I wonder what most people here consider themselves. Do you think overall AC had more fluffy or more dark?

I think AC had a good mix. I would say most of us who still post here are definitely on the dark side, but in the beginning AC had a lot more romance writers. Not that all romance is fluffy because obviously it can be dark and filled with drama too, but it doesn't tend to be as dark as other genres. There also used to be a lot of cutesy stories about BSB kids here.

Thanks! It's hard when I have to burst my fanfic bubble and then try to get back into it after school, even if the school day is shorter. I'm hoping the extra time I have to spend on the computer anyway in case the kids have questions (which they shouldn't because I made it so easy for them!) will help.

Our conversation in Tracy's update thread gave me another idea for a question.

I think fanfic is also what helped get through the hiatus between Black & Blue/Chapter 1 and Never Gone. Other than Nick's solo album, there wasn't much BSB stuff happening, but there were a lot of great fanfics being written.

Looking back on your own experience reading and writing fanfic, were you more active and involved when the Boys were also active, or did you tend to read and write more when there was nothing happening in the real world of BSB? Why do you think that is?

All fair points. I wonder why it's "team dark" that's stuck around more. Is it just the "harder to write romance about married dudes" issue? I don't think I could write about the kids... Too much.

I mean, if you have to be on the computer anyway, you may as well do something fun while you're waiting for them to have questions. ;)
