Question of the Day Part 5

--- Quote from: mare on August 05, 2012, 01:56:18 PM ---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

I'm not sure which I found easier, but I certainly enjoyed writing the Winchester brothers in Games :)

And you also mentioned you wish more people would try romance. I think that's a pretty popular genre I just think it might not seem that way because most of the people who actually post in here happen to like non romance. I wish more people posted besides the same few of us just so we could get those differing opinions every once in awhile but not sure how to get the lurkers to actually post. lol

That's a story I want to read, but as it's incomplete and hasn't been updated for over 3 years, I don't want to start it and end up hooked.

What are some of the things you have read within the last year? What made you click on it and did you stick with it or plan on sticking with it until it's finished? Is it updated frequently? Does the author know you're reading it?

Let's see...
Chronos Project - for the AC challenge
Scattered Pictures
Guilty Roads
Secrets of the Heart
Running Up That Hill
Maybe Tomorrow
Save a Prayer
Fracture
The Archangels
Last Christmas
I'm behind on a lot of these lol, but I plan on reading to catch up when I get a moment too. The only ones that are finished are Save a Prayer, and Chronos Project right now. Some of these (like Save a Prayer) are just my kind of story, the Boys, gross things, and lots of action, or bromance. Others are written by my favorite authors and I know I usually love what they write.
When I read something, the authors always know. I review frequently and even if I'm behind I make sure to tell them it's not the story, it's real life getting in the way LOL.

And LOL, don't feel bad about the self-inserts; I have done self-inserts too (though I've never put myself in a banner and never will! LOL). There's another strike against 00Carter, because Rose and Dee and I, the three ringleaders that sort of organized the whole thing, used ourselves as inspiration for the original three Carter girls - Professor Pearl, Diamond Divine, and Red Jewel. They're definitely exaggerated, romanticized versions of ourselves, obviously LOL, and it was all in good fun, but still. I've done a real self-insert with my name too. Like I said, pretty much everything on that list of turn-offs, I've done myself at one point or another.

You know though, I don't think they are now the way they were then. They've morphed into their own, I think LOL. And it's really funny since my fave character is none of those...but Emerald lmao, in terms of females. That and I don't think people would've known unless we said it. Self-inserts I can handle, it's blatant ones who have no personality who drive me nuts LOL.

Speaking of romance, I don't hate it....it is just something I don't read a lot of. I write it myself but just haven't been motivated to finish it. My Nick and Amanda series is AU and I know a lot of people aren't into it, but I enjoy writing it.
