I am a One Direction fangirl, fangirl



I’m sorry My Zoo and Masterchef, something has come along that has engrossed me so much that almost everything else in my life has fallen by the wayside. If it wasn’t for my job I almost certainly would spend all day everyday indulging in my new addiction. 
I have now become completely involved in the world of One Direction fan fiction. This is stories written by fans of One Direction, the stories consist without exception of a love story between one of the members of the band and a young beautiful girl. The stories blow my mind, they are bizarre, incredibly detailed, elaborate and most importantly hilarious. 

It is unbelievable the imagination that the girls that write them have, I will give you a brief overview of the most recent one that I have just finished. Spoiler alert so if you are planning to read Get out of my head – a Liam Payne love story I suggest you skip this next paragraph. 

The love story is between Liam and Louis Tomlinson’s sister Meghan (Louis is another member of One Direction for the uneducated). The spark notes of the story are as follows, they meet, Liam likes Meghan, Meghan has a boyfriend, they start flirting and almost kiss, the band and Meghan go to the beach where in an attempt to impress Liam she jumps from a cliff and starts to drown, she is pulled out by Liam who then administers CPR until she starts breathing again, she then falls into a 3 day coma (where Liam stays by her side while her boyfriend doesn’t show up) she is released from hospital and Liam cooks her a romantic meal,  Meghan feels guilty and goes to her boyfriend’s house, finds out that he has been cheating on her with somebody else, she goes missing, is found by Liam who carries her home. They go to Madonna’s house party (haha) where Liam tells Meghan he likes her and they kiss. The next day she is kidnapped by her ex boyfriend who insists they get back together and when she refuses throws her from the car and leaves her in a park. She is found by Liam again and the decision is made that they should all get away for a bit so they all go camping, while camping they make their relationship official but Meghans boyfriend shows up demands she return to London with him. She refuses so he pulls a gun on Liam, Meghan says she will go with him but he still attempts to shoot Liam, Meghan moves the gun so it misses him but hits a car which explodes seriously injuring Anthony (Meghans Ex) they then go to hospital where the police tell them that Anthony will go to prison for attempted murder. Liam and Meghan are free to be together and it ends with him giving a personal performance of the One Direction song That One Thing.

All of this happens within the space of about 6 weeks! I haven’t even mentioned everything, there is about 4 chapters when she gets mobbed and almost beaten up by jealous One direction fans. How could anyone survive such an intense set of experiences, I would almost certainly need to be hospitalised. While the stories are hilariously extravagant my favourite thing is how they are written, you can completely tell that it’s a 14 year old who is imagining themselves as the leading lady, and they try to make it feels so real with incorporating Alan Carr interviews and the Nickleodeon kids choice awards, so they can pretend the story actually could happen. They get so involved in the story that they don’t even care about spelling or punctuation, and the language has to be read to be believed.
Here are my favourite quotes from that story;

‘I smiled back at her and continued to change myself. I pulled off my shirt and I forgot what great shape I was in, not to brag or anything, but I felt great.’

‘There was only one thing I could do. I had to perform CPR. I didn't have time to think about how great it would be to put my lips against hers. All I could think about was reviving her.’

‘The most popular song in the United Kingdom was on. It was 'What Makes You Beautiful'. I got up out of my seat and quickly walked out of the shop. I couldn't stand to hear Liam's angelic voice at the moment. ‘

‘"Just leave me alone! The boys will never like you if you keep acting like brats!" I yelled. I know it was a bit harsh, but they had pushed me to the limit’ – I love how she thinks that was a bit harsh!

‘I'll admit, I did miss her. I missed her body against me when we made out. I hadn't made out since that one day with that one blonde which was yesterday! I needed action, now.’

The last quote is from the point of view of Meghan’s ex, not Liam, Liam is a good boy. The problem for me now is that I know far too much about the band for a 23 year old, for instance when Liam doesn’t drink in the story I know that’s because in actuality he only has one kidney and when they go Nando’s it’s because it’s Niall’s favourite restaurant. I feel if I continue to read the stories I will eventually end up writing one. If I do write one I’m pretty sure it would be epic. About Niall and a girl, we’ll call her Kacey Stones, a psychology graduate who travels with Niall in order to make sure he is coping with the pressures of being in such a successful band and as they get ot know each other they fall in love.

JOKING!! I couldn’t handle the pressure.
