Uh, greetings. Apparently I am somewhat of an asshat, and I've gotten it in my head (heart?) that 510 AU's where Justin dies are the coolest thing since sliced bread. I deeply desire wishing-for-what-could-have-been!Brian.

Help a sister fellow out? :D

ETA: Links in comments to the death. Of course, now I've realized I'm one of those weepy people, so living in a hole is starting to sound nice.

Ouch! My heart hurts from reading your request.

Congratulations on working out :)

Alas, the sad often calls me too. I usually don't answer it though. I don't know of any post-510 Justin dies fics. Of course I don't really read death!fics on a regular basis.

I'd say good luck but Justin death!fics make my heart hurt :(

Me too. These type of posts will one day make me leave this group. Reading that someone gets off on Justin dying is not how I want to start my day.

A lot of us are serious about Brian and Justin. Your post was enough to make me quit the group. People who are interested reading about Justin's death are not worth associating with.

And here I thought this was a group dedicated to acceptance of alternative and open ways of thinking. I guess this fandom is as closed minded as the rest.

No problem, I like a good death!fic here and there, the NaNo one made me feel all tingly and sad like. I realllly like death fics when one dies and the last one is a line where the other follows, it is just so perfect.

Gotta ask, what is the situation around your icon?

...Are you serious? Seriously serious? (and not about B/J, ha, but this post...) I don't see what the problem is. I doubt anyone here is getting off on Justin dying. Death is a very big and very emotional part of life (duh) - it's cathartic and a welcome *emotional* release, at times, to experience it through characters that we love. And sometimes a good deathfic is just what I need - it nearly kills me to see the character go...but that's kind of the point.

If *she* weren't "serious" about Brian and Justin, I doubt Justin deathfics would hold any interest. You cry over someone you care about.

And sometimes you need a good cry.

PS - bookgirl, I think you've handled this thread amazingly. Sorry, my pockets are empty in the way of deathfics, but if I ever find any worth phoning home about, I'll let you know.

Erm, yes, you would be bookgirl. Apparently my page scrolling ability leaves something to be desired. :P

I don't think you came off as an ass - at least not to people who didn't have their heads stuck up their own to begin with. You gave much more respectful answers to comments than I would have, that's for sure. Death might not be everyone's cuppa, but such is life. I mean, I don't like feet. That doesn't make me a good or bad person. It makes me a person who doesn't like feet.
