Rose and I were chatting about this just now and thought we'd throw it out there for all the writers on the board to answer.
What's your fanfic trademark or niche? That is, what's the one thing you always seem to write about, the thing readers are likely to find in most of your stories? Why do you choose to write about that? Where does the inspiration or infatuation come from?
Just thought this would be an interesting topic. :)
-
I love this topic. :)
I know when I was younger, I used to always write about twins, or in some cases, triplets. You can see it in some of my early stories in fanfic too even. But most of that was in my prefanfic days. I'm not sure why either. My mom says I had an imaginary twin when I was little, instead of an imaginary friend. So it'd been like that for awhile. She'd joke I was a twin in a past life. Even now you see me sometimes put them in there even as a small thing, like in RMTW, AJ has twin daughters. But I really don't do the twin thing anymore.
As for what I always tend to write about, or have in fics now... I dunno. I used to have an answer to that, but lately I don't. Character wise, I know in "my" Nick, he always sings either to have fun (we're talking about outside professional performing) or when he's upset/nervous.
I think we should also say what we feel other's author's niches are in fanfic too. I'd like to know that. :)
Like with Julie, I think you know we all feel you're one of the best with anything medical. :)
-
Thanks :)
Definitely mine is the medical stuff LOL. You will find at least a little of that in almost all of my stories, even if that's not the main plot. I don't know exactly why, except that I've just always been interested in medical stuff and enjoyed stories that involve that.
Even when I was very little, one of my favorite picture books was "Curious George Goes to the Hospital" LOL. I watched Rescue 911 all through elementary school, and then I started watching ER from the beginning, when I was in 4th grade and it was a treat just to be allowed to stay up late enough to watch it on Thursday nights, and that was my favorite show for the 15 years it was on. I grew up with ER! I read all of Lurlene McDaniel's books in middle school, all the sappy young adult novels about kids with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses, and she was my favorite writer for a long time. She has had a lot of influence on me as a writer, for sure. I always loved learning about the human body and dissecting stuff in science. Even now, I still give all the new medical shows a try, although I haven't found one worthy of ER's replacement yet (though the new documentary show Boston Med is awesome!).
I think if I hadn't come from a long line of teachers (my mom is one, my grandma is a retired teacher, her mom was a teacher, and so on), I probably would have gone to medical school or done something in the healthcare field. I was torn between medicine and education up until the time came to choose a major when I was filling out college applications, and I chose the one that pays a lot less - go me LOL. So I think writing about the medical stuff in my stories is a way to satisfy that fascination for me, and it's been a fun challenge for me to try and do it better and better in my stories, as far as researching and making it as realistic as I can without actually experiencing it.

Twins are fascinating. :) There's just something interesting about them, especially when you go with all the twin mythology that's not really true, but interesting nonetheless LOL. Like the psychic connection and all of that. There was a made-for-TV remake of "Escape to Witch Mountain" that I remember watching as a kid, and the kids were twins in that version and along with being telepathic and all of that, they made purple light whenever their hands touched. It was a cool twin movie LOL.
Brooke and Bonnie in Undead were also your idea LOL.
Maybe you have a parasitic twin inside you! Like that movie Unborn (which I haven't seen, but isn't that the premise?). Maybe that's really your muse, instead of a psychic penguin named Bob (who also happens to be a twin LOL).

