Why this must be read: Because so few people are writing long, funny, fun, awesome popslash anymore, it's exciting when new folks join the fandom and produce something as good as this is. The characterizations of all the guys are hilarious and perfect, and the slow-but-amusing build up to Lance and Chris's relationship feels just right. It's an idea we've seen a couple times in popslash (forced to date via media outting), but this fic really gets into the media-drivenness of it all. And did I mention hilarious? And long?? I don't think nearly enough people have read this in proportion to the sheer amount of awesome it contains.
Chris waited till he'd driven home to call JC, which was good because the conversation included phrases like "you shouldn't belittle the ability of our fans to be totally cool with alternative lifestyle choices, cat," and "it's totally wrong to lie about who you love dude, but we do it in interviews all the time already. What's so different?"
Talking to him left Chris with the feeling that JC didn't have the kind of indignation Chris considered warranted at the thought of his band-mates' untimely death by pink sparkly signs. Chris was pretty sure that in JC's world it was fine to get freaky with alien probes of no particular gender as long as you were having a good time, and not oppressing the probe in question. It showed a beautiful hard-kept naiveté that Chris usually admired, but right now it made him consider getting his virgin ass thrown in jail for homicide in preference to accepting Jive's insane plan and the resulting public damage to the sanctity of said ass.

I hope you get lots of feedback! I mean, I know from experience that in popslash, writing the story has to be reward enough, but feedback is really nice, too :P
