Did a pig just fly past?

Congratulations to [livejournal.com profile] ms_manna and [livejournal.com profile] pensnest for successfully pimping popslash to me.

The Earl of Rothinghamtonfordshire. Knowledge of "Boy Bands" matters less than knowledge of Georgette Heyer and what it's like to read and/or write stories (OK, perhaps it helps a little to have somehow (how?!) memorized the names of the members of N*Sync). Brilliant.

Thanks for the link - I was going to go and look for it myself at some point!

And the zombies, of course. Don't forget the zombies.

It's a hoot. Enjoy!

*sputters with laughter*

Two thirds of it had me rolling on the floor, giving incoherent noises that made my kids come running to look if Mama was sick. The rest was darling (and this said from someone who generally doesn't even like slash!)

Thanks so much for the link - and congrats to your two awards from the MEFAs!

It's such enormous fun!

Thank you for the congrats - and congratulations to you too!

Hehehe. That was fun - especially the first two-thirds of the implied slashiness. I enjoyed that more than the actual slash, actually, because the punchlines, recurrent jokes and meta-ness were utter genius...!

Great stuff, isn't it? I note that more similar recs have been made upthread...

Oops, no they weren't they were made somewhere else!

I was supposed to be earning my day's honest wage while I was reading that. Boy-camaraderie and meat-teenage-humour will be the downfall of capitalist slavery, I now see.

meta*, even. Teenage meat is really not my thing. Yet.

Not this early in the morning.

Although I wouldn't say no to tea and a scone.

Ooh, now that's a good idea...

Don't think that going all Sisko on me will help now. There is no way back. :-)
