Question of the day part 8
Purpura Lipstick:
I didn't search out a lot of fanfiction sites or devote a lot of time to reading it until I started the review site. Then I typically read what had been submitted to me for review. There were too many stories for me to sift through and with running the two sites (CYDMR and the Silver Lining Reviews) and going to school, student teaching, working part-time, just meeting my now husband, and my own writing I didn't really have a lot of time to hunt for stories to read. I read several of Chava's though and I had a sister site... I want to say her name was Tracy but I can't remember her site name.... I read a few of hers. I knew about My Confession and Under the Sheets, might have read a few on there but can't really recall.

The first place I posted my fanfics was on ff.net but I read on AC and there. I also read on some other sites too, but I don't remember what they were offhand. When ff.net got rid of real person fic I took a hiatus from writing and started on AC from scratch in 2009.
The first stories I read on AC were by Mare and Chaos....plus some by Rose :)

Here is a question for you guys!
I kind of asked this once before but I'm adding more to it. In that interview the guys did with Perez, I guess they asked if the guys ever read fanfics and I think someone said Nick said they were weird or something similar to that. I didn't actually get to see the interview because Perez freezes my computer lol
Anyway, here is the question. How would you feel if during that conversation it was clear that Nick or any of the others were talking about YOUR fanfic? Like "I read this one where this crazy chick had Brian carve the word MINE into my skin. How freaking crazy do you have to be to come up with that?"
Would it deter you from writing them again? Would you suddenly feel differently about writing about the guys in the first place? Would it change your opinion about them in general even?

My favorite part of that interview was when Kevin mentioned that we have him and Nick hook up, to which Nick was like, "WHAT?!" That tells me Kevin knows a little something about fanfic LOL.
To answer your question... honestly, I would be mortified. Would it make me regret writing it or deter me from writing more, though? I don't know. I'm thinking probably not. This hobby is such a big part of my life, so ingrained in me, that it would take a lot for me to stop doing it. Like a cease and desist letter LOL. I think if I felt like I had personally offended them or something, I'd be more apt to stop, but I don't think them saying, "Wow, that's really freaking crazy" would be enough to change my opinion. I'm self-aware enough to know how weird what I write is, and that's what a pen name is for and why I would never mention fanfic or my website when meeting them in person. :P

Btw, here's a YouTube link to that interview; that might work better for you than Perez's stupid site, Mare.

I'm watching it again... yeah, Kevin's totally read some fanfic. Maybe that's how he kept himself entertained during his break. I wonder if he read that one slash of Bobbi's where he and Nick call each other Kermit and Miss Piggy. :D
