Fic Talk > General Discussion
Those were the days!
Carter-Orange:
I didn't discover fanfic until 2006, and I think I found this place in 2008. So I can't join in about old sites or stories. Wow what was I doing with my time before 2006? lol
balance:
Oh the memories! I remember Bria's site! There was this story there where Kevin ended up with custody of Nick and maybe Aaron after the rest of the Carters were killed in a tornado, I think. I remember crying my eyes out because Kevin dies....and now I can't remember the title. >:( And how could I forget Julie's site. I think I read my first, non-slash, fanfiction story there. Again, can't remember the title, but Nick follows Brian after he sneaks out one night and ends up kidnapped and beaten. Wow, I was really into depressing myself! :crazy:
KeepThisSecret:
OMG! I had to comment on this thread .... mostly because it's making me feel really old. LOL
I discovered fan fic in the early 2000s when I was just starting high school. I'm pretty sure that the first story I read was a Christmas story involving Brian which may or may not have been written by someone named Hannah. (I can't remember the plot to save my life at the moment).
I have seen the name Whitney being brought up by a lot of you and I can definitely remember reading some of her stuff. I'm pretty sure she wrote my favourite bus crash story (Again, I can't think of the name). ??? I know for sure that I read (and loved) "Boys in The Basement" by Eboni!
I never posted any of my own stories back in the early days. I pretty much just kept them to myself or shared them with my friends. The whole idea of approaching the creator of a site and asking to be hosted absolutely terrified me! LOL :-X I don't think that I ever sent any feedback either. I just kind of read and enjoyed everything in secrecy. Now, I realize that I should have sent those authors some positive comments. I'm sure that they would have liked to know that more people were out there reading and enjoying what they were writing.
I didn't actually get back into fan fic until recently though. I don't think I read any during the latter half of high school or throughout university.
mare:
Pammy, I know both the stories you are talking about. Izzy had a story very similar to the plot you mentioned with Nick following Brian, but I think Julie also had a story like that as well. I remember the one with Kevin adopting Aaron and Nick but I know I never finished it because I heard that Kevin dies and I hate when the guys die in fics. lol
I think that girl Bria also wrote a story where Nick was impaled by a pole? LMAO is that correct?
KeepThisSecret (We need your name because I hate referring to you as that lol) Where Do We Go From Here is that Whitney story and it's a classic! Still the best bus crash/singing Nick out of a coma story that exists! LOL
I remember how intimidated I was by having to ask people to be hosted! Especially when I was turned down by a few of them. The BSB attorneys didn't want someone they had never heard of on their site, for one. Luckily Izzy and Julie gave me a chance. Of course I had no idea that Julie was only in like middle school at the time lol
balance:
Wow.....BSB Attorneys really missed the boat with you, Mare. But, I fell in love with "Port in a Storm." That's as close as I will come to reading a romance! I don't think I read many courtroom dramas in the BSB fandom.
I even read "Brian's Winter" as a fan fiction story and then went back to read the novel. ::)
Another favorite site was Walking in the Clouds.
