How would you describe your writing style?
My writing style is descriptive and dramatic. I almost always write in past tense, usually in third person, though occasionally I will write in first. My style tends to differ depending on what point of view I'm writing in.
If you do use a female lead or any other lead besides the boys, do they tend to follow a pattern? Do you tend to use the same characters?
I tend to put a piece of myself into my female characters, but I try to use different pieces for different characters to make them different from each other. So while there may be some similarities between some characters, most of them are pretty different. I don't know that they follow any specific pattern.
What do you think are the biggest misconceptions in fanfic or maybe the specific genres you tend to write?
I think one misconception in fanfic in general, as well as in the genres I write, is that it's just a way for us to write out our ridiculous fantasies. Most of the stuff I write is far from a fantasy.
Use either the last story you worked on or the one you are currently working on to answer the following questions. The last story I worked on that is currently online is my BSB/Harry Potter crossover, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Backstreet Boy," so that's what I'll answer these questions about.
Have you updated it regularly? If not, why? LOL Not at all. I started writing this story during spring break 2012 and was on such a roll with it that I decided to start posting it that same week. Of course, as soon as break ended and I got busy with work again, I stopped writing it and lost my flow. I stopped posting it after the first three chapters, even though I had more written, and decided to wait until I got on a roll with it again to keep posting. I haven't updated it or written regularly on it since.
Is it something you normally write or is/was it out of your comfort zone? Completely out of my comfort zone. I am a huge Harry Potter fan, but I don't usually write fantasy, I've never written a true crossover (that wasn't just a spoof) before, so those elements make it something very different for me.
What made you decided to write it? I love Harry Potter, but never got into Harry Potter fanfic. I did, however, attempt to write a Harry Potter/BSB crossover about ten years ago. I didn't get very far on it (maybe 2 chapters?) and don't really remember what the plot was going to be, but the basic premise of a HP/BSB crossover stuck with me. Somehow this idea for one came together, and it was a lot better than the original idea could have been, so I decided to give it a shot.
How were the reviews? Did you get a lot of feedback? The first three chapters that I posted back in 2012 got a few reviews, and people seemed interested. I also posted it on fanfiction.net and have gotten a few reviews there.
Do you plan on completing it? Yes. I actually finished Chapter 8 a couple of weeks ago and figure I'm about a quarter of the way through it. I have a pretty solid outline for the rest, so now it's just a matter of actually writing it.
Are there plans for a sequel or was it a sequel? In a way, this is sort of a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but I don't plan to write any subsequent stories.
Overall were you/are you happy with the result? I do really like this story so far, and I love the ideas I have for it. I just need to be in the right mindset to continue writing it.
