--- Quote from: Carter on July 31, 2014, 12:53:43 PM ---Here is a question. I dont know why I was thinking this, but I was feeding the chickens this morning and i was like wouldnt it be funny to put one of the guys completely out of their element. Like plop one of them some where, where you wouldnt think they would ever want to go. Like for example AJ...I couldnt see him be on a farm, but it would be quite amusing to see lol.

LOL!!! Funny you should mention that, because I figured, if I stick around long enough, and the fandom and muse doesn't wane from me again so soon, I'd be interested in writing a fic, basing it off their answers to the question "what would you be doing if you weren't a Backstreet Boy?" Not gonna lie, I totes envisioned AJ as a firefighter when he said that, and was laughing my ass off when Nick and Brian were impersonating how he'd be as a firefighter, lmao!!
I mean, I started an AU story of the guys being police officers that took in an orphaned Nick and has set to help him become a cop himself to help put away the guys who killed his family (inspired by the movie The Professional), but it's a challenge thinking of how I'd group a teacher, a fisher, a pilot, a firefighter, and whatever it was that Howie would be doing together, lol. It'd be interesting, but pulling it off would be the challenge.

It seemed like a good idea at the time, but it turns out I don't really enjoy writing about the Amish LOL. But maybe if it was something I was more familiar with myself, it would be more fun to write. Like, I don't know if you actually live on a farm or just have chickens, but because you do have them, you would be great at writing something like that you described!

OMG, I remember reading that story! And as much as I had no freaking clue about the amish, besides the obvious, the story still intrigued me enough to read it! Lol. But yeah, feel ya'll on the research, lol. For me personally, I feel like no matter how much research I do on a certain thing, I still couldn't do it justice unless I know or experience it first hand... not saying I'm gonna go get into an accident, or kidnapped, or stabbed or shot or something, lmao. But... ya'll know what I mean, does that make sense? LOL.
--- Quote from: Carter on July 31, 2014, 01:23:17 PM ---another question popped into my head lol. Have you ever thought of a plot that you thought was going to be fantastic and then thought it just wasn't a good idea in the end?

LMAO!!! All. The. Time. That was my biggest problem, since I'm not an organized writer, I'd start off with an idea, have ideas flying out of my ass and figure I'm going somewhere with this, but then my minds fucks me over and decides to think of something else to twist the plot. Case in point, my Last Christmas story. The idea was it be almost like a Bonnie and Clyde-esque story, but when I was left with these questions like why, how, what else would happen, my mind thought to twist it into something else that would build it more, and when I read through it again, the flow was just not there cause I could see where my mind had changed, lmao.
Now it's like I have these ideas, but I think *insert author's name* would be better at writing and executing it.
--- Quote from: RokofAges75 on July 31, 2014, 01:33:44 PM ---LOL I think everyone is like that. Or at least, I would assume so.
Do you write the kind of stories you prefer to read?
Is there a type of story you like to read, but don't write?
Have you ever written a story that you would probably never read?

Everyone knows my answer to my first question, lmao. I think there is that tendency for reasons people have stated; I'd want to write something that I'd enjoy reading, I'm so selfish, hahaha.
I think I've dabbled a bit into the kinds of stories I like to read, with the exception of maybe... sci-fi? I don't normally read sci-fi fics, but there were a few good ones I found that held my attention.
Not so much that I'd never read, but just read it over and thought "well... this was stupid!" lmao!!
mare:
AJ said he'd be a firefighter? I made him a firefighter! Yay me!! lol

Here's a question, how do you guys come up with your summaries? Is there a process? Like, do you normally take an excerpt from your story and have it be the summary or whatever? Summaries are quite tricky because it's like you want to be vague as to not give away your plot, but at the same time peak the interest of potential readers and grab their attention.

Ooooh my, you didn't see that soundcheck vid?! LMAO!! It was sooo hilarious, I kept watching it over; I'll find it and post it in here. When AJ said that, Brian was kinda in shock like really dude, and AJ, being AJ was like "yeah, when I was younger, but when I realized how dangerous it was that went right out the door!" which totally validates how AJ is slightly prissy, lmao!! Nick had then asked the audience if they could imagine AJ as a firefighter, and both he and Brian were impersonating how he'd be saving someone, lmfao, it was freaking hilarious!!
And yes, yayyy you!! Totally remember and loved that story; you wrote a hot AJ in that one, lmao!! Seriously one of my fave fics to read over and over! ^_^
