Fanfic/writing/fandom etc... Question(s) of the day

--- Quote from: Sakabelle on June 13, 2012, 10:35:18 PM ---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.

Thanks Steph, glad I helped you decide to branch out because Running Up that Hill is awesome :)

I typed up a really long answer earlier, went to post it and I'd been logged out :(
Anyway, the first fanfic I ever read was a Take That one, I can't remember the name of it right now, but it was about a woman in her 30s who was in an unhappy marriage. She meets Gary Barlow in a random place (think it was a hotel) and they begin an affair. There were lots of dramatic events along the way, but they end up together in the end. It was an amazing story and so well written. I found myself checking for updates all the time as I was hooked!
So in reply to the other question about which story has been influential, I'd probably have to say that one. If I'd never come across that story or site, I'd never have discovered fanfic.
I think the first BSB story I read was possibly Ray of Hope or one which was very Jericho like and was never finished on here.
Mare, yes I think people still do that with the visuals, LOL. I did one as a challenge on another site about 3 years ago. I find it quite awkward writing that kind of thing, so it was quite a challenge :)
FrickingKaos:
The most influential? I wanna say Mare really got me thinking of writing suspense. For about two years I was writing romantic comedy, and when I began writing FYO was the turning point. I started writing all kinds of genres, and now I am down to write everything. I also get inspired by Rose and Julie a lot because I love their work as well. Song For The Undead is one of my favorites. So it really isn't one story that inspired me, but several of them.

Thanks, Tracy! :)

Tonight's question:
Our newest member Cinzia gave me the idea for this one. Is there a storyline that you want to see covered that no one has really touched on?
