foxmonkeyFirst off, Happy JuC Day! Sings: It's the most wonderful time of the year... My apologies to the songwriter. Anyway! JuC Day means JuC fic!
This is new only in the sense that no one has ever read it. It's a longish part of something that was supposed to be much, much, much longer, something I realize now will probably never be finished. It stands on its own though, so here it is. The story takes place on the night of Justin's solo performance at the VMAs.

You walk this lovely fine line between using a lot of colloqialisms and slang to make it sound current and young, but without drawing attention to yourself in the process--it's just there in an seemingly effortless way, and not like you're trying.
...something I realize now will probably never be finished.
:-( Sorry to hear that.

Date: 2006-03-19 02:35 am (UTC)Wow, thank you, what a lovely compliment! That's one of the things I appreciate most when I read, natural-sounding dialogue, so I'm glad it works in my own fic.

:-( Sorry to hear that.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it! I may yet re-work the remaining bits so that I can post everything I've written so far.

I loved that whole backstage thing afterward. I think it was included in Justin's album diary. If I had DVR'd that sucker I'd *still* be trying to figure out exactly what was going on. That was one of the most interesting slices of inter-group dynamics I've ever seen.
For just a few seconds there, they completely forgot the cameras were around. The weirdness on JC's face...man, I wish I had that footage right now. Fascinating stuff.

Date: 2006-03-19 03:02 am (UTC)Do y'all mind if I lift some of what you're saying here so I can post in my LJ begging for someone to upload this footage? I'm dying to see it now after reading this.
footageproject.org has the 2002 VMAs were Justin does this protracted dance number on a faux boombox. Is that the performance? Because it doesn't included the Joe/JC bit after.
no subject
Date: 2006-03-19 03:18 am (UTC)Yep, that's the one. Justin had an MTV Diary for the album launch, and I'm 99.99% sure the footage was from that. *Really* interesting stuff. Justin looked like he was about to vomit and he turned to JC for a bit o' tough lovin' and Joey jumped right in there with the hammy dancing. OMG, I've never wanted to smack someone up 'side the head more than I wanted to pop Joey at that moment. ;-) Justin grinned and JC just...faded into the curtains. Very, very weird moment.

Thanks, babe! I downloaded the snippet. JC's working a seriously bizarre vibe, there, and I will always wonder what might have been said (if anything) if Joey hadn't jumped in when he did!
no subject
Date: 2006-03-23 04:23 am (UTC)I remember JC watching that exchange intensely (is that a word? lol) and Joey jumping in. I really wonder what was said when the cameras weren't rolling. I would think that Justin and JC had a conversation about it.
JC though.. defintely a weird vibe. Even after seeing the Diary footage, it still left you wondering what the hell was going on.

There's actually more of this written, but this is the segment that could stand alone. One of these days I'll re-work the whole of what's written so it can see the light of day. :-)
I'm glad that you liked it! Thank you!

Date: 2006-03-19 02:34 am (UTC)b) As long as it results in fics like this, they can go on being stupid. Awesome - and it just works for Justin to take matters into his own hands, so to speak.
no subject
Date: 2006-03-19 03:20 am (UTC)LOL! Thank you. :-) Yeah, alcohol and national TV do not mix!
oh man.
Date: 2006-03-19 02:51 am (UTC)THANK YOU!
Re: oh man.
Date: 2006-03-19 04:06 am (UTC)THANK YOU!
Thank you. I'm glad to hear that it was believable. I've always been intrigued by JC's darker side, and this was the perfect backdrop to explore that. I'm glad you liked it!

Date: 2006-03-19 05:34 am (UTC)And I love seeing different writers ideas on that night. I too, of course, would love to see more of this one day.
