As for the boysband thing

[bubosquared]

I like music. I like all sorts of music. For some reason it has to have vocals for me to be able to like it. Usually. I mean, I love Orion, and there's some dance music I like. So basically, while I'm more likely to like some kinds of music more than others, I don't think there's a single genre I don't like any song at all in. I'm a musical omnivore.

And you know, wether I like or don't like the music has no effect at all on wether I like or don't like the people behind it, or on my ability to slash them.

I like NSync. Their music, yes, but also themselves. I think Chris is a freak with a wonky sense of humour, JC is a spaz who writes cybersex songs, Joey is cuddly, Justin is funny and adorably young and puppie-ish and Lance is a southern belle flameboy. Sure, some of all that may be manufactured, but I really cannot believe all of it is. There has to have been something there to build on, yo. Plus, as Gui said, even the Beatles were manufactured to some extent. Hell, as I said in response, even Bob freaking Dylan's image is largely manufactured.

And frankly, if you're judging fanfic based purely on the fandom, if you're judging writers as people as as artists based on the fandom, then you're prejudiced, pure and simple.
