Blue Roses

This is more fun than typing about my weekend. (Which I'm doing in another window. LOL) From Suzanne:

1. Who was the first author you read in NSlash?
Matthew Time. For many months, he was the only one I read.

2. What was the first story you read, if you remember that?
I'm not sure. I think it was the dialogue one with Justin and Chris chatting to each other while Justin was trying to do an online chat, that someone (who shall remain nameless lest she kill me) recommended. <.g>

3. What was your initial reaction to slash? To NSYNC? To NSlash?
*Slash: I think my first slash was Buffy. I was just getting to know the characters, joined UCSL, and saw this slash stuff. I read, I liked, all was well. <.g>
*NSYNC: I first heard nsync junior year in HS, on Radio Disney. Tearin' Up my Heart and later, God Must Have Spent. I adored TUMH. I was horrified when I learned who sang it. I had recently given in to BSB, and that was enough. But it didn't take long for me to give in and buy the CD for those two songs, although I rarely listened to it.
*Nslash: I was pretty horrified at first. I am so against RPFic. I ended contact with people who advocated and wrote David Duchovny/Gillian Anderson stories. It disgusted me. Then I discovered Matthew Time's Buffy and ER fics, and fell in love with him. When I saw he had boyband slash, I pointed it out to my roommate, Jen, in disgust. She was pretty interested, pulled over her chair, and we read BSB slash aloud to each other. <.g> I still wasn't sold, though. Then this year, when Kate had me listening to nsync, I teasingly told her about Matthew's fic. I swear, I meant nothing by it...I was still horrified by the thought of RPS. But that started our slide into the world of nsync fic - he showed us that there was fic out there, slash and het. What can I say, Matthew is very talented. And he linked to talented people, and I kept finding more and more good authors. And while I'm still against RPF and RPS, somehow boybands are excluded from this. The only thing I can think of is that actors have characters to write about, while the boyband's images is equivalent to characters. <.shrug> I don't know.

4. Who is your "favorite"?
Lance. Although I really like all of them as a group.

5. What is your OneTruePairing? (GSF counts)
I kinda love all 11. I'm not picky, I'll read anything if it's well written. Right now, I have a thing for Lambs (Justin/Lance), which I don't even buy. I guess I'm mostly all about the JoLa (Joey/Lance) and Basez (Lance/JC). But really, love 'em all.
