Fanfic/writing/fandom etc... Question(s) of the day
Sakabelle:
Julie, I definitely think a rewrite of Broken would be great publishing material! I loved that story so much.
Mare, I haven't actually read Shadow Woods but your writing as a whole is wonderful so I really think you should keep trying to get that one published.
I don't think any of my stories would work if I changed them to OF and tried to get them published. My romance ones are very centered around the fact that Nick's a Backstreet Boy, to the point where it's completely integral to the plot. It couldn't be taken out, or he'd at least have to be in a band. But it'd be easy to figure out at that point so..not really worth it.
Running Up That Hill would not work at all as OF LOL. I can't even imagine changing that around. Everyone would know that it's a story about the Backstreet Boys - it's not exactly a secret that their tour got postponed! Haha.
Actually, I did have an AU up on the site a long time ago about the guys as high school students and I did rewrite the bulk of it during NaNoWriMo one year with the intent of getting it published. Then I hit 50,000 words, closed the document and never opened it again. So it's sitting at 2/3 finished. One day! Maybe NaNo this year I'll finish it.

Good luck with it Mare, I've not read it yet, is it still on here?
Thanks for the Rewind mention too :)
The story of mine I'd pick if I had to would be a cross between Maybe Tomorrow and a Take That short story called Resistance. Because they are both AU and set in World War 2, I could blend them together well and make them OF.
As for someone else's story...hmm... tough one! There are so many I love, Broken, Sinister Devotion, Curtain Call, It Stays With You, Song For The Undead, Ground Zero, Remember Me This Way, Chronos Project, Why I'd Do It All Again, Ray of Hope...
mare:
It is still on the site, Steph and thanks for the mentions.
Carter-Orange:
I'll have to read that one then :)
Purpura Lipstick:
Titles are NOT my friends. Sometimes I come up with a title I think is great and I hold on to it until I think I have a storyline that the title will work with. Other times my muse wants to write a plot but I have NO title so I look everywhere for something, I talk people's ears off about it, I keep writing it hoping something will come to me. I've used song titles, lyrics in song, random images that come to mind, Greek gods (yeah that's my new one Chronos Project, Apollo's Curse, Aphrodite's Laughter...)
I solve the -I need a title in order to write it- by calling it "pet name". Rewriting Wulf's Bane I call the OF Wulf's Bane but I am pretty sure I will not be using it for the title. Another story I was working on with a friend we called by the name of one of the cities in the stoy since we never had a title.
As for stories to publish...
I'd LOVE to get Wulf's Bane converted to OF and published but I am currently working on editing Chronos Project to self publish.
I'd love to see Maybe Tomorrow or perhaps Rewind as an OF. Sinister Devotion I'd buy if it were published... I can't remember the title of Julilly's I read last year, the one with the guys kidnapping the girl.... that one would be good as an OF.
