FrickingKaos:
Stories told in present day, or back in the day?
I love me some old school BSB!!!
Stories featuring real wives/family or fictional wives/family?
I prefer no family to be honest. Unless it is just about one boy and their family, a real family is more interesting than a made up one.

Bromances give me the warm fuzzies.
All five guys, one or some?
All of them :))

I will read any of them

I like both. But I have read some REALLY good first person stories.

A good helping of both

I prefer no list so I can use my imagination.

Blood and guts covering the fluffy animals :D
Slash or Het?
I prefer Het.
AU or Sci Fi?
I enjoy both.

Suspense but I will read drama too.

I tend to read more victim stories but it would be nice if people write some where Nick was a hero too lol

I am really odd. I like the dramatics of illness ans death.

I love good angsty emoness.
Kevin the jerk or Kevin the big brother?
I love brother/father figure Kevin. Warm fuzzies :)

Brian or "Husband"
Brian!!! The husband thing is annoying.
Stereotypical Howie or Evil Howie?
Evil Howie FTW!!!

Unless it is a series, I prefer the story to be resolved rather than me going WTF at the end.
Banner or no banner?
I like banners but most of my favoriges don't even need or have them. It's a toss up.
One shots or song fics?
One shots
Reader or writer?
I definitely read A LOT more than I write. To the point where I never find time to do either lol.
usako:
Stories told in present day, or back in the day?
Both, though I have a preference for stories told back in the day. Especially the ones dealing and set during Brian's heart problems. The angst potential of that period is infinite.
Stories featuring real wives/family or fictional wives/family?
Real wives and family. I can bear fictional if they are written very very well.
Romance or Bromance?
Bromance. Well, as a slash writer and reader, I think I have to add romance too. lol
All five guys, one or some?
All of them. They don't have to share the same amount of attention and shine but I love the stories dealing with their relationship.
Long stories, Series, or shorter stories?
Long stories and series. The longer stories are, the more I love them.
Female centered or BSB centered?
BSB centered. If I wanted to read a story about a fictional/original character, I won't read BSB stories. Especially if the female character is a self insertion or a Mary Sue.
1st person or 3rd person?
3rd person. I prefer it because it gives the chance to describe the story not only from one POV so that the reader can have the whole situation in front of his eyes.
More description or More dialogue?
Both. There has to be a balance between them.
Character list or not (Meaning a visual diagram of what all the characters look like before you start to read)
No. A little bit of description as we meet them during the reading, yes. But a character list? not at all.
Blood and guts or fluffy kittens and bunnies?
Blood and guts with a little fluff. lol
Slash or Het?
Slash. LOL
AU or Sci Fi?
AU. And Sci Fi Au. XD
Suspense or Drama?
Both.
Nick as a victim or Nick as a hero?
Can I chose a third option? lol I'll go as a hero. lol
Happy and healthy or sick and dying?
A mix. Though sick stories are my weakness.
Emo or over the top happy?
Emo
Kevin the jerk or Kevin the big brother?
Both. lol It depends on the story, he can be a jerk while being the big brother.
Pre rehab AJ or post rehab AJ?
Both.
Brian or "Husband"
LOL Brian.
Stereotypical Howie or Evil Howie?
Evil Howie. It makes him more interesting.
Cliffhangers or not?
Cliffhangers.
Open endings or resolutions?
Open ending if it's a series. Resolutions for all the other stories.
Banner or no banner?
Sigh. Banner.
One shots or song fics?
Both.
Reader or writer?
I would be more a reader if there are more Brian centered story. So, now, I'm more writer.
