However, Julie has kind of proved me wrong about that one because I'm loving Sick as My Secrets!! Although, the slash is more alluded to as opposed to outright described (which makes it more approachable for me).
I think if you get any of the guys characters wrong then I will stop reading. (That may sound harsh, but for me it's a huge no-no).

Thanks again!! :) Maybe what I just said about slash is why so many non-slash people are reading SAMS LOL. I didn't even give it the slash label because, technically, there is no romantic or sexual relationship in the actual story. If there was, I would have put the label on it, but I didn't want to scare off potential readers who are like me and don't want to read slash. The whole idea came about from a conversation on here last summer about slash that got me wondering if I could find a way to write it that would seem halfway believable, just to stretch myself as a writer. I'm glad I went there, and it's made me more likely to go there again in the future, with the right idea.
I'm with you on the characterizati on thing, too. The guys need to seem like themselves, or I don't see the point of calling it fanfic. Like Mare said about AUs, even if their circumstances are different, I still want them to have the same personalities and relationships with each other.

~ I know this is going to sound hilarious, but the boys being physically tortured. I know...I know...I like to write it but I am not a fan of reading it.

HYPOCRITE!!!
LOL Your list cracks me up. I still cringe every time I see the word "orbs" used in one of my old stories because of you! Not that I used it a lot, but there is definitely one occurrence in Broken that comes to mind. No Charmin bears, at least!

Which is probably the best way to handle slash. I do plan on reading this story. I might just wait until it's complete first. You know, to make sure no Charmin bears appear in it or anything! LOL
