Dreamer's Sanctuary

…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!

Chapter 17 of Sick as My Secrets is up!

Thanks so much for the comments on the last update.  I’m glad you guys are enjoying this one!

Sorry it’s been such a long time (my fault), but Song for the Undead has been updated with Chapter 107!  We’re winding down to the end here… only a few more chapters to go!  We hope you enjoy!

I’ve got a double update for you today!  Chapter 16 of Sick as My Secrets is up, and it’s a big one!

I also wrote a new part for 1000 Ways to Kill Nick Carter, called “The Hands That Feed the Ones Who Plead.”

Enjoy!

I’m finally done with my summer classes, moved into my new house, and back online with Chapter 15 of Sick as My Secrets!  There will be more where this one came from soon, I promise!

In other exciting news, as you may have seen above, Sick as My Secrets has been nominated at Rose’s Double Rainbow Awards, along with a couple other of my stories.  Thanks so much for the nominations!  (Also, for those of you who are signed up to receive email updates, my apologies for the email that came about the nominations – which, if you actually read it, were last year’s.  I had an old post about nominations that I put back up to update to the current ones, and it was automatically sent out as an email like a regular update.  My bad!)
