Questions to ponder part 11
RokofAges75:
I read mostly Brian and group stories back in the day, but nowadays I read a lot more Nick stories. Like I said earlier, there are more to choose from, which helps. There were also a lot of Frick & Frack stories back in the day that I read for Brian, but it got me used to reading about Nick. I think it was reading Swollen Issues during the Now or Never era that made me start seeking out Nick stories; that was when he really started to grow on me, and that's when I started writing more Nick stories too.

Awwwww thanks so much! I'm actually really enjoying writing Dodging the Daylight. Even the Howie chapters haven't been too painful for me. Although, they are still a struggle.
It's funny that you mentioned that dead Nick would draw you in. From what I've heard after posting the fist chapter of Dodging the Daylight, killing Nick is usually of a no-no if you want most people to keep reading your story. LOL
I agree that I would read a well-written medical drama about any of them. However, medical dramas tend to touch on the relationships between all of the guys (which I love). Pretty much if there is bromance in your story, I will read it. Hahaha!

This is the case with Mare and Julie's most recent stories. If the writing is amazing then I will most likely continue with the story because I will be engaged with the characters.
At first, I would only read Brian or group fics. Now, I will read pairing stories if they are well done. I will also read a Nick only fic now. I'm starting to enjoy Nick now that he's older and there seems to be more being done with his character.

Aww thank you! I agree with what Julie said about Dodging as well.
I forgot to say that in my last post! The writing has to be pretty stellar for me to stay interested no matter what I'm reading. Even if it is a bromance/suspense. If it's not well written I won't last past the first chapter. LOL
and on another note, Tracy just made me realize that Julie and I both have the word secret in our titles. I never realized that! LOL
RokofAges75:
LOL Dead Nick sucked me right in! I love the drama, and reading about the guys' reactions to that was what I was looking forward to. That's interesting that you say that, though. What are some other things you guys see as immediate turn-offs or big no-nos if you want to keep an audience? (Besides writing a Brian/Howie or Kevin/Howie story, apparently LOL.)

Killing any of them has always been a no no for me which goes to show how well written your story is, because I wouldn't have even bothered staying past chapter one if you didn't do such a great job sucking me in.
