hah, the transition happened because Justin with his new Millennium crew-cut kinda looked like Orlando Bloom with a crew-cut, and so someone in the LoTRps fandom wrote Orli coming out of a store in London and running into a pining-for-Justin Chris... and maybe they hooked up? Or maybe they just had intense conversations? However it happened, Orli was motivated to stop dancing around things with Viggo and there was a happy ending for them (and I think for the TrickC, too...?) That got me started and there was enough already posted fic to suck me in (and it was written well enough that I didn't run screaming for the hills.)
Joshtin tended to be, um, overwrought? Cheating, abuse, magical healing (though really euphemistically described) sex, people going blind, people being turned into horses, etc, etc, etc. Not that JuC didn't sometimes have that, too, but you could generally tell the style by the tag.
And yes, my word, did we love our portmanteaus! TrickyFish, Basez, (or LaC, though there wasn't much difference between those two pairing names, not like the JuC and the joshtin), TrickC, Lambs (ok, not so much a portmanteau as a general description) -- and that was before you got into the genderswaps.
I never did write threemanbus, but I wrote a lot of various combinations of it, with the third guy in as moral support. I think that's because I looked at them in real life once and said, 'this shit writes itself' and never quite felt the need to write it fictionally. I might have written some drabbles with all 3 of them... hmmm, I'll have to go look and see what's way back on lj...
