Happy JuC Day 2006! FIC: Something Different

First 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.

Something Different, by foxmonkey

Oh, hell. That was sexy and scary in a way, and different. It's a different JC than I'm used to. I like him. Very much so. And take-charge Justin. And Chris's mouth. Woo.

I liked the parts with the girl, how she eats pop boys for breakfast. 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.

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.

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.

Oh, how much did I love this. I have a real fascinatin with that night. And I'm very sad that the longer whole won't get finished, but thank you so much for letting us have this much.

*whimpers* I want more

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.

I taped it when it was on, but I'm not sure where it is. I watched it when I was writing Skin and Teeth, but I still have no idea what JC was thinking. There's a couple of moments like that that interest me. One of the other ones is an awards show, I can never remember which one, although it's what this icon is from, that Justin, JC and Chris accepted an award for, and JC was trying to get a sentence out and he was taking forever and Chris interrupted him. The look on JC's face as he stepped back to let Chris talk kills me and makes me want to know what went on in the limo afterwards.

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.

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.

Did you post and get this footage yet? I have a small clip of that moment if you weren't able to get it. :)

I would *really* appreciate it if it's not a huge hassle for you to upload/email. I'd love to see it!

If you get your hands on it, I'm dying to see it, too:)
Off to read this story now, lol.

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!

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.

Eeep! I forgot to say thank you! Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. :-)

Wow. Are you sure you don't want to write the rest of that? Because just. Wow.

Yeah, one of these days I may re-work the rest of what's written so that it can be posted. I'm glad that you liked it, though. Thank you! :-)

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!

a) Why are celebrities so stupid? How does it seem like a good idea to do all kinds of drugs and alcohol right before they appear on national television?

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.

oh man.

I loved this. Above all, very believable. And that really gets me. ;)
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!

Thank you for sharing this, I loved the characterisations and the hotness. Pissy JC just owns me!

And I love seeing different writers ideas on that night. I too, of course, would love to see more of this one day.

Just as well you aren't finishing that one. I want to live.

Now that was hot! Very nice characterizations. I just read several stories about the VMAs night for my own JuC Day project, and it's interesting to see a totally different take on the night.

[identity profile] addictedkitten.livejournal.com 2006-03-20 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Um, ohmygod that was hot. Nice to see a story that's less with the angst and romance and more with the, you know, sometimes people do things and it's really random but good. I really liked this a lot.

[identity profile] timberho.livejournal.com 2006-03-23 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
woah.

woah.

fox..there isn't more somewhere? anywhere?

Hot.

mmmmm, love the off-hand casual vibe, how everything's off, no matter how much everyone's pretending otherwise. It just flows right into Justin pinning JC to the wall. I add my voice to the "More, please," chorus.

[identity profile] charlidos.livejournal.com 2006-04-04 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm. This is wonderful. I'm sad the longer story will never be finished... However, this is lovely all by itself. :)
