brooklinegirl and pearl_o have turned me to skater bands. SRSLY. They & several other hilarious and earnest writers are making all kinds of adorable happen with their words.
Except, it was better before I read anything about the actual dudes and listened to their actual bands. Cause, right: that's why I haven't read slash about real people - the more realistic it is, the more invasive it seems. My favorite ridiculously cute pairing is less fun if there's enough 'canon' behind it to make it a plausibly true story. If it's not just totally someone's wacky imaginings, it feels pretty creepy.
I get the fanfic impulse, though. Those are some very precious dudes. I can totally support wanting them to make out.
