Ten Favorite Stories on AC
« on: May 02, 2007, 10:59:53 AM »
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!

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

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...
