I mean, yes, sometimes it's the cliche stuff that's the most popular, but everybody's been around fan fiction long enough, at least in reading, to know what's been done. And if it will be a cliche idea, people ought to at least put a fresh spin on it. That and poor spelling or grammar, since it's so easily fixed, yet a lot of authors refuse to fix it.
18) Off the top of your head, what was the most cliche event/plot/character you've ever seen and how would you twist it to make it interesting?

Oh I think its the girl band touring for BSB bit. Thats been done so many times I have that plot burned into my poor abandoned teeny portion of my brain that shall never be used again. What would I do? I wouldn't even let that be the drive for the story, oh sure it'd start out that way, until news of a new species inavding the world came in, and only a few people remain in what seems to be armagaddon. The war and destruction comes slow and sneaky like while the BSB and said girl band tour, until it finally strikes america and the boys are among those who try to stand strong ala Independence day.
But that's just me lol.
19. What is the freshest story idea you've seen that inspired a story of yours? (Not fresh as in OUT there, but just really interesting and creative)

I once read a story - sadly I've forgotten the name of it - where a fan is standing outside the arena hoping to catch a glimpse of the Boys [yes, yes, I know - the usual, but I'm getting there] & Brian waves at her when he spots her & stuff. Then eventually she's let inside & all these wonderful things happen. I believe it was snowing out too. So anyway, all these wonderful things happen & then suddenly she hears someone rapping on a window & she blinks & she's back to reality, where Brian is standing on the otherside of the window. He asks her if she's cold & she says no, so she doesn't get let in or anything - it turned out she'd daydreamed the whole thing!
That fic inspired me to write one very similar to it - I put my own twist on things, I believe in mine it was rainging. Of course, mine has the happier ending - but it's still similar - I just am not sure how similar - but I did give her credit for it [as best I could-I'm not one to remember authors-just fic titles-lol] in an author's note. And no, that fic is not on absolutechaos - it's on my Dream Boys site - so feel free to check it out if yah want. And if you remember what one it's like, pelase tell me.
Most of my fics though, are usually based on dreams or are something I cooked up when I'd too much time on my hands [which is pretty much always-lol]
20) [we're almost there people!] What kind of BSB crossovers do you enjoying reading? Like BSB/TMNT or BSB/N*SYNC or whatever.

Whew that was a long quote! Heh, it's all good.
21) Hmm... I'd have to say BSB and... I don't like this one because I don't read too many crossovers. Probably BSB/N*SYNC or something like that. I know it's a weak answer... sorry! (Moves on to make a new thread)
