turpsMy crossover OTP is still going strong, because when I checked twitterfox and saw Pete saying that Mikey posts the best pictures, I had to sit and flail a while, and then email ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sperrywink to share this news. I was also amused because when I first found out Pete was following Mikey we had a discussion about how Pete would be the person to appreciate Mikey's random pictures, and he does! Especially when they're with a sloth it seem. &Pete/Mikey;
Okay, that five things you associate with me meme.

_bettina_ said Chris Kirkpatrick. Corey and James, Badfic, Writing and Pop newsletter
Chris -- The most beautiful man in the world! I think Chris is awesome and extremely hot. Nsync were never big over here, so I didn't even know who he was when I first started to read crossover BSB slash fic with him involved. So I researched, and fell for him with a bang. He's got an amazing voice and attacks life at full tilt at all times and seems to genuinely care about the people around him. I also respect how he worked his ass off to get a better life for his family, and love that he does what he wants no matter what people think. Be that the clothes he wears, the people he hangs with, the shows he appears on, because I doubt he needs the money, it always seems like he's doing it just because.
Not that I think he's perfect, not by a long shot, he's human basically. I think he's hidden a lot of bad times, when he's been angry or depressed, but he seems to be in a better place now, and that's why despite the fact I'd love new music from him, I'd be okay if it didn't happen. Because he's off having fun with his bands and his shows and hopefully enjoying the money he worked so hard for.
Lava Lamps -- I have quite the collection now, and had some before the whole Cramp thing I have to add. But I'm sure JM means Cramp and not lava lamps in general. So, for people that don't know, and oh, how lucky you are not to. There's this popslash story where Chris watches JC and Lance have sex, and to punish him they fuck him with a lava lamp. It's the most ridiculous story ever, full of purple prose, flowery language, physical impossibilities, Lance's dick is thicker than his wrist! It pushes its way out of his leather pants! Never mind the fact Chris should have died after having a lava lamp shoved up his ass, until only the flex remained hanging out.
So yeah. At a gathering atnopsued's mickeym read the story out loud. It was in the early hours of the morning, a room crammed with fangirls, and man, did we laugh. I've heard the story read out loud multiple times since then, and it just keeps getting better. Lava lamps are a popslash thing for me now. They represent laughter and good times and fun. And the fact that someone actually though Chris being fucked by a lava lamp was a good thing.
Reading badfic -- The thing is, I'm a major h/c addict, and the simple fact is, badfic is full of h/c. Kevin being beaten and comforted by Nick. I'm there. Mikey having bulimia and dying, link me! Ryan losing gallons of blood in a 78920 chaptered story where he unexpectedly gets pregnant, despite it never been mentioned that men could, yes please. Jon Walker's cancer curing cock. Bring it on. Chris being kidnapped by a man who forces him to call him daddy and then be rescued by the others. Hell yeah.
I read badfic in a very different way to the good stuff. I'm well aware that characterisations are off, that names are miss spelled and grammar is wonky, I go in to be entertained and I am. It's also a bit of taking what I can get. I'd love more amazingly written stories that dealt with issues like body issues, eating disorders, plane and bus crashes. A MCR story dealing with body issues would be fantastic, Bob realising when he joined the band he was being judged by how he looked and lost all that weight, fast, Frank's up and down weight issues, that Mikey is so thin. It could be one heck of a story if someone would put time into writing it well. But so far, no go, so I read as close as I can get.
Badfic is fun, it entertains me, and sometimes all you need is to read a story where Nsync are taken by aliens, have their minds wiped and Chris becomes a breeding mare, Justin a workhorse, Lance a show horse and JC a pleasure beast.
Storyfinder comm -- They bring the badfic to me, and the goodfic. I love that the most wonderful story can be made to sound insane at a storyfinder comm. It's like they have a language of their own and it's one of insanity. I'm a member of many storyfinder comms, popslash and bandom and have links to many others. Because I'm guaranteed to find something amazing there.
Hugs -- I love hugs. I get all insecure and stupid over thinking that people might not want to hug me, but once you've initiated contact, watch out.
Chris Kirkpatrick -- See above :)
Corey and James -- My boys. James is a very different person to me. He's talkative, loud, very confident, all the things I'm not, and has many annoying habits, but he's also amazing in many ways. He knows all about what I do fannish wise, goes to slash cons with me but most of all, he loves me, and I know that. Corey is a typical teen. He's messy, stomps around, is horribly sarcastic and has perfected this put upon sigh when he's asked to do something. But, he's also one of the nicest kids I know. He loves his much younger cousins, our animals, helps James when he needs it, and I've never heard him say anything mean about anyone.
They bicker terrible right now. James is very short tempered and like I said, Corey is a teenager, so they fight about everything, no matter how petty. But, they're my boys, the most important people in my life, and I love them both deeply.
Badfic -- see above :)
Writing -- It's something I enjoy doing. I'm not bad, I'm not good, just middle and that's fine by me. I've never wanted to go anywhere with it. I've no grand plans to write a book or publish. I just like to write out the stories I tell myself in my head. It still shocks me that people want to read, tbh. But I'm very glad people do.
Pop newsletter -- A few years back I decided the popslash fandom needed a newsletter, so made one. The initial idea was I'd have people helping find links, but that never worked out so since Turlough moved on I've done everything myself, which is why it's more Nsync based because I can only link what I see, and I'm very much on the Nsync side of the fandom. I'm proud of the newsletter and that it's a record of the popslash fandom. I enjoy listing all those posts where people are squeeing over new pictures, or sharing fic and hope it continues for a long time, even if I'm not in charge.
To end, I mentioned it above so it has to be included

might it be worth sending out another plea for link-finding assistance?
I think I'll have to. I'm sure I manage to get most of the Nsync links but I'm sure I'm missing a lot of Backstreet stuff. All I need is one person who would gather what they see, the problem is finding someone reliable. Still, it's worth a try.

I hope you can find more people to help you with the newsletter, doing it all yourself must be exhausting sometimes.
Mikeyway being almost-hugged by a giant sloth will never stop being hilarious :-)
*hugs you a lot because you're so fabulous*

Well, it's not that bad, just I know if I'm not gathering no one is. I think I will take Pen's suggestion and ask for BSB help at least. I know I'm missing stuff there.
Mikeyway and sloth is a thing of awesome!

Date: 2009-02-27 08:48 am (UTC)What you said about tackling body issues in serious fic made me think of Calico's Cuisine, still one of my favorites even though it's so unpleasant to read. So maybe there's hope for someone to do something similar in bandom yet.
