Question of the Day Part 5
mare:
The only other fandom I have written in was Supernatural. I've always wanted to do a Numb3rs crossover with BSB but never did.

Okay, I'm gonna try to catch up....

"Love This Pain," although it's offline now because I self-published it, so I guess one that is online... The "Fearless" series. I think Lisa and I took a generic idea and did more with it. It's not the typical girls follow a tour story. It's not just people screwing one another's brains out (I admit, "IWBB" was that). I think, even though Nick romance is probably the most popular genre, that a lot of people look down on Nick romance because they think it's all the same. For the most part, maybe they are. I know my first couple of stories were very cheesy, Mary-Sueish, etc. I feel like there's more NKOTB fans that are reading the story than BSB fans, so I wish more BSB fans would give it a shot.
--- Quote ---What do you consider your comfort food for fanfic? Like if you had to choose only ONE genre to read or write ONLY ONE!! No cheating!! What is your go to and why?
--- End quote ---
Romance, I love romance. There's just some things I can't read, but romance I can because I guess it's relatable.

- Huge blocks of text.
- Horrible banners that either a.) look like a 5 year old got a hold of paint and b.) includes an obvious self-protrait in it.
- It tells the entire plot in the summary.
- Howie or Kevin are the main characters.
- Nick isn't involved.
- Horror or adventure, not really into those genres.
--- Quote ---2. Name a time when you took a chance on a story that you thought wouldn't appeal to you and ended up loving it.

Borrowed Time by Hannah.... it's Brian centered, but I love it. I've just got to finish reading it and catch up!
--- Quote ---Other fandom?

NKOTB obviously, especially Donnie and Joey.
I've written several NASCAR stories with drivers involved. After MC, I had a NASCAR fan fiction website, that's like AC here, that when I got out of it, friends took it over and it's still up and the biggest NASCAR fan fiction website there is. I tried to get into writing "Friends" fan fiction after the show ended, but just couldn't do it.
I've written other artist in my stories, such as the members of Rascal Flatts, TIm McGraw, Faith Hill and even Ashton Kutcher.

Here's another question on the same lines as the other fandom thing, for the people who have tried to write real life fics versus others which did you find more difficult because for it's much easier to write about BSB than it was for Supernatural. Maybe because I feel like those characters are just that, characters who someone else totally created from scratch to begin with. I have no idea why that is so difficult for me as opposed to messing with real people and their lives lol
Sakabelle:
I actually find that doing real person fic is a lot harder. Which is probably weird for me to say since now, 99% of what I write is real person. But when I was writing a lot of Avatar fic, I found that getting into the heads of the characters and portraying them as believeable was a lot easier because through watching the show, the characters are explained through all angles. Because they're fictional characters, the storyline basically tells us everything we need to know about them, and it helps that Avatar is such a character heavy and emotionally heavy show. So I found it really easy to figure out what a character would do in a particular situation.
With real person fic I find you have to watch interviews and stuff and build their personality around the little bits that are given to you. Obviously a lot of us have been in BSB fandom for a long time, so it's easy to know what the guys are like, but I still feel like there's that element of creating a character in Nick or whoever because he is a real person and because we don't actually know what he's really like. When writing about a character from a show, that character sketch is already laid out for you.

Besides BSB, I've written a few Take That stories, a Twilight one-shot and a Supernatural/BSB crossover. I would love to write some more Supernatural or maybe Doctor Who.
