So it's been really quiet around here lately, and judging from Mare's fanfic questions not that long ago, the slowness is probably due to a lack of reading/writing from the regulars on this board.
So I'm wondering what we can do to get that going again. I want to hear what everyone is writing right now. This is simply a discussion to get people talking about actual fanfiction again around here...
1. Is there a story that you're writing that you're particularly excited about? Tell us all about it.
2. Is there a story that you're STUCK on right now? Tell us all about it.
3. Is there a story you're reading right now? Tell us all about it.
4. Is there a story that you wish you were reading but they haven't updated in forever? Tell us all about it.
The more you talk in this thread, the more others will want to join in and the more we might actually get a decent fan fic discussion going. Hey... you might even get a new reader or a good idea or two...
-
I am writing nothing! I will answer your questions in a bit. I am idea city on Casual, literally scenes and dialouge in my brain...but no time or motivation to sit down and get the fingers moving on it. I am off for the next two weeks, I am hoping to squeek something out!!!

1. Is there a story that you're writing that you're particularly excited about? Tell us all about it.
I'm excited about the collab challenge I'm doing with ajsbaby (Julie), hopefully it will come out good! Also another story I'm doing called 'Ten Things', it seems to be going well.
2. Is there a story that you're STUCK on right now? Tell us all about it.
I'm stuck on 'Rewind', I'm just totally clueless as to where I go next.
3. Is there a story you're reading right now? Tell us all about it.
I'm reading a few, but really loving 'Song For The Undead'
4. Is there a story that you wish you were reading but they haven't updated in forever? Tell us all about it.
There are a few, one of them is 'My Mind's Eye'

Hey all...I guess I haven't missed much, since I've been without net.
1. Is there a story that you're writing that you're particularly excited about? Tell us all about it.
At the time I'm working on "Bound By Honor" It just came to me one day. It's a POV of a woman named Sophia who has the boys as her adopted siblings. It talks about how close they all are, and issues that come with being part of a big family. Her big issue is that she's confused about her own life and is scared to come clean to her father about being in love with Alex.
2. Is there a story that you're STUCK on right now? Tell us all about it.
I'm pretty much stuck on all my other stories...and they are only about one or two chapters away from being finished. Ugh. I suck with endings.
3. Is there a story you're reading right now? Tell us all about it.
I just started reading Sapphire's new story and I have many others I should read. I just don't get the time.
4. Is there a story that you wish you were reading but they haven't updated in forever? Tell us all about it.
Yes, definately "On NIghtingale Hill"

1. Is there a story that you're writing that you're particularly excited about? Tell us all about it.
I have a new story idea i'm toying with, but again, I odn't see myself working on it, sadly *sigh*
2. Is there a story that you're STUCK on right now? Tell us all about it.
I want to write my second chapter of A Day in the Life of a Lima Bean, but can't get it going.
3. Is there a story you're reading right now? Tell us all about it.
Sadly, I have lost all interest in reading fanfic. :( Hopefully that will change if something interesting pops up.
4. Is there a story that you wish you were reading but they haven't updated in forever? Tell us all about it. Not really, I guess the only one I look for updates on is Inner Hell but I haven't even hd the time to check to see if it's been updated.
-
Good idea for a thread, Kelly! I agree, we gotta get talking some more on this board! (Though it probably is partly just the time of year, too.)
1. Is there a story that you're writing that you're particularly excited about? Tell us all about it.
I'm mainly working on collaborations right now, "Song for the Undead" with Rose and "00Carter" with several awesome ladies. "Undead" is the latest; it's an AU in which the guys (Bsb) are among the sole survivors of a zombie apocalypse. It's been a fun challenge for me to write, since I don't usually write a lot of action or horror (even though I love to read/watch horror), and I'm really happy with how it's turning out!
2. Is there a story that you're STUCK on right now? Tell us all about it.
Like Darby with "Casual," I'm not exactly STUCK on anything... I have plenty of ideas, just not the right combination of inspiration, motivation, and time. My latest side project is my story "Secrets of the Heart," which I have outlined better than I've ever outlined a story before, literally planned out chapter by chapter, and can't ever seem to update! It's not like I don't know what to write next; I just struggle to get chapters started and then finished. I like the story so far, and I wish I could be more consistent about writing on it and updating it, but I really struggle to get in the right mood to write it and write it well.
3. Is there a story you're reading right now? Tell us all about it.
"Right now" is a stretch because this story hasn't been updated in a few months LOL, but the most recent addition to my Favorites list on AC is "Brian Potter and the Malevolent Musician" by Erin (ForeverFrick). It's like a cross between Backstreet Boys and Harry Potter, which are like my two favorite things, so I was intrigued and had to check it out. It only has a couple of chapters so far, but I'm loving it. It's a cute spoof, quite clever and well done. I hope Erin updates it again soon! :)
4. Is there a story that you wish you were reading but they haven't updated in forever? Tell us all about it.
I'm gonna second Erika in saying "On Nightingale Hill" - one of the few fantasy fanfics I can honestly say I really enjoy. Also "How to Save a Life," "Fan Friction," and "Hawk and a Handsaw" - three great suspense/mysteries (a.k.a. the very worst kind of stories to leave me hanging on! :P)

