Song For The Undead
Why I'd Do It All Again
Ground Zero
Homecoming
Just One Kiss
I'd pick these because they're some of my favourites and also because they show the diversity in the type of stories written about the boys.
Carter-Orange:
I've never read that Oreos story or the baseball one because baseball wouldn't appeal to me.

The self inserts, the self promotion. I remember at one point that if you didn't write slash or visuals or romances you were pretty much nothing in this fandom. I mean all that other stuff was stil out there but nowhere near as popular as it is now. We've come a long way and our standards have gotten higher but I think it's because we are all older.
I'm not positive but I think when you look at the 1D general fan population it represents more how this fandom was back for us maybe in 99 when most of their fans were teens and very early twenties.
Now most of us are in our mid twenties and up. Hopefully they'll evolve too as long as their group is still relevant lol
Not sure about the Take That fandom since i'm not really familiar with them, but that's just a mess! Banning people because they didn't read? That just takes power hungry douche to a whole new level!!

That's what I think. The 1D fandom is pretty much what we were like in the 90s LOL.

It's not as popular on this forum, but back in the day, it seemed like everyone was raving about that story!! It was the 50 Shades of Grey of BSB fanfic back in the mid-2000s or so LOL.

Oh god yes LOL. That would've been it. Still don't get why but I agree.

Where Can We Go From Here? by Whitney
Ground Zero by Chaos
The Answer is Yes by Eboni
Curtain Call by Julie
Why I'd Do It All Again by Mare
I tried to pull one of each trend or genre. Bus Crash, illness, bromance, sci-fi and kidnapping. Each one was incredibly well written. It's also a good mix of old school and recent.
