Ugh... Great minds thinking alike in the fan fic world

Some people just are completely different writers and have completely different styles and I've come to learn that you can't change a person and MAKE them write how you want the story to go. If I'm getting sick of the direction a story is heading in so much so that it upsets me to that extent, the best thing is to stop reading and shut up and stop complaining.

But that's what I think makes fanfic so fun. It's because everyone writes differently and we all get to enjoy everyone's differing opinions and world views. :)

LOL a perfect example of this is Me and Mare. I respect the hell out of her writing and am always thinking I need to read her stuff cause I would probably really like it, but then I read the summaries and I'm like.... mmmm.... there are others that sound more interesting to me. She's the same way with me I think. (or at least I hope lol) I think she'd be back in the suicide thread if she had to read some of my stuff. But that doesn't mean what I write is bad, just not her thing.

So...once again, I'm late in joining this thread, but, first off, I'm really curious as to which story this is, Mel, that seems to be so similar to ALTOS...don't worry, you don't have to say it LOL
Secondly, I think as a fellow romance author, I have had lots of difficulties lately coming up with different, unique plots that aren't your usual run-of-the-mill ones. And it's HARD. I think there's bound to be, like Mare said, lots of similarities because there's only so much you can do in the fanfic romance genre. The most creative I've ever been was with the story that Kelly and I are writing with Brian as Backstreet Boy by day and superhero by night lol Still, it IS difficult to come up with new and different plot twists to the same old tired romances about Boy and some girl.
That being said, I'm IN LOVE with angst because that's all I ever seem to write LOL I can't help it, I can't get away from it, and I totally understood where both Mel and Julie are coming from with UMS/ALTOS and Broken/BMS. Dude, I live and thrive off of angst because I don't even know HOW to write fluffy lol Every time I try, it turns out all sorts of angsty in the end lmao
Anyway...now I have no idea where I was going with this...
Oh yeah! Endings: I totally agree with Dee in giving a story the ending it deserves. Of course, I'm also totally in love with happy endings so it's super doubtful that any story I write will not end with sunshine and bunnies...so I guess I don't really follow my own logic, but yeah...
Okay, I'll shut up now.