1. Is there a story that you're writing that you're particularly excited about? Tell us all about it.
I'd have to say I am actually excited about Consequences of Your Mistakes, even though only one chapter has made it up thus far. I'm playing around with it right now bc I had too many ideas trying to see what I can work in and stuff. Also got hit by another idea the other night so its in its prewritten stages at the moment.
2. Is there a story that you're STUCK on right now? Tell us all about it. I don't wanna say stuck, we'll say SLOW bc my muse is partying instead of doing the work. Seems to think the best time to strike me ideas is when I take a nap, and i havent had time for one in weeks so darn muse is off partying, what can I say?
3. Is there a story you're reading right now? Tell us all about it.
Nothing in particular, i kindda just eye what's recently posted or story of the moment. Though most times I catch Riding The Waves by AJBrianFan when its updated. So I guess techinically I am reading something hahha.
4. Is there a story that you wish you were reading but they haven't updated in forever? Tell us all about it. Um..nope not at the moment :-)

Hi everyone! I've been away a long time, but I'll try to pop in a bit more from now on!
1. Is there a story that you're writing that you're particularly excited about? Tell us all about it.
"Fireflies". It's about Nick and the other guys. While they're out in a cabin writing songs, Nick experiences strange things he can't explain. Is something wrong with him or are there things in this world we know nothing about yet?
2. Is there a story that you're STUCK on right now? Tell us all about it.
Sadly, that's also "Fireflies". I'm not sure what to do with the next chapter..
3. Is there a story you're reading right now? Tell us all about it.
Nope.. I want to start again though.. If anyone has a story they are writing or reading and think is awesome, let me know!
4. Is there a story that you wish you were reading but they haven't updated in forever? Tell us all about it.
I'm not sure it hasn't been updated cause I've been away so long, but I know I love "Satan's playground".
-
Welcome back, Nijntje! Glad to see you posting again!
-
ooh yes. Satan's playground is good. I'd love to see an update of that.
-
I'm with Mare on the lost interest in reading fan fiction :( as for writing, I too have kinda lost motivation.... Fatigue has been a constant thing with me lately (my body really sucks) so I spend most of my spare time resting after work & on the weekends.
Mare, you mentioned Inner Hell and I think the last time I updated that was back in November - holy crap :o I hate seeing things left hanging so I am hoping to be able to finish the stories I have started on Absolute Chaos. I don't like to rush stories just to finish them.

