Oh, I wish we could go back to…

Hey!  What an exciting week it’s been in the BSB fandom!  A new Vegas residency announcement, an appearance on Today, a Millennium 2.0 album to look forward to, a brand new song to listen to on repeat now, and a live performance on the SNL 50th Anniversary concert that had a whole room full of celebrities singing along to “I Want It That Way” last night.  And, if all that wasn’t enough, Nick dropped what appears to be his new solo album cover and title earlier today.  Stages!  I love it and can’t wait!  With so many bad things going on in the world, we desperately needed some good news and something to look forward to, and our Boys delivered, like they always do.

I was especially glad to see Kevin come out of hibernation yesterday.  Between bowing out on random BSB appearances and not posting anything about his beloved Chiefs playing in the Super Bowl, I was starting to get a little concerned about him.  I was hoping he was just taking a break from social media and turning down standalone performances that required flying across the world right before Super Bowl weekend, but his absence was starting to trigger bad memories of June 2006.  I’d rather relive the trauma of trying to score tickets for the Into the Millennium Tour than have Kevin leave again.  (And it looks like I’ll be doing that in a few days… yay!)  It was such a relief to see all five Boys together again.  Backstreet’s back, all right!

I’m also back with another chapter of The World Will Be Waiting!  Chapter 69 is up.  This is the last chapter I’ve finished as of now.  Chapter 70 has been an interesting challenge to write, but I’m almost done drafting it, so hopefully I’ll have another story update in a couple of weeks.  In the meantime, I’ll be back this Thursday with my next Throwback Thursday blog, which will focus on the birthday boy, Brian!

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!
