1. Who's your favorite Backstreet and why? (This can include the wives if you like.) I have to go with Nick on this one. Surprised? lol Why is he my favorite? Um, I suppose I should say something other than that he's 6 feet of hotness... I'm really not this shallow! lol Really, though, he's got a nice voice, and my respect for him has grown a lot after seeing what he's been through with his family and all.
2. Why is your favorite pairing your favorite pairing? Alright, I still include Kevin as a Backstreet Boy, at least for slashing purposes. lol I think in real life Kevin and Nick do have an affectionate relationship, and it's easy to skew that. They're polar opposites: dark and light, old and young, brooding and carefree, and they balance each other out like yin and yang. And they just make a really hot couple!
3. What's your comfort fic? The one you go to when you need that extra smile in your day? Aw! Actually this isn't a fandom thing, nor is it a single story. When I was 13 my mom gave me a book called PUSH: You Are Here, This Is Now, an anthology of young, amazingly talented writers and artists in America. Each piece is like a little gem, a little glimpse into someone else's psyche that makes you feel raw yet content at the same time. I've read it so much the pages are falling out. (If you're interested, here's their website:
PUSH)
4. Which celebrity do you relate to the most? and why. Hm, this is tough. Maybe Amy Lee? Her lyrics are amazing, and I really admire how driven she is and how she stays true to her own creativity. And I was really attracted to the goth look, but it's somewhat mainstream now. :P Also the Backstreet Boys, see #1 above.
5. Why is your username your username? Oh I'm so glad you asked me this! It's kind of an homage to my favorite story from PUSH actually, called Citrus by Leslie Jamison. Reading it was a catharsis for me; I really connected to the main character. It was the first time I had seen homosexual relationships depicted in print. Basically it rocked my little 13-year-old world. Also, I really love citrus fruit. lol Grapefruit, oranges, limes... can't live without 'em.

1. What's your favorite song at the moment? New Beginning by Tracy Chapman! Awesome album.
2. Are you into any fandoms other than popslash? Hm... not really. I feel like such a dork saying that. lol But currently I'm not involved in any other fandoms.
3. What's your favorite thing about yourself? Oh, sheesh... lol. Um, my writing ability?
4. What's one of your happiest memories? Probably all of the times my family went on vacation to the beach in the summer.
5. What was the last book you read? I actually just started reading Collapse by Jared Diamond, about societies that pushed their environmental resources beyond their limits and collapsed as a result. Fascinating stuff, and excellent nonfiction writing. I'd highly recommend it if you're interested!
