Question of the day part 9 (even though days go by lol)

If I had known so many posts would have showed up between when I started to write this and now I would have quoted Cinzia! LOL

That's an interesting analysis and probably very true. In defense of Blurry Brian, though, I think you can be supportive of a friend without having to support all the bad decisions your friend is making... and if there's a lot of that happening, sometimes you do need to take a step back to avoid getting caught in the crossfire yourself. Especially when you're trying to establish yourself as a Christian music artist and your friend is dating Paris Hilton and getting DUIs. Just saying LOL.
Without knowing what was really going on between the guys behind the scenes during that period, I'm not sure Brian or any of them could have done much to help Nick, other than set a good example. Nick needed to make his mistakes and learn some life lessons the hard way; that's just part of growing up. I'm glad he did.

How do your writing preferences differ from your reading preferences? Is there anything you like to include in your own stories that you don't like to see in other people's, or vice versa?

As I mentioned in the other thread, even though I do torture the guys from time to time in my own fics, I don't enjoy reading physical torture scenes in other people's stories to the point that I will actually skim through those or avoid stories about them totally, like all the Death and Slaughtered stories.
I also don't enjoy when the boys die in a bloody, gory way but I don't ever write things like that either lol

I agree! I think being blurry was a little ridiculous but everything else you said makes perfect sense. Unfortunately they all have to worry about the spotlight and their own images. Being famous would suck! I would love the money but not all the other crap that comes with it!

Honestly my love for Nick waned a lot in the "Dark Ages" because I felt like he was just heading into this bad place and it was really hard to watch as a fan. But it never died out. And ever since he's gotten everything together it's only grown and I'm like yup, justified fandom right here LOL.
Brian, man I was a hard core Brian fan. Even when he tied Nick because he was silly and goofy but not over the top. He was more adorable than anything. I loved him a lot more in the Frick and Frack days. Something I think Howie/Nick has replaced in terms of real life. I think twitter, some of his voice problems, and then Leighanne's insanity has made my love wane a bit. I think a lot of it is her influence but it got to the point where I unfollowed them on twitter because it's better I still think of him as old school/fanfic Brian. I still like writing him with Nick but I wonder at times if my block (which is going away) was partly because of this. I've had a majorly hard time writing him in HWS because I use a lot of "real" stuff and was relieved when I was done with his chapters.
Howie has grown to be hilarious in my eyes. I love him! Like he's really way there's no order beyond Nick anymore in my list of faves. I always adored Kevin as the big brother and it's increased a lot now that he's back. I missed him the entire time he was gone. As for AJ, he frustrates me at times in real life but because of that he's probably why I love writing him as a character LOL.
