The House History
Step into OUR house...
(by the way, I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the slash writers who post on fanfic.net and I don't mean to offend anyone by this rant)
For a really long time, I held off writing slash. I would read it almost every day, of course--mostly JC/Lance, but the occasional "other" pairing would creep its way into my consciousness. I felt slightly ashamed at my then-newfound obsession, and I thought that if I started writing it I'd really go off the deep end.
Then one day I found that I'd read practically every good JayLa story there was on the internet. I didn't know where else to look, and like a coke addict scrounging for money to buy some stash, I was desperate to feed my slash-hungry brain.
So I broke down. And I decided to write the kind of slash I'd want to read: pure JC/Lance interaction, no plot frills, no smut and fairly short. I came up with my first story, "All That Matters", in about twenty minutes. It sucked, but it was a start. And I found that I couldn't stop writing.
So here I am, about four months later, with twelve JC/Lance stories under my belt and my first serial on its way. Writing my most recent story was a wake-up call. See, I'd gotten into the habit of posting on fanfiction.net--something my *Nsync pen pals had expressly warned me against. Most of the fans who post *Nsync stories are just that--fans, nothing more. They're the type who think that one day, they're going to marry their favorite group member and have "like, 10 million of his babies!" And they SAY so, by writing about it in their stories. Ugh. I should have known. Straight fanfiction makes me cringe. Especially when it's written by some chick named Candy who writes summaries like: "Justin wakes up and finds out that he doesn't remember his past life! Can Mandy save him from himself?"
Well I posted my twelfth story. And I got about three reviews that had the same basic hostile undertones: "Don't you dare say they're gay ever again! JC is my man and one day we'll meet and fall in love!" "JC is NOT gay! Just because he wears girly clothes and make-up and has spastic hand movements doesn't mean he likes other men!" "Lance is my snuggly-wuggly poofu! He is my future husband and he is SO not gay so don't you ever post something like this again!" Oh wait. And my personal favorite: "You'd have to be pretty messed up to write something like this."
Ladies and gentlemen, I am the only person who is allowed to call me "messed up." So I thought, forget this literary hell, I'm putting up my OWN slash website! And with the help of my very capable web designer, Akira, I have done just that. She's actually a shonen-ai/yaoi (anime slash) kind of girl, but I've recently introduced her to JayLa and I think she LIKES it! Oh, and my deputy Morgan is one of my best friends and a slash addict like myself. The three of us make up the entirety of the JayLa Conspiracy House, but I'm hoping that we can gain some new members soon. The more people we enlighten, the better off the world will be. So join the Conspiracy! And remember...
Believe.
Indigo.
