Title: The greatest story never told!
Post by: mare on August 05, 2007, 06:22:52 PM
Yay I came up with a new topic lmao  ;D Go meat meat ... Go meat meat

When you answer this question, answer as a reader and not a writer.

What in your mind would be that perfect BSB story that you haven't read yet?  One that would make you look for updates and excite you into reading all night long? I know we've all come across ones that have done that to us, but I know for me it hasn't happened in a long time.

So describe an ideal story you would love to read that you haven't yet. And don't describe something you are writing lmao

You know, like a situation, ideal characters, what you'd like to see happen etc...

Who knows maybe your description will spark someone to actually write it! Or better yet maybe after you describe it, someone else will come on and say "Oh I know a story very similar to that one" and link you up!

I don't know lol i'm trying guys.  ;D

Discuss!!

This is a great topic idea, Mare!

I'm trying to think... LOL I think my problem here is that in the past, if I've ever thought of a story idea I would like to read and don't know of any stories that fit that description, I have just ended up writing it myself!  That's how I used to get ideas LOL.  So I don't know... I'll have to think some more.

It's a great discussion idea, though, and I can't wait to see what other people post!

Nobody can think of one? lol. I've got lots! I'll just say one or two though...

I've always wanted to read a novel (not short) that was based later in life (say... 10 years) about the Backstreet Boys and just basically what their lives would be and their kids and just something that's not about boyfriend/girlfriend relationships. YAY! Fun! I wanna write it now! lol.

Something else would be... a story that was TOTALLY based on choices. "Do I eat the banana or give it to Jimmy?" And what would come of those decisions. I mean, a banana could very well be life-altering! It could be poisoned or be a bomb! Anyways, not just what would happen if you chose to eat the banana, but also have in the story what would happen if you gave it to Jimmy! (btw, banana just popped into my head because I'm hungry. It doesn't have to be a banana, I just meant choices throughout the day in general, lol).

I just had a banana... it was tasty, though a little on the under-ripe side. Thought I would share that because I have no ideas.

Personally, I like coming across stories like that... they are all different, it depends on my mood, etc but I don't go actively looking for particular types of stories. They come to me, I think.

Though I think it's a good topic, so *pom poms* YAY MARE!

I think I actually have read a story where all the guys are older. It was a looong time ago though and I can't remember where I read it. It was either here or Vaffel.

I have too... I think it was hosted on BSBAttorneys back in the day, when I was young, all that. What the hell was it... I'll do some Buffy-style investigating and figure it out.

Oh really?! That'd be totally tubular if you could find one of those stories for me!!!
Title: Re: The greatest story never told!
Post by: mare on August 19, 2007, 04:23:36 PM
LOL yes it could have been the BSB attorneys. You know they refused to host me when I first starting writing. I was BSB attorneys rejected! :( you're bringing back bad memories!

*hug* there, there. The fact that they no longer grace us with their presence should help you through the pain.

Lol I know it made me think SOOOO much! I actually thought it might make a kewl fan fic idea, but it would be so in depth and complicated I think. Too much for me to handle at least.
Title: Re: The greatest story never told!
Post by: Nijntje on August 21, 2007, 10:22:48 AM
I thought of the same kind of story!! Seriously! But I too figured it would be far to difficult.. It'd be a great challenge though.. maybe a challenge for this board? Like: write a short story with a choice at the end and then two paragraphs/short chapters that show us what happens with each decision.

I was in the middle of writing a CYOA when my computer crashed and I lost the entire thing. It was pretty good too :( lol stupid computer!

What's CYOA? I've got an idea, but it doesn't match those letters rofl

Choose Your Own Adventure? lol I'm just guessing, I don't know for certain.
Title: Re: The greatest story never told!
Post by: mare on August 21, 2007, 07:27:52 PM
oops lol yes choose your own adventure. Where at the end of every chapter there were two choices and depending on how you wanted it to go you can pick whiever link you wanted.

I used to love those books but I imagine a fic would be very involved. It would basically have to be two fics of the same length combined
Title: Re: The greatest story never told!
Post by: mare on August 21, 2007, 09:19:09 PM
It was very involved and it took me alooong time to write, but I made the chapters ultra short but yes it was like writign two stories at the same time. I doubt i'll ever try it again lol
