Throwback Thursday #3: Top Five Favorite Fanfictional Couples

It’s finally February, and with Valentine’s Day coming up next week, love is in the air! So is smoke, fear, and hatred from the recent wildfires, plane crashes, and political upheaval here in the United States… but, since this is a fanfic website, and we’re all here to escape the hellscape that is the real world, let’s focus on the love. For my third Throwback Thursday blog, I’m featuring five of my favorite couples from my fics. While I’ve never considered myself to be a true romance writer, many of my novels do include romantic subplots. The original theme of this blog was going to be “favorite romantic chapters,” but when I realized that my top five might all come from the same story, I changed it to couples instead to ensure more variety. As I blog about each pair of characters, I’ll also include a link to one of my favorite romantic chapters that features them.

In a world like this…

…it’s nice to have a hobby to distract myself from the horrors of the real world.  My writing hasn’t been going particularly well for the last week or so, but I officially hit three straight years on my writing streak last week and am still plugging away on The World Will Be Waiting!  Chapter 68 is now up.  It starts out sweet and then gets a little spicy, so enjoy!

Throwback Thursday #2: Top Five Favorite Fanfictional Nick Roles

I’m back with the second in my series of twenty-five retrospective blogs to commemorate this site’s upcoming twenty-fifth anniversary in April! A couple of weeks ago, we celebrated AJ’s birthday with a blog about my top five favorite fictional AJs. Since Nick’s birthday is next, it only makes sense to do the same for him. So here they are, my top five favorite portrayals of Nick!

Better late than never!

Sorry I’m a day late with this, the first story update of 2025!  I should have posted last night while everyone was mourning the temporary ban on TikTok, but alas, better late than never.  Chapter 67 of The World Will Be Waiting is up!  This is the first of two chapters that take place on Valentine’s Day, so, for once, I’m actually pretty timely with my holiday updates!  What’s sad is the fact that I was writing the Christmas chapters last January, which means that I only covered a couple of months in the story’s timeline in a year of writing, in which I wrote every single day. 🤦‍♀️  This is why my stories get so long, you guys, LOL.  But I hope you’re still enjoying this one.

I’ll be back on Thursday with the next in my series of 25th anniversary blogs!

Throwback Thursday #1: Top Five Favorite Fanfictional AJ Roles

Happy New Year! It’s officially 2025, which means Dreamer’s Sanctuary will celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary in April! To commemorate this milestone, I’m writing a series of twenty-five retrospective blogs about my favorite characters and moments from my fics. And, in honor of the birthday boy, my first blog is all about AJ!

While I’ve written a handful of AJ fics over the years, AJ usually plays more of a supporting role than a starring role in my stories. He often serves as the comic relief, cracking jokes to lighten the mood during otherwise dark, dramatic moments. I love writing the relationship he has with each of his Backstreet brothers and exploring the good person behind his “bad boy” persona. With that being said, here are my top five favorite portrayals of AJ!
