Some fanfic writing questions to ponder
mare:
Kevin just has that 'look' It's easy to make him mean I think lol
FrickingKaos:
You're totally right Mare. He just looks grumpy lol. He can't help it. That's why I enjoy making him a bastard lol
Alexsgirl_ritz:
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?
Kevin was no longer part of the group when I started writing fanfics so he was not part of the first fanfic that I've finished. But he was a guest at AJ's wedding at the end. :) For the other side of NC, it was during the Never Gone tour so he has to be there but I kept forgetting he has to be there. LOL But I love Kevin. He will 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?
Not everyone was sad when he left so not everyone would be happy with his return. I'm one of those people who would be happy if he comes back and wouldn't be sad if he doesnt. But because I want Mare to write fan fics again, and I want Lore and Erica to be happy, I am hoping for Kevin's return. I will definitely include him in my stories.
Do you find yourself writing the New Kids into your stories because they are collaborating together?
I don't like them and I don't know them so it would be hard to write about them.
How much do you let what the boys are doing in real life, influence what you write?
I want it to be as realistic as possible but I know that wont happen. :)
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?
Depends on when the story take place
If the boys were to suddenly break up, would you still write fanfics about them?
I dont want to think about this.... *sniff*
What are your favorite types of stories to read concerning the boys and their relationships to each other?
I love reading about their closeness and how they are always there for each other. Mare's stories are great example of their brotherly love. :)
Do you tend to write them close to how you perceive them to be in real life or does it not matter to you?
Depends on the story.... but I want to be as close to reality as possible.
Do you write about your favorite boy mostly or do you just go with who you think people want to read about?
My favorite Backstreet Boy is AJ but Nick is the easiest to write. Because he could be anything you wanted him to be. He could be grumpy, romantic, dumb, funny... you name it. 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?
As I've said Nick is the easiest to write.... Brian will always be the loving husband, it is hard to write him otherwise. AJ is sometimes hard to write because as Mare said he is odd. It is like if he would be cast in a movie he could only pass for limited roles. Howie... Poor Howie... for some reason he is just hard to write.
simple sue:
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?
Yes and I'm not sure. I have some stories that he is actually the main focus though.
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?
I've never been a big Kevin fan I'll admit but I've never been one to back down from the challenge of writing him either. If it felt right to me, I did it. As for the second half of the question, I still do write about him so I don't see it as being a problem.
Do you find yourself writing the New Kids into your stories because they are collaborating together?
I find myself writing about the New Kids because I like them not because of the collaboration. That's just a bonus for me :)
How much do you let what the boys are doing in real life, influence what you write?
Depends really what's going on in my life how much attention I pay to the reality of theirs.
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?
Depends on the type of story I'm working on. I try to keep them where they are age wise unless it requires a flashback.
If the boys were to suddenly break up, would you still write fanfics about them?
Not sure but I'll cross that bridge if it ever comes to it.
What are your favorite types of stories to read concerning the boys and their relationships to each other?
The ones that test them; put them at odds.
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 like to take personality traits and push the limits.
Do you write about your favorite boy mostly or do you just go with who you think people want to read about?
I write about them all but Brian moreso than the rest.
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?
I don't dislike Nick but I have a tendency to make him less than likeable a lot of times. Please note that I do love all of them for different reasons but Brian is my favorite.
I don't think it surprises anybody that knows me. As for everybody else.........

I did and I didn't. It depended on the type of story I was writing and whether or not he fit in with it. I put him in when I can because I miss him singing with the group.
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?
I'd love him to return. I honestly love what he brings to the harmonies and I always put him in the fic if he fits.
Do you find yourself writing the New Kids into your stories because they are collaborating together?
It started out that way, yes. But I've always been a fan. I know some aren't, so I'm not here to try to sway the non-fans. You like who you like and it's cool. But the collab gives us 5 new men to write about...and we can make them whatever we want. I think it's awesome!
How much do you let what the boys are doing in real life, influence what you write?
I guess in a way I do. I write about the NKOTBSB tour and such. But I don't make what they are really doing the main part of the story. It's kind of like the backdrop for what my story is REALLY all about.
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?
Again, this depends on the type of story it is. I like them at the ages they are now.
If the boys were to suddenly break up, would you still write fanfics about them?
In a heartbeat. I love being creative.
What are your favorite types of stories to read concerning the boys and their relationships to each other?
I like romance, suspense, some AU, some science fiction. I don't really look for genres. What gets my attention is titles. What hooks me are the stories themselves.
Do you tend to write them close to how you perceive them to be in real life or does it not matter to you?
Doesn't really matter. Most stories pitch Nick as being not to smart because he stumbled in earlier interviews. I get the feeling Mr. Carter would surprise us all.
Do you write about your favorite boy mostly or do you just go with who you think people want to read about?
I write about whoever my story line fits. It seems like Nick is the most popular to read on the site. I wonder often why that is. There are great stories about all the guys out there, but Nick seems to be the main one.
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?
Umm, have to be Howie I guess. And before Howie's fans run me over, I LOVE him....just can't see him as my leading love interest. It was kind of fun writing him as the bad guy in Beneath the Surface, which was my first real foray into him as a lead. I'd like to try him as a GOOD leading man. Just have to find the right storyline for him. I don't know, you tell me, does my answer surprise you?
