Awwww this was really sweet. I loved the idea of the locket, poor Nick. Not surprised Kevin knew about it, who else would Nick go to first? :)
Author's Response:
Of course he went to Kevin first because he's all kinds of awesome! lol Thanks, Rose I'm glad you liked the whole locket idea.

Really touching chapter Mare. Yeah Leslie isn't really ever mentioned since she passed, Nick probably doesn't want to bring up family drama. I hope he does have someone to talk to and I'm sure Lauren was very supportive of him, I'm a fan that is happy he has her to lean on.
Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response:
Yeah, I'm the same when it comes to Lauren. True, I guess the last thing they need is Carter drama lol Thanks, Kim!

Ohhhh man this broke my heart a little. I can totally see him being like this about Leslie, especially seeing how emotional he was at my nyc show in February. He did care a lot for her even though they weren't close. I really loved the story of Leslie's locket and how it ended up with him....how Kevin knew about it. It was really sweet. I think Nick is still struggling with her passing deep down even though he puts on a happy face for us...and the farting was classic Nick. great update Mare.
Author's Response:
Yeah, I agree. I think it's so odd that she's never brought up in interviews or none of them ever mention it. I mean it was only six months ago. I remember when Howie's dad died and his sister and heck even Kevin's dad who died long before they got popular, they always came up in interviews. I just wonder if it's Nick who just refuses to talk about it or why that is. Either way, it's sad. I had to end with a good old fashioned fart! lol Thanks, Tracy!

I awwwed at Kevin being all protective of Nick going jogging alone. Sounds very Kevinish. I love that Kevin was commenting on all the guys singing and how they've grown so much. BTW the chapter cuts off at a weird part for some reason, maybe it's a glitch? I wanted to read the rest :)
Author's Response:
I just checked the story on the site and the whole thing showed up for me. Maybe it's a glitch with your phone? I just realized I responded to your feedback from this chapter on my last response lol so I'll go backwards and say thanks! I'm glad you found it funny. I love writing random, ADD thought process Nick! Thanks, Tracy! Hope you get the rest of the chapter to load for you. If not let me know & I can email it to you!

LMAO I had to stop reading halfway once I got to Nick's part. Actually I liked AJ's random comments and the banter between everyone was pretty funny. I like how they were discussing milking Kevin, and how Nick kicked Kevin under the table. Nick's thoughts killed me completely, about zombies and wanting a tuna melt. Brian saying Leighanne being proud of him was funny as well. I laughed through this whole chapter :)
Author's Response:
Thanks, Tracy! I felt like it was important to mention the vocals because of Brian's lack of good ones and I really think it would be Kevin who notices the most since he's been gone. Glad you enjoyed the over protectedness of him. I missed that most of all!

Loved the new chapter! I like when you write from Kevin's perspective! Hmmmm I see Kevin has commented on how the others are singing but what do the other's think of Kevin's singing? I hope he gets some solos on this album, he has my favourite voice!
Looking forward to reading about the Sunday roast in the coutryside!
Author's Response:
That's a great question! Maybe I'll have one of them address Kevin's voice. I'm with you, I love his voice. Thanks, Kim!

Lmao. Ah, good ole Howie. I've discovered at shows recently (like last 2yrs) that he is quite humourus. He totally cracks me up - lol.
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~Lenni~
Author's Response:
I agree! I went bowling with Howie quite a few years back and he was pretty hilarious lol thanks, Lenni!
Date: 07/24/12 03:44 am Title: Casa De Backstreet Boys-ah
Adorable and funny. LOL at Howie calling Nick's singing parts haha
I'm still amazed at how you manage to write things that no one else would write about them and yet have me nodding and saying 'yes, I can see that happening' all the time, like what you wrote about Howie being funny and making them laugh mocking interviewers... never considered it before and I really see it happening now. Right now, for example, I'm completly sure that Brian is the worst coffee maker hehe
Keep going please, I could keep reading this forever :)
Author's Response:
Aww thanks! I really think he's like that, Howie and I guess all of them since I wrote them that way in the first place. LOL Thanks, Maria! And i'll respond to your email tomorrow! :O)
Date: 07/24/12 01:30 am Title: Casa De Backstreet Boys-ah
Awwwww! I loved this one! It was the perfect mix of sweet and hilarious. I loved Howie's little comment at the end, lmao and how Kevin said it was always Howie getting them going in interviews. I could see that being true. Loved Kevin's dig at NKOTB too, haha! I'm sure he would have to be heavily medicated to want to do it again. I also laughed at this line "Kevin is not being a naggish buttinsky." hahaha! And also the part where Kevin figured Nick was too much of a heathen for Brian to invite him to church, lol. Great job Mare :) Loving this!
Author's Response:
I almost named this chapter The Naggish Buttinsky lol so i'm glad you enjoyed that! I know I'll need to be heavily medicated if they do another NKOTBSB thing! And I can completely see Brian picturing Nick as a heathen. hehe Thanks, Steph!

