Let's make a BSB fanfic drinking game!
« on: July 05, 2009, 04:32:26 PM »
I'm in the process of reformatting all of my hosted stories to move to my domain because of the big Geocities shutdown, and as I'm skimming through every chapter of every story I have on my site, I'm getting a kick out of looking at these old-school fanfics.  Blast from the past!

Anyway, I was thinking of those drinking games, where you take a sip every time such-and-such happens.  I did a search to see if there was one for Bsb fanfic, and there are some for a lot of other fandoms, but not ours, not that I could readily find.  I think we need one! LOL

So let's use this thread to list some things you think should go on the list.  You can use cliches and trends from both old-school fanfics and current ones.

Here's a few examples to get us started...

- The author uses a tag like "At Nick's house" or "The next day" or "One hour later" to set the scene.
- A whole paragraph is dedicated to what the main character is wearing.
- Carson Daly is mentioned.


Add on! :)

Just for fun...  This is the Bsb Drinking Game from probably 1999 or earlier... I have a copy of this printed out from way back in the day! LOL

I also wanna say that this isn't intended to make fun of anyone's stories... I have used all three of the things I mentioned as examples, so I'm as guilty as anyone else of cliches! LOL

LOL those are all great, and I'm pretty sure I have one story from way back when which includes all of those.

Here's some more...

-It is assumed all the BSB live very close to one another
-Nick falls in love with his best friend
-Without question, Kevin takes on the role as the "father" of the group

Hum...fan fic drinking game?!? Sounds fun!

How about....

The lead Boy gives up something he LOVES for the lead lady. (like AJ not wearing sunglasses anymore cuz she loves his eyes, LOL)

Nick tells a CORNY joke. (that only HE finds funny)

Howie goes into his famous peacemaker mode and makes everything a-ok again.

There are absolutely NO flaws in the Boy's relationship with his woman. (after all, they are PERFECT for each other and have nothing they could possibly fight or disagree about!)

I've been compiling a list and here's what I have come up with.

Anytime the nicknames Frick, Frack, Bone, lil' man and Rok are used. (You'd be drunk if you were reading my stuff) lol

Anytime the female lead 'happens' to have the same name as the author, you have to take one swig everytime the name is mentioned.

Whenever a bus crash, car crash or plane crash occurs.

Whenever random BSB song lyrics are inserted for no reason.

Whenever the villian of the story is the bodyguard, nanny or Leighanne.

Whenever someone uses loose instead of lose.

Whenever you see Brain instead of Brian.

Whenever a doctor comes out and over explains symptoms to everyone.

An extra shot if it's about cancer.

Whenever the first word of the chapter starts with the name of the female lead.

Whenever Howie is described as 'the latino' lol

Whenever you see the words 'dude' or 'man'

Whenever you see the word 'orbs'

hrmm....that's all I have for now.

lol

LMFAO those are all good ones!

"Anytime the female lead 'happens' to have the same name as the author, you have to take one swig everytime the name is mentioned."

Depending on the story, that one alone would have you completely wasted after a few chapters! LOL

Here's a few more...

- The story has a banner with a Backstreet Boy and a random girl on it.
- The Backstreet Boy is Nick.
- The girl is a celebrity.
- The girl is an actual photo, most likely of the author.
- The summary contains a question.  (One drink per question.)
- The story or chapter has the same title as a Backstreet Boys song.
