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.)
Oh I have such a long list of no-nos lol
~ One or more of the boys dying will detract me from a story even if I'm in the middle of it.
~ 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.
~When the guys are written too out of character
~The presence of the Carter family for an extended amount of time.
~A nice Leighanne
~ A female centered story
~ vampires
~ zombies
~ NKOTB or NSync as central characters unless they die a horrible death within the first chapter! lol
~ If I see a story has ten sequels already lol
~ huge banners! with movie stars as the female 'lead'
~ song based fics
~ I freaking hate those Charmin bears too! So keep them the hell out of these stories!
~ orbs!
lol I'm sure there are more!
