Feb Festival Day 21

[pensnest]

Real world with added weirdness... you know, based in canon (they're popstars!) but with supernatural or otherwise inexplicable extras, like, magic is real, there are vampires in the audience, they have superpowers, they swapped bodies, etc

...I'm sorry, but wow, it's been AGES since I thought of Natalie. God bless popslash! And God bless popslash that used any tool to put anyone with anyone, for that matter. And now I'm off to read your dignified-sounding four-way.

i'm so glad i saw this entry and stopped to read it because this comment made me laugh forever. and then want to say hi.

HI. ♥

OMG HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI HI JUST THINKING OF YOU IS AN AMAZINGNESS! WHAT IS UP, WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT THINGS. I WARN YOU I HAVE NOT BEEN TO BED, HI.

[epicflailer]

YES, YES WE SHOULD (THOUGH PERHAPS NOT IN PEN'S JOURNAL, AHA). IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG SINCE THE LAST TIME YOUR SLEEP-DEPRIVED SELF WAS IN MY LIFE.

Oh, goodness, that sheep story was awesome! Thank you so much for reccing it. I still haven't gotten around to going through the MTYG archives.

I'm going to read yours, too -- four-way bodyswap, awesome -- but it's late and I got a bit confused in my sleepy head about who was whom. I'll tackle it tomorrow. I did read far enough to giggle about JC's grooming habits, though. He so would.

I'd also be interested in reading the Lance/Justin and JC/Bobbie bodyswaps, if you remember who wrote them. I was thinking the lambs was Sandy, but the one of hers I remember is popstar!Justin swapping with college!Justin (still lambs, of course).

[pensnest]

I'll have to see if I can figure out where those stories are... rikes will probably know! I remember the Lance/Justin one being magnificently hot, once Lance had persuaded Justin that he knew *exactly* what that body would like...

So it turns out Sandy wrote both a Justin/Justin and a Justin/Lance bodyswap; the latter is Isle of View. Might that be the one you're thinking of?

(Also, general link list of popslash bodyswap stories.)

I couldn't find the JC/Bobbie, hmm.

[pensnest]

Isle of View was definitely the Lance/Justin bodyswap I had in mind. And thanks for the link to bodyswap recs-it's so nice to be reminded of the good stuff.

I've put up a request on popstoryfinders for the JC/Britney swap story-not JC/Bobbie, although it does feel as though there ought to be one of those, too.

[epicflailer]

heeeeee, pen! thank you for the rec! and now i have 1 new bodyswap story and 1 new UNICORN STORY going onto my to-read list! i can't wait. :D

[pensnest]

Excellent. I can't remember quite why I re-encountered your Sheep story, but it is so cute!

You know, you could make an entire month's rec challenge based just on 'added weirdness' stories :-)

[pensnest]

Absolutely! Although practically every time I rec something, I think - well, that could have gone into X category as well, and when I see other people's recs, I find myself thinking, I hope you've got something for X category because this one would have fitted it really well...

There was a WTF challenge several years ago, which I started to participate in but never finished all the categories. I bet we could have had a February WTF asking for stories in all kinds of bizarre categories. One day definitely isn't enough!
