In a music thread, basically throwing the fact I write fanfic at me so my opinion isn't valid.

Now there's one saying all I do is fantasize about "Nick and crew".

Clearly they don't know I kill him regularly.

I just read it, I wasn't surprised by one of the people. I was half expecting it. He's one of the reason's I just stopped going over there because his total music inaccuracies made my head hurt often! LOL okay enough hijacking this thread with this stuff. I was just curious!

I can't remember anyone online making me feel ashamed or embarrassed of writing fanfic.  Most of the people I know online at least read fanfic, and I don't post regularly on any BSB forums that aren't fanfic-related, so that probably helps.

What Julie posted awhile ago with the plane falling on someone and crushing his kidneys is the reason for these questions lol

It was actually his lungs, Mare.  The piece of plane landed on his chest REALLY HARD and crushed his lungs.  The story mentioned it several times in the same paragraph; weren't you reading?!  LOL


Craziest storyline?  The Terror Chronicles (http://www.dreamers-sanctuary.com/vault/chronicles.html)
Nick almost dies at a concert after his harness was tampered with (this was during the Millennium tour, when they flew over the audience), and my self-insert is a doctor in the audience who comes to his aid, and then Brian and I get kidnapped from the hospital, and it turns out it was NSYNC behind all of this, and Brian almost gets raped by Lance Bass.  That's only Part 1 of 3; it used to be three separate stories that I combined into one, and I don't even remember what happened in the other two.  More crazy things LOL.

The dumbest plot?  Everyone (http://www.dreamers-sanctuary.com/vault/everyone.html)
This is a one-shot in which Nick is on the verge of shooting himself in the head before a show, until he thinks of the lyrics to Everyone and realizes he shouldn't kill himself because the fans love him too much.  Then he kicks the gun under the green room couch and goes to perform like nothing happened.  Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb!  This was during my suicide story phase.

The most unique?  00Carter (http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9085)
That may be an oxymoron because 00Carter is like a walking parody, but it's still unique to our fandom.  I don't know of any other BSB fanfics like it.

Weirdest name for a character?  Praline Parker from Not Another Teenybopper Fanfic (http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=7804)
It was making fun of weird Mary Sue names in teenybopper stories.  I never gave my characters weird names, even in my old stories.

Biggest inaccuracy?  Silent Desperation (http://www.dreamers-sanctuary.com/vault/silent.html)
So... one of my friends suggested I write a story about one of the Backstreet Boys being addicted to drugs.  I stupidly said, "Okay!" when though I knew nothing about addiction or drugs at the time  I tried to write a story about Brian getting addicted to painkillers after a car accident, but, being a fairly naive fifteen-year-old, most of my drug knowledge came from DARE and my freshman health class.  I think I did try to do some research... using Encarta '95, since I didn't have internet in my room LOL.  When I found that morphine, codeine, and heroin are all opiates, I was like, "Okay!  I'm gonna have Brian get addicted to opium!"  Not realizing that pure opium is not something a modern doctor would prescribe LOL.  The story would have worked out a lot better if I'd set it in 18th century China LOL.

Stupidest Title?  Cry of Despair (http://www.dreamers-sanctuary.com/vault/despair.html)
I don't know that Nick ever does cry out in despair in this story.  I think it just sounded like a good, generic, angsty title, regardless of whether it actually fit the plot or not LOL.

Something you wish you could take back?  Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Backstreet Boy (http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10904)
I wish I had never posted this story.  Not that I'd never written it, because I like it and plan on finishing it someday, but I should have waited until it was farther along to start posting it.

Story you cringe when you find out someone has read it?  There are many from my first year of writing, but I guess the biggest one would be Silent Desperation, the opium one.  That is my most embarrassing story.

Story you'd wish everyone would read already!  Secrets of the Heart (http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9283&warning=4)
I think this story is unique and worth reading, but the long hiatus in updates and the fact that it's an AU about Brian and AJ instead of Nick probably turned people off.

Most impulsive story?  The Other Child (http://www.dreamers-sanctuary.com/other.html)
This was another storyline that was suggested by a reader, and I said "Okay!" and started writing it, only to realize I hated it.  Then I impulsively tacked on an ending so I could call it done and said I'd write a sequel to tell the rest of the story, which I have never written and never will.

I will be back to answer soon but I'll add in a question since on TDS someone tried to throw my fanfic at me like I should be ashamed or something...

Has anyone (online) tried to make you feel embarrassed/ashamed of writing fanfic? Why did you feel that way if it worked?

Online it didn't happen. Actually, it's online that I found friends and people who share this love for fanfiction.

Apparently not! and just lmao to all your answers especially the opium one!

I am once again having trouble with my answers to my own survey.  :crazy:

No one has ever made me feel ashamed to write fanfic either but much like Julie said, everyone else I talk to online knows me for fanfic first because they all wrote and read it. Maybe if people from my real life found out, I'm sure I'd be judged by some. I mean they judge me for just 'liking' the Backstreet Boys! They don't have any idea just how much! So I can only imagine if they found out I wrote stories about them.  LOL

Craziest storyline? Weird World. This story is probably the most insane, with  brainwashed BSB, evil Kevin, evil Nick clone running around....cons piracies and kidnappings... .definitely lives up to the title LOL http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10854

The dumbest plot? Hmmm I don't think any of my plots fit that.

