Question of the day thread number 2!
Carter-Orange:
I don't mind how accurate the facts are in a story, as long as I'm enjoying the story and it's presented well, I'm happy :)

"A good writer will research to find the answer, but a great writer knows how to bullshit their way out of having the question asked."
LMAO I found that hilarious. I don't know how much stock we should put in it as writers but I thought it was funny anyways.
I think all my school essays were pretty solidly rooted in that quote's philosophy.

Yes! I love that. :-D

Research?!? EW! That's one of the reasons that I write AU, because I can not spend time researching the guys and their lives...no way! Funny though because I did do research on guns, ways to die, hitmen for Sinister Devotion. I also did research on weddings and what goes on when planning one for Just One Kiss and lastly...I definintely did UFC, MMA fighting, times, weights, events, fighters research for Fight Me. Ok wow...I guess I do research.
I don't really pay attention to inaccuracies.. .I don't think I would even know if there is one. lol. I've been called out before, but usually becasue I'm writing AU and I'll say something backstreet boyish...like mention fans. LOL!!!
I have a question...Whi ch one of your own stories is your favorite? Why?
Purpura Lipstick:
I know what story everyone thinks I am going to say. LOL.
Amnesia is still one of my all time favorites that I've written. I haven't read it in a while but I just loved what I did with it and it was a blast to write. Being one of the first fanfics I've ever written I am sure I have quite a bit wrong and leave a lot to be desired, but I still <3 it.
The rest of my stories all go through their time at the top of my favorite list as I'm writing or just after I wrote but Amnesia has stayed at the top.
Don't go read it and ruin my buzz by telling me it's horrible now. LOL.

LOL They don't call it a B.S. degree for nothing!
Pretty sure I put way more effort into my fanfics than I ever put into papers for school LOL.
