Questions to ponder part 11
Rose:
Yeah as writers I feel we're way more OCD about things lol.

I have come to notice that depending on the boy we enjoy the most, sometimes our view of how they get along with the others is different. For instance, I tend to notice how most Brian fans still think Nick and Brian are really tight and very Frick and Frack-ish while maybe Nick and Howie fans tend to think he and Howie are best buds. And of course those of us that love Kevin and Nick's relationship to each other. (Even though I am one of those people that think Nick and Howie are BFFs lol)So this leads me to my question.
When you write about the boys, how do you lump them in terms of friendship? Do you tend to think back to the cliched days when it was Frick and Frack, AJ and Howie and Kevin left all alone or do you see it as some other way? Are they all equal relationship wise or are some closer than others? Just curious what everyone's take is on this.

I used to think of them as Frick and Frack, AJ and Howie, and Kevin with a stick up his ass, wondering how he got stuck in the same group with them LOL. Nowadays, though, I don't think of them in terms of who's BFFs with whom. It seems like they are all good friends. That's not to say they're all necessarily equal relationship wise; Nick and Howie do seem especially tight these days, and Kevin has been hanging out with them a lot since coming back too.
As far as writing goes, I tend to focus on whichever relationships best serve my story. As a Brian girl, I love writing about Brian and Nick's friendship, but my current novel is a Nick/Howie one, and that's been fun for me too. I have an idea for a Kevin story down the road, and I would probably focus mainly on Kevin and Nick's friendship in that one.
I've always really liked Brian and AJ paired together too (not in a slashy way). They are like a yin and yang - they're such opposites, but they compliment each other so well. I've probably posted this before, but this video sums up Brian and AJ for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwfTuzEkNkQ The way they just bounce back and forth off each other is hilarious.

I said this earlier today in a review, but I will say it again now. I think every single fanfic writer needs to write at least one Nick and Kevin story in their lifetime. Just for me! LOL and they both have to live, they aren't mounting each other and no girl is involved. I'm picky and demanding!

LOL Yes ma'am!
