Fanfic trends

(1/8) > >>

RokofAges75:
I was just skimming through the first page of recent updates on AC and realized that, of the 15 stories there at the time of my posting this (all Bsb fics), 9 of them are stories about the Boys' fictional siblings or children.  Is that the new trend? LOL

I guess the sibling thing is nothing new; I've been reading fanfic for 11 years, and the stories about long-lost sisters were around then, too.  It's just funny all these stories are popping up at the same time.  Are we bored with writing about the Boys themselves, so we're inventing fictional family members to write about instead?

It's interesting to see trends like that pop up in fanfic.  I wonder if everyone got the same idea at the same time, or if they're inspired by each other or the Boys having kids in real life, or what.

Rose:
I gotta say I've noticed it too lol. And it makes you wonder cause in these, the kids are the main focus. It's not about Nick or Brian, etc dealing with being a backstreet dad. Instead, it's about the kid dealing with being a backstreet kid, and they're the main focus.

It looks like it's a trend cause it's been all over the most recent pages lately lol. To each their own, but for me, it's odd. I dunno, I read fanfic to read about the Boys as the focus. Not so much to read about their made up family LOL.

RokofAges75:
Hey, whatever floats your boat.  I just thought it was interesting that there were so many like that on the same page.

(Though, personally, I'd rather read stories about the Boys themselves, too.)

mare:
I've said it before and i'll say it again. It's Backstreet Boys fanfiction. Everything else I poo poo  :plugears: <-- me poo pooing lol

Nah, seriously not sure why trends happen. When Baylee was born there was an influx of kiddie stories.

At least they're not all joining a mini BSB band (or are they? lol)

It seems like there's turn around for everything. Maybe when this trend dies out writing about the actual boys will come back. Maybe? Hopefully? lol

Rose:
I'd love for writing about the actual Boys to come back. That would be nice lol. But hey, whatever people love to do. Writing is for yourself, rather than others. So if that's what people dig... whatever lol. I'll just look for what floats my boat.
