I really hate writing any of them honestly and really do avoid it when I can but as far as easiest, I'd have to go with Leighanne. She's been around the longest and because she doesn't really stay out of the limelight and forces herself on us unlike the other one's do, it's easy to pick up on her personality traits. As much as I actually like the other four, I don't really know all that much about them. I'm not sure if I've even heard Leigh speak. Up until this whole I Heart Nick promo, I could say the same about Lauren.
When writing actual couple interaction which I ABHOR! I would go for Kevin and Kristin over all the others.

I'm actually enjoying writing about Nick and Lauren in my current story. Not that Lauren is a main character or anything, but she's been in it more than I've ever written about her before. I really like her, and I think they're easy to write because they've been so open and out there with their relationship the last couple of years. Between the Kitt Fit videos and the promos for their reality show, we've seen them in action with each other, which helps give a feel for how they work as a couple.
I think Brian and Leighanne are also easy to write about (but hard to resist making fun of LOL) because they've been together so long, and Leighanne has always been very involved with the fandom. More fans have actually met and held conversations with her than any of the other Backstreet wives, which makes it easier to write her as a character.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, I find Leigh and Kristin harder to write because I don't know much about them. Leigh's been in my current story a lot, but I'm really just making her character up because I have no idea what she's like in real life.
Rochelle is somewhere in the middle. I really like her and enjoyed writing about her in the one chapter of Curtain Call she was in, which may be the only time I've really written about her. I feel like I actually have a better sense of who she is than how she and AJ are together as a couple, which is weird. I think it's because she was so active on Twitter for awhile, but they don't interact on there like Brian and Leighanne and even Nick and Lauren, to an extent, do.
As far as the Boys' families go, I think the Carter clan is by far the easiest to write because we've seen the most of them, through House of Carters and their shenanigans on the internet, and you can go as over the top as you want with them without it seeming unrealistic. I don't know as much about the other Boys' families. Aside from the Carters, I've written the most about Brian's family.

I was seriously cracking up with whoever had said Rochelle is basically AJ with boobs, LMAO!!!
I've noticed a lot of people convey in their writing this love/hate relationship with Leighanne, and as weird as this may sound, I seriously enjoy reading it! Lol. When she is written in, it's like her character influx brings something different to angst and she can either make or break your heart, lol.
As everyone pointed out with not really knowing the other wives, my notion is that they fit right alongside their significant other... well, maybe with the exception of Leighanne and Brian, but it seems as if she's rubbed off on him from time to time, lol. I picture Kristin being this motherly figure who's so genuine and just pure and true. I picture Leigh being a sweet woman with a good head on her shoulders and extremely smart and analytical. Leighanne being... Leighanne, you can love her or hate her, but she's there, lol. Rochelle being loving and generous (I mean, she is married to AJ, lol) but at the same time aware and seemingly firmly planted to the ground. And Lauren, the caring and independent person she is who is misunderstood and misinterpreted; she seems like if she could, she'd want to give people a chance to just know her as Lauren Kitt rather than Nick Carter's better half, but at the same time knows she doesn't have to prove herself to anyone. It's really sad those select crazy Carter fans had to hate on her; the show looks absolutely adorable and I find myself rooting for Lauren like yeah, show those bitches what's up! Lol.

The only one i have really written is Lauren, and Leighanne made a cameo in one story, but I try not to even include their wives in my stories. I like mine to be about the boys.

I'm the one who said Rochelle is AJ with boobs because that's who she is LOL They seem very similar to me but like Julie said, you hardly ever really see them interacting with one another. She seems to always be with that Madonna Mark guy, but not in a sexual way. You can tell they're just friends, but still I get a better sense of their relationship than hers and AJ's.
This story I'm writing now is the first time I'm really writing about Kevin and his family. I really don't know much about his brothers so writing scenes with Tim and Jerald have been a bit hard. I am kind of making it up as I go along. in my mind I have an idea of what they might be like and picture Jerald being a lot like how Kevin is now and Tim being close to how Brian is. I've also had to write a fair share of momma and poppa D which was also a kind of guessing match. I don't know how close to real life I got them either.
I seriously don't think I've ever written the carter clan. Oh, well in Lurks I did with Jane and Bob, but I didn't make them really Jane and Bob but I don't know if I've ever written the kids.
