New questions to ponder
mare:
It does seem like slash is making a comeback. Funny how things always happen in cycles.
I've been fortunate to write the mainstream genre type stories. I've never really been into the less popular sub genres. If I was I'd probably go ahead and write them anyway but it would've also depended on my mental state at the time and why I was writing it in the first place.
FrickingKaos:
I have been writing a bit of everything but for some reason I always end up doing slash now. I also have that Sci fi story I'm still working on, and a romance... So amusing I can juggle all these genres at the same time. Been doing a bit of everything lately.

She writes Brian/Nick slash. I read one of her stories for the summer reading challenge one year, and even though I've never been into slash, I enjoyed it. She's the one who got me thinking maybe I should challenge myself and try to write one. Then Howie and Nick did this radio interview during IAWLT press where Howie talked about Nick's pubes: https://youtu.be/doq6lpBY6xk?t=9m55s That's when I got the idea for Unsuspecting Sunday and SAMS.

Oh, gotcha! That makes a lot of sense.
Also that whole interview is amaze. But LOL when the interviewer is like "Thousands of women are fixated on you..." and Nick just bursts out laughing. Thanks for sharing that!!
RokofAges75:
And then Nick goes "There's always one in every group..." and Howie's like, "I'm married!" So funny.

The only way to attract them to AC is to keep posting stories; otherwise, they won't even know there's any m-preg there. Having your stuff on that Most Recent page as much as possible can make a difference.
Does anyone else have a certain subgenre or type of story they really like to write, but feel other people don't like to read? I'm fortunate that medical dramas seem to do well in this fandom because people who don't enjoy reading that type of thing probably think it's weird to spend so much time making Backstreet Boys sick LOL.

Sci-fi LOL. I love that section of AU but either no one writes it or no one reads it. It hasn't stopped my love of it, but it's crazy the difference in if I write angst vs if I write sci-fi.
