I'm in the process of reformatting all of my hosted stories to move to my domain because of the big Geocities shutdown, and as I'm skimming through every chapter of every story I have on my site, I'm getting a kick out of looking at these old-school fanfics. Blast from the past!
Anyway, I was thinking of those drinking games, where you take a sip every time such-and-such happens. I did a search to see if there was one for Bsb fanfic, and there are some for a lot of other fandoms, but not ours, not that I could readily find. I think we need one! LOL
So let's use this thread to list some things you think should go on the list. You can use cliches and trends from both old-school fanfics and current ones.
Here's a few examples to get us started...
- The author uses a tag like "At Nick's house" or "The next day" or "One hour later" to set the scene.
- A whole paragraph is dedicated to what the main character is wearing.
- Carson Daly is mentioned.
Add on! :)
-
Just for fun... This is the Bsb Drinking Game from probably 1999 or earlier... I have a copy of this printed out from way back in the day! LOL

I also wanna say that this isn't intended to make fun of anyone's stories... I have used all three of the things I mentioned as examples, so I'm as guilty as anyone else of cliches! LOL
-
one of the guys mentions McDonald's
Another member of the Carter family is in the story
Kevin yells at Nick
Brian prays for some reason
-
LOL good ones
-
AJ tilts his sunglasses! (I am beyond guilty of this one LOL)
Nick has a clumsy moment
The story features a girlband/female singer
Howie winks
-
LOL those are all great, and I'm pretty sure I have one story from way back when which includes all of those.
Here's some more...
-It is assumed all the BSB live very close to one another
-Nick falls in love with his best friend
-Without question, Kevin takes on the role as the "father" of the group
-
Hum...fan fic drinking game?!? Sounds fun!
How about....
The lead Boy gives up something he LOVES for the lead lady. (like AJ not wearing sunglasses anymore cuz she loves his eyes, LOL)
Nick tells a CORNY joke. (that only HE finds funny)
Howie goes into his famous peacemaker mode and makes everything a-ok again.
There are absolutely NO flaws in the Boy's relationship with his woman. (after all, they are PERFECT for each other and have nothing they could possibly fight or disagree about!)
-
I've been compiling a list and here's what I have come up with.
Anytime the nicknames Frick, Frack, Bone, lil' man and Rok are used. (You'd be drunk if you were reading my stuff) lol
Anytime the female lead 'happens' to have the same name as the author, you have to take one swig everytime the name is mentioned.
Whenever a bus crash, car crash or plane crash occurs.
Whenever random BSB song lyrics are inserted for no reason.
Whenever the villian of the story is the bodyguard, nanny or Leighanne.
Whenever someone uses loose instead of lose.
Whenever you see Brain instead of Brian.
Whenever a doctor comes out and over explains symptoms to everyone.
An extra shot if it's about cancer.
Whenever the first word of the chapter starts with the name of the female lead.
Whenever Howie is described as 'the latino' lol
Whenever you see the words 'dude' or 'man'
Whenever you see the word 'orbs'
hrmm....that's all I have for now.
lol
-
LMFAO those are all good ones!
"Anytime the female lead 'happens' to have the same name as the author, you have to take one swig everytime the name is mentioned."
Depending on the story, that one alone would have you completely wasted after a few chapters! LOL
-
Here's a few more...
- The story has a banner with a Backstreet Boy and a random girl on it.
- The Backstreet Boy is Nick.
- The girl is a celebrity.
- The girl is an actual photo, most likely of the author.
- The summary contains a question. (One drink per question.)
- The story or chapter has the same title as a Backstreet Boys song.
-
You see the words, "I suck at summaries" lol
-
- The story has a banner with a Backstreet Boy and a random girl on it.
Four shots, if said banner is outrageously HUGE!
-
And then after the four shots I take and break the bottle over the head of the person who made the banner!