The most unique? Finding Carter, its an AU about Nick being in college, discovering himself along the way. All the boys are in it and while its an AU it has a really cool plot and storyline. http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10986

Weirdest name for a character? I named Nick's daughter Celine Nicole in my Nick and Amanda series. I don't think this is an odd name, but it's probably the weirdest.

Biggest inaccuracy? Unless I missed something and it hasn't been pointed out....none so far. I fixed the Clone Series inaccuracies when I rewrote them as Weird World.

Stupidest Title? Howie Snaps. It was a short for a challenge and I'd been watching Hey Arnold on Netflix....Cur ly Snaps is one of my favorite episodes, that's where that came from. http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10977

Something you wish you could take back? I think saying Incomplete was my worst story...it was my first and the plot was very cliche, complete with the boys trying to sing Nick out of a coma. It isnt my best work but I grew from that. http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9526

Story you cringe when you find out someone has read it? Tales From The Drive Thru, just cause it was one of my earlier attempts at AU. it was a funny idea...but not my best work. http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10280

Story you'd wish everyone would read already! A few have read it but When I Grow Up is a comedy, has brotherly moments and is a quick read. It's not AU and all five boys are in the story as well :) http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10595

Most impulsive story: I think I'd have to say Jizzle Of Oz cause it started out as a joke, then turned into a discussion on here. It was just a fun little parody story. http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10417

Craziest storyline?
Comedy of Errors http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8264
The story was told from finish to start after I saw the episode of Seinfeld that did the same thing. Of course Seinfeld's was a lot better than this ended up being LOL 

The dumbest plot?

This is What Happens When Chinchillas are Bored http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9672&chapter=1
It's about Nick and alien pretzel, a groundhog and a chinchilla LOL do I really need to say anything else? Besides I have to admit I just reread it and it's really funny! At least I know I can still crack myself up!

The most unique?
The Haunted House http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10712
I decided to write a story told from the house's POV l thought that was pretty original!

Weirdest name for a character?
Sir Rodney McBoobiekins from Summer at Elk Wood Pines http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8923&warning=4

Biggest inaccuracy?
5 Backstreet Boys in Search of a Plot - the medical chapter http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=4359&textsize=0&chapter=16

Stupidest Title?

All I Wanted was some Cough Medicine LOL

Something you wish you could take back?

Having Kevin call Nick baby in some of my way older stuff! LOL

Story you cringe when you find out someone has read it?
Baby, I'm Amazed notice the absence of a link to this one! LOL

Story you'd wish everyone would read already!
It would have been Protect and Serve but because of this challenge, this one seems to finally be getting some of the attention I feel like it's always deserved because to this day I think it's the best story I've come up with. Maybe not in the writing department but the actual stringing it together and telling the story, department.

So, I guess my second choice would be Shadow Woods http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=5902
I think it's a pretty good suspense with lot's of twists and turns but also a fair share of brotherly bonding and humor, plus one of those surprises I don't like to give away!

Most impulsive story?[/b]
Scattered Pictures http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10964
After I found out the boys were living together in London while recording for the album I impulsively started writing short stories about it! LOL

Craziest storyline?
I'll go with a story that sounds like a soap - opera, mostly because it had changed at least four times while I was still writing the chapters. It started as a triangle between Aj, Brian and Nick and, in the background, Brian's heart problems. Then, one original character stood up and demanded more attention and space so it turned out in a foursome.  :crazy: :crazy:


The dumbest plot?
It's a one-shot, a parody, in which Brian has this secret identity, Roklord and his duty was to save Nick from crazy fans that wanted him. I've laughed so hard while writing but, yeah, pretty dumb. Especially because his special power was throwing roses, just like Tuxed Mask in "Sailor Moon". lol


The most unique?
A fantasy AU that I'm hoping to start translating soon, in which Brian is half - angel and half - human. I spent a whole week only plotting the storyline and creating the angel's world. I've even drawn a map of the city.

Weirdest name for a character?
Dirk. I don't even know where it came from but, well, it was for a very small character. lol


Biggest inaccuracy?
Probably in my very first story, where I had Brian in a hospital and never told why he was there. The only thing that I've made someone else saying was that it wasn't his heart.  :-X It was just bad.

Stupidest Title?
Roklord. Well, the story itself wasn't that serious. LOL

Something you wish you could take back?
Again, my very first story. I still don't have the courage to erase it but I'm rewriting it and just the prologue is longer than half of the previous story. As I said before, there are a lot of things that didn't work, the plotline itself wasn't that great, there was no depth of the characters or accuracy.

Story you cringe when you find out someone has read it?
That first story. When people write me and say: "Oh, I love this story" I'm like: "Are you serious?  :crazy:"

Story you'd wish everyone would read already!
Love Story. http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10944&warning=4
I loved writing it, I loved doing research about New York and, being an AU, creating the characters and watched them grow and change with each chapter. I'm proud of it, especially because I've managed to translate it. Yay!

Most impulsive story?
A lot of my one-shorts are impulvise. I'm an emotional writer so when something happens or when I'm really depressed, blue or just sad I write. An example is "Crash and Burn" http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=11067 , which I've written a day when I was really sad and needed a hug.
