Justin's love of junk food - canon/fandom; beta comm?

[cowboystracker.livejournal.com]

I'm working on a couple of fics and trying to stick as close to canon as possible. I've read a lot of stories where Justin tries to get Brian to agree to order pizza. So my question is: Justin's love for junk food such as pizza, cheeseburgers, etc., is it canon or fandom?

Also, I'm looking for a beta. I have been told there is a beta comm that may or may not be active. What I really need is a beta who is familiar with Simon's 'The Other Foot' series since one of the fics is based on her series. If you know where I can find the beta comm or if you are interested in doing a bit of beta work, please let me know.


ETA: Justin's appetite is definitely canon. From all the comments and a few of the scenes that were cited, I have decided that Justin's love of junk food to be more fandom than canon. As vasilikii pointed out Justin ordered gourmet foods in the NY hotel in season 1. (I did check out the scene, just for the food of course. *smirk*) And more of us remember Brian eating more junk food than Justin. ;)

There is a tag for the beta comm. Thanks Court!

Thanks for all the help! You guys are the best!

Right it depends on the timeline. If someone were writing him as Justin in Season 1, it could be argued that he would eat some junk food, food that he'd eaten at his parents' house. But, if you're aging him, he certainly wouldn't have had the same appetite. Even in the show, he cooks for himself in the latter seasons. If you wanted him out of character, he would be eating junk food at a later age. A lot of people make this mistake.

haha, I didn't see this before I replied above. Yep.

The fic takes place around the timeline of season 5 (Justin's about 21-22) and is AU from episode 3.09 so anything prior to that episode would be canon to my fic and anything after that episode is more or less AU. But I don't want to change the characters from canon if I can help it.