-
LMAO
-
*is trying to calculate how drunk she'd be from her stories alone* gosh darn name one GRRRR!!!
Is the painting of Venus a "random famous girl?"
-
*is trying to calculate how drunk she'd be from her stories alone*
I'm with you there!
-
Ok I think I have some...how about a shot every time...
Nick cheats on his leading lady.
Any of the guys fall in love at first sight.
AJ gets drunk.
Kevin beats someone up.
Brian gets abused by Leighanne.
That's all I got for now. :)
-
Damn... Anyone would prolly die from alcohol poisoning after reading ANY BSB story with those rules LOL
-
:D these are all hilarious!
-- whenever one of the Backstreet Boys steals another member's girlfriend
-- whenever a main character falls into, gets out of, and then goes into another coma within one chapter (i once read a story where this happened in one paragraph! lol)
-- whenever Nick has a pool and throws his love interest into it
-- whenever a Backstreet Boy surprises the love interest by serenading her
-

"Brian finally dicovers he can sing with his eyes open [He's just passionate...a bout everything!]"
That one is my favorite on the list!
-
This was NOT a good topic to read at work...I'm laughing so hard, because I knew with my fics alone I would succumb heavily to alcohol poisoning...an d then I would probably have to write a story about it :) :D
-
^ LOL same here! It's like the pot calling the kettle black, but it's still fun to make fun of the stuff we used to write (or still do and love it - guilty pleasure!) LOL.
-
I'd be passed out drunk, lol
-
*sigh* I remember this topic.. I'm drunk just from re-reading
-
Drink If....
- The leading lady dies of some terminal disease and her Boy is forever distraught
- The leading lady/Boy get into a near-fatal car crash
- Boy falls in love with a back up dancer (I would be drunk for such a looooong time!)
- In an old school story, the author goes on about how skinny AJ is..
- Brian is referred to as "Brother Brian" (drink twice!)
- Everytime time the story hints at something that could be interpreted at slash
- Nick calls AJ "Bone"
- The author actually uses the nickname "Jizzle"
- Paris Hilton is mentioned
-
I don't think i've ever read a story that anyone called Brian, Brother Brian before. LOL
I'd be in rehab with the "Bone" one though
-
Don't think I've written any with those in, and I've not heard of Brother Brian either.
Actually, I'm lying. I might've written Jizzle in one of mine, lol.
-
I know i'm very guilty of the whole Bone one and I have mentioned Paris in a few. I don't think I've ever done any of the others though. In the last psot anyway lol
-
LOL I was reading what I would do to/in my story/stories and came up with 15 with the stuff already listed.Here are more I came up with:
when someone becomes blind or deaf
If there's a staker in the story
when there are vampires in the story
when the guys kiss each other
when Nick picks on Howie
If Nick and Aaron fight over a girl
If there's a pregnancy in the story
-
(Brian was referred to as 'Brother Brian' in No Matter What - 'cause Ashley read it in another fic-lol)
If one of the Boys has a little sister that lives with them, tours with them, or sings just like them.
If one of the Boys suddenly finds out he's a kid he never knew about after all these years.
If the leading girl cheats on one of the Boys, with Nick.
If Kevin is one to be feared when he is angry.
If Nick is afraid of Kevin & his caterpillar eyebrows.
If Brian or Kevin introduce themselves as the others' cousin. (We know Boys, it's been how many years now?)
If the Boys randomly start singing one of their owns songs during an every day situation.
If the Boys surprise fans, then end up dating/marrying those fans.
If Marcus lives in A.J.'s house, or in a building with any of the other BSB members.
I think I'd be in the Hospital if I had to drink for every one of these - I don't hold liquor well - lol.
~Lenni~
-
another one would be if the story has Nick being all "I'm the perfect older brother and your legal gardian"
in it
p.s. i'm pretty sure the only the people that wouldn't be drunk if thay actually played this would be the ones that know absolutely nothing about the backstreet boys :D
-
Although Ive seen people who know nothing about BSB write very convincing fanfic lol
-
I don't drink and yet I would be so drunk and possibly dead!
