Hey all, and welcome to my realm of fanfic. :)
Ready for
a history lesson? (Here's the plus: if it bores you to death, you can click the BACK button on your browser, lol.) Most of
the fan fiction here is about the Backstreet Boys. If I decide to write about anyone else, you'll know. :) I became a
fan long, long ago...back when "All I Have To Give" came out. I didn't even know what they looked like, but I loved (and
still love) that song. I can honestly say that the first line changed my life for the better. Of course, at that time, I liked
"that group that sings that 'All I Have To Give' song" and not "those really hot guys that sing a bunch." I still love the
music most, mind you. I'm just a bit more of a dreamer now.
I became more of a fan when I started seeing them everywhere.
When "I Want It That Way" came out, I was totally hooked. So, I logged on to a site called http://www.backstreet.net (they
were once the Backstreet Bible). I found news, interviews, and pictures galore. In short, I found Backstreet heaven. ;) Soon,
I found a link to a story called "Now I Can See That We're Falling Apart." I clicked, read, and cried. I didn't think much
of it, because I'm generally a softie :), but the story was extremely touching. A few weeks later, another link to a piece
called "A Chistmas Story" arrived on the site, and I visited out of curiosity. Ten chapters had already been written, and
I was dying for more.
To make a long story short, an addict was born, lol. By now, I've read so many stories that
I can hardly remember them all. Most of my favorites are linked. The authors are incredible; there are some really
talented people out there.
Eventually, I got a chance to see the guys in concert. They're incredible performers. The
way Nick interacts with the fans, the way Brian makes faces at anything and everything, the way Kevin looks on like the amused
older brother he is, the way AJ has such presence that you can't help but be in awe of the man, and the way Howie seems so
humble and yet so proud to be standing on that stage affected me more than I care to admit. :) Mostly, though, I was impressed
by the love of music that seemed to radiate off of them, and the way they SANG. They came off as five normal guys in a larger
than life (no pun intended, lol) situation.
THAT sparked my interest, and I began getting ideas for stories. Take
five beautiful faces, five talented people, and five incredible musicians...darn it, who WOULDN'T start dreaming? One idea
stuck with me, and I wrote it down.
Everything on this list is a result of what all of those endless hours of daydreaming
and mindless typing have done to me. I'd like to thank the guys for letting me use them to work out my own problems, to dream
up drama, and to just imagine. They probably won't ever know, but they've made my life a heck of a lot more interesting. ;)
There, I've said my piece. Explore and enjoy. :) Happy reading!