I've just read and added that story to my favourites, can't wait for more :)
-
Exactly what I have been looking for! ;D
1. Is there a story that you're writing that you're particularly excited about? Tell us all about it.
Yes! For now it's called Ice Cold Blood, but it might change later. Anyway, it's a fantasy/vampire fanfic. No, not about Twilight. It's not like some random girl moves to a new school/town and meets this drop dead gorgeous guy which just HAPPENS to be one of the Backstreet Boys. Nah, I stopped copying movies/books/series (I used to quite do this in my early days of writing hehe). It's about a girl who's pretty sarcastic and can be quite pessimistic. She can also be rebellious at times, if she wants to. She has an older brother who's permanently paralysed because of an accident. And she has a best friend who is a huge fan of, now you get it, the Backstreet Boys. But the main girl hates them... for a reason nobody knows. But her brother and her best friend are the ones who will find out later.
Ahh.. I'm so excited, I want to tell lots more but I'm afraid I will spoil stuff! I just think this idea is pretty good and I don't think anyone else has written about it before. :) At least, I hope so! :D
2. Is there a story that you're STUCK on right now? Tell us all about it.
Two stories, in fact. The one that is on AC "Don't Wanna Lose You Now". I can't come up with ANYTHING and I have no idea if the story will be any more exciting or fun for people to read. I love to write drama, but I have the feeling this kind of drama is maybe a bit too much for me to handle. Like, I can't find my way into it.
The second is the new one I'm writing on now, Ice Cold Blood. I've posted a topic in here, in General Discussion, where I asked for some help. Anyway, I haven't finished chapter one yet, and I don't know how to continue already! All those scenes and ideas of what could happen in the story is haunting me and my fingers are itching to write them down. So, is it good to write the scenes down in a separate document? I think that's a good idea so I can empty my mind and focus on the point I am in the story now. But the thing is, it's hard to write it down since I'm not fluent in English and I sometimes don't know what words to pick. Then I try to think of the Dutch word I'd choose, but even then it's hard, ha!
3. Is there a story you're reading right now? Tell us all about it.
Yep, a few: 1. Ten Things by Carter-Orange. I love this story. Although I always forget to review it. :-X I forget to review in general, I should work on that.
Anyway, I love the situation between the girl and AJ and how they fight one moment and kiss the other. I love the personality of the girl and I can't wait to see how their marriage councelations (gah, I hope I spelled that correctly) turn out and how their relationship turns out in general. Oh, and I can't wait for the moments where she can strike the other things on her list. :)
2. Song for the Undead. It even has its own website! (Yes, I am always reading the story on dreamers-sanctuary.com hehe :)) Like I said in a review, I can play the story in my head like a movie. I can imagine every little thing. By the way, I bought a zombie movie just because it was on the list of things that inspired that story haha! I forgot the name but it was about a bunch of boys and girls who are filming an amateur horror movie. And the whole movie is from the point of the camera. I hated the open end though.
Oh, I'm getting off track. Anyway, I love this story so much. Definitely gonna be one of my favourites! By the way, I have to mention that I love the fact how each person has a unique personality! (I think Nick and Riley are cute together lol)
3. 00Carter. I have read maybe 3 or 5 chapters. I need to continue reading this story very soon because it has been a few weeks since I read this for the last time. But I already love it and it seems hilarious but above all, very promising! Also this story has its own website! I still crack up about the section where you read about the characters and it's like you broke in their system lol. When this message appeared that they got me and stuff, I was looking like " :o" first but then cracked up. That was brilliant! :-\ Oh and I love the introduction vid hehe.
Anyway, I can't say much about this story yet, except for the fact that I love LancyBassy!
I forgot one! 4. Ink Stains by McKelly. Ah geez, I haven't checked this story for a while. There you have it. If I read too many stories I start to forget others, or I confused two stories with eachother hehe. I hope one of the other stories finishes soon, so I can catch up on this one!
And as I was scrolling through my favorite stories' list, I also saw these two stories: True Love by SweetHeart and Last Christmas by rebellious_one . I have some stories in my favorites list in Internet Explorer and I saw True Love inbetween. When I read the title, nothing came up. So, as I read the first few chapters, I remembered what it was about again! Will have to keep this in mind though because I'm getting often emails about this story being updated. :)
As for Last Christmas, I don't think I've read the last updated chapter. AHHH! There are too many good stories!
Anyways, I will keep that story in mind too. ;)
There are still some other stories that I used to read, but I paused otherwise it's becoming WAY too much hehe.
4. Is there a story that you wish you were reading but they haven't updated in forever? Tell us all about it.
Satan's Playground by rebellious_one is the first one that jumps into my mind! This story is one of the first BSB fanfics I read. I was so into it and when I noticed the date it had been updated last, I yelled "WHAT?!". Should be continued, definitely! It's an exciting story!
And second, Life According To Baylee. That story, and Song for the Undead, had got me thinking about it for days! I was always wondering how it would continue. I HAVE to admit that when I saw the summary of the story, that I wasn't much interested. But, as many people talked about it, curiosity got the best of me and I read the first chapter... then I read the second, third, fourth, fifth.. AND I COULDN'T STOP! Gah, it's such a pity it hasn't been updated in forever, meh. :( Also, I could play this story in my head as if it's a movie.
Oh, there is also this other story. I think it's called In the Nick of Time but not sure if it's posted on AC? It's about when Nick gets into an accident and acts like a little boy but later he has moments where he acts his old mature self and other times he acts like the little kid again. And the guys have to help to get him to be his own self forever again. I don't know if it's still updated or not, but I haven't noticed anything. Or I'm just a blind chicken. Hmmm, I should check if the story is updated again or not. I am still willing to read it if it will be updated though!
-
:o I don't think Life According To Baylee applies to my post above anymore. Just got an email about an update! 8-) Such a coincidence. :bateyes:

