Featured Story of the Month for June 2008 - Why i'd do it all Again by Mare
mare:
Hello ;D
Yes, it's me. I know there will be a few of you all ::) "Are you serious? She gave herself her own month? Like Oh my Godz she's the worst person like ever!" But to you I say...eh? I deserve one just like everyone else.
I really have been hesitant about doing this seriously because I know how it looks but I was convinced otherwise so this month is mine. Obviously i'm not going to be my own Oprah because that would just be sad lol so Sarah and Rose are tag-teaming me this month. They picked this story so I hope you enjoy. It's not my usual suspense, someone is going to get slightly maimed type of tale but nontheless it's probably been the most read fic I have written.
So, here's the link:

1) Tell us one thing about your story that no one else knows?
2) How long did it take you to write this entire story?
3) Give us a summary different from the one you have posted on AC, with a few more spoilers to make people tune in.
4) If you could cast this story as a movie who would play the main roles and why?
5) Have you ever thought of giving up on the story and if you did what made you continue to work on it?
6) What was your writing process? (Outline, make it up as you go along, the characters wrote it, I am Tonja and plagerized lol)
7) Who was your favorite character in this story and why?
8 ) You had to know this was coming, who was your least favorite?
9) Are all the boys in this one? If not why did you choose to exclude them?
10) If we like this story...then we'd love what story? (Could be by you or someone else) and obviously tell us why lol

Congratulation s, Mare! Obviously for any of the critics out there it was me that chose Mare but I'm a lazy bum and forced Mare to intro her own story and that's how it works in AC Mod-land.
Here's my question: Is there a chapter, or moment, in the story that you now wish you could go back and change?
mare:
1) Tell us one thing about your story that no one else knows?
Hrmm, i'm not sure if there's anything overly secretive about it. What people might not realize is that I got the title from the unreleased song Memories? There's a line saying oh I... I'd do it all again but it sounds like Why and I thought that would make a great name for this story. I'm usually not big on taking lines from songs and making them into titles but I did it this time.
2) How long did it take you to write this entire story?
I'm usually really bad at remembering this stuff but for whatever reason I put in the actual summary of the story when I started posting it and that was Sept 2005 and I finished it shortly after Kevin decided to call it quits so I guess it took me at least a year and a half to finish it. It was my longest story by far.
3) Give us a summary different from the one you have posted on AC, with a few more spoilers to make people tune in.
I actually think this is one of the only summaries I really like that is the most accurate lol but I shall try! *damn me and my hard, Oprah like questions!*
Come join the guys as they meet after their long break and work together on creating Nevergone. Listen to Kevin, Howie, Brian, AJ and Nick's opinions on things as they get set for the next chapter of their lives and see how they deal with all the roadblocks along the way? How is that?
4) If you could cast this story as a movie who would play the main roles and why?
Because this is pretty much set up to be like a documentery I can only see the guys playing themselves. If this was a different story i'd be more creative with my answer, but for this one, there really isn't one. lol
5) Have you ever thought of giving up on the story and if you did what made you continue to work on it?
This was the first time I really began to struggle with updating a story and there were times when I thought I wouldn't finish it, especially in the midst of all the Kevin drama happening, but I also know I am not a quitter so I was pretty sure I would finish it eventually.
6) What was your writing process? (Outline, make it up as you go along, the characters wrote it, I am Tonja and plagerized lol)
I just wrote as I went along. I'm not big on outlines although because I got a lot of this stuff from things that actually happened, I did find myself doing a bit of research. The guys usually just posess me and write their own parts anyway. lol
7) Who was your favorite character in this story and why?
I loved AJ in this one. I usually really struggle with him but he was a lot of fun to write for this one because I enjoyed his optimism throughout the recording process.
8 ) You had to know this was coming, who was your least favorite?
I suck at Howie. I had the HARDEST time with him for this one lol
9) Are all the boys in this one? If not why did you choose to exclude them?
Of course they are!
10) If we like this story...then we'd love what story? (Could be by you or someone else) and obviously tell us why lol
I think if you liked this one, you'd enjoy Come Together by Izzy and Cecilia because it's a very similar idea but their's takes place at the time when the guys first met.

YAY Julilly asked me the first question!!
I think if I could redo anything, I probably wouldn't have harped on the Nick and Paris issue so much. Maybe if I had waited a little longer to write on it, most likely I wouldn't have gone on and on about it lol but at the time that whole thing was SUCH a mess that I felt like it was a pretty important part of the Never Gone story. In retrospect, it probably wasn't.
