The most popular type of story

Okay, I see that you've brought out some very vaild reasons for writing Nick but as you all may know, in the past year, I stepped out of my comfort zone from the boys and started writng the New Kids On The Block. Not that I dislike Nick but at that point I felt as though all the storylines I could come up with for him had been exhausted. I agree he has a lot of different layers but I think my argument is that if you really dig deep you can take any one of these wonderful qualities Brian and Howie have and twist it around and I love them both as they are but as in my opening inquiry, I stated that it is just fiction. I know Brian and Howie are the deviants I write them to be sometimes. ;D

I sort of felt that way too about Nick, that I'd exhausted all my storylines about him. That's part of the reason I started writing a group story.
Of course now that I've done this, I've got three other Nick stories in my arsenal lol
I guess it just all depends on what you like. I enjoy New Kids music enough, but I'm not really into them as a group or as people, you know? My interest in them goes as far as following each of them on twitter, and that's about it. I'm not inspired by them or interested in digging into their personalities at all. Just because they've formed this NKOTBSB super group doesn't really mean they're part of BSB, because to me they're really not. The groups are still very much separate in my mind.

That's how I started to feel about Brian, that I'd exhausted all my story ideas for him because I wrote a ton of Brian stories when I first started writing fanfic. Now that I've discovered the power of AU, I have fresh new Brian ideas. I still tend to stick with Nick or AJ (or the whole group) for BSB-centered stories nowadays, though. Lately I've been on an AJ kick, as far as writing and ideas go. It goes in phases for me.

I don't see them as one big group. I enjoyed the tour but I also became fascinated with them. That's just me though. They are still two very separate groups and that's what inspires me.

I have to say, I'm a fan of both groups, and never considered them one entity. it's two entirely different sounds to me and I happen to like both. Ask me which I prefer, I'll say BSB only because they brought me some of the best friends I've ever had the privilege of knowing. They opened my world to a lot, including fan fiction. But I've also seen the ugliness on twitter....fro m fans of both groups. The ones who fight and argue about which is better and the childish antics are almost too much at times. Sure, we can have fun, and I admit, I do have my share of fun, but sometimes it goes too far and I feel uncomfortable. Last year when the fans were fighting AT the concerts, I felt bad for both groups. You know they don't want their fans acting that way. Even though there are those here at AC who loathe NKOTB, I've never felt like I was being slammed for writing about them. And I appreciate that. I'm not trying to make anyone fans of NKOTB. You either like them or not. But having an outlet for creativity is a great thing and having a community where these things can be discussed without argument is wonderful. And even if you write a story where all the NKOTB get killed off, isn't it kind of nice to have new characters to evolve? I've written more in the past year than ever before because so many ideas came to me after seeing them in July. I look forward to sharing them.
