Questions to ponder part 11
RokofAges75:
I think the AJ/Howie thing stems from the fact that they knew each other before the group started. I do think they were good friends back in the day because of that, but I'm not sure now. Obviously they're still friends, but I don't see them doing stuff outside of work like Howie and Nick have been known to do. You would think Howie and Kevin would be a thing, since they were the two adults when the group started and have always seemed a lot more mature than the other three, but that's not a pairing I've seen explored much in stories.
I do think AJ and Kevin have a special connection that comes from the whole rehab thing and AJ crediting Kevin with saving his life by forcing the issue. Kinda like the story of Kevin giving Nick that book that he finally read years later and wrote about in his book.
I'm with you on the Brian and Howie thing though... which is weird, considering how similar they are, at least in terms of being so devoted to their families, religious, etc.

I don't think I have done any other conbo than the Brian/Nick one because I really enjoy writing group stories. Although I did explore some in one shots. That's something I'd like to tackle eventually because I have tried so many things already.

People probably shy away from writing Howie and Kevin because it seems like most people tend to have trouble writing those two in general. I love putting Kevin and Howie scenes in my stories because I do think they are pretty tight as well.
RokofAges75:
^ LOL That would be me. I am trying to branch out of my little Nick, Brian, and occasionally AJ bubble, but still, the thought of writing a story solely about Kevin and Howie and their friendship is not very appealing to me. I think they're more interesting when paired with one of the others.

Another question: Of the stories you've written, list how many are Group centric, Nick centric, Kevin centric, AJ centric so on and so forth. Not including one shots, only novels.
Have you ever made a conscience effort to try to write in one boy's point of view that you usually do not and how hard was that for you?
Do you find of those novels depending on the boy you center it around, is one more popular than the other reader wise?
