Kevin is totally jealous of Joey, I love it. It's kinda hot actually lol. This is getting interesting.... Can't wait to see where you go with all this :)
Author's Response: I'm so glad to see you interested in the plot movement of this story. It's definitely my own little guilty pleasure story, so I'm glad to see interest in it. In fact, I'm actually thinking of writing more on it this summer... If I can just find the time!

I love that Kevin was giving them the stink eye lol. I can bet any money he and Emily will have some tension when she goes back to touring with BSB.
Author's Response: Well, of course :)

I never liked Carson lol he was a douche on TV. I always thought he didn't really wanna be there talking to all those teenagers and stuff all the time. This was a nostalgia trip for me because I grew up in that time period and trl was so iconic for us.
Author's Response: That's why I submitted this story for the challenge-- the nostalgia factor.

Emily and Joey make a cute couple. I
Like how youve written him, he seems very sweet. I think that's how he is in real life even though BSB fans like to say he's a jerk.
Author's Response: I actually have a friend who knows him very well, and he is kind of like that in person from what she says. Too bad about the comments he made about the BSB earlier in the summer. I think he kind of got on everyone's bad side then.

OOH Nsync - I am really excited to see where you take this now that they are thrown into the mix. The date with Joey was pretty cute. He wasn't my favorite but Lance was haha. I was a fan of both as I believe I mentioned before. I never read a Fanfic with them included before so this will be different.
Author's Response: Glad you're excited about the N'Sync parts of the story. Most aren't. Haha

It's nice that you included Brian and his heart surgery in here because it adds something extra. I like when people use real life events in a story like this because it makes it that much more realistic.
Author's Response: I always to follow the actual Backstreet timeline in my stories and include some real events. I think it makes the stories a little more believable.

"Don't push it Kevin" made me laugh lol. I am sorry about the narrarator comment, I was tired and not paying attention lol but I appreciate the explanation. You're
Doing just fine. It was me that confused myself lol.
Author's Response: Ha! I had no idea what you were talking about with the "Don't push it, Kevin," so I had to go back and read this chapter. And don't apologize for a little con-crit! I think the POV thing does get a little confusing.

I've never had an asthma attack but I did have an allergic reaction to medicine and it felt like my throat was closing on me. I had to go to the ER and couldn't breathe. It was pretty scary. Poor Cassie. You did a great job with the descriptions here as well.
Author's Response: While I don't consider this story my strongest work, I do think I do a pretty job with my descriptions as I read back over it (I'm reading just bits and pieces as you go along so I can remember what is happening when you review). Thanks for noticing! I've noticed that in my more recent work, I've gotten a little lax with the description in some chapters. Thanks for reminding me what I used to be good at!

Wow the emotion in this chapter was very well written and I really respect Kevin for not doing that with her. He's right she needs some time to deal with Danny and maybe he needs some time too. Great chapter Emily!
Author's Response: This is one of my favorite chapters I've written across my fics, actually. Thanks!

It's nice that her family is so supportive of her even if her dad doesn't seem to be.
Author's Response: That is such an important thing in life in general. I'm one of the lucky ones, family-wise.

Oh no poor Danny! I like that Howie comforted her. You don't see much written about Howie in stories so it is nice that you're including him :)
Author's Response: One of my favorite things about this story is that the guys who don't get a lot of starring roles in fanfic are among the main characters.

I must admit sometimes it is hard for me to figure out who is the narrarstor because it changes between people in the chapter halfway sometimes. I am following it okay once I figure it out. So much for my hopes of Danny causing drama lol but I like that he and Emily are open with each other and it is a nice trait.
Author's Response: To clarify, the narrator is always "Emily," unless it's a scene she isn't in. If she's not in a scene, the narration goes from first person to third person, if that makes sense. I think this was one of the weaknesses of the story-- the POV. I liked the voice of first person here, but I didn't feel like I could put her in every scene, so switched over to third person. Would it have been better off putting her in every scene so the POV never changed or writing the entire thing in third person? I really don't know.

Oh and now enter another obstacle. I kind of hope jealousy rears it's ugly head or something lol. Nice pace so far, hoping we get into some good stuff soon.
Author's Response: Danny's going to be a big part of the story, even though you've already seen his fate, I believe. He "comes back" so to speak, later on.

I think Kevin is kind of in denial that he is falling for Emily because of his feelings for Kristin. Should be interesting when she shows up eh? Bwahahaha. I love a good drama.
Author's Response: Thanks, Tracy! Kevin does make his feelings about this known to Emily later on-- whatever they are.
