Starfucker by Helen

Fandom: POPSLASH-NSYNC
Pairing: JC/Bobbie
Author on lj: [livejournal.com profile] helenish
Author's website: helenish.net

Why this really should be read:

Back in the pre-hiatus days, not only were *NSYNC in the media constantly, so were their girlfriends. Websites, mentions in j14 or the Enquirer, the whole nine yards. Fandom consensus (slash/etc and non-fanfiction-oriented) was pretty clear: Chris's Dani was cool, Joey's Kelly was largely ignored, all of Lance's girlfriends were beards (this was more a slash fan opinion), Justin's Britney was a whole 'nother story and JC's Bobbie was a bitch.* But not always.

I started reading popslash over three years ago because Helen was writing it, and choosing one of her stories was difficult. But this story takes a character we think we know, starfucker bitch girlfriend, and makes her feel real and smart and even heartbreaking.

Starfucker

If you're interested in more m/f stories featuring members of *nsync, with NO mary sues, [livejournal.com profile] chased_amy has an index, Get Your Story Straight, for all your het *nsync needs.

*Bobbie Thomas worked for J14 back in the day. She's currently a senior editor for In Touch and frequently appears on E! specials.
