I think skeabs wrote Pern!*nsync, didn't she? In All the Heart Can Know (http://www.lostmuse.com/skeabs/heart.html).

And, the Russians. *shudder* I'm good with British and Latinate books, but cannot do Russian and French. They make no sense to me. It's definitely a way of thinking, because sometimes talking to my Russian friend is like reading one of the books and I'm just flattened by the unusal twists and jumps her mind makes!
