Okay, I'm stuffing around. I need to out at lunch and do some banking, not sit around catching up on LJ.

Pluses for today: It's 1.30pm on a Friday, the boss has left early (taking his family skiing), the workflow on my desk looks manageable and may actually be done (gasp!)

Drawbacks: I got to sleep at 5.30am last night. Why?! Why is my sleeping pattern so totally screwed this week? Seriously, I only made it in this morning with bloody determination, a Lift Plus and a chocolate jam donut. I think I may need those again to be able to think this afternoon.

Fannishness: Hey, there aren't any WW/popslash crossovers, are there? I just want to read one. I have an urge for less-than-serious WW fic, and this way I'm reading popslash without really reading popslash. Hey, it makes sense to me.

Meanwhile, I did a brief word count last night, and realised that between my four WW WiPs, I have like 14,000 words. Okay, 9,000 of them belong to just one fic, but still, that's an impressive amount of stuffing around. I've found that I'm starting to think of them by the POV I'm using. Hence, we have 25!Josh, AU!Sam, Future!Donna and... actually, I think of the other one as the drunk!Sam one at the moment, but that's only because I've been stuck on that scene *cough*forweeksnow*cough*.

You know what? I really am spamtastic! *g*

I'm reading popslash without really reading popslash.
you should just read popslash! ;)
try sin's au that she's writing with coreopsis

Heh. You might be right, you know. I mean, I go through fandom fads all the time... I suddenly get interested in a fandom and that's all I read for weeks, and then I'm over it. (Well, that's what happens with all the fandoms I don't regularly watch. The ones that I watch mean that I read lots then try writing.)

Is it good?

Um... I don't mean that to sound as bitchy as it does. I meant, is it okay for a newbie fan? I only ask because there's those AU's where you barely need to know canon, and there's those where you're going to miss out on a heck of a lot if you don't know how it should have happened.

Nope, don't need canon to enjoy it as a good story, it's a regency AU. And very very good :)

[out-there.livejournal.com]

Ooh, regency AU. Thanks for the rec, I'm reading it right now. *bg*

And there's only one short pop/WW crossover that I know of, I'll try and remember to send it to you when I'm home :)

[out-there.livejournal.com]

Dude, you rock!

I thought that someone mentioned a crossover when I was up Sydney... but I wasn't sure if that actually happened, or if I was just dreaming... *g*

I gather that you've started to read it already but, no, i don't think you need to know canon. but
backstreet boys = kevin, aj, brian, howie, nick.
kevin is oldest, nick is youngest.

Weirdly enough, the first time I read popslash, I knew Nick (well enough to recognise him, I mean). Which is just odd... *g*

What scares me is that I knew a lot of the bsb songs, just from them having been on the radio stations my parents frequent...

(now of course i own all the albums. oh the shame ;)
