Fic Talk > General Discussion

The most popular type of story

<< < (4/10) > >>

Rose:
Depends on what you write. The reason why I like fanfic is because it's about the Boys, so on some level they need to be the Boys we know and love in a sense. At least for my own preferences. Like with Brian, unless it's AU, I always feel the need to include Leighanne and Baylee somewhere. That, or kill them off. I have a Brian story, and I ended up killing off Leighanne so I wouldn't have to worry about her. It's just my preference that if it's not AU it needs to be close to reality on some level. That means in personality too. It's why Howie's so hard for me to write, he's got this cheesy and corny sense of humor, but it's hard to get into words. Kevin's the "big bro", Brian is this open book, but it's restricted because of his family and beliefs. AJ's always been different lol, and even though he's married now, the way he's always been the "rebel", his psychological/addiction issues give a lot of flexibility as an author.

And even in AU, I try to stick close to the personality, because otherwise, what's the point? It may as well be Original Fiction. I usually have an original character somewhere in my stories, and I use them to keep me content. That, or I work on a different facet on Nick's personality he's shown. I've written in almost every genre at one point or another, so to me, there's never been a point where I've exhausted all my possible storylines.

Not that I've written much lately, but that's not the point lol. 

As for NKOTB, I've never been even remotely interested in mentioning them in one of my stories. I liked the NKOTBSB show I went to if only for the songs the Boys performed (Seeing 10,000 Promises live was a pure win) but I still wish this supergroup crap would end lol. So in my fics the team tour never happened :P.

VeeLynn:
I turned AJ into an elf but he was still AJ because he acted like AJ. Aww, good times.

Sakabelle:
What I mean about not seeing them as one entity is that even though I have stories that take place on the NKOTBSB tour, I don't feel the need to add Joey, Donnie etc as characters. I just focus on the BSB and NKOTB don't even appear. The assumption is that they're there, because it takes place during the tour, but they're just background characters who never show up for me.

Come to think of it, I wasn't nearly as inspired to write after NKOTBSB (though don't get me wrong, those shows were awesome) as I was after seeing Nick solo in Montreal. After seeing Nick I churned out six chapters of a new story in three days! So for me, I guess it's really Nick who is my muse. Even though I have written in other fandoms, I can't say that I have ever really written as much in any of those as I have about Nick.

I dunno, I just really like Nick! haha.

Alexsgirl_ritz:
You girls have said it all. Nick is the easiest to write....  :)

simple sue:
All valid arguments and opinions  but  I guess I just like to challenge myself with different facets of each of the boys' character. :)