LMAO were they really? I forgot. Okay see, maybe I do still do it lmao. But at least they're never the main premise anymore. Used to be they were haha. I remember the made for TV version. I loved that movie! I wish it was on dvd somewhere.
LMFAO maybe, though siamese twins were never my thing. I never saw that movie either actually LOL.
-
I tend to write the lead character as an underdog turned hero - or, in fan fiction's case, Nick. In my stories, Nick is always the underdog, the one no one expects to win... for example, the entire premise of Saving the Day for Blondes is that the other Boys don't believe in Nick, but he ends up being the one they all rely on. I guess it's Cinderella-syndrome! Even in The Time Watcher, Nick is a hero only because he is forced into it by "what he is" - making him a reluctant hero. There's a major part of the plot coming up soon that will test Nick's motives and goals with the ability he's been given. Nick is always pushed to the limits and forced to discover that he can be the hero, despite everyone else's reluctance to believe in him.
I also tend to make AJ be the very sexually-focused character. If anyone's gonna make a sex joke, it's gonna be AJ! And the others will only make similar jokes when it is purposely done in an out-of-character way.
I have issues writing 3-dimensional girls, too, for some reason. So most of my stories tend to focus on the relationships between the guys themselves - friendships being tested, tried, and found to be made of steel.
-
Good topic ladies. I don't think we've actually ever dicussed this before.
I guess my thing is family dynamics, more specifically siblings. Growing up I always wanted a big brother more than anything in the world. I guess a younger brother would have been good too but I didn't actually have any male role models of any kind growing up so it's something i've always longed for. I notice I usually kill one or both of the parents when I write things lol my sister pointed that out to me. Probably because of the way I was brought up. So, I tend to center things around the siblings and since I feel more confident writing boys, it's usually brothers. I hate the sterotypical big brother little sister thing so you will NEVER see me do that! Even though I want to be that sterotypical in real life! lmao
That's probably why I latched on to the boys personalities. Normally when I love a group I don't really care much about them as people lol I know that sounds terrible. You know what I mean though? I know basics but that's usually about it but because of their dynamic in interviews, their age differences and how they clearly acted like brothers, I was kind of drawn in.
I tend to only watch shows that have some kind of family (brothers in particular) dynamic included as well. Minus the reality shows of course.
It's the element I feel most comfortable writing in. Well that and erotic Brian porn LOL!
-
Well I'd say I definitely tend to steer towards the angsty category. I like to write a good tearjerker every now and then. I also tend to use medical situations (like Grace having cancer in the Nick and Grace series) and Jess being a pediatric nurse in 525,600 Minutes, oh and the transplant situation in Someone's Miracle... so yeah... there's a lot of that ;)
Don't really know why, I too was always fascinated by that type of thing/situation when I was younger (and still) I love medical shows and honestly, if I could stomach the gore, I would have loved to have been a nurse or a doctor myself. Instead I just write about it.
-
I don't think it's the gore that would bother me; I couldn't handle the emotional aspect of it. Giving people bad news, dealing with families who are upset, watching people die and then having to tell their families. And of course I'm imagining ER; there are lots of doctors who have private practices and probably don't have to mess with that stuff very often, but you'd still have to do it for a rotation in med school, and I don't think I could handle that side of it. I don't even like having to talk to parents when their kids are having trouble in school LOL.
Not to mention, it's a LOT of work and a LOT of long hours, and I wasn't sure I was ready for that commitment. Teaching is not an easy job either, but at least I have my weekends and my summers.
-
I don't know if I have a "niche", I like to write stories that have some kind of twist to them, you think one thing and whoop I twist it to be something else. I guess that would be my "niche" then huh?
-
Why not. It's M. Night Shyamalan's niche - or used to be, till he started making crappy movies instead. LOL
-
Romance! Romance! Romance! Woot woot! Cheesy, sappy, romance!
Rose and Mare, don't you dare throw tomatoes at me! :P
-
Mine would have to be romance too. I just can't help it :)
-
It's your thing, no reason to throw fruits or veggies. lol
-
Hmm I'm not sure what my niche would be. Maybe story wise my stories are Hodgepodge like. Yeah there's usually romance in there but other stuff too, Drama, Suspense, etc. I'd like to think if you read my stories there's something for everyone. At least most of them. Character wise. I always make Brian the bad guy? Except my new one Everlasting. I made his wife the bad one. lol It's early I can't think. lol
-
I'm not sure what my "niche" is. the only way to find out is for you guys to read my stories and see for yourselves *laughs evily* :crazy:
-
I'm also a sucker for anything supernatural/superhero, though any time I've started a fan fic where the boys have powers, I've never finished it. Shame. I probably would have finished There Were Five if I hadn't lost the 70 pages I had written.
So maybe my writing niche and my reading niche are two different things.

Same here!
I tried writing a science fiction story but never got as far as posting any of it because it just didn't feel right. I love to read just about any kind of story though :)
-
I'm kind of the same way with reading vs. writing. I love a good medical drama romantic tearjerker, but good ones are hard to come by in book form, so I mostly read horror and thrillers. I haven't had as much experience trying to write horror and thrillers, though I'm getting there with the zombie story.
-
I'm not as picky reading a book as I am reading a fanfic. I'll read anything as long as it sounds interesting and is well written.

