That makes a lot of sense. I mean, there are a lot of people who I don't have an interest in behind the music or the acting. I can't imagine slashing Reba McEntire, but I adore her music. Or Patrick Swayze, in the acting side of things. I love him, but have no interest whatsoever in Patrick fic. A couple of his characters, OTOH...
Yes, yes, yes. I know what you mean.
I really do like the BSBs as slash characters better than their music (not that I hate it, I have a couple of their CDs, it's just not something I seek out), and I've barely heard any NSync stuff, but I'm compulsively reading slash about them.
I was thinking about this, and there are people I love as entertainers who don't strike that writing/interest place in me, and there are people I love to read and write who I don't have a connection with as entertainers.
I think fascination is the right word. Sometimes it hits like a bolt of lightning. Other times it's a smouldering fire.
I would love to read it too. But I know I couldn't write it.
Oh, and yes - Joan Baez. I wouldn't mind slash about her either...rowr.
