I'd like to see some set during Millennium, I really like that time period. I also wouldn't mind seeing more action/adventure type ones.

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?

This is going back 13 years, but going off what came up in the Brian thread about a lack of modern stories about Brian's heart surgery, I always wanted to read about his illness when he was five. I always thought - and still think - that is such an incredible story; it's one of the first things I read about Brian (in Teen People, summer '98) when I was first becoming a BSB fan, and it's always interested me.
When I first started reading fanfic, I read a lot of tearjerker stories about Brian, but none that addressed that, until I came across this short story called "The Dream" (or something like that) that did, only it all turned out to be a dream that Brian's childhood friend was remembering as an adult, when she was married to Brian. That is actually the story that prompted me to try writing my own fanfic, because I wanted to see that short story expanded on. That first attempt eventually became my story "Years of Grace" (which isn't on AC, but it's on my site). I wrote a couple different short stories just about that experience when Brian was 5, but those are the only ones I really know of that exist.
Nowadays, I don't know... I do enjoy reading stories about those dramatic parts of BSB history, but most of them have been written about by at least someone. Steph's doing an awesome job fictionalizing the summer AJ went to rehab with Running Up That Hill, for example. I guess a more recent time in BSB history that I haven't seen someone write a story directly about is Nick's struggle with drugs and alcohol, the cardiomyopathy diagnosis, and his weight loss and total transformation these last few years. I know some stories have addressed it, and Rose's story Divine Intervention, for example, uses it as the basis for more of a supernatural/fantasy storyline, but I haven't read just a straightforwar d account of it. I'd be surprised if no one had written a story just about that, though, so there probably is one that I just haven't read!

The one I'm writing right now (and not posting lol) is set during Millennium and is action adventure-y! Haha. It's that one I mentioned in the other thread where Nick has to save the world from angels. So maybe eventually you'll get to read it!
And thank you for the compliment on Running Up That Hill, Julie :) I should probably update that one day. I'm super stuck with it again even though I've outlined.
I'd have to agree with Julie in that I'd really love to read a modern story about Brian's heart surgery. I'd like the read about that in a very true to life kind of way. I think knowing what we do now vs. the little tidbits they told us then, it could be really interesting.
I'd also definitely like to read a story about Nick's struggles with addiction. There was one that was getting posted on here, but she stopped updating. Too bad, because I felt like it was going to be really good!

I was looking up websites on yahoo when I came across. "All I Wanted Was Some Cough Medicine" Iby Mare. I,n my head I thought, wow this is a really long title. I clicked on it and I was hooked. I read it in two sittings and I was so mad at the perverted girl that kept creeping out poor young Nick. lol.