I'm big on reading in the supernatural genre, too, like I said in my post. I definitely think reading & writing niches are very different, too. Personally, I feel like I can't read books in the same niche that I write because I can figure 'em out too easy just because "thats how I would've written it..." lol
-
slash, though I try so hard to stray away from it I just keep coming back to it. It's rather odd because in real life I don't really agree with being gay. (no offense at all if you are!!!!!!!)
-
Hm, that is kind of odd... Why do you feel that way in real life when you can appreciate a gay relationship in your stories? Is it a religious thing?
I don't mean to start a debate, but homosexuality isn't a choice, so it's not something you can really "agree" or "disagree" with. That'd be like saying "I don't agree with being black." Like it or not, some people are born black, just as some are born white, just as some are born straight, just as some are born gay.
If you enjoy writing slash and can see how a relationship between two men can be beautiful, then maybe you don't really "disagree with being gay." Maybe you just think you're supposed to. Don't let anyone else tell you how to think or what to believe. (And if it seems like that's what I'm trying to do, I'm not... I just wanted you to consider the point I'm making and decide for yourself how you really feel.)
-
no like... if you wanna be gay go for it but... i could NEVER be with another girl or if I was a guy a guy. Plus my fam is major religious and my hubby is homophobic. I mean I love Ellen D. but I could never kiss a girl like she does Porsche. Does that make sense? I could watch the degrassi episode where Marco and Dillon Kiss over and over and over but if a girl wanted me in real life... I'de have to run away!
-
It makes sense, but that's because you're straight. I have no interest in being with another girl either, but I'm not gay. It's not just a choice you make - I mean, sure, you can choose to go around kissing girls, but that doesn't make you gay if you're not really attracted to them. Just like a gay guy can date girls, but if he's really gay, then he's making a choice that goes against who he really is and how he really feels. I hope that makes sense too.
-
totally. I dunno I just love writing about... like Nick and Kevin but if the two where to come out in real life... I think I'd find it a bit creepy.
-
I'm big on reading in the supernatural genre, too, like I said in my post. I definitely think reading & writing niches are very different, too. Personally, I feel like I can't read books in the same niche that I write because I can figure 'em out too easy just because "thats how I would've written it..." lol
How is it that so many people are coming out reading the supernatural now? *PLUGS MESSING WITH MAGIC AND MORE THAN THAT* Okay not really supernatual but yah! LOL
I know I said I liked to twist things but I'm not sure I do super well at it. I read stories by Mary Higgins Clark and other suspense authors and wow at how they keep everything straight (even though I figure out who it is early)... I've done a bit of it all... I even started a Nick romance *hides from Julie and Rose* but it didn't get super far.
-

That's one of the things that makes me marvel the most at book series like Harry Potter or the Lord of the Rings. Every single little detail ties together - from book one to the end. Like even little things that most people overlook completely was explained later in the series and turned out to be crucial for the plot. It blows my mind. Esp. LOTR because Tolkein like literally invented a whole language (there's literally alphabets and dictionaries in elfish that he wrote) just as backstory.... stuff he never intended to actually publish, but that he needed in order to create the world that the characters lived in.
For me, as weird as it sounds, when I start writing, I never know where the ending is gonna turn up. I reread the whole thing every time I add to a story, or at least the last 2-3 chapters. Things fall into place on their own, there's a natural order that comes from that, and it makes for plot twists that fit but are so unexpected because hell, even I had no clue until I really analyzed it a 2nd time. Whenever I TRY to set up a plot twist, its too obvious (ie., the double agent in STDFB2), but twists that I don't try to force are more shocking (I have one written for Time Watcher that hasn't been posted yet that even I didn't see coming when I started the story... but falls in naturally and throws back to something else perfectly).
In my opinion, it's not always the writer that creates the story. Sometimes, with the right story and the right character, the story really creates itself. Characters are created by the writer, but once they've been created they run on their own, and a lot of times I find that a well written character will write the story better than the author could.... lol I definitely attribute my writing skill to the characters that I write about (both in fan fic and original fic).
-
I agree with that completely. A lot of my stories just go with the flow and end up changing (Darkness of Vampires was not supposed to have a sequel but that darn Kevin....) I've often made the comment that my characters don't co-operate with me when I'm writing. I want them to do something and they end up doing something else. Very annoying.
-

