Fanfic/writing/fandom etc... Question(s) of the day
FrickingKaos:
Oh yes I remember reading part of the Nick and Lizz series too. I also remember reading this story about Nick that started when bsb first formed...I can't remember the name of it but it was not on AC. I know there was a scene where Nick and Brian played with lightsabers. I wish I knew what it was called.

I don't know about the light sabers, but was it Come Together? http://www.dreamers-sanctuary.com/dwlyn/cometogether.html

I didn't discover those until I'd been reading fanfic for a few months at least, but I found a whole site of them and didn't realize what the term "visual" meant until I read one. I did most of my fanfic reading in my mom's classroom at her school, while she worked over the summer, because the internet connection was faster and wouldn't tie up the phone line at home (back in the days of dial-up!), so I was sitting on a school computer in the same room as my mother when this happened. I can only imagine how wide my 14-year-old eyes got and how red my face must have been! But I read like three of them on that site before I clicked off it. :P I guess that was before the days of internet filters to block inappropriate websites - if the school's network had one, it didn't work! LOL

Man, visuals! That must have been so awkward, Julie, reading those in your mom's classroom! I had read a few fics that had sex scenes in them, but when my friend and I discovered that there were stories that were just the sex part we read through so many of them. And then (this is so awkward) since she liked AJ, and I liked Nick we decided that we would write each other a visual and do a swap. I can't believe we did that! We even wrote them in class on looseleaf and passed them to each other in the hall to read in our next classes.

Hmmm, good question! That 'I Need You Tonight' story I read when I was 15 (and was absolutely obsessed with) was something that made me really want to try my best and write something awesome. I guess that's the point when I decided I was really going to try and craft a good story instead of just write out my fantasies.
I think as far as more recently though, it was definitely Why I'd Do It All Again by Mare. Which I think I've mentioned here before. It made me want to branch out and write something that was centered around the guys and their relationships with each other, rather than Nick and his girl drama.

LOL That is awkward, but I remember lots of authors who would write visuals for their friends or even offer up their services to write visuals for readers who requested them.
Luckily, my mom was on the other side of the room and was completely oblivious to what I was reading LOL.
