Oops....in that long and rambling review I submitted, I neglected to mention that I'm not surprised that Kevin and Howie would look out for Nick.  But I also wouldn't be surprised if AJ noticed the "looks" that Lou gave Nick.  The question is: would this be a topic of conversation when AJ and Brian arrive?

Author's Response: Hrmm this is going to be the real challenge for me in this story because once AJ and Brian enter i'm not sure what's going to happen. I don't see this conversation coming up again though. Maybe, we'll see.

Wow....very thought provoking.  This chapter was a really good character study of Nick.  Mare, you really do a great job of explaining the "flaws" of your characters. 

Author's Response: Thanks Pammy! :O)

"but before I could think about it, he plopped Gigantor into my hands. The thing was Sumo wrestling me, I swear it was." - I was laughing out loud!  Mare, I love your Nick's internal thoughts.  Whether those thoughts are funny or serious, they always produce a reaction from me.  It was also touching that Kevin only calls Nick "little man."  I think that's a testament to their relationship. Another great chapter.

I'm loving Nick and Kevin's time together.  Now, I'm like Kevin and a little worried about AJ and Brian's arrival.  Another good chapter, Mare.

Author's Response: Aww thanks Pammy. Next chapter is Just Brian and AJ so it's a real departure for me. We'll see how it goes lol

On my way to see the Boys on the Never Gone tour, I told my friend I thought AJ wanted to be Brian. I was wrong. I think AJ wants what Brian has....the wife, the baby, the career and making it all work.  Brian and AJ seem like such an odd couple! Brian, though at times could be goofy, is usually calm and grounded. AJ, on the other hand, appears to be larger than life. (No pun intended.) But what really had me thinking after reading this chapter was AJ's silent comment of "I took your Frick."  I have to disagree with AJ on this one.  I don't think he took Brian away from Nick; I think Brian distanced himself from Nick.

Well, enough of my rambling.  Again, good chapter Mare. Schools been back in session here for two weeks and we have tomorrow off....yeah!

Author's Response: Thanks PAmmy. I think you're right about Brian which is why i'm having a hard time with him and his self righteous attitude. I do think they are hanging out more now though since Nick has his act together.

Come on Brian....you're not perfect!  I think this conversation between Brian and Nick has been a long time coming.  And really....this HOC thing with the blurred Brian....really bad form Bri.  Nick really should get everything off his chest. Great update.  I'm looking forward to the next installment.

Pammy Whammy



Author's Response: Thanks Pammy. I had fun creating their conversation but at the end of the day, they still didn't actually solve that problem which is kind of funny because I never intended that to happen. It's like their conversation to a turn and started writing itself. Thanks for always sticking by my stuff and I am going to work on Scars soon. :O)

A good ending to another good story.  I'm glad that Nick didn't have a really big epiphany; but, with the change of scenery realized some basic truths about his life and his "brothers'" roles in his life.  Once again, good job Mare.

Pammy Whammy



Author's Response: Thanks Pam, yeah I didn't want him to have this life altering moment. I just wanted it to end nice and simply. Thanks for always being one of my faithful readers!

Nick or Kevin.....Nick or Kevin.....what a problem to have!  Liked the story.  Really liked this take-charge Nick.  Now, where can I find this song?

Probably the first BSB group fan fiction I ever read.  This story set the standard for what I still look for in a BSB group fic.....the wonderful Backstreet Bond.

I love the sweetness of the story.  However, I think I read it years ago.  Can that be true?

Author's Response: It very well could. It was posted on Tango's Backstreet Obsession, AGES ago, back when Slash was still considered very taboo. I posted under a different name then.

Not every story has a happy ending.  I love this line.  It would have been so easy for you to have Nick "recover."  After all, this is fiction.  I'm so glad you didn't.
 The realism and emotions in this story always kept my attention.  At times, it was a difficult read and brought tears to my eyes and at times some joy and laughter. 

Thank you for such a wonderful story.

Pammy Whammy



Author's Response: Awww thank you! And you're right, it would've been, which was exactly why I didn't want that to happen. It wasn't the easiest story to write sometimes but I wanted to go there without cheapening the story by having him recover. Thank you so much! :)

Guilty Roads by RokofAges75 Rated: R [ - ]
Summary:

It was the fall of 1999, and the Backstreet Boys were in the midst of their sold-out Into the Millennium tour, when Nick Carter went out for a late night walk on the town. His biggest worry was that he would run into fans, but instead, he crossed paths with real danger. What he witnessed that night would forever change his life, and the Backstreet Boys would never be the same.

Noooo....not my Kevin!!!  I love the cliffie, Julie.  You have done a wonderful job of building up the suspense.  I am anxiously awaiting more.

Author's Response: Thanks, Pam! I'm glad you're liking it so far... I appreciate you taking the time to read and review! I'll have another update for you later.

I love you! Welcome back to writing! I'm a sucker from Nick's point of view because it's always interesting to see "hear" the thoughts in his head. I can identify with Nick. It's funny the things you think you hear or hear when you're alone. Now, the twisting of the doorknob coming from a locked room.....a little scary. As usual, Mare, you have done a great job of building suspense. I will anxiously be awaiting more.

Author's Response: Thanks Pammy! I know I always think I hear someone coming up my stairs when i'm alone. It's scary!!!

Creepy dream....or.....terrible memory? Was Nick adopted as a child? You have me hooked, Mare.

Author's Response: Glad to hear that!! :O) Thanks Pammy!

With each dream, a little more is revealed making this mystery so very tantalizing for me.  For Nick....not so much.  I loved the dream sequence where Nick is, figuratively, two people... Andrew  and Nick. Mare, I am always impressed with your characterizations; they always pull the reader into the story.  I am anxiously awaiting the next installment.



Author's Response:

Thanks so much Pammy! :O) I hope I won't disappoint you! By the way i'm updating Scars tomorrow! LOL
