According to you…
Jul 9th, 2010 | By Karah | Category: Ask Karah, Music, Thoughts & Opinions, Updates, WritingHey everybody! Well, I go back to work tomorrow so technically my vacation is almost over. I chilled in a little blowed up pool today for a while and I think I got a little blistered. I burn very easily, it’s crazy.
So I want to address something I saw on a message board. I think Backstreet Boys fan fiction is making a comeback. I’ve seen more people writing lately, new writers and even some older writers like Kristy over at Under The Sheets are back. She was around before me… her stories were some of the first I read thanks to my ex-best friend. (Best thing she never did for me I think lol)
Knowing BSB fan fiction is making a come back makes me happy. I’ve found that lately, writing this stuff is giving me a creative outlet that I kind of lost after college. I can’t be as “creative” in my writings for the metro area newspaper like I could my college paper. So this gets that creativity out.
On that note, I have a few new Ask Karah’s which I’m going to continue to post here. You can go that link to ask a question :)
When are you going to write a new story that’s not a sequel to something? – Alexa
I’m thinking of an idea now, but haven’t fully planned it out. I kind of like going back and meeting these characters that I haven’t been a part of in YEARS. I’ve thought about doing a sequel to “The Trouble With Love” but don’t have a solid plan for it, like I do with the “I Wanna Be Bad” sequel. I am coming up with a plan for one though.
You said you have a minor in creative writing. Did you write any stories for school that you’re willing to post? – Tracy
I kind of already have… “Confessions” started out that way. I do have a short story that I wrote called “Destiny” that I may put up one day. I made a 100 on it in class. May do that soon if you guys would like to see it.
Are you going to post a bigger version of your picture with Nick? I want to see it! – Becki
Hmm, nope. You guys can see it clear enough there. It’s not that special and trust me, I’d rather not break your computers with my ugly mug!
You are always using songs in your stories….. what music are you listening to right now? Any new artists? – Maria
Right now as I’m writing this, I’m listening to Orianthi… she’s the blonde chick that was supposed to tour with Michael Jackson, playing guitar. She was on American Idol a lot this past year. I really love her album “Believe.” I’ve also been listening to Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean lately, two Georgia boys. Of course, I’m always listening to Taylor Swift and Backstreet Boys too.
If you have any questions for me, go over to the Ask Karah page.
And thanks guys for all the feedback lately! I’m trying to reply to all of them! If you have any questions about the stories, post them in the feedback and I’ll reply :)
And with that, Chapter 14 – I Run To You, of “We Weren’t Crazy” is now up. Chapter 15 is probably one of my favorite chapters I have ever written, but that will come later this weekend :p Maybe tomorrow if you guys like this one enough!

Hey, BSB fan fiction is one of the factors in the way we meet! I am bias as well and I do believe BSB fanfiction should stay FOREVER and I really should redo my cheesy fics from HS and put on your hosted site!

@Penni, yeah in a way sort of lmao but mostly because of Rascal Flatts… which btw, I miss Jay. We need to see them sometime soon. I saw their commercial the other day for the Hershey’s and I miss Jay. He’s not even my favorite but I miss him. He’s having a baby, did year hear that?
*pats your avatar*

I second that BSB fan fic is making a comeback and it makes me happy too! Going through some of the link at the Yellow Pages makes me sad that so many sites are gone or not updated. What message board were you on? I’m so out of the loop with some of those things.
PS- Thanks for the plug!
PPS- Love Luke Bryan! Got to meet him once. I love his cover of OneRepublic’s Apologize!

@Kristy, I love both of Luke’s albums. He’s from not far from here. I got to interview him a couple of years ago when he was opening up for Dierks Bentley here. Love him!
I’ll e-mail you later. I started back work today :p

I’m glad that fan fiction is making a comeback. But this site will always remain a favorite. Keep up the wonderful writing.

I’m glad that so many fan fic writers have managed to stay over the years. I’ve wanted to get back into it but can’t find the time. Maybe soon…..
