This is the thread that pushed me to step out from my lurking mode. lol
Mostly because I've a question to ask. Why there aren't a lot of fanfiction set during the heart surgery time? And I don't mean only the operation itself but all the time before (the pushing back of the operation, how the guys didn't seem to support him) and after. lol It screams drama and angst just only thinking about it! lol
I think I've read all of those back in the day but most of them where from the "random girlfriend" pov so the main focus wasn't on Brian and what he was going through but how this girl managed to save his true love. *insert sarcasm here* That's why I stand very far from the het. Not that I have something against them if they are well written, I'm the first one to love them but... I don't know, what I love most of reading (and writing) in a fanfiction are the guys, so I'm kinda annoyed when I read a story where the focus is on the female character and the guys seemed to be only the background when it should be the complete opposite.
As a Brian writer, I find him as a challenge to write, especially in the dynamics of his relationship with Nick. Just the fact that he's the type of guy that doesn't go around and tell everyone his troubles or problems, the fact that behind a smile there is always hidden somewhere sadness and tears... I think and believe there is a lot behind Brian that it's really sad that no one nowdays seems to try to dig in.
Or maybe it's sad for me because I can't write all the stories I want to read. lol
