Fanfic/writing/fandom etc... Question(s) of the day
Carter-Orange:
Julie - I associate with plenty of drama, some romance and a bit of torture thrown in, lol. The story which springs to mind first is Song For The Undead as that's the first one I read of Julie's and it made me want to read more of hers.
Mare - I think drama/suspense and What Lurks Around The Corner is the story which I think of first. It's not the first story of Mare's I've read, but the one which sticks in my mind the most. Loads of twists along the way and kept me guessing.
Lore - I associate with sci fi/romance/AU but I also think she'll have a go at anything. Chronos Project springs to mind as I love the idea of time travel with a bit of drama/romance thrown in.
Tracy - I think will have a go at anything too, but sci fi/romance comes to mind first. Figured You Out is suspense though and I really enjoyed it and that's the one I think of when I see Tracy's name.
Steph - I think of romance/drama especially involving Nick :) The story I think of when I see Steph's name is In Pieces.

Okay since i'm on my desk top I am catching up on some of my questions. lol
My story ideas come from dreams usually or me laying in bed not being able to sleep and suddenly an idea will flash in my head. I rarely get inspiration from movies or TV.
How do you feel about stories with more than one sequel? Do you tend to write them? What makes you continue to write on one story?
I'm not a fan of sequels usually. I have pretty much regretted writing every sequel I have ever written except Seasons of Change (The sequel to Mel's Tree) I think the biblical trilogy came about because of peer pressure and me finding my writing stride. Everyone kept begging for a sequel and I was afraid if I didn't deliver people would stop reading. Little does one realize most times people stop reading anyway lol The other one I wrote, Scars (there sequel to Protect and Serve) I felt like I had more story to tell but halfway through I just got bored with it and found it almost painful to finish it up.
Do you read any other fanfic fandoms besides the Backstreet Boys? What about when it comes to writing?
I have tried to read other fandoms, I just can't get into them. I don't see myself writing in any other fandom either.
If you could steal one persons fanfic and claim it as your own, which one would it be and why?
Probably Ground Zero by Chaos! It's an awesome story and I wish I had written it first!
I am very happy about Kevin's return. Still not sure how if at all it will impact my writing. LOL
Most overused fanfic plot? I think it depends on the trends, right now it's probably romance based but I remember when it was suspense based, The bus crash, the kidnapped boy etc... I don't really read them anymore so not sure.
How do you think you are perceived as a writer? do you think people pigeon hole you into one style or genre?
I think I'm mainly seen as a suspense girl and I'm okay with that although most of my stuff actually is not suspense but more dramedy. Honestly, I don't think I'm even perceived as a writer anymore, just by people who read me back in the day.
As far as you guys go!
When I think Steph or Tracy, my mind goes to flexibility. They don't seem to be afraid to try new things and constantly branch out. I envy them for that!
When I think Lore, I automatically think fantasy because I know how passionate she is about that genre.
Julie makes me think drama! lol
Saka Steph I think Running Up That Hill because it's awesome.
I hope I didn't leave anyone out. If I did sorry!

Tonight's question:
What is the one story you have written you wish no one had ever read and why?

OMG I think you just gave me the Curtain Call sequel idea!

LOL There are so many, but one of them would be a story called "End of the Road," which was one of my early fanfics. It was a bus crash story, very much inspired by (ripped off of) Whitney's "Where Can We Go From Here?" right down to the scene where the guys sing Nick out of his coma - no, really. It was - and still is - a terrible, embarrassing story. Its only redeeming quality is that I had Brian get thrown from the bus and impaled on a fence post, which was a pretty gruesome bit of torture for me back then. Other than that... no. Just, no.
