Double the Nick, Double the Fun!

I try not to be one of those writers who begs for feedback, but I do respond to begging!  Thank you so much to those of you who have signed up for the site and started commenting on my updates.  I really appreciate that!  Just knowing people are reading and wanting more motivates me to update more often, so it’s a win-win for everyone! 🙂

Chapter 20 of Sick as My Secrets is up, as well as Chapter 110 of Song for the Undead!  Both are Nick chapters.  One is angsty, and the other’s actually quite fluffy – I’ll leave it up to you to figure out which is which.

Enjoy!

“…that I called you.  Trying to pick up the pieces of my life…”

Hopefully you know what this means:  Chapter 19 of Sick as My Secrets is up!

If you’re enjoying this story, please consider voting for it in the Double Rainbow Awards!

Speaking of Rose, she is hard at work on the next Song for the Undead chapter.  We are almost done with that story, so I hope I can keep alternating updates between it and SAMS until the end!

Happy New Year, Nick

Look at that, updates three days in a row!  It’s starting to look like a triple rainbow!

I’m going out of town tomorrow, so I figured I better post Chapter 18 of Sick as My Secrets first so I don’t leave you hanging too long.  Enjoy!

You know you’ve made it when…

…you find your website linked in an article as an example of die-hard fandom.  The article “Scientists Accidentally Turned a Man Into a Johnny Cash Fan With a Brain Implant” starts as follows:

“Whether it’s a tendency to write Moby Dick-length works of fan fiction starring the Backstreet Boys or simply loving a piece of music so deeply that you listen to it on repeat, everyone can relate to being a die-hard fan.”

And look what website the words “fan fiction” link to… THIS ONE!!!

I’m so flattered by the mention and amused by the description.  And it’s totally true!  I actually looked up the word count for Moby Dick out of curiosity (205,052 words, apparently), and I have several stories that are the same length or longer!  Namely Code Blue (214,046 words), 00Carter (248,682 words), Curtain Call (264,205 words), Broken (300,658 words), Song for the Undead (347,941 words), and, of course, By My Side (817,774 words).

Good ol’ BMS is actually longer than any novel on that list, including War and Peace (587,287 words).  So next time someone asks you if you’ve read Moby Dick or War and Peace, you can say, “No, but I’ve read an even longer novel.”  You don’t have to tell them it was a Backstreet Boys fanfic; that’ll be our little secret. 😉

One of those super-long stories, Song for the Undead, is even longer now that Chapter 108 is up!  It’s a short and sweet chapter written by Rose.  We hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for reading, especially those of you who have made it through that many words of mine!  That’s dedication!
