I find this really amusing and really sad at the same time, but I was just clicking through the Tens, which is not something I usually do, and I noticed that ALL of the Ten Favorite Stories are about Nick and a girl. Not to disparage the romance writers or the Nick lovers, or both (honestly, I'm writing one, too LOL), but I think it's frustrating to know that people are more likely to read a story if it's a Nick romance. *sigh*
-
lol since we're both on the top ten favorites I think it's amusing as well, maybe nick is just easier to read? Probably because his relationships are just THAT full of drama! LOL But yeah it'd be nice to see a brian or an aj story up there, but I don't know if that'll happen. I'm just glad mel took ADM off of number one!
-
I just checked that out. That's interesting lol
Ever since i've started to write fanfic it's always been romance oriented, of course not that there's anything wrong with that lol Sorry romance people. There are just more of you than there are of us. Actually I remember it was all about slash too which I never really understood.
I remember when people always said to you write het or slash and I never had a clue what they meant. lmao oooh those were the days. It's always ben Nick and a girl fics as well or Nick and a boy.
on a side note,
I was bummed I thought this was going to be a fun survey like list your top ten favorite stories on AC lmao
Aww :( now maybe i'll make that survey lol
-
Yeah... no offense to Nick fans and/or writers, but c'mon! There are four other guys in the group that we love (and yes, I include Kevin. I think I'm still in denial) and can write about besides Nick.
Maaaaaaaaaaaaa aare, make a survey. I'm at work and BORED OUT OF MY MIND!

bwahahaha. sorry mare! but, hey, i'm glad you made the survey, though!
boy, i guess i shouldn't gripe about the nick romance thing because i'd rather not be asked the whole het or slash thing...EVER. ick.
-
lol slash isn't me lol the first non-nick fic i'm working on is KDL for Kisses Don't Lie, an Aaron fic that's getting hijacked by AJ very soon LOL.
-

LOL that was weird, I still don't get it. Maybe it's in reference to people who write visuals?
-

Okay so I made the survey and you disappear? lmao

LOL that sounded funny for some reason.
I have written non Nick centered fics as well but it's much easier for me to write as Nick and I have never written a Nick and a girl fic. A Nick and a groundhog fic yes but never a Nick and a girl fic. Oh I guess I did once lmao now that I think about it but it was a short story.
-

Isn't it something to the effect of "if you want readers write het or slash"? *shrugs*
It can be a problem anyway... In a lot of other fandoms you run the risk of pairings whores and such...

Aww...well maybe I should write a sequel then! ;) hehe
-
aww, i loved the groundhog, too ;D
most of my stuff is usually non-Nick because i love all the other Boys and love to spread the fanfic love between them all. actually, come to think of it, i don't think i've written a Kevin-centered fic that wasn't AU...hmm, something to put on the to-do list LOL But, no, I don't think I could ever write slash
:bananapower:
this is so cool^^!! i just saw it and had to add it in LMAO thanks, Mare!
-

Next April? :D

Maybe an aardvaark?
-
Maybe an aardvaark?
Good one! :D
-
wasn't Arthur an aardvark? i enjoyed those books/show. i can see it now: the groundhog and the aardvark...if they had babies, would they be called aardhogs or groundvarks? LOL
-
Arthur was an Aardvark, though in the show he looked more like a bear because he didn't have the nose anymore.
Best thing about that show: His song taught me how to spell aardvark. A-A-R-D-V-A-R-K *does the dance*
Anyway... I think they should be "groundvarks." :)
-
yeah, i liked groundvarks, too. Dee, now you've got the A-A-R-D-V-A-R-K chant stuck in my head! I'll probably be so distracted by it in class now :P
-
Okay so I made the survey and you disappear? lmao
Sorry, I was training someone at work! lol ooops...
-

As long as you don't stand up and do the dance too. :D
-
Where is everyone? I've only been at work for 25 mins and I'm already bored! LOL
-
Ooh yes a groundvaark! And maybe Mare the groundhog can leave her little groundvaark on Nick's doorstep to raise as his own :( Aww Nick the daddy to a groundvaark.
-
LMAO Mare! That take interspecies mating to a whole new level!
-
Ooh yes a groundvaark! And maybe Mare the groundhog can leave her little groundvaark on Nick's doorstep to raise as his own :( Aww Nick the daddy to a groundvaark.
:D And then the groundhog crawls back in her little hole and imagines how Nick is the father of her baby.
:D

Yea I've noticed the top 10 thing too. Nick stories have always been the most plentiful and I personally find him the easiest to write about. I stopped holding too much stock in the Top 10 anyway. It was fun at first, but now they don't really change much and in all honesty a few of those stories don't belong there.
But I've always written stories revolving around Nick and a girl. I don't think I could write as convinciengly about any of the other guys. I like to focus on relationships too. I have to have that female character in there too. I guess a lot of fics are pulling away from that now, but I'm very happy with the way I write.

Nick is the easiest for me to write too. I struggle with Howie and Kevin. Brian I think I can pull off, and AJ is a blast when I get him right lol. I put Nick through a lot, but I think in my one romance, I get him down the best cause I'm taking him on in 1st person.
-
I think that's because when you write in first person, you have to try to get into the head of the character more, as opposed to just attempting to get into their head in third person.

True, I just hate how narrow 1st person can be, hence me having two POVs lol
-
I think for me AJ is probably the most difficult and then Nick next.

Or you could just... Write it from the first person view of everyone and change it each chapter. :D

I do that all the time lol
-
Some of the babysitter's club books read like that, and then people's chapters crossed paths event-wise... Needless to say, it was all very confusing.
-

Well you pull it off well LOL :P

LMAO!!! That is too funny cause I always think of those Babysitter's Club Super Specials when I think of stories with multiple first POVs that actually sorta worked. Remember how they started the chapters with diary entries written in the different handwriting? Ahh, I loved Babysitter's Club.

Aww me too! And I loved the super specials! I never got confused because every chapter did start with some kind of diary and I liked how the POV's switched in them. OMG the goo old BSC. Can we say memories or what? lol

Yup. :) Well no, it was like when Kristy would be all like, "There was a stowaway hiding in a pile of rope..."
And then three chapters later Dawn would say, "PS... My brother was hiding in a pile of rope..."
And then you sit there going... Doesn't Kristy recognize Dawn's brother? ???
That's all that ever bothered me.... :D
I used to own the entire series. :D

Though I don't think I'm in 'The Tens' as a newly converted Nick-Romance Writer, I'd just like to send out the earth-shattering - BITE ME! *growl* But I love you all the same anyway.
-
It's just a fact, most of the stories on there are Nick romances. *shrug*
