16) What story pulled you out of your writing comfort zone and why?
Just Another Day, its in 1st person POVs (switches from Nick to Cally, but you can tell the difference easily), when i write in 3rd, its almost not AU, and its romance. Its me challenging myself lol.
17) Name a relatively unknown writer who you feel needs to be recognized, one of her/his fics and why.
Lucky, she writes Orlando Bloom fanfic but her stories are just amazing I think.
http://wicked-muse.livejournal.com/18.) Has a music video inspired one of your stories? How?
Yes, Larger than Life inspired Rebirth (along with the movie Titan A.E but anyway lol) oddly even though you can't tell at ALL in the fic lol. Except for the fact Kevin's the pilot.
19.) What skill do you feel you need to work on as a writer?
More diciplined, definitely.
20.) What do you feel is your best skill as a writer?
I'd like to think I'm really good with characters, I hate one dimmensional characters so I give them backgrounds as soon as I can, to make them real and give them quirks. I also like to think I think pretty outside of the box for a writer lol.
21) If someone started professionally publishing Backstreet novels (multi-genre; anything from suspense to action to romance), would you be likely buy them?
LOL it would depend on the plot, cause I'm kind of picky. Obviously the writing skill would be validated by the fact it was published, but if the plot intrigued me, hell yeah lol
22) On which TV show would you most want to see the BSB guest star--either as themselves or as characters on the show? (Can have them all on the same show, or if prefer they’re each guest staring on different shows--which one stars on which show?)
hahaha I would love them to be on Heroes, or Angel, or Buffy, take your pick lol.
23) If you tired of writing BSB, do you think you would continue to write fanfiction for another fandom, or would it likely be the end of your fanfic “career”?
I don't think I would, I'd prolly hop to Original Fiction. I've dabbled in Buffy, and added Orlando Bloom to a few fics, but all I've done is BSB so I doubt I'd keep doing fanfic.
24) What Alternate Universe would you most want to see a story about? (examples: BSB as doctors, as firefighters, as police officers, as squirrels (hmm actually I challenge anyone to write that one!)
Secret Agents, oh wait, doing that LOL. Something with them in roles like in the show Heroes, now that'd be pretty awesome.
25) Going back to question# 11. What would it take for you to reconsider writing a fic of that dreaded genre? (i.e. Would you if challenged? Would you for money? For a best friend’s birthday? Under absolutely no circumstances?)
I cannot write slash, at all lmao. So yeah, nothing could get me to try.
26) What influences you to continue writing? Is it reader support, number of reviews, your own determination, or something else? Why does it influence you?
a mixture of all of it.
27) Was there ever a time you felt that you could no longer write fan fiction and took a "hiatus"? What did you do during that time?
No, there have been times I've put fics on hold cause I couldn't write them, but I always try to now and then cause I hate letting idead die.
28) If for some reason, due to circumstances beyond your control, you were forced to give up your fan fiction career, who would you want to finish your incompleted works?
my friend Lucky, she gets my stories best cause she writes a little out there herself hehe.
29) If you could no longer write fan fiction, what is the one thing you would like to be remembered for?
I'd love to be remembered as a good writer, lol but although I've been at this since 14, I'm pretty invisible LOL so who knows what I'd be remembered for.
30) What is your main goal in your writing? Do other people influence this goal, or is it more of a singular thing?
to write for me and make a story that others enjoy as well as myself.
31) Do you share your fan fiction with the people you know outside of the internet? Or is it a secret part of you that only us special people get to see?
hahaha HELL NO lol
32) Kind of relating to #29, if you were asked to select one of your fanfics to be put in a time capsule and preserved, which one would you choose and why?
Either my collab Rebirth, or one of my own, As Reality Crumbles, its not that far along, and its dark, but I'm pretty proud of it.
33) Name a story you read the summary of or heard a synopsis of and scoffed, thinking it sounded like a terrible idea, and then read, only to be pleasantly surprised by how good it was.
Broken, I thought it was going to be far too cliched but it got recommended to me by my friend Summer, who knew I was fic hunting. So not what I thought it'd be LOL.
34) If one of the Backstreet Boys emailed you and said that he had stumbled onto your site/fanfics, what would your reaction be? (Let's say you know for sure that it's the real him, not a poser.)
"Oh...shit...yo
u guys didn't read one called As Reality Crumbles did you?!" Then I'd prolly pass out lol.
35) As a follow-up to #34, if you had the chance (or were forced) to give one of your stories to the Boys to read, which one would it be and why?
Rebirth, or Code Blue, both safe, both AUs, neither romance, and neither torture anyone lmao. They'd be safe.
36) Name a story that you think would make an excellent book (as in a published novel) or movie, and tell us why you think so.
East Water Convergence, its so entailed and has symbolism out the ying yang, and well developed characters and there were a TON in there. I could totally see it as a book or movie, had it not been stopped.
37) Is there any story that you think could make a great screenplay for a movie (if it were made into non-BSB or if it’s an AU)? If so, which one?
East Water Convergence, seriously, it was awesome lol.
38) What is one thing that shows up in stories that bothers you (for example, Nick falls in love *author's name* or teeny plots, etc)?
When the girl is Mary Sue looking in romances, the perfect model type that is supposed to be hollywood looking but "normal". Which is why I started Just Another Day. Also, when the cliches are insanely obvious.
39) When you read a synopsis for a story, what would make you not want to read the story (i.e. what about the story idea would turn you away from it)? Why?
The words "romance" in the genre lol, unless its from an author who I already am a fan of. I'm extremely picky with that cause most of it is overdone. I tend to read more suspense, action, supernatural, horror
40) If you could make a trailer for one of your fics, which one would that be? Describe a little how this trailer would look like.
Oh god LOL. Lets see Rebirth since I just updated this one... probably show attacks, centering down on the main band of people, with the voice over..."Sometimes you can't choose your own fate..." then it centers on the space station being destroyed and the few who survive... "but it can always choose you." And then it focuses on Nick, Orlando, Brian, Rhade and Jersey...fade to black.
41) Relating to #37 here…which actors/actresses would you like to act out the main characters in this movie?
See the banner for it LOL. Orlando, the girl who was Alice in Resident Evil, Monica Bellucci, and if I couldn't have Nick, Ryan Philippe, and if I couldn't have Brian, Shane West.
43) What was the most messed up plot you've ever seen in a fan fiction?
Nick and Angel visual. Yes, ew. Incest. EW! lol
44) Do you base your ideas off of real events that happen to the guys, or do you make things up?
Nope, I kind of did in Just Another Day with a character named "London Miffton" which is really Paris Hilton, but at the time I had considered making this Original Fiction, so thats why its not Paris. But in it, Nick had the horror break up he did with Paris, so sort of did there. But its not common, I totally make everything up LOL
45) How do you feel about integrating lyrics into fics. Good idea or bad idea?
I like to post lyrics I feel fit before chapters, but I don't do that with all my stories. So I'm for it, if it fits.