Wow, thank you so much!! We so appreciate our AC reviews, but we don't get any feedback outside of AC, so I didn't know people even read the stories on my site off of AC these days. Good to know! :) I love AC, but I had fun putting together those websites too LOL. Anyway, thanks so much for all your comments; seeing this post totally made my night!! :)
And "Diary of the Dead"! That's the movie you bought, right? That's awesome! I thought it was cool movie, better than I thought it would be. The zombie clown was my favorite! LMAO

Wow, thank you SO much! I love hearing feedback on anything I write (or in this case, help write). It's so encouraging to know that people enjoy what we put out there. Especially with 00Carter, cause we wonder sometimes if we're the only ones who find ourselves funny LOL. So seriously, thank you. This post totally made me grin.

1. Is there a story that you're writing that you're particularly excited about? Tell us all about it.
Song For The Undead, I'm writing it with Julie, who's already mentioned it. It's just so fun writing about the undead and all that follows LOL. And 00Carter, my other collab love, cause really, how do you not love writing about BSB as secret agents? There's a 3rd story on this list, but it's gonna be awhile before I put it out there. It's as of now simply an idea I've outlined and researched, but as soon as something is finished, it's going out there. I may start writing it soon, but not post it. I'm pretty excited about that.
2. Is there a story that you're STUCK on right now? Tell us all about it.
Any of my posted solo stories? I've hit a funk lol. I seriously think it's a lack of time between the collabs, school and work. So maybe it's not so much stuck as lacking motivation.
3. Is there a story you're reading right now? Tell us all about it.
There's a few, but none of them have been updated in awhile. :(
4. Is there a story that you wish you were reading but they haven't updated in forever? Tell us all about it
Fan Friction! You hear this Kelly! Supernatural horror, fanfic deaths happening for real...it's awesome, but ya know someone...*pokes* hasn't updated in forever. Or Yesterday's Blue Skies. That was one of my fave sci fis ever in fanfic and I don't think it'll ever be updated. :(
-
Aww thanks so much to everyone who mentioned my story Ten Things, I'm really enjoying writing it :)
And the 007 Carter story is one that I've been meaning to check out and haven't got around to yet, but I will.

Yes! The movie is called Diary of the Dead! I didn't even doubt buying it when I saw it in the shelves. I loved the zombie clown too! :-\
I just have to see the movies and stuff that inspired this great story. :) Besides, I love horror and especially zombie movies hehe. *devil horns* By the way, have you seen REC. ?? That's one of the scariest zombie movies I've ever seen. :hidesface:
And you're welcome, also to Rose and Carter-Orange. :)

I just looked up REC (I wasn't sure if that was the real title or an abbreviation of one of the Resident Evil movies LOL - hadn't heard of it!) and found the IMDB page for it. The synopsis made it sound like a movie that was released here in the states a year or two ago called Quaratine - turns out, Quarantine is a remake of this and apparently not as good. I thought Quarantine was pretty cool, so I'll have to see if I can hands on a copy sometime.
I'm still a big fan of the original Night of the Living Dead - somehow, the simplicity of it and the black and white makes it a lot creepier than the modern fast-zombie movies. Also the zombie comedies - Shaun of the Dead is a good one, and I just saw Zombieland, which was awesome too. I still need to see the original Dawn of the Dead... I finally added it to my Blockbuster queue. I saw the remake, and that was okay, but I bet the original is better. Slow zombies trump fast zombies!
And sorry guys, I think we're hijacking this thread... we need to start a zombie appreciation thread or something LOL.

1. Is there a story that you're writing that you're particularly excited about? Tell us all about it.
I am writing nothing right now. I am going to attempt to finish Best of Both Worlds one of these days.
2. Is there a story that you're STUCK on right now? Tell us all about it.
Um, all of them? LOL I was writing Best of Both Worlds and then I just kind of stopped and had zero motivation.
3. Is there a story you're reading right now? Tell us all about it.
I haven't read anything new in forever either. I wish I had motivation to do that too!
4. Is there a story that you wish you were reading but they haven't updated in forever? Tell us all about it.
I was reading Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon and Casual. I think everyone on here knows about these ones since they have both been featured but I love them and think everyone should read them.
I de-hijacked the thread...wooho o?
