Thank you guys!
I finally got around to these questions, soooo here we go!
1) Tell us one thing about your story that no one else knows?
I originally didn't intend for the story to be this long, and subsequently, I didn't expect to take this long to finish it lol. Honestly. I started it on a whim from some stupid little daydream I had and it just kept progressing into this emotional roller coaster, and I realized to do the characters and the story justice, I had to go more in depth with them to get all angles of the situation. I didn't want any character to be hated, though it is easy to considering the circumstances. I want people to feel what the characters are feeling.
2) How long did it take you to write this entire story?
I started writing it in December '07, so it's been well over a year. I swear I'll finish it before summer! *shakes fist at writers block* I swear!
3) Give us a summary different from the one you have posted on AC, with a few more spoilers to make people tune in.
Brian and Leighanne are planning their wedding, but Brian is having second thoughts - he's unhappy with how things are progressing with his ever changing Leighanne. Nick gets a new girlfriend, a dancer named Leslie, who he meets at rehearsals for the BSB's upcoming tour for Unbreakable. Brian meets her and is immediately drawn to her, as she is just as equally drawn to him (though she deeply cares for Nick). They resist each other for awhile, but their feelings become too much, and on an unsuspecting Sunday afternoon, they give in to each other by betraying their significant others in the worst way imaginable. The pain, heartache, and drama that follows is never ending! It's a unique love story.
4) If you could cast this story as a movie who would play the main roles and why?
Jeez, this is such a hard question lol Really, it is. Uh, Leslie would be Rachel McAdams most definitely. Brian would probably have to be played by Jake Gyllenhaal perhaps? Paul Walker for Nick and Scarlett Johannsen for Leighanne.
5) Have you ever thought of giving up on the story and if you did what made you continue to work on it?
I never give up on a story. Never have, and never will. Time nowadays seems nonexistant for me so it's hard to get the motivation to write, but I'm bound and determined to finish it. I love this story to pieces, and I've put so much time and thought into it that it would be a terrible waste to just leave it as is.
6) What was your writing process? (Outline, make it up as you go along, the characters wrote it, I am Tonja and plagerized lol)
I've tried outlining and it doesn't work for me lol I wish. I just make stories up as I go along, though I have big scenes in my head I want to happen. Just getting there in a reasonable and interesting manner is the problem. It seems to work out for me well enough lol
7) Who was your favorite character in this story and why?
Probably Brian because what he does with Leslie goes completely against how any of us perceive him to be. He's not the typical Brian that is found in fanfics or in real life for that matter. He goes against his religion and his morals for this woman he barely knows anything about. He betrays his fiancee, his best friend, and his bandmates all for this uncontrollable feeling he has. It's intriguing and it's sooooo much fun to write!
8 ) You had to know this was coming, who was your least favorite?
I hate to say it, but Leighanne. I never intended to make her a villian in any way, and I still don't think I made her one completely (I think her character is very sad, and I feel bad for her), but her desperation to keep Brian around is unsettling. She goes to great lengths to get him to fall back in love with her, and when it doesn't go exactly how she wants it to, she hurts him the only way she knows how.
9) Are all the boys in this one? If not why did you choose to exclude them?
Yes, all of them are in this one. Some of them are in it more than others. Kevin and Howie get the shaft a bit lol Kevin cause he's not in the group, so he can only make an appearance occasionally, and Howie because I favored AJ as the counsler for the main characters over him.
10) If we like this story...then we'd love what story? (Could be by you or someone else) and obviously tell us why lol
If you like angsty romance stories that are original, check out Imaginary by me. It's a Nick fic. I only have a few chapters up, but I'm really excited about it. I have wonderful, sad, lovely plans for it *rubs hands evilly*
Otherwise! Definitely read:
A Little Taste of Sin by MellzBellz (my fellow adultery writer
Casual by Cabybakes
Left and Leaving by Sakabelle
These three stories definitely have angst and romance! And the authors are wonderful, amazing writers.
