Fanfic/writing/fandom etc... Question(s) of the day
kevmylove:
:'( I just answered about five questions and since my dumbass wanted to make my font orange I deleted it all....I'll try again later. ???
Carter-Orange:
Unwinding Truth came from the lyrics of a Muse song. Lore chose that one and it fits the story well :)

Thought I'd throw out a question...
If you could pick a story of your own and a story of another fanfic author to be published which would you choose?
Sakabelle:
I usually just use song titles or lyrics from a song that inspired the story. I'm like Julie - I can't start writing the story until I have a title. For some reason I just find it very difficult. In that case I'll usually just listen to music and try to find something that fits.

I would love to rewrite Broken as an original story that could be published. I still love the basic storyline and think it would work as an original; it would just need to be totally de-Backstreet-ized and trimmed down, and I know I could do a better job of writing it than I did the first time around. That said, I've had that goal for about 5 years now and still haven't made much progress on it LOL. I'm finding that it's a lot harder than it sounds to completely reimagine and rewrite a story.
Hannah had mentioned wanting to write Something Beautiful as an original, and I think that one would turn out really well. A similar story that would make a really good novel is The Market by Susan. Interestingly enough, in thinking of all my favorite fanfics, there aren't that many that I could see being translated well into original fiction because so many of the ones I read are very BSB-centered. I don't think they'd have the same magic without "the Backstreet Boys." Like I said in another thread, I think AUs work best, but I don't read many AUs.
