Fanfic/writing/fandom etc... Question(s) of the day
RokofAges75:
I thought of that question after talking about Swollen Issues, because that series was very influential for me. It came right around the same time as Now or Never, which was the start of my "Nick phase," when I started reading and writing more Nick-centered stories, beginning with Broken. I had done a couple of Nick stories before that, but I mostly wrote about Brian or the group. Broken was totally inspired by Swollen, and I spent 5 years writing Broken and BMS, so it definitely influenced my writing "career"!
FrickingKaos:
I don't think that was the story. I'm gonna read it anyway though, sounds interesting. Thanks for trying, Julie!
I have never read a full on visual. I'm hesitant to read those kind of stories with graphic sex scenes in them, but there is a first time for everything.
Purpura Lipstick:
The first fanfic I read wasn't a BSB fanfic it was a video game fanfic, probably a Final Fantasy fic.
The most influential was probably my friend Amanda's fanfic regarding Legend of Dragoon, another video game. Just her style and way with words made/make me strive to write better. I love that she is helping me edit my own stories for attempts at publishing.
That probably says a lot about me that my first and most influential are not BSB stories. I couldn't tell you the first BSB fanfic I read. I had an award portion of my site, a fanfic challenge portion of my site and eventually a review site, they all blur together. I didn't have the experience of printing off my first BSB fanfic and putting it in a binder, but it sounds like something I might have done if I was younger. I DO remember taking my first fanfic around school with me and writing between classes and passing off to Amanda in the halls for her turn.

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.

For me it was definitely Ground Zero. He made me realize I could write the idea I had playing in my head. Stories like 7 Days and On the Run also helped. Awesomely written action/suspense fics.
