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

I just had to go re-read this cause it had been so long, and now I'm LMFAO!  That made my whole morning.

Craziest storyline? Howie growing another head in my one shot called The Man With Two Brains lol
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10900

The dumbest plot? Forces of Nature, girl meets AJ at the airport and ends up dumping her asshole boyfriend for him basically.

The most unique? Unwinding Truth which is a collab with Lore.  It's an AU sci-fi with all the guys in it.
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10831

Weirdest name for a character? Kayla in the story When We Collide.  I have no idea where the name came from and what possessed me to pick it!  Maybe it was on TV at the time I began writing the story, or something like that.

Biggest inaccuracy? In Ten Things towards the beginning, I had one of the characters being pregnant, then about a year later she still was LOL.  I obviously overlooked that detail when I was writing and haven't gone back and changed it as it would require a lot of re-writing of a story that has been complete for quite some time (plus I'm lazy).
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9934

Stupidest Title? Christmas Time, Panda Skunks & Wine
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=11042

Something you wish you could take back? There are some stories on here I think are a little cringeworthy, but the ones I'm truly ashamed of don't exist anywhere anymore LOL.

Story you cringe when you find out someone has read it? Forces of Nature, but luckily I don't think many have read it :)

Story you'd wish everyone would read already! I really don't like selling myself, I feel awkward doing so...but I'll go with Maybe Tomorrow, even though it's unfinished and I've not written on it for months, I'm quite liking the story.

Most impulsive story? When We Collide.  Although a lot of mine are impulsive.

This is a tough one because I generally don't read very many funny stories but I know from 5 BSB's some of the scenes that Mersey and Maria wrote were hilarious. I particularly loved the scene when Mersey had the axe murderer doing star jumps on the bed with the teeny bopper girls. And the sci fi chapter Maria wrote with her really funny villain.

Most recently in When I Grow Up, Tracy has a few cute scenes in there with a young Nick thrown into an old Nick type of situation like running in and telling the guys he isn't a virgin anymore looking over 30 LOL

I have a lot, but "what to expect when you're not expecting" by evergreenwrite r and writerbrat came to mind first. Four Santas too many Mare is still fresh in mind. These stories made me laugh out loud, not just smile, while reading.

Here is another question for you!

What is one thing/event in the boys actual lives that you would love to see someone write a story about?

I'd love one about their first tour back together. Like how the old school ones were only now with Kevin newly reunited to the group. I need some bromance!

What's your process for planning a story?  Do you know what will happen in the beginning, middle, and end of the story before you start writing it?  How about in each chapter?  Do you do any kind of outlining or just fly by the seat of your pants?  If you do outline, what does that look like for you?  Do you ever write scenes in advance or visualize them in your mind?  Do you change your mind often, or do you usually stick to your plans?  Does the way you plan vary from story to story?  Lots of questions, but they all go together - just describe your process!

LOL my mind is a scary place! Um, but it depends on the story. Like I didn't have an outline for each chapter in RMTW. I had a timeline with a general idea of when things would happen and I let the characters basically tell me how long it would take to get to each event LOL. But I knew the beginning, middle and end overall. Especially the end, I knew that since day one. But with WOOMD I outlined every single chapter. I don't write scenes in advance (except with collabs) because it'll screw up where I'm at in my head. But it varies from the story to story, how complicated it is, that sort of thing.

Craziest storyline?
"Grape Expectations" http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10891

The dumbest plot?
"Rehab" http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8691


The most unique?
00Carter - I just haven't seen anything like it in our fandom. http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9085

Weirdest name for a character?
"Calypso Rayne" aka "Cally". Which I did on purpose because I wanted to see if I could basically use romance cliches and make a decent story. http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8180

Biggest inaccuracy?
Pregnancy in "Rehab" lol. I did no research. http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8691

Stupidest Title?
"Rebirth" - short lived collab idea that I always hated the title.  http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=3418

Something you wish you could take back?
"Glitz and Glamour" - bad idea lol. I should've just left things alone. http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8487

Story you cringe when you find out someone has read it?
"Lost Souls" http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=43

Story you'd wish everyone would read already!
"Here We Stand", I feel like I've done a great job on the Boys in that one. It's not that a lot of people don't read it but yeah, I like my writing a lot in there. http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10965

Most impulsive story?
"Divine Intervention" - I jumped into it immediately after RMTW because I wanted to have another novel going. Maybe I should've held back a little cause it's had some serious delays lol. http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10649

I think that everyone, walls included, know that I would love, die, give my first born, light up candles and do weird dancing, to see (and read) someone writing a story about Brian's heart surgery period. Not only the surgery itself but how the guys dealt with it in the months before and after. Especially the after. Well, if it has Frick and Frack being the focus. lol Yes, I'm that desperate. lol

I'm gonna go with Cinzia on this one.  I can't think of any other real events I'd want to read a story about that haven't been written well already.  In most cases, I prefer completely fictional stories to stories that are based on true events.
