The AC confessional

My confessions:
- When I start reading a fanfic, I check randomly some chapters to see if there will be some Brian's scenes, especially hurt/hospital scenes. If not, I won't probably read it. ;D
- Whenever I'm reading a fanfic of another fandom, I still picture Brian (and Nick if it's slash) as the main character.
- I used to write reactional fanfic after reading a fanfic, especially if I believed that the authout hadn't give much attention to something that I would have loved to read. Thisused to happen a lot with stories written in first person. lol
- I have a word document with a list of illness, disease, accidents or injury to use in stories. After seeing last Brian's picture, I might have added sleep-deprivation and insomnia. LOL
-I still don't get, and I doubt that I ever will, all the love for Nick. And not only fanfic related. lol

I found these very interesting! So you would write stories based on other stories you read to fill in the gaps with what the author left out that you wanted to read? I've never thought of doing that, but I wonder how many other people do.
I love your list of afflictions! LOL And I know, Brian did look really tired in that pic he tweeted!

Yes. lol Especially if the story was told in first person, I used to think about how it would have turned out from the other's pov. One that I've actually started writing (and that I still have it and not erased) was a reaction fiction after reading a terrible story where the MarySue of the story broke up with Brian and the guys, instead to comfort him, went and comfort the girl. :crazy: I was like "wtf?" so I started this story told from Brian's pov and, if I remember correctly, he ended up in hospital because of an appendicitis. :D :D
He did looked tired not only in that but also in the pictures Leighanne tweeted on the 4th of July. Add that he had admitted in London not to being able to sleep, my mind has gone mad and in full angst mode.

This is similar to one I had thought of posting. I do get the Nick love, but I was way late to that party! LOL Nick was my LEAST favorite when I first became a fan, and then slowly, he started to grow on me, but it wasn't until the Now or Never era in 2002 that I really got the Nick appeal. I think fanfic had something to do with that, too, not just real life. Nick looked really good in 2002, better than he ever had before (to me, anyway), and I loved Now or Never, but I also read some really good Nick fanfics around that same time that made me fall in love with the fictional version of him too LOL. Swollen Issues was one of them, I know. Then I kept reading Nick fics, and that was what helped me get through "The Dark Ages" (as I saw them called in Emily's story the other day), 2003-2004... when he went through his ghetto fab phase and then started dating Paris Hilton. I'm not sure my Nick love would have survived that otherwise LOL.

Omg, I hate when writers have the guys comfort or side with Mary Sue over the other guy! That would definitely go on my pet peeve list. In some cases it may be justified, but I hate when they all act like Mary Sue is the most amazing person in the world.
LOL That's so funny... the places our minds go when we're thinking of how best to torture the boys! My favorite kind of photo shoots are the ones where they're looking all serious and angsty, instead of smiling. I always think, "Hm, I could use that in a banner someday..."
