Ooh yes a groundvaark! And maybe Mare the groundhog can leave her little groundvaark on Nick's doorstep to raise as his own :(  Aww Nick the daddy to a groundvaark.

:D And then the groundhog crawls back in her little hole and imagines how Nick is the father of her baby.

:D

Yea I've noticed the top 10 thing too. Nick stories have always been the most plentiful and I personally find him the easiest to write about. I stopped holding too much stock in the Top 10 anyway. It was fun at first, but now they don't really change much and in all honesty a few of those stories don't belong there.

But I've always written stories revolving around Nick and a girl. I don't think I could write as convinciengly about any of the other guys. I like to focus on relationships too. I have to have that female character in there too. I guess a lot of fics are pulling away from that now, but I'm very happy with the way I write.

Nick is the easiest for me to write too. I struggle with Howie and Kevin. Brian I think I can pull off, and AJ is a blast when I get him right lol. I put Nick through a lot, but I think in my one romance, I get him down the best cause I'm taking him on in 1st person.

I think that's because when you write in first person, you have to try to get into the head of the character more, as opposed to just attempting to get into their head in third person.

True, I just hate how narrow 1st person can be, hence me having two POVs lol

I think for me AJ is probably the most difficult and then Nick next.

If Ryan looked at me the wrong way, I lost it. If Ryan looked at me the right way, I lost it. And whenever he tried to kiss me, something usually blew up. Someone ought to teach him a little control.

Or you could just... Write it from the first person view of everyone and change it each chapter. :D

Some of the babysitter's club books read like that, and then people's chapters crossed paths event-wise... Needless to say, it was all very confusing.

LMAO!!!  That is too funny cause I always think of those Babysitter's Club Super Specials when I think of stories with multiple first POVs that actually sorta worked.  Remember how they started the chapters with diary entries written in the different handwriting?  Ahh, I loved Babysitter's Club.

Aww me too! And I loved the super specials! I never got confused because every chapter did start with some kind of diary and I liked how the POV's switched in them. OMG the goo old BSC. Can we say memories or what? lol
