Why this must be read: From your other crack van drivers in the past, you've gotten a lot of recs for sincere, moving, emotional fics. Well, I'm here to bring something a little different. I'm here to bring you raging sarcasm and insincerity. Hooray! There is a lot of really bad popslash out there. "A lot."* Fortunately for us, Lucy took some horrible slash and Mary Sue fic and made the boys of *NSYNC do commentary on it, in the style of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 (MiSTied fic). What we get is the most hilarious real-time commentary on a truly terrible work. I was re-reading parts of it to do this summary, and I was nearly crying, I was laughing so hard. If you have time, hit up the rest of the MiSTied fics and especially the little piece where *NSYNC MiSTies their own song lyrics. Priceless.

* "A lot" in quotation marks refers to a part of *NSYNC's Making The Tour special where Chris discusses how many mistakes they make when doing rehearsals for an upcoming tour. It's very funny and you can even rent the DVD of Making the Tour and see for it yourself! < /PSA>


JC: Okay, Justin. Why'd you pick this one? Just so I'm prepared going in.
Justin < happily >: Well, Chris said we should try slash, right? But this one has some chicks in it too. So we can work up to pure slash slowly.
Chris < suspicious >: Sounds reasonable.
Justin: Oh, and it's really bad, and it's all about Chris.
Chris: Oh, shit.
< Lance pats Chris sympathetically on the shoulder >

I feel out of the loop. What is a MiSTie?

[iamtheenemy.livejournal.com]

It stands for "Mystery Science Theatre 3000," a TV show where characters would watch a really bad movie and mock it with scathing remarks as it played. It's great!
