely because I don't really care about anyone other than Chris. Before this show, I wouldn't have been able to name the other 3 or even point them out of a line up.

Plus, Bryan and Jeff have kids (and yet I will read Joey slash, I know, I'm a hypocrite) and Rich is kind of a jerk.

But I don't know, I could kind of see some h/c slash coming from that one scene where Chris sits down Bryan to talk about his alcohol use.

But I would DEFINITELY read slash of Chris and another nsync boy set current day with the other Manband boys as secondary characters. Actually, now I WANT to read that. Someone start writing some realistic, current day, non AU fics please! (lol, I initially wrote fucs instead of fics, but that's good too!)

Right now I'm agreeing with you and daisydust. I don't know the other three and don't really want to at the moment.

Oh, you said the magic words. h/c. Sorry, it's my favourite thing in fic *g*

I'm really interested in how fandom approaches Manband fic. I imagine it'll exsist, but a lot will feature the rest of Nsync heavily.

But I would DEFINITELY read slash of Chris and another nsync boy set current day with the other Manband boys as secondary characters

I want to read that too! Fic or fuc ;)

You should write some Bryan/Chris h/c! That would probably be the only Manband fic I would be interested in reading.

Writing and reading.. maybe. Sometimes I'll read pairings I don't care for but if the writing is done well. I know of the other three...and of the three the only paring that looks interesting is Jeff/Chris. Maybe storylines could be formed from situations on the show but other than that.

LOL Oh who am I kidding. If Chris is to be with anyone it's JC. Even when I don't write TrickC I always link them together romanticly. I would go for the sparkily pairing with the manband as other characters...

Chris/Bryan could work.. especially with the drinking thing as someone said h/c.. that and the fact that he reminds me of Joey. Chris/Rich could work... Chris being a caregiver.

I second, third, and forth that emotion of putting jc in the group.

I don't know about reading all the pairings that could be made from Sureshot, but I'm with [livejournal.com profile] raynedanser on the Chris/Jeff. If someone writes it, I'll be reading it. Chris/Jeff was one of the first pairings I read when I first discovered popslash, so they sort of hold my heart tightly.

As for writing it, it's very possible. I don't have any plots for fics right now, but I'm sure once the show airs, they'll appear, running around in my brain, desperate for release. :D

You know, going by the trailer I think I could. I really think I could. I can't even remember the name of the guy from LFO but something about his vulnerablity got to me.

I love how Chris seemed to be leading the group in a way, taking a big part in it. I was impressed by how they were trying to learn to work together. Yeah, I think it's possible.

(I have a very enthusiastic Color Me Badd fan on my friends list, and she could not handle that trailer at all. Bryan's drinking problem caused her to cry.)

The show seems to be heading in a much more 'real' direction than what I expected. Up the thread someone mentioned how there's three hard luck stories then Chris, who's pretty much just bored and wants something to do. Which is what I expected from him, but the others seem really down on their luck. That has to be hard to watch if you're a fan of theirs.

But I agree, it looks like they're really working hard and it'll be interested to see how the whole thing plays out.

Sure, I would, if I saw something between Chris and any of the other guys that gave me a bunny. I don't know if I have a specific reason - just, they're a band, they're fair game, and Chris is made of awesome and had these guys living in his house, so how could nothing be going on? I suspect it would definitely be Chris-centric though.
