Why does all the crap happen to Nick?

<< < (3/11) > >>

Sinara:
^ I think that's why I had such a hard time writing my "horror/suspense" story awhile back. I couldn't finish it because it was so hard to write about each of the guys getting tortured. It's just so out of my element, but I wanted to experiment. I'm hoping to finish it this summer, though. But that's also why I started writing No Strings Attached. It was another genre out of my usual writing style. I don't usually write NC-17 stories, but I tried it. Now, I'm finding it hard to finish as well, since it's so out of my usual.

I'm a lot like you. I like to write the fluffy, happily-ever-after stories. All these other stories are so much harder for me to write since they are so out there for me.

Hopefully AU won't end up being hard for me to write because i have like 20 AU story ideas I want to work on.

honey:
aww, yeah, this first chapter was really hard for me to write, but when it was finally finished, (while I'm still not sure how well I did with it) I was still kind of proud of myself for doing it. I LIVE for the fluffy happily ever afters so I have a hard time writing out of my element too, but a lot of my growth as a writer has come from forcing myself to do it.


But writing a story about Nick as the lead is hard for me to do in general too. Not as hard as writing AJ. I'm totally with you, Mare, on the AJ thing I can never nail him down as a person.

Nick does show a lot of versatility though, which I think is why I've decided to make him the lead in this story. And I think why I found it the easiest to want to torture him this time. Well, besides Kevin. I think I can pick on Kevin a lot because he's always shown as the leader and the strong one, but deep down I feel like he just takes that role because that's what was handed him and I can picture him being not as strong, but secretly.

When Nick suffers on the inside, the world knows, but Kevin? The man has to suffer too, he just doesn't share that with us. I think I like to imagine what is really going on inside him and what would happen if he just couldn't take it anymore. Like if he cracked and the leader falls.  That was kind of the point of my story "Kevin's Song" but I never did finish that one.  :-[  haha it wasn't light and fluffy enough for me. But I'm getting better at staying out of my comfort zone. Maybe I should go find it and give it another go since apparently I like to torture Kevin and that one was lots of emotional torture. 

mare:
I know jeez poor Kevin! And people say i'm mean lol I would never kill both parents and leave a kid an orphan! :P

I don't kill the BSBs. It's my rule. Everyone else is fair game.

I agree. I think it might be because he's just the overall favorite.

Okay, so I don't count much because I've never finished a fanfic. Well, one short story, but I still don't count, lol. But I have started many fanfics, and I think that I can honestly say that I've never tortured Nick... Unless AJ's smelly feet in his face count. :D

rebellious_one:
*sigh* I like to call Nick my "damsal in distress", because something's always happening to him, or he's always the one that needs saving. I've tortured him in my story "Incomplete" (by killing off his brother) and the sequel to the story, "Empty Spaces" by having these prison guards torture him ruthlessly. I don't really choose Nick to always be in peril or whatever, sometimes it just happens that way, but I kind of prefer keeping him away from always being the one that's hurt, or needs saving or whatever. I like to shed a little light on the other guys, or do it equally.

I think the question for me is why do I have the tendancy to make AJ the vulnerable one in my stories, lol. As to why people tend have all the crap happen to Nick... well, that's a mighty damn good question, lol.
