Title: ^__^ Hi!
Post by: usako on June 14, 2012, 11:10:11 AM
Hi everyone!

I'm Cinzia, 27 years and I'm from Italy. I've started reading BSB fiction only in 2009, after re discovering my passions for them seeing them at the "This Is Us" tour here in Milan. I've always written since I can remember but during the university I didn't have too much time for that. BSB brought me back to my passion. :D Unfortunetely, here in Italy there aren't a lot of fictions and most of them are the same plot only with a different girl! lol Plus, I'm a Brian fan while most of stories had Nick as main character (I don't hate him but I'm a huge a FrickNFrack lover!) so I started searching outside the Italian fandom and I've landed here. I think I've read all the stories and the Absolute Chaos page is saved on my IPhone so I can check him during lunch break.

I write mostly Frick and Frack slash, not grapich. I don't dislike the het romance, I just find more interesting exploring the bond between Brian and Nick ( well, lol, I truly believe that something is going on between them! Lol) first it was only in my own language but now I'm starting translating and writing in English. I'm kinda little shy with posting my story but I wanna get better with my English that is why I'm stepping out my lurking side. lol

That's all for now!

:D Cinzia

Welcome Cinzia, I'm Steph :) I like your username!

Hello There! I love the name Usako as well. Welcome to the board!

Thanks! ^__^

Before the BSB Fandom, I was (and I'm still!) a huge Sailor Moon. I've studied Japanese (only two years and long time ago so I don't remember most of it lol) but Sailor Moon was one of the reason I've starte loving the Japanese culture. "Usako" is the nickname Darien/Mamoru (I think this is the name in the Us version, right?) uses for Usagi/Serena. In fact, on absolute chaos my username is "Mamogirl" lol

But thank you, really. I read all of your stories so I'm happy to be welcomed!  :)

Aha I knew that it was a Sailor Moon reference! I am a huge fan of the show myself!!!

I'm more fan of the manga instead than the show. And I even managed to insert it in my graduation thesis. lol Truth is that my very first fanfiction was in the Sailor Moon fandom. :D

I'm reading the manga as it is being released here in the US. I have up to book 5 and I love it. I also watch the live action SM series, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon on youtube when I can.

Oh the manga is amazing. Especially the last, "Sailor Moon Stars" it's so different from the anime.  :)
Title: Re: ^__^ Hi!
Post by: FrickingKaos on June 14, 2012, 12:56:19 PM
Sailor Stars wasn't released here (the anime) so I haven't seen it yet. I hear it was really good so hopefully I get to one day. I adore SM. I grew up watching it and my favorite Senshi is Jupiter.

Post by: usako on June 14, 2012, 01:15:50 PM
Oh yes, now I remember that in the USA didn't get release. I think it was due to the fact that Naoko Takeuchi blocked all the worldwide copyrights, which were released two years ago if I remember correctly.

Here in Italy the anime was heavily censured and the manga wasn't that easy to find (especially since I live in a very very small town and there aren't comic stores nearby.)

But yes, I've grown up with Sailor Moon too. Well, my favorite has always been Sailor Moon, with tons of love for Tuxedo Kamen (my first crush ever lol). But I do love Uranus.

Sailor Moon here was more of a kids show. After hearing about some of the things in Sailor Stars, I don't think they could have aired it here lol. I also agree Tuxedo Kamen (Tuxedo Mask) was one of my first crushes lol
Title: Re: ^__^ Hi!
Post by: usako on June 14, 2012, 01:35:14 PM
Here in Italy is still considered as a simple "kid show". Just like any other Japanese anime. Which is something that annoys me to the end because it's not how they were born in Japan.  :)

Ciao Cinzia and welcome to the forum! :)

Post by: FrickingKaos on June 14, 2012, 01:44:20 PM
Believe me you're not alone in that thought because I feel the same. It isn't meant to be a kids show really. So what kind of Fanfic do you like to read on the site? Any favorite stories?
Title: Re: ^__^ Hi!
Post by: usako on June 14, 2012, 01:53:43 PM
lol I'm a Brian's fan therefore any story with him as the main character is my favorite kind of fanfic. But I know that it's like waiting for a miracle because not many people write about him and I'm not particulary fond of the simple romantic stories. I'm more for the drama and angst. Not that I don't want to read about love story, it's just that most of the times they are written from the female character's pov and there isn't a lot of focus on Brian as character. I'm more the kind of reader that love to explore their mind and personaluty, why they act in a certain adn what reasons bring them to be in a certain way.
I love FrickNFrack stories, especially if they are slash. lol If I ever get the courage to post here my story, it would be a FrickNFrack AU set in New York.

I've read all the stories here. lol My very first one had been "It stays with you" by Mare. But I love your clone series and "Something Beautiful" by Pengi holds a special spot in my heart. But really, if I have to list all my favority stories, I have to name all lol
Title: Re: ^__^ Hi!
Post by: FrickingKaos on June 14, 2012, 01:56:13 PM
Ah I see. I love those kind of stories too but I don't really read slash. I like to write Nick and Brian myself...I write just about every genre. And I am the same way, I have so many favorite stories it would take forever to list them.

Post by: usako on June 14, 2012, 02:03:03 PM
I tend to write more drama and angst. I love the angst.

I know, a lot of people don't like slash and it's okay.  :) Just like I don't like that much reading a het.
Title: Re: ^__^ Hi!
Post by: FrickingKaos on June 14, 2012, 02:16:35 PM
Right now I'm writing a science fiction/suspense with Nick and Brian. I love writing those two together. Also working on one with Nick and AJ that is AU and two romance AU stories.
Title: Re: ^__^ Hi!
Post by: usako on June 14, 2012, 02:22:32 PM
Oh, I love writing about them together too. Maybe a different together lol The one I'm tranlasting right now (and I'm trying to find the courage to post it here) it's an AU and it's the first time I write that type of story. The chaps are really short but... well, I'm already on the 60th chap.  :D

Welcome to the site, I'm Steph and tend to write a bit of everything with Nick usually being my main man :)

I was afraid to post my work too. You just have to try and see what happens, you never know unless you do.

I'll try. I'm like this even when posting my stories in my own language.  :D

Welcome, Cinzia!  You sound like my kind of writer/reader - Brian, Nick, drama, and angst!  I'm not a fan of slash, but I do love the angst!!  I hope you'll post your stuff here as you start experimenting more with writing in English.  Just from your posts, your English seems great, but I'm sure it's more difficult to write creatively in a foreign language.  I always admire authors who can do that!!

Who doesn't love angst? lol

Thanks for the welcome! ^__^

It's not that hard to write, but maybe it's because I just love English! lol The hardest part is the translating, especially since in Italian I tend to write very long chaps (10-15 pages each, sometimes even 20). I have a story that isn't slash but it's my very first one and it's just... awful! In fact I'm rewriting it! lol I've got so much ideas, only if I have the time and confidence to write them all... lol

By the way, I've posted my story. :D

Welcome to the board Cinzia!  I watched a little bit of SM just before I went to college. My best friend is into anime so when I lived with her I got exposed to a lot more. 

I have a Brian angst story sort of.  It's really my first attempt at an angsty story so it's going slow.  :)
