So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
PMM, you've dipped into the slash of sparkly dancing boys? Now I'm curious as to in what waters you've been wetting your toes.
Lately, I've been reading a lot of Eminem. Who isn't sparkly, but it all started with NSync....
Specifically, it all started with an NSync gender switcher that had me howling. Hell, I've read some of the stuff you've got up. One of the stories made my week. Can't remember which one.
Lots of people on my friendsfriends list at LJ are popslashers. So they write a bit, I read a bit.
My list of choice is Silverlake. There's plenty of SDBs there. I'm weirdly addicted to any SDB (or cranky Detroit White Boy) crossover with TV stuff. Eminem/Lex, etc.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did you read that Krycek/Eminem piece, PMM?

Oh! Which one? Because that is how my evil popgurlie friends suckered me into all this in the first place. I think it was the one where Joey wakes up a girl.
That might be it. It was recommended somewhere.
Yeah, I dug Hiatus. Think I was even moved to send feedback.

I think it was Stacked.
It was fucking fun.

Yes, waking up a girl fics are always a riot. Well, except when written badly and then it's just sad and wrong.

Okay, on the subject of RPS, I just heard about the following Ian McKellen quote and find it rather fascinating:
Q: My fellow yahoogroup members and I all respect you, the cast, crew, and movie itself. Most of us indulge in a hobby called 'fanfic.' A great deal of us write (or read) 'slash,' and a few members write 'RPS' (Real Person Slash.) What are your thoughts on such things? Do you consider them slanderous to your good character and/or to the good character of any actor/movie/etc?
A: I am not well acquainted with slash but find nothing harmful in haring fantasies about favourite characters or their interpreters. Within the context of such sites even Real Person stories seem unobjectionable as they are clearly fictional.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
To move to a slightly different tangent (all this puppyslash discussion is intresting, but I'm still on the LJslash thing) it seems to me that were as what RL is aiming at is to create a new fic character the same way that she's created her other fic characters, what some of the rest of us are doing is creating Mary-Sues for other people, if that makes any sense.
A Mary-Sue is self-insertion; my kind of LJslash is insertion of somebody else. The other characters even react the way they would to a Mary-Sue.
Does that make sense? I may have thought about it too much.
