Hrmm, i'm not sure if there's anything overly secretive about it. What people might not realize is that I got the title from the unreleased song Memories? There's a line saying oh I... I'd do it all again but it sounds like Why and I thought that would make a great name for this story. I'm usually not big on taking lines from songs and making them into titles but I did it this time.

See, that's interesting, because I always thought you got it from Just Want You to Know LOL. I know that line from Memories too; I guess I've just listened to JWYTK a lot more. I always sing that line to myself when I see your story title LOL.
mare:
How odd. I didn't realize it was in JWYTK lol

I do the exact same thing, I start humming JWYTK lol.
So Mare, the direction you took definitely was the Paris route, but I personally did think that was a huge part of the NG story because that was big, and it threw Nick into a light that many had never seen him in, running second to a bigger star and then being accused of horrible things.
I'd have an oprah question but I gotta hurry to work, but I will have them later, promise!

Congrats Mare!!! This is one of my absolute favorite stories!
starbeamz:
Yay for this story! And yay for Mare letting Rose and me be co-Oprahs for the month ;D
Hmm...those are all very interesting answers. Initially, I was convinced that the title came from Memories but then I heard that line in JWYTK..and then I was all confuzzled, so thanks for clearing that up :)
Okay, so my first Oprah question: I know you're not the biggest Brian fan and I personally think you did a great job portraying him in the story...but was it hard for you to put aside your personal bias and write from his perspective? Or do you think that parts of your annoyance with him in reality tended to sneak through in your writing?
lol That was a rather long-winded question, but I hope it makes sense. I just remember being curious about that after I found out that he annoys you often. It's probably an awful question but I'm just getting started on my Oprah-ness, so forgive me :)
