But I'm not talking about just a mention of the famous person. I'm talking about them being a character. Even someone like Leighanne.... she has fans, so I think it's still considered fanfic.

But like you said, Steph, it really doesn't matter.

I don't know it's kind of like those movies where they say starring Leo Dicaprio! (or any genereic big movie star) and everyone goes to see the movie and it turns out Leo is only in it for 30 seconds. If I went to go see the movie because I thought it was a Leo movie and he wasn't really the focal point, i'd be pissed. Would you still consider that a Leo movie? Even if he was only in it for 30 seconds? I know I wouldn't.

Sakabelle:
I would consider it Backstreet Boys fanfic if the fact that the original character was related to a backstreet boy was important.  If say, Howie was just their parent and Howie could just as easily be replaced with an average joe with minimal impact to the overall plot then I would say it's not BSB fiction.  However, if the story was about Howie's son dealing with the fact that Howie was a backstreet boy and kids sang I Want It That Way all the time to tease him, I'd be more likely to classify that as BSB fiction.

Leighanne is a real person though. We're talking about original characters, fictional people.
