I want to see that movie! I might splurge next week and go see a matinee or something before it disappears!

I would say the most self indulgent story I have ever written is 5 Backstreet Boys in Search of a Plot. The three of us wrote this purely for our own enjoyment just to overly mock and take a stab at all the sterotypical things that went on in all the genres of fanfic. We cracked ourselves up as we did it and pretty much didn't care whether people read it or not. We were surprised to see it end up as popular as it did, but yeah, that one was pretty self indulgent!

As a solo act, I would have to say Why I'd Do it All Again was my self indulgent homage to the boys because I got to just selfishly make up in my mind what I wanted to really happen behind the scenes of their day to day lives, not really caring if I was right on the money or not. I mean, I would love to picture Nick really falling out of a window to grab his cellphone to this day and in my head it actually happened! lmao

Is there anything that is 'off limits' to you as a writer? Something you would NEVER do in one of your stories?

I can't ever see myself writing a female centered fic ever. Yup, I'll kill the kids but damn it all to hell if I center a BSB fanfic around a girl! lmao

LMFAO I love you, Mare.

For the self-indulgent story question, I'd have to answer for the past and the present, because my most self-indulgent stories were written like 13 years ago.  There was my girlband story, "Through Thick and Thin," in which I based the female characters on myself and my best friends, and yes, we all hooked up with the Backstreet Boys.  That was very self-indulgent (and yes, I seriously did write a story like that LOL).  Then there was "The Terror Chronicles," which is the only story in which I've blatantly included myself as a character - my ideal future adult self, that is, since I was fifteen when I wrote it.  I did NOT hook up with a Backstreet Boy in that one, only because I was already married to a character based on my real life high school crush.  So that was pretty self-indulgent too.

As far as more recent examples go... I think my most self-indulgent story is Footprints, which is basically just scenes and back story from Broken written from Claire's point of view.  I won't say I wrote it just because I couldn't let go of Broken, because I still had a ways to go on BMS when I started it, but I also didn't write it because it was in any way necessary to the series.  I just wrote it because I liked my character Claire and because I wanted to, which I guess is what makes it self-indulgent.  It's my one and only venture into "neverending romance series" territory.
