Fan-Tastic

_Everybody knows the best lovers are geeks._

It’s time again for the annual Comic Book and Horror Convention. Normally,

Deke liked to avoid these things. While he may be a well-known actor, he

wasn’t hunky or a beefcake and he was always overlooked. In fact, most people

like to call him 'the geek of geeks'. But, the producers of his popular TV

series don’t care and they order Deke to go. So, while he knows he won’t have

any fun he has no choice but to attend.

Blake harboured a crush on Deke even before the other man became famous. When

he finds out that Deke will be at the convention, Blake knows he has to attend

as well. Since he is trying to promote his own comic, Blake decides that he

can mix a little business with his fun.

To Blake’s dismay, not only does Deke not remember him, but the actor refuses

to believe that Blake could have any romantic feelings for a geek. Blake

decides that he can’t let this opportunity slip through his fingers, though.

He may have given up on Deke all those years ago, but not this time. Will

Blake be able to convince Deke to give him a chance? Or will the final credits

roll before they find love?