You know it's weird,I always see those breakfast burritos in like commercials for,I think sonic,And they always look gross to me but thanks to this story and things ive been reading on A.J.'s twitter page,I want one of those burritos really bad! lol Anyway this chapter was really cute,And I especially like the last line about them being family,Because it's true,They are and they have always been,Or atleast that's they way it seems to me.Great Job!Can't wait for more!!
Author's Response:
LOL I have never had a real breakfast burrito myself. I wrap some egg whites and turkey bacon into a torilla wrap and call it a breakfast burrito but I would like to try a real one some day. I see them being a family too. Thanks!! :O)

Loved this one!! So many thoughts, I don't know where to begin. LOL at the running joke about Kevin's coffee being better than Brian's. And at finding AJ's nail polish all over the table LOL. And at Nick looking like he's either going for a jog or robbing a bank, and at Brian not inviting him to church because he's too much of a heathen LOL. And Howie claiming his singing parts if he gets kidnapped by psycho fans! And Q being AJ's lover! And Kevin's ghetto fab voice (yes he can have one of those too!) And Kevin needing to be heavily medicated in order to do NKOTBSB again! LOL I love the way you write Kevin; his thoughts crack me up. People forget that Kevin really does have a good sense of humor; it's just a lot more subtle than Brian, Nick, and AJ. Howie does too, and I loved your thing about how Howie's the grand instigator that gets them all giggling during interviews. I can so see that LOL. Loved it!!!
Author's Response:
LOL thanks! I really enjoyed writing this one! I can totally see Howie being the main instigator behind a lot of the giggling. He's a sly one, that HOwie D and I agree, I think Kevin has a great sense of humor. I'm really trying to bring that side out of him in this story and I have MISSED writing as Kevin! *kicks Kevin* I really think AJ and Q do have something going on and of course Kevin will hate working with the New Kids because I am willing him too! Thanks, Julie!!
Date: 07/23/12 11:44 pm Title: Casa De Backstreet Boys-ah
LOL I totally aww'd just before I saw the line about awwing, which cracked me up. I like Kevin's acknowledgement of Brian's vocal issues. Cause of course, Kevin's the one who'd either say something or take note to mention it later. I also loved the line about needing to be medicated around New Kids, poor Kevin LMAO. I can NOT see him ever being okay with that.
Author's Response:
LOL awww you awww'd! Yeah, I'll be really curious to see how Kevin deals with the whole New Kids thing, I'm sure he's not happy about it and yes, I can completely see Kevin dealing with Brian's vocal issues. Hope that really happens as well! Thanks, Rose!

LMFAO I loved the zombie musings from Nick. And then him yelling "CDC!" and then trying to explain them by talking about foreign frogs. Great chapter, I like how you shifted to all five in this one for the meeting.
Author's Response:
I figured you'd enjoy the Nick part with the zombies and his random foreign frogs talk lol thanks, Rose!
Date: 07/22/12 07:10 pm Title: The Business Meeting
I loved this one with all five! I actually especially loved Kevin's part, where you really dove into what he's like, and how the fans saw him as overly serious and were very quick to jump to conclusions. I definitely think that's true, and I really love how you portray the boys and their many different layers. Honestly, when I'm reading these I nearly forget that they're fiction, haha. Fantastic as usual, mare! These are such a great companion to all the photos/tweets we're getting while the boys are in London. Thank you so much for writing them! :)
Author's Response:
I'm so glad it plays as real, what a great compliment! A few people have been saying they forget this is only a story which is so awesome to hear lol the guys have been giving me great tweets and pics to work with, I mean come on, hanging out at a park together and then going to see Batman? I almost can't keep up. Thanks, Steph!! I'm so glad you're enjoying this! I plan to have the next one out by Wednesday! :-)

Roflmao. These guys are crazy, even during meetings - lol. I ove Nick's random thoughts.
UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
