The Found *NSYNC Fan Fiction Radio Hour

NSYNC Fan Fiction #5 (A Ray of Blight Mini-Episode)

We birthed a monster!!!! NSYNC Fan Fiction started out as its own segment on Ray of Blight, but it has now been given its own life. All for you (and for us because we enjoy it so), here's what we do on each episode: we chronologically read aloud pages of one author's NSYNC fan fiction, from a binder found at a thrift store in Chicago. We have not read ahead, so you're experiencing each page with us IN REAL TIME.

Yeah yeah yeah, the last episode of Ray of Blight was the fifth episode, but it included the fourth installment of NSYNC Fan Fiction. That's why this is labelled as the fifth episode for NSYNC Fan Fiction. Try not to cry. Oh fine, here's a tissue.
