Some fanfic writing questions to ponder

<< < (3/6) > >>

mare:
When  Kevin left the group, did you stop writing about him in your fanfics and if he does come back will you regularly include him again?

Even after Kevin left the group, I continued to write him into my stories regularly, in fact I don't think I've ever left him out of a long novel of mine. Maybe I have left him out of a short story or two but I could never bring myself to leave him out of a long story. At the risk of sounding like a corn nut, he'll always be a Backstreet Boy to me!

If you weren't a fan back in the Kevin days, how do you feel about a return? Will you write him into your fics and how hard will it be to incorporate him into your stories?

Always been a fan.

Do you find yourself writing the New Kids into your stories because they are collaborating together?

Nope. I tend to pretend it's not happening, kind of like I am pretending the impending apocalypse in December is not happening.

How much do you let what the boys are doing in real life, influence what you write?

I try to keep things as realistic as possible. I don't enjoy writing the boys out of what I conceive to be their normal characters. For instance, I'd probably find it hard to write the kind of Nick I did in Why I'd do it all Again if I were writing it now because he's not as much of a hot mess as he was back then. lol Stupid getting your act together Nick! How dare he!!! ;)

Do you tend to write them as one particular age or do you usually write them at the age they are while you're writing your story?

I admit I tend to like the back in the days story because their relationship to each other was so easily defined and that's what I was all about as a fanfic writer. Honestly, these days I don't get what they are to each other anymore so it's hard to channel. Back then it was much easier so I usually write before Kevin left stories.

If the boys were to suddenly break up, would you still write fanfics about them?

Since I've stopped writing fanfics, I guess I'd have to go the 'no' route on this one lol

What are your favorite types of stories to read concerning the boys and their relationships to each other?

I love reading action and drama based stories dealing with all five boys. Their interactions with one another and the whole brotherly bonding, love and looking out for one another always draws me in. I don't care about their relationships to other people whether it be a female or their kids, friends etc... it's the boys that drew me into this fandom not all the misc people in their lives. lol
 
Thank you for the Why and A Million Little Things mentions Steph! :)

Do you tend to write them close to how you perceive them to be in real life or does it not matter to you?

I tried to. Sometimes I think I did them justice, and others not so much lol but like so many of you have said, it's hard to really tell what they are like when no one is around and the cameras are off.

Do you write about your favorite boy mostly or do you just go with who you think people want to read about?

I always write all five of them but since brotherly bonding and being protective of one another is such an important plot point for me, I tend to write Nick as my lead even though Kevin has always been my favorite. Nick is such a close second it's pretty easy to do. I don't really think about what people want to read, if I did I'd be writing romance.  LOL

Is there a boy you aren't a particular fan of and how hard or easy is it to write about that person objectively? Do you tend to always make them the bad guy? Would your answer surprise us?

Not sure if it's surprising but I'm not really a Brian fan at all. Not that I hate him or anything, I love him to death but he gets on my last nerve often. I try not to transfer that into my writing and I think for the most part I don't. AJ is another one. I just find him odd but I tend to be able to write him because I too am odd lmao

Can I just once again say "Poor Howie!" lmao I agree with you Julie, I LOVED writing Howie as a villain in five BSB in search of a plot! I think that was my favorite writing of Howie ever!

I had to edit this post because I got both of the names of my stories wrong! lmao Jeez! You'd think I would remember the names of things I wrote. So, don't feel bad when I constantly massacre the names of your stories and characters, I seriously have the memory of a goldfish, it's almost scary!!

LOL at this.  I can see how Nick might not be as interesting to write about nowadays as a few years ago.  Thinking about it, I realized I missed out on the opportunity to write hot mess Nick because I was writing Broken/BMS through that whole era.  I started Broken during Now or Never era, when Nick wasn't such a hot mess yet (but heading that way), and by the time I finished BMS in 2008, he was about ready to get his act together.  I guess I just messed him up in other ways LOL.

mare:
Yes, sadly it was very easy to picture him falling out a window because of PH and his anger. I can't see him doing that now. LOL Although... who knows, right?

You were too busy removing his appendages!

RokofAges75:
LOL Yeah, you never know with Nick, but he seems to be in a much better place now... and with all his appendages, so that's good!

mare:
Always a plus lol