I find myself going "What'd you do THAT for stupid?" at Nick like a million times when I was writing STDFB - especially the 2nd one (like when he got stuck in the bus window - which that scene wasn't originally even gonna be in the story, but he just insisted.... ::)) lmao :D
-
my bad guy in Wulf's Bane, Corin, is the absolute WORST offender of doing what he wants when he wants. ... >:(
-
damn those rebellious characters!! :banghead:
-
I am the same way. I rarely if ever know where my story is really going when I start it. I have a general idea but I kind of let the characters figure it out for themselves lol
-
I usually know the big event at the beginning that gets the story started and then the big climax at the end, but not so much the middle. I used to just go with the flow, but now I'm more of a planner; I kinda outline as I go, so I always have a direction, a point B to get to.
That said, my story Secrets of the Heart that I started a couple years ago and never update, is outlined literally chapter by chapter because I had to piece it all together to make sure it would work, and I never have much inspiration to work on it. My new story, Guilty Roads, was planned up to a point before I started it, and now I'm past that point and don't have anything outlined beyond that. I have a general idea of where it's going, but nothing set in stone, and that one I've been a lot more inspired on. So I think sometimes it is better to just go with it.
-
I used to never plan, like anything. I had an idea and I outlined the characters themselves with bios, but that was it. When 00Carter happened, habits changed by force cause with that many writers, you need a solid outline LMAO. Plus collaborating with Julie brings out your planner side, I swear. So now I outline ideas, in the sense of the idea, the beginning, the big event, and the ending. Things I know have to happen make it into the outline too. But I never do chapter by chapter. When it comes to how it all happens, I let the characters tell me. I see my outlines as "Fate" interfering in their lives. The events will happen either way, but how they make the journey is up to them.
-
^ Yeah, I agree. I'm the same way. I always know how i'm starting and how I want it to end but everything in the middle is usually up for grabs. In-between I also see big turning points and scenes as well. I think go with the flow really works. The stories I have enjoyed writing more are the ones that I didn't really have a direction on although I have never written an outline for anything before. The ones I have more planned out are the ones I find harder to write. Go figure lol
-
That's a good way to word it, Rose.
Sometimes the characters just meddle too much to ever get to point B though.
I find when I write detailed outlines I never write the story. It's like it's already written so there's no excitement in it. I write for entertainment the same way people read my stories. I'm just as shocked by them as the readers are! LOL
-
00Carter is the only story I've ever written with an outline! LOL.
-
I think that's where I am with Secrets; the whole story is written out as a string of summarized scenes, so why actually write it? I do want to write it and finish it, but I can't seem to maintain any kind of momentum on it. Grr.
-
Yeah when an outline is too detailed I find it kills the inspiration cause the spontaneity of the characters goes poof lol.
My outlines are very hodge podge anyway lol. I just got inspired for a kidnapping story yesterday, and all it is is random ideas and events I want to happen saved in a word doc with the title and summary lmao. No order to it. But it makes sense to me.
00Carter is the only story I've ever written with an outline! LOL.
LOL well you gotta admit, it needs it.
Undead it outlined, sort of. We have an order to it, and what we want to have happen, but the full thing isn't outlined to the end. And when the characters change something up or we get a random new idea, we go with it.
-

Try twisting the plot in a way that throws out the old outline ;)
-
LOL well you gotta admit, it needs it.
Yes, yes it does.
-
Try twisting the plot in a way that throws out the old outline ;)
I don't think I can... then my whole premise for it is ruined LOL. There are little things I could change and probably will as I get there, but I don't think I can throw out the whole outline. I like the idea, and I like how it goes together; I think I just need to get past the parts I'm on now and get a little further into it. Right now it's all kinda same old, same old, stuff I've written before, but after a couple more chapters, it will get into some different stuff for me, so I'm hoping that's when it will get fun again.

Ohhh... I got'cha. That was part of the problem I was having with the original version of HTSAL/Time Watcher. The original version was repetitive and it wasn't working towards what I wanted to accomplish as the point of the story, like the "moral of the story" thing. When I reworked the idea and got past that rut, it flowed easily
-
did we uh, hijack this thread?

:stabbitystab: BUUAHAHAHAAA.. .
at least we're on topic.

We're still talking about fanfic....lol So...maybe? :shrug:

