Fic Talk > General Discussion
Question of the day part 8
Carter-Orange:
I'd be horrified if they actually came out and said something like "oh yeah, I read this one story where the writer had Nick picking bot flies out of Jordan's Knight's brain, what kind of weirdo writes shit like that?", but after the initial horror, I'd probably laugh it off! It wouldn't stop me writing either. If I ever met them, there is no way I'd bring up fanfiction, I wouldn't mention my user name either LOL.
mare:
Thanks, Julie! I was able to finally see this interview. I bet it was that slash story! And what the hell kind of fanfics is Nick reading where he just runs everywhere naked? LOL
I am torn when it comes to this topic. Part of me would be absolutely mortified if I knew not only did they read my stuff but actually didn't like it. But another part of me wishes they would read something other than the smut so many people think of when they hear the words fan fiction. That there is more to it then just having sex etc...
So here's another related question, If they seemed like they really wanted to read a good story and asked you for one recommendation, what story would you pick and why? It doesn't have to be one of yours, just something you might think would interest them and not make them think that BSB fanfics are either about them being into each other or naked running around all day long! and gossipy? LOL that was a weird description too!
ANd on an unrelated to fanfic note about that interview, I love how long it took Kevin to answer his question. Ah, I have missed overly contemplating Kevin! And I love how Nick just finally said "I don't think he wants to be any of us!" LOL
Carter-Orange:
I'd recommend Song For The Undead because what's not to love about the boys killing zombies? LOL. But I think they'd enjoy it because it's a great story and because it's AU, they could read it and possibly try to imagine it's not about them (even though it is SO them!).
I loved Kevin in that interview too :)

LOL That's the only specific Kevin/Nick slash I could name. I don't even remember the title; I only read bits and pieces because someone told me about the Kermit/Miss Piggy thing, and I was like, "What?! No way!" and had to see for myself.

Thanks, Steph!
I think I would recommend an AU or an action/adventure story, something that gets them away from the music business stuff and into a situation they've never experienced in real life. So a story like "Between the Lines" or "Save a Prayer" or "Whatever the Night May Bring."
I wouldn't recommend any story that's based on something that happened in their real lives because they would probably just read it and go, "That's not how that happened." I also wouldn't recommend anything that is too reality/music business-based because, again, they know what their lives are like better than we do, and they wouldn't buy it. With a story like the ones I named, I think they'd have an easier time accepting that they are characters in a story, not that we're trying to write them exactly as they are. And they might even enjoy reading about their fanfic selves doing heroic things or even just something different, like playing major league baseball.
I was also going to say I wouldn't recommend any story that's about one of them being sick or dying, but one of them does die in two of those three stories, so never mind LOL. Nothing too cheesy/sappy/tearjerkery though.
