Questions to ponder part 11

<< < (99/132) > >>

Carter:
i dont think i have ever written a story that didnt include at least one of the other guys. I know Gone Country only has Brian and I think the mentions of Kevin but thats as far as it went i think.  But most of my other stories include the guys i dont think its a BSB story without at least one of them lol.

mare:
^ Yeah, that's been my argument forever. It has to have more than one of the BSB to really be considered a BSB fanfic. I feel that way about a girl centered story too although as long as there is enough of the guys in there, I have softened on that a bit. Still won't read them, but doesn't quite drive me as crazy as it used to. lol

mare:
Here's another question then:

What makes something a BSB story for you? Have you ever started to read a story and then find yourself saying "This is good but it's not really a BSB fanfic?" What does there need to be to qualify being called a BSB fanfic?

Carter:
I would say if it had three or more members it can be considered a "real" fanfic for me. Although if its an alternate universe i think its different cause they arent really "backstreet boys" if that makes sense lol. But if you are going to write about the boys three or more for me.

But what if it's not BSB fanfic but is, for example, Nick Carter or AJ McLean fanfic. Each one of the boys is a celebrity in his own right and being a Backstreet Boy is just one of many jobs. If they are just themselves, who happen to have the occupation of being a Backstreet Boy and it's not a group fic, then it's reasonable to think that although it's not BSB fanfic, it's still fanfic.