Here's a few I'm guilty of:
One of the boys has a child that falls in love with another boys child
Nick seems to not know anything about kids and/or parenting
Aaron happens to be on tour with the boys
AJ gets yelled at for cussing
Brian says something stupid instead of a curse word (like: Apple; shoots and ladders; oh my cookies)
Jesse McCartney is in the story
Brian cries
Someone gets put in the hospital but turns out not to be badly hurt or sick
AJ nervously picks his nails or twirls his shirt
Howie falls asleep with his mouth open
A non BSB member gets Kevin's name wrong... calling him something like Ken, Keith or Chris.
One of more of the boys hates one or more of the Nsync members
Nick has a child who some how manages to me more of a brat then he is/was
-
Cant help it - I gotta add a few slash related ones:
The author manages to slash Howie without the story being stupid
Kevin and Nick are paired together (an extra gulp if Nick is the more dominate one)
AJ is secretly in love with Brian or Nick
Brian and Nick cheat on their partners with each other
Brian acts completely gay but isn't.
Kevin leaves his woman to be with one of the other boys
Kevin goes off the deep end when he learns that Brian is gay.
Brian walks in on Kevin with another man
Nick gets molested or raped but a random stranger (another gulp if one of the other BSB helps him recover)
Nick get's pregnant and has twins.
-
I don't know that a lot of those are cliches that pop up in enough people's stories because I have never seen a good chunk of those lol
-
the slash ones, im sorry, I see a lot! I guilty of some too tho.
-
I just came here to say that this is the greatest thread on this entire board ;) I 100% fully support this game :D
-
I don't know that a lot of those are cliches that pop up in enough people's stories because I have never seen a good chunk of those lol
I think I'm guilty of 75% of those. They must have just gone down my list of stories, lol.
-
Wow I love this lol! At least I know that I am not the main character in ANY of my stories, most of them don't have a banner, and I'm only guilty of some of these! Here's my suggestion as well. Take a shot if the main female lead is on tour with the boys. Take a shot if the girl is a photographer or works with the guys on the road
-

Just keep adding ones I'm guilty of. I'll succumb to alcohol poisoning soon :p
-
You know what we haven't added? Nick getting sick/some disease or injury! I am definitely guilty of this one, and it's always Nick lmao. Because it's just fun to pick on Nick like that lmao.
I know Julie and I would need shots for our own stories lmao.
-
What about Brian having something wrong with his heart? That seems to be semi popular.
Heres one I'm really bad about:
Aaron showing up randomly in a fiction.
It's kinda funny cause I have it on good count that they don't talk very much.
-
Lots of shots!! LOL
-
Oh we should take a shot if the chapter ends in a cliffie!
-
What about Brian having something wrong with his heart? That seems to be semi popular.
LOL I'd get drunk off that one too. It used to be even more popular than it is now.
-
Double shots if the author manages to throw their name in the fiction with them being the main charecter. Ya know, a fan or friend, or waitress!
-
Given that we're talking about shots, this felt appropriate to post in the thread lmao. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO2txAtN1E8
-
Oh Rose. I love Nick in that, he seems to enjoy giving out shots LOL
-
I'm guilty of putting my name in the story, so hand me my double shot please, lol
-
Oh we should take a shot if the chapter ends in a cliffie!
::bury me now::
-
Jen I'm guilty of that one many times so I'm right there with you LOL
-
Me too. I like cliffs because they help make people come back.
-
yikes if we took a shot everytime a chapter ended in a cliffy i'd be dead of alcohol poisoning! lol
-

You would be long gone! lol
-
I know this thread is old, but it's hilarious! And I think it would make a great challenge to see how many stereotypes we could write in one...not the shots. lol
-
Double shot if Nick is injured in the story.