Aww that's too bad because I really loved your original version of the story. I get what you mean though. If it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work.
To veer even more off topic but yet keeping it about writing yay! lol
I know i've seen a few people say they don't want to read something unless they know it's complete. Fanfic is like a soap opera for most people we need our small doses throughout the day. I think for fanfic it's important to post as you go for that reason except when it comes to something like totally reworking a story. I give you credit for taking it down and starting over. I have wanted to do that more than once but just felt like it was too late. lol
-
I don't think it's off topic unless it goes more of an annoying chatting, personal jokes, half the people don't get what you mean but one other person does route lol
-
Yeah, this is still a good fanfic discussion, even if it's evolved from the original topic. I like talking shop like this! :)
I definitely don't have the willpower to write a whole story without posting it LOL. Even when I was trying to write an "original novel," I still couldn't resist putting it up for people to read as I went along. I can't help it; I like feedback, and it's such a motivating force. I write mostly because I like to write, not because I want the praise for it, but at the same time, when I get something I'm proud of, I can't wait to share it with other people.
I do admire those who can wait till they have a finished product to start posting it, though, cause I really hate leaving things unfinished. I always hold off on posting till I know the story is flowing and feel like the motivation is there for me to be able to keep writing on it, but even then, it doesn't always happen. I hate leaving people hanging as much as I hate being left hanging as a reader, but it happens. It takes me so long to write a story from beginning to end these days, I'd go years without updating if I made myself finish a story before I started posting it LOL.
-
I like posting as I go too, because sometimes the comments you get in reviews and people's reactions can give you a heads up if something's not working. It allows you to catch some of those plot holes earlier on. Plus, like Julie said, it's more motivating.
I am definitely an outliner. But I hate it when things don't all end up coming together at the end. If things are left unanswered I want to shoot someone. (Hence the reason I couldn't watch LOST after season two. lol) I start with beginning, act 1 break, midpoint, act 2 break, and end. Then I figure out all sub plots and plot them in the outline. But I never really plot out any specific scenes because you just can't tell how it's all going to happen until your characters get involved and take over for you. But there are a million ways to accomplish everything that needs to happen. I find that when my outline does change, the same goals are always achieved, it's just how they happen that's different.
For some reason I don't think I just made any sense. Sorry. I know what 'm trying to say, just having a hard time putting it into words.
So, to add back to the original question, (it's nice not to be the hijacker for once!) Is your fanfic reading niche different from your book reading niche?
I tend to read pretty much the same types of fan fics as I do books.
I've found that it's a little different with writing. I write differently when I'm writing fan fic then I do when I'm writing original fiction. Maybe it's because I have specific characters I have to work with. I always feel like I have a lot less freedom when writing fan fic so I stay within some specific guidelines. But I can go anywhere I want in original fiction.
-
That totally makes sense, Kelly. That's usually how I do it too, outline the main stuff and then fill in the gaps as I go. Sometimes I have an idea of how a scene will play out in my head, but that part I don't usually plan ahead much; however it comes out is how it will be.
That's an interesting point about writing original fiction vs. fanfic. I don't write enough original fic to know, but I imagine it would be kind of different. There are some storylines that just don't work for the Backstreet Boys LOL, even as an AU, so it is kind of limiting in that sense.
-
I feel limited with the fanfic, too, especially in the angsty type stories that involve deaths. It feels weird writing deaths for actual people... Like controversial. I remember when I was working on How To Save a Life, I got a review bashing me for Brian & Leighanne's times because "it was creepy" that I was "predicting their deaths"... I don't know why people got so freaked out about it there but not over fics that actually had killed them off already or during the plotline, but hey. To each their own. I do see why that would be weird, though.
That said, as long as I do not include death scenes, I feel a lot can be learned from the threat/concept of death and dying, and therefore a lot of my more serious fiction (fan & original) revolve around the central theme of a death or impending death. I have always felt that way, and feel that way even more now, after having lost my Mom to cancer. Death can be beautiful in a mysterious, deeper way than most people see. I try to convey that in my stories.
The theme of death and conquering it and putting meaning/fulfillment into it is also what attracts me to the Harry Potter books.
-
It is hard to write something without posting it. Because as both Julie and Kelly said, getting that feedback as you go along is so important. Not that I write for feedback, but oh lord does it help! When I get little feedback I become less and less motivated to post more because I start doubting myself especially when there's a drop in feedback from one chapter to the next. Do you guys find that too?
But when people seem to really love what you write and give you lots of feedback, it just motivates me to keep going. I would never be one of those douchy authors who say I won't update unless I get reviews! lmao that's just attention seeking but I do think overall reviews are really important for all of us to keep wanting to write.
That being said, I have been so tempted to just start posting SW but i'm trying really hard not to! lol
As far as death scenes, I know I joke a lot about some people and their desire to constanly kill Kevin lol but I don't mind reading deaths if they are meaningful. I hate when characters are killed just for the pure shock factor and no other real reason, in fanfic and books and even movies and TV! Death scenes are awesome and powerful when they are done correctly!
-

YES!!!! ah, after I do an update I go nuts refreshing the page to see if I got a review.. I'm awful. It's like a cliffhanger for ME to see how people like it! I adore reviews!! But you're right, I could never be like "review or else I stop" either. Thats just stupid, lol

Exactly.
-
I don't have a problem with deaths either. Yes, it's real people we're writing about, but it's also fiction. We're making stuff up, and unless any of us psychic or some kind of voodoo masters, most of it will never come true. That's the fun in it, exploring the "What ifs."
-
:D voodoo masters... *rolls*
-
I am a voodoo master in training. :) lol
