So! Type any of my boyxboy stories that you want into the comments, and I'll tell you about the backgrounds! Original ideas, deleted scenes, orignal names, things you probably didn't notice, how it got its title, etc. I'll type them up on here, so keep checking for new updates about old stories! Go ahead and post any story you're curious about in the comments! :)

My...Stepbrother?

> I only wrote this story because I really wanted to use the names Kory and Trace

> Zeke was never supposed to become a main character

> I don't have it saved anymore, but there was originally a scene where Trace fell down the hill in their backyard in the rain. He broke his ankle, and Kory had to come to his rescue, which made Trace start to fall for Kory. 

> Originally, Kory's dad was supposed to be alive and play a part in the story

Rebound But Newfound

> The title was suggested to me by a reader

> I only wrote it due to fan demand

> There was originally a scene where Tommy got a serious back injury and required surgery (I still have the scene, but I can't remember what file it's under in my computer)

> Tommy's dad was supposed to be named Brody, but I typoed and didn't catch it until later 

> There was a scene where Tommy actually broke his ankle, and his parents told him he couldn't play soccer anymore, and he got into a huge fight with them. After rewriting it 3 times and not liking it, it turned into the scene where they talk to Sammy and Mikey about graduation and tell Tommy to go to Zeke's house

Changing Will

> I only wrote it due to fan demand

> Ethan actually does have a last name, and it was originally in the story, but I took it out to frustrate readers

> The only reason Will was written was because I didn't like the idea of all the main characters of Friend Zoned being only children

>The title was originally The Will Of Hearts

> There was originally a scene where Jude threatens Ethan so badly that Ethan has a panic attack and refused to go back to school 

> There was originally a scene where Ethan did eat nuts and have an allergic reaction

> Greg was originally supposed to be Ethan's stepdad, not his real dad 

> The park they go to is the same park mentioned in most of my other stories

Friend Zoned

> Originally Benji was supposed to be bullied

> Ethan wasn't supposed to be in the story, and he was never intended as a main character once he did appear

> Ethan got his name from Teen Wolf (and was originally named Aiden, but I didn't like typing that)

> I wanted to use the name Benji and the name Greyson, but I decided to use both (and regret it because it's confusing)

> Benji and Jude were the names of Mark's and Maxx's pets in Snake Eyes

Just A Spark

> Hank was originally supposed to only have a weed addiction

> I chose the name Ezra because it means "Helper"

> The title comes from Last Hope by Paramore (It's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going) 

> Rio was originally intended to be a trouble maker, but ended up being a fairly well behaved character

> Just A Spark is the longest story I've ever written

> Forever My Father by Go Radio was usually on repeat when I was writing Just A Spark 

Outside The Lines

> Kim and Dimitri weren't supposed to be friends

> Dimitri was spoiled and mean, but everyone defended him over Alek, who was actually trying to protect Theo and Thalia

> Dimitri was originally interested in Thalia, but turned to Theo when he realized Alek had a crush on him

> Dimitri was supposed to get beat up during the story, but I decided to scrap that idea

> The character of Dimitri was inspired by Jeffree Star (not Magnus Bane, which is what most people think)

> I kept my copy of Hamlet next to me anytime I wrote new chapters, and would flip to random pages for quotes

The Journal

> This was inspired by talks of suicide I had with my health teacher 

> The first chapter was typed out on my iPod, but was too long so I cut out a lot of scenes of Nash and Francis (I might still have the original first chapter in my email somewhere)

> Callahan and Damien were based off of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern

> The funeral special was based on my cousin's funeral

> Francis and Nash already had issues before they even dated

> This is the most plagiarized of my works (which is hella annoying, and illegal)

The Fag Swag

> Phil's mom was originally supposed to be a stripper

> Originally, Nick and Phil were supposed to have the same dad, but I very quickly scrapped that idea

> Nick was only supposed to say "Oh my lanta" once or twice, but it ended up being the saying he was known for

Can't Even Think Straight

> I was having bad writer's block, and it was the fourth story I'd attempted to write in about 2 weeks, so I didn't have much faith in it. It turned out to be one of my most popular

> I only wrote it because I wanted to use the names Evan and Sebastian

> Evan was originally a ginger

> I wrote the story late at night when I was overtired to make sure that Evan's crazy personality stayed consistant

Kill The Lights

> Inspired by me rereading my old stories (and I mean olddd stories. Like, from 7 years ago kind of old. Like painfully embarrassing fanfiction old.)

> Every name used in this story was used in old stories of mine (except for the name Jasper) 

> Pretty much Set It Off and William Beckett propoganda, tbh

> The characterization in this story is probably my favorite I've ever done

> The cover of Kill The Lights is light (representing a sort of light hearted innocence), but the cover of Swan Song is dark (representing a heavier, darker feel)

> Jace's dad was originally supposed to come back during the story

> I never intended for it to turn into a sequel; I considered leaving Mitch and Jace broken up for good

> The last name Marion came from me happening to see my copy of Warm Bodies when trying to come up with a last name

> Jace was originally supposed to go to college with Will (and Misha) 

Swan Song

> Rio and Mitch were originally supposed to be a couple

> Hank wasn't supposed to become so important to the story, and was named after Hank Greem (he happened to pop up on my Tumblr when I was trying to name Rio's brother)

> Rio was supposed to get Mitch into trouble because of his reckless personality, but he shaped into a better influence as I started writing him

> I almost didn't get them back together

> Jace's dad was supposed to show up (but, again, I didn't like the idea) 

The Love Square

> Colin was originally supposed to be an only child

> I originally wrote this to promote GSA groups, but changed my mind

> Originally, Ant's dad was supposed to be a deadbeat (not just straight up dead)

> Collie was named after the crazy dude from Desperation by Stephen King 

> Zane was supposed to play a bigger role, but I just sort of forgot about him (oops)

He's My Dork

> Misha and Collie weren't supposed to be together, but I wrote this from fan demand

> Misha is named after Misha Handley

> Originally, one of Misha's exboyfriends was supposed to be the antagonist of the story

> There was originally a scene where Collie's dad hits Misha

Let The Games Begin

> I just really wanted to use the name Jakey

> Cameron was named after Cameron from The Downtown Fiction

> Jakey and Skylar originally weren't supposed to get back together

> There was originally a scene where Cameron forces himself on Jakey, and Jakey flips out at him and goes to Seth (who later attacks Cameron)

> There was originally a scene where Jakey's parents run into him and pretend they don't know who he is

> When I first started the story, Jakey and Skylar were only supposed to have been dating for 2 years

Take A Chance On Me

> I wrote all the odd numbered chapters

> I did not write the second half of the first chapter

> We chose the bitchiest sounding names we could for Tate's friends (plus we just really hated the name Eric, tbh)

> The story was developed through an overwhelming amount of emails

> I accidentally made Tate too Evan-like in the first chapter 

> ...I have no idea what happened to Mike, tbh

 Closets Are For Clothes

> Originally posted on Quizilla

> I only wrote it because I had seen a lot of boyxboy posted and wanted to see what that was all about

> I was going through the embarrassing "I'm a 14/15 year old kid in tight jeans and bright shirts" phase, please do not judge me too hard ;-;

> Andre originally wasn't supposed to exist, but I wrote him in for drama

> Owen and Pierce were originally supposed to be friends with benefits

> Originally, Max's friends weren't supposed to support him when he came out
