The most popular type of story

My question is why does Nick seems to be the most popular member of the BSB to write whether it be AU or flat out fanfiction?  I have nothing against him, I'm just curious as to why he's so much more fascinating than any other member of the group to work with? I know these are real people we are talking about but  fiction is fiction and we all know this. What makes you choose him over say Brian, Howie or AJ?

VeeLynn:
Cause Nick fans are the most delusional ones?

Hahahaah I'm just kidding. I'm guessing it's just the population.  He is the popular one always was so the percentage of writers who are Nick fans are higher than those who are fans and write about the other guys.

Rose:
Actually I don't think that's it so much. Nick has layers, he had a lot of issues over the years. You could argue for the longest time Brian's second in popularity to Nick, yet there's usually more AJ stories than Brian ones. Nick's very easy to write as there's many facets to his life and personality. Plenty of stuff to work with. These days Brian's set (unless you go AU), with his wife, son, and beliefs. Great things, but just harder to write out. AJ, with all his issues, you can go deep and play around with it.

Brian is tied with Nick as my fave Backstreet Boys, yet I write more Nick centered stories simply because Nick is easier to write.

carterkid:
I agree with Rose, Nick is very easy to write and I find Nick to be very childish.

I think everyone has a good point.  Nick has always been the most popular, so it makes sense that Nick stories are most popular among fanfic writers and readers.

I think Nick is also easier or at least more interesting to write than some of the Boys for the reasons Rose mentioned - there are so many different sides to him that we've seen over the years, and he has changed so much as a person.

He is also less settled than the other Boys; he and Lauren may be as good as married, but technically they're not, and so that makes it easier to "get rid of her" to write Nick romance.  He's not close to his family, so it's easy to ignore them in a story too.  He can be wild and free if you want him to be, without going AU or completely ignoring reality.

Nick's not my favorite, but I've come to enjoy reading and writing about him as a main character.  That said, I do wish there were more Brian stories being written that appealed to me; I used to read and write more Brian stories than anything else!
