February Festival - playing catch-up

Alright, fine, so I disappeared for a day or two. Sue me. :)

Day 6 - great dialogue

Two Straight Guys in Wisconsin: The Amazing Adventures of Chris and His Cock by Rhys (Chris/Lance)
http://www.dirtystory.net/experimentv/twostraight.html
For all my bitching and moaning that I'm not a Trickyfish person, I've always thought this story contained some excellent exchanges. And while Chris conversing with his own junk may not qualify as "dialogue", per se, it's still some mighty entertaining stuff.

Day 7 - a crossover with another fandom you knew before you read the story

One Night in Sunnydale and the World's Your Oyster by Sperrywink (Chris/JC)

Taking the boys of Nsync, throwing them into the Buffyverse and topping it all off with a dash of good old-fashioned TrickC pining is about as clever a move as I've ever seen. :)

Day 8 - a piece that's presented in an unexpected way

The Song of Chris Kirkpatrick by pensnest (Chris/JC)
http://www.pensnest.co.uk/Pop%202009/hiawatha.html
An epic (and epically funny) poem written in the style of H W Longfellow's The Song of Hiawatha, a work that I was unhappily forced to memorize in the sixth grade but which will now forevermore be associated in my mind with popslash hilarity.

Well, that pounding-drumbeat-rythm IS very provocative. :) And now I'm thinking about the idea of popslash poetry in general - it should totally be A Thing. (That might be a good idea for a challenge sometime: one in which each poem is written in the style of a different famous poet. Or I guess it could always scare people away from writing challenges altogether.)

I'm trying to keep my recs obscure, but I just took a peek at the themes for the next few days and I'm afraid they're about to get very obvious, very fast.
