What do you think is the biggest misconception people have about your work?

If I'm lumped into any group, it'd be the Angstoholics Anonymous - which I created myself along with Cinzia, so I guess it doesn't bother me! LOL It's appropriate; I do write a ton of angst. I'm best known for my medical drama/disease stories, which I don't mind. Broken/BMS and Curtain Call are the stories that have gotten me most of my readers. That said, I don't thing people pigeonhole me into only writing that type of story because I have written plenty of other types, too, even if they haven't read them.
As far as misconceptions ... maybe that my stories are overly long or must be boring because they're so long. Or that when I hurt a Backstreet Boy or give him some deadly disease, it's like I'm wishing death on him in real life. Someone said that once, not about me specifically but just about the genre in general. I can appreciate that, to people on the outside who don't get it, what I write must seem pretty weird - that's why I don't share it with people in my real life. But that is not true.
Rose:
The biggest misconception might be that what I write doesn't have anything beyond gore or torture. Which definitely isn't true. I love my gore lol, but I write stories without any at all. Some where they're not even tortured even. Or that I'm so anti-romance that I won't even write it, which I do. Typically as a subplot but I do.
The other is the one Julie mentioned...th at because I write about horrible things happening, diseases, injuries, accidents, etc...that I wish them on the Boys. That's so far from the truth it's not even funny LOL.
FrickingKaos:
I have always written either group or Nick centered sories, and that still has not changed, although I have written shorts using the other boys. I tried writing an AJ story which.failed miserably lol.

Describe the plot of the cheesiest story you've ever written (or cheesiest part, if you can't think of a whole story).

I think that my cheesiest story would be my very first one. It was set during the hiatus between Black&Blue and Never Gone and dealt with the Brian and Nick's issues. Nick was on tour when Kevin called him to inform that Brian was in hospital so the whole story was about Nick's rushing to Brian's bedside while reflecting and remembering their friendship. Cheeiest part was the whole dramatic speech Nick made while Brian was unconscious, though he didn't sing to him. lol
