Question of the day part 9 (even though days go by lol)
Sakabelle:
What is your favorite chapter you've written, and why?
I chose chapter 16 of I Wish where Niall totally cheesily confesses his love for Brittany through song. I thought it worked though given the plot behind that story is him giving her guitar lessons, so they'd been singing and sharing music throughout the whole story. I shamelessly love that chapter of I Wish and at the risk of sounding arrogant I think it's one of the best things I've written. Also, I was listening to the song that's featured in the chapter and the scene wrote itself in my head. I had to run home to write it. I was only on chapter 2 of that story at the time and I feel like it gave the story more direction.
What's the best beginning you've written, and why?
The beginning of Where You Are is really the end of another story that's completely outlined in my head, but I'll never write. I was originally going to write the first story, but I thought the aftermath of it would be more interesting than the story itself, so I went with writing the "sequel" without ever intending to write the story that inspired all of it. Where You Are doesn't start out slowly like most of my others do - it just throws you into the plot. Niall's girlfriend is dead, he's really depressed about it oh and by the way Liam's in love with him - the first chapter leaves nothing to the imagination and for that story I think it worked.

I have two answers to this one!
Four Santas Too Many! Because it was just an overly cute little story about the guys all showing up at Brian's house on Christmas Eve to spend the entire night helping him put all of Baylee's toys together for his very first Christmas. It was just cheesy because of all the silly humor thrown in there!
The Apartment was also high on the cheese factor because of the overly brotherly bonding moments. I think I went a little over the top with that one! LOL Not bad, just cheesy! But I have to say I have never had the guys sing anyone into or out of any kind of consciousness so that's something, right?

How did you decide on your favorite chapter? Did you know what your favorite was ahead of time, or did you have to really think about it or narrow it down?
It was really hard to actually pick one. I have over 70 stories on the AC site so trying to fill this survey out was kind of tough. I'm sure it's just as hard for people who don't have many stories to pick from either. I really have a lot of favorite chapters and I kind of wish that maybe I went with a different one to maybe show more depth or range, but the reason I picked the sandwich one was because even though I have the WORST memory on the planet, I vividly remember this chapter! "The eyes rolls have it," which is another one from Why I'd Do it all Again came in a close second! I could probably list about ten others from various stories. Does that make me sound like a total pompous ass? LOL
What makes your best beginning a great start to a story?
I picked two different stories for this one. The 5 BSB one because it really sets up the tone of the entire thing. It starts out sounding really angsty and serious before the narrator starts talking and then you get to see what it's really all about. I also wanted to pick something more serious and I feel like the prologue to The Thirteenth Step is mysterious enough that you want to click the next chapter to see who is talking.

One of my old favorite fanfics is called "Survivor," and that's exactly what the premise was! It does sound cheesy, but it was actually a really good story. I still love the show!
