Fanfic trends

Rose:
I know, I just feel like that's a really good point lol. I mean supporting characters or sveral main characters (and say one or two are fictional, and one or two are BSBs) are cool. Cause like Julilly said, fictional characters are gonna pop up, it's natural. I just don't feel like it's fanfic if there's not even one Backstreet Boy as a main character.

mare:
I agree lol

It would be a good debate topic. If i'm feeling non lazy and motivated i'll make a new thread for it in the debate section later.

That's a good point about main characters vs. supporting.  Honestly, I haven't read any of the stories I was noticing on the recent updates because I'm not interested in reading about fictional kids or fictional sisters, so I don't know about those ones specifically; they might have a nice balance between Backstreet Boys and made-up characters.  But I agree that at least one Backstreet Boy should be a MAIN character if it's to be considered a BSB fanfic.

I include fictional characters in my stories, but they are always either supporting characters or, in the case of a romance, a female lead balanced equally with the lead Backstreet Boy, and when I read, I want the stories to be mostly focused on the Boy(s) too.

There's nothing wrong with writing stories about made-up kids or sisters; AC is a place for all fandoms and original fics, too.  I was just pointing out, I'm surprised by how MANY like this are popping up all of a sudden.  I do hope the trend shifts back to Backstreet-centered fics, but that's just my personal preference.

mare:
I do want to say that I also do put in original characters, they just are never leads and are always supporting characters. LOL

TheDistantHeart:
I haven't noticed before but now that it's mentioned and I checked, I do.

Many stuff float my boat. I don't mind fictional sisters, kids, wives/girlfriends (although I've never read a fanfic about a long lost sister or something lol). But I also like to read fanfics that are especially centered on one or more Backstreet Boys. The type of story doesn't matter to me; romance, drama, fantasy, suspense, AU. All is fine by me, as long as it's well written and the storyline/plot is good.

I just noticed I'm not participating in this trend. I'm busy with two fanfics atm. One is in the POVs of a female lead and Nick and the other is in the POVs of AJ and Nick. I don't know if I should be happy about this or not. I don't know if it's also a trend to read about fictional sisters and kids, and reading fanfics which are only, for example, Nick-centered and no fictional sisters and kids are "out"? Lol.. 'cause my amount of reviews isn't that many. Maybe the interest for those types of fanfics isn't that big right now? :shrug: If that is the reason for my lack of reviews, I sure hope this trend will die down a bit. ;)
