Happy birthday, Mr. Fatone. Hope you have all the dancing girls, whipped cream and leather thongs you can shake a stick at.
It's my fandom birthday! Two years ago it was a slow day on the bunny-o-rama list and Helen opened the floor to discussion other than fic bunnies. Specifically, discussion of a sparkly dance boy nature.
I'd heard of NSync. I'd heard of Justin Timberlake. That was about as far as it went at that point. The post ended with an encouragement to step up to the plate and name your favorite.
Attitudes in replies ranged from "they're my secret shame" to out and out embracing the sparkly boy love. As member names were bandied about and personalities discussed, one theme became apparent - JC seemed to be getting a lot of teasing. I'm a bit of a spazz myself, so I was intrigued. I decided that I was clearly out of the loop, and needed a few visuals in order to intelligently follow the on-list conversation.
When I put NSync into Google, and it was all over. I was smitten with JC Chasez the moment I saw him, but when I started reading about him, I was charmed. I've been a JC girl through and through from the very beginning. My first few weeks in the fandom were search engine-intense. I read everything I could find about them, surfed for pictures and interviews and soaked it all up like a sponge.
I fell in love with NSync and I'm still falling.
Happy birthday, Fatone, wherever you are.
Happy anniversary, Chasez, you gorgeous hunk of sweetie pie.
