It's funny you say that because I made Darby send me a video of her talking once so I could hear her Texas accent LOL She was sure to say "Hi y'all!" just to make me happy. :)

I hate the sound of my own voice when I hear it back, but I am nosy and love hearing how other people sound.

Have you ever written fanfic for another fandom? Did you find the change difficult? Have you ever taken one story from one fandom and changed it for another? If you haven't tried to write in another fandom yet, would you and which would it be?

The only other fandom I've been "successful" in writing fic for is 1D. When I was in high school my friends and I would write slash fics for Gundam Wing and other anime shows sometimes, but for those fics I was always more of a reader than a writer. What I always found difficult about that was having watched those shows in Japanese, it made it near impossible to write a fic in English and make it sound right. I did also do some writing for Avatar: The Last Airbender, but I did only two stories and kind of got bored with it. They were fun characters to play with, but again I was more into the reading aspect than the writing for that fandom.
The change from BSB to 1D wasn't difficult because it was something that happened naturally. I was bored with BSB, they weren't doing anything and I wanted to try writing something completely new. I started writing about 1D without knowing a lot about them so I probably imprinted BSB personalities onto them at first, but not really anymore. I just found that I really enjoyed playing with these completely new characters who were still in a familiar boyband setting. It's sort of weird too because I remember when a lot of NKOTB fic was popping up on here and I didn't really understand it, but now I kind of do.
I've never taken a story from one fandom and changed it for another. I probably could take some of my older BSB fics and change them to 1D with some tweaks, but as they were written as BSB fics, I'd still be picturing Nick as the lead in them. It'd still be Nick's personality so whoever I changed him to would be acting out of character. I figure the whole point of writing in a new fandom is to try something new, so I wouldn't be accomplishing that by taking an old fic and just changing it.

LOL Thanks! You really don't sound overly Canadian LOL.
I had an English friend back in the day that I used to voice chat with, and it was fun to hear her accent!

Does anyone else hear voices for each other in your heads? You all have a different voice in my head that I hear when I read your replies lol
