"Star Troopers".......clever name.  And making Nick watch as his "brothers" were murdered....I guess the Geneva Convention is not in effect in this universe.

And what a cliffie!  Kevin's reaction was definitely unexpected.

Great update, Mare.

Author's Response:

Glad you liked the "Star Troopers." I was afriad it was going to be  too corny. Yeah, I think it's safe to say that this is a very different place they landed themselves in. Thanks for reading, Pammy. I was starting to get sad no one had reviewed this yet. LOL

I can't imagine how hard it must have been for Howie and Nick to leave Randy and Clara and not turn back when they heard those shots. Nick and Laura - extremely sad. 

But with all the things happening in this chapter, the most shocking was Howie leaving Nick.  Howie left Nick?!

Emotional update, Mare.  I hope we have a quick update next!

Pammy Whammy



Author's Response: Howie was in a really bad position. It's hard to tell what any of us would do in this situation. Poor Howie, believe me he didn't want to do that. Thanks for the feedback Pammy! Hope to have another update out this week! :O)

Thanks to AJ for providing a little comic relief.  And granted, we knew Nick would come back, but your description of him was really creepy and believable (great job, Mare).

I'll need another update to help me unwind if I have another long week like this first week of school!

 



Author's Response: Uh oh, take it the first week didn't go so smoothly then? LOL I'm hoping to have another update by next weekend. You know how it goes now that school is just about to start. I'll try my best to keep up regular updates, in fact I might even try to write a little bit tomorrow. Thanks Pammy!

I am so glad for the update!  I think this AJ is very realistic.  I see it as a culmination of all the fear and frustration he's feeling.  Now, the idea that he has "gained" some of the traits of the AJ of this current universe is interesting.  And I find myself asking some of the same questions as AJ: will the others "gain" traits from their counterparts? and what of Nick? is his "double" still alive? and if so, does this explain Nick's illness....two Nicks sharing the same plane of existence?  (Can you tell I'm a sci-fi fan?!)

I am really loving this, Mare.  It's so very different from anything you've written before!

Keep up the good work!

Pammy Whammy



Author's Response: I really have enjoyed writing AJ in this story. For some reason he's been the easiest to channel lol probably because of the alternate universe and alll lol I am really glad you're enjoying this and that maybe i'm doing sci-fi some justice. Thanks for reading Pammy!

I tend to always see Howie as more protective of Nick than Kevin.  It has been odd to see him so ambivalent in this story.  I get the "fight or flight" impulse; and it makes me wonder what I would do in his situation.

Our Nicky is really having a rough time in this universe!  I really hope the guys are reunited soon.

Once again, thanks for the update, Mare.

Pammy Whammy



Author's Response: In a lot of ways I think he's more protective of Nick as well. I think just when Kevin is he's ore blunt about it lol Thanks for the review Pammy! :O)

Okay....I'm falling behind!  The Boys can't seem to catch a break, here! So is this the point of separation?  Sorry for the late review, Mare.  But again, good job of weaving this tale!

Pammy Whammy



Author's Response: Yup, this is where the boys all get separated at the beginning of this story. It's okay, we're all pretty busy these days. I just appreciate the fact that you are reading and giving feedback when you can! :O)

I knew the other Nick being alive would have ramifications for this Nick!  But, yeah, the Boys are back together!  Now, the idea of having to kill Nick....any Nick....is a scary proposition.

As for the chapter length, I say go with what works for you.  I will keep reading either way!

Thanks for the update, Mare.

Pammy Whammy



Author's Response: Yup, poor Nick. Thanks Pammy!! :O)

Thanks for the update, Mare.  I love the fact that regardless of how "dark" a chapter is, you usually are able to supply some comic relief.  I loved the Nyquil story by AJ.  I was just talking to a colleague this week and telling her how one of my cousins would give her child Benadryl to get her to take a nap.

I keep going over the chapter title with this one and I don't think AJ's secrets are really dark.  I just think that the future looks a little bleak.

Again, good job, Mare.

Pammy 



Author's Response: I almost went with Benedryl lol I struggled with the title of this chapter. I admit I just liked the sound of it. LOL Thanks Pammy! :O)

Awww jeez! 

Mare....you ended this in just the right place to get me coming back for more!

What a tension filled update!

Pammy Whammy



Author's Response:

Thanks Pammy! That was my goal, to try to keep people reading this thing! We'll see if it actually works so far i'm not really sure. lol

I am so glad they couldn't kill the other Nick.  And for his father to be a Judas....that was a surprise.  One would think his mother would betray them!  Now, what's going to happen to Kevin's Nick?

Great update, Mare.

Pammy Whammy



Author's Response:

Sadly, I could see his father doing that as much as his mother. Aww to Kevin's Nick lol THanks Pammy :O)

Mare, Mare, Mare........

I did not see that one coming!  Granted, I thought we would see the other Nick again since he escaped death, but not like this! 

OMG......I'm a little twisted myself since I loved this unexpected development.

Pammy Whammy



Author's Response:

Yay! I'm all about surprising people and lmao at you enjoying poor Nick's pain! Thanks for the feedback, Pammy! :O)

I did not see that coming!  But, it's been a realization for a while now that both Nicks could not live.  But . . . . wow!  Mare, you never kill the Boys!  I'm so shocked and so proud!

Happy New Year!

Pammy Whammy



Author's Response:

Thanks, Pammy! I knew he was going to die since the first word was written. Happy New Year!

Sorry I'm so late with my review, Mare.  But, here goes!

Can I just say oh Brian, you're breaking my heart.  Very well written, Mare.  And I like the conversation between alternate Nick and Brian.  It's seems very realistic. I'm glad  Brian didn't flat out forgive because he is grieving; yet, hearing about the similarities of his own alternate allows Brian to keep the door open.

Good job, Mare.



Author's Response:

No problem, Pammy. I'm grateful your reading it. I'm glad you liked the conversation between Nick and Brian. Also happy to know it sounded realistic :)

Date: 04/08/12 Title: Chapter 45: Epilogue (A)

Mmmm....somehow this is a fitting in....poetic in a way.  Nick of Bizarro World shares the fate of his brothers; while BSB will not continue without their Nick.  But I was surprised by the "time travel" aspect of this.  Good job, Mare.  Now I'm off to read Epilogue B.

Pammy Whammy



Author's Response:

Thanks, Pammy! Yes as morbid as it was, it seemed like the only fitting way to end things.

Date: 04/08/12 Title: Chapter 46: Epilogue (B)

*APPLAUSE*, *APPLAUSE*, *APPLAUSE*

In the previous epilogue, when Howie thought it was his Nicky returning, I thought what a twist that would be.  But it makes perfect sense to me....they haven't taken off yet, so Nick isn't dead.  I knew you really couldn't kill our Nick!  Well, not permanently.  Again, good job, Mare.  How you manage to keep this straight in your head, I have no idea.

Pammy Whammy



Author's Response:

It was tricky figuring out a way to keep Nick alive so going back in time was the way to get around that. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing all these years! I have greatly appreciated it! :O)
