What is it about Coming Clean these days...

[revid]

I just went back about 100 entries, which is about 10 days or so, looking for Billie Joe/Mike slash, which is about all I read these days. I kid you not, if you exclude drabbles and young!Billie/Mike (because I doubt anyone can ever improve upon al_teregoz's seminal work), there were all of about half a dozen Billie/Mike fics. Seriously.

What's up with that? When did everyone turn into a Billie/Tré 'shipper?

What's up with that? When did everyone turn into a Billie/Tré 'shipper?

When I first got into the slash game, I was a strictly Billie/Mike girl...I guess I just thought that there's so much oppotunity there because of shared history and closeness of the relationship and all that jazz. I still think that, but...I've since been brought over to the other side.

So why am I now almost entirely a Billie/Tre girl? I'd like to blame thank al_teregoz entirely for my conversion, but she's not the only factor. I can't really explain it, there's just something in the tension between those two, in my (admittedly perverted) mind, it's almost tangible. The comments that you're never quite sure whether they're joking about, the gratuituous eye-fucking...yeah. If those two have not fooled around at some point, I'll be damned.

But hey, that sure doesn't mean I'm close-minded. I could get into any pairing if a story was well-written, and although I haven't been around long enough around here to have read any of your stuff, from what everyone else above me has said (and the little story from the other day) you're a hell of a writer. Like leighrowena said ^^, that first passage you contributed to our game was pretty breathtaking. Could we be expecting some slash from you soon? *hint*

Oh, and that animation gets me every time, too. It just looks so natural...;)

The funny thing is, if you asked me to put cold hard cash down on a bet on which pair was more likely in real life I'd have to say Billie/Tré too. I had this discussion with _somniac_ & luthien123 during our East Bay pilgrimage. On the analog scale that is human sexuality, it seems pretty likely that Mike is probably closer to the pure heterosexual axis than the other two, but still, my brain just loves Billie/Mike anyway.

So while my fangirling for al_teregoz & angie_aiken knows no bounds, I remain unconverted. :-)

(I'm working on a fic now, but it's going very slowly......thank you for the kind words!)

Man, you couldn't have put my thoughts into words more succinctly there. But hey, your Billie/Mike love is totally cool - I have a special place in my heart for it, too. That's why it's fiction, right? Speaking of which, nice to know you're working on something! ;)

Late late LATE (shame, SHAME) but yes we totally DID! And it was fantastic.
