Question of the day part 7

Rose:

--- Quote from: RokofAges75 on October 11, 2012, 09:59:33 PM ---I think I would struggle the same way with a Howie or Kevin story.  I love Howie and Kevin, but I just don't find them as interesting to write about (except in 00Carter).  I love writing AJ better as a supporting character than a main character, but it depends on the story - I have written some stories with AJ as a main character.  I do best when it's Brian or Nick in the lead role.

--- End quote ---

I think I would too. I mean if Kevin's a main, it's because of his relationship with Nick. AJ if I use him, it's more to use his "bad ass" type side and twist it a little bit for humor or angst depending on the story LOL. I haven't written AJ centered stories beyond one-shots though I have an idea I've had on hold forever. I feel like I write him best as a supporting. Same with Howie, he's best as the under-the-radar pillar of support for Nick.

Sakabelle:
Honestly, when I think about writing a new fic I very rarely think about casting any boy other than Nick in a lead role. I've always just written about Nick and the one time I tried to write an AJ story I just couldn't get into it. Nick is definitely my favourite to write about, so when I brainstorm for new ideas, I brainstorm for ideas that would work with him.

The only exception was Running Up That Hill and I knew from the beginning that I wanted it to be a group centered story. This is probably part of the reason that it takes so long for me to write that one- because I very rarely get inspired to write about the other boys.

FrickingKaos:
Oh I do too Julie. I was so excited for the idea and completely lost my muse for it. I'm glad it hasn't happened for Finding Carter. I've been cranking out daily updates for it. One day I hope to finish FON one day...although lately I've been thinking about just deleting it completely.

Rose:
That's one thing I don't do is delete stories. Sometimes people like to reread them - finished or not. I hated when other authors do it so I decided never to do it myself.

Sakabelle:
I've deleted stuff before mostly because it was either old and embarrassing, or because I knew I was never going to finish it. I also don't like it when people randomly delete things without warning and I recall when I was going to remove those I gave warning so if anyone actually wanted to save them, they could.
