Fanfic/writing/fandom etc... Question(s) of the day
Pengi:
There's nothing like a good challenge though... :D
I'm seriously tempted to think about this. I dunno. I'll stick to the one story for now, but I may revisit this series idea in the future.
Rose:
You know, I've been tempted to write about the early days, knowing all that we know now. The allegations, the NSYNC bs, everything. It's on my list of ideas to do, but with the way my life's been, lord knows if I'll ever find the time LOL.

Along the same lines maybe, do your stories usually take place in the past (earlier in the Boys' career), the present, or the future?

I write a bit of both. I add real events in with fictional events and also ones which are completely AU.
I'd say my stories usually take place from Never Gone onwards, I've written one which took them into the future too.

I really like to incorporate as many real life events as possible. I don't really like making fake tours or albums etc... It's easier for me to make it more believable if I make it true to life. What else happens around those real events however are usually made up. lol
Because of my above answer, I tend to write in the past because that's when I had the best handle on them and their personalities. Since my stories are so focused on the relationship they have with each other, writing present day with all the families, wives etc... It gets harder to figure out a way to have them not be in it and I'm all about that lol
I have written in all areas though.

Some of the stories would overlap, obviously, but for the most part each "era" could probably be melted down to being mostly about one Boy in particular, which is who the narrative would be in the POV of... I think it would be a really interesting project. It would have to be REALLY well researched, though.

That's kind of what I did for Why I'd Do it all Again and it took a lot of research and a long time to write. It's also the longest fanfic I ever wrote because of all the stuff I had to include lol
