I think there is an opportunity to use original characters though. You can have the main character/main focus of the story be one of the boys but have the narrator be someone else. That would still qualify it as bsb fanfic, I would think. If the narrator is still talking about the main character, even if they are an original character the focus is still on the boys. I don't think it needs to always be them doing the "talking".

I am pretty much the same as Julie when it comes to original characters. I give them and whichever one of the guys I'm using equal face time in the story to balance things out, especially in my AU series I'm doing. It is BSB fanfic like you guys said, so I try not to focus on the original character too much.

Yes, I agree. If the other character is there to support or even if it's told through their eyes as well as the boys, that's different. I have loosened my opinion on that over the years. But if the main character is not one of the guys and they are only a supporting role, to me it's not a BSB fanfic.
Carter-Orange:
I usually have the boys as the main focus in my stories, but I've also written ones with an original character (random chick and even guilty of using my own name in the past too, lol). I will read either if I like the story :)

Here's today's question:
If you could pick one of your stories to be turned into a movie, which one would you pick & why?
