Fic Talk > General Discussion
Question of the day part 9 (even though days go by lol)
emilo:
To answer my own question, the only person who knows about my fan fiction writing is my husband, which is a little weird, I know. Basically, he caught me typing furiously one day and wanted to know who I was sending such a long e-mail to...lol. So, I had to fess up that I was actually writing a story. Over time, he got nosy and saw AC, so I had to fess up that it was Backstreet Boys fanfic. He thinks it's "cute"... haha! But I'm not likely to ever let him read it. He knows this is my little escape from the real world, and supports it, though. As for anyone else in my life, I'm sure they'd think I was off my rocker. I have some old friends that were pretty hardcore BSB fans with me back in their heyday, and some of us are going to a concert together in August. One of them sent a Facebook message to us all saying something like, "Remember the fanfics we used to write?" I joined in on the discussion, but I could never really see myself saying something like, "Oh, I'm writing it again. Check it out!"
As for the rewrite question, I guess "Forever" is kind of a re-write. I still think it could he a better story plot and content-wise, but I wanted to stay pretty true to the original basis of the story, so it lacks a little as far as original storyline and good character development, but I'm still working on it! I'm happy with my other couple of fanfics just the way they are right now.

I need to find a husband who thinks writing fanfic about the Backstreet Boys is cute!
Some of my friends used to read fanfic way back in the day when we were all fans. I was the one who discovered it and showed the rest of them, but I never let them know when I started writing it. Then they all sort of grew out of BSB, so I definitely wouldn't tell them now LOL.

^ I know! Emily, you are a lucky lady lol
The only fanfics I have ever wanted to remake are the ones that were left incomplete. I have always said that I would have loved to finish Prisoners of War by Eboni but then it would suck the fun out of reading it! It would be so much better if those people would just come back and finish it themselves!!!
As far as my own stuff goes, I have been half tempted to go back and redo Mizpah but in a way I think I kind of have with my other kidnapping fics. I think out of all my stuff, that's the one I'd like a chance to change if I could. I don't know if I'd be comfortable letting anyone remake one of my stories. I guess it would depend on who asked.
I sometimes wish I wasn't as embarrassed to admit I write fanfic or I love the Backstreet Boys. I mean there's really nothing to be embarrassed about but still, I guess it's the stigma that's attached to both of those things. It seems like fan fiction is becoming more mainstream now but I still couldn't see myself openly admitting I write it anytime soon. lol

Have you ever written something way out of your comfort zone and did it change the way you write in general?
Is there anyone you would like to see write something other than what they are usually known for?

No one knows about my stories, apart from other writers on here and a Take That site I used to post my stuff on. I'd be horrified if my family or friends found out, they'd think I was a weirdo lol.
