Hrmm you know, I'm not sure if I could. Sadly once Kevin left I have felt disconnected from them. It's like he was my psychic link to the group somehow and now that he's not there and i'd have to write it that way I think i'd be completely lost and yes, I totally blame Kevin for my retirement lol

*kicks Kevin*

"Disconnected".....that's a good word for the way I've been feeling.  I'm such a Kevin girl!  And I love the portrayal of the Kevin/Nick relationship in fanfiction stories. 

And now I need to add another strike against Kevin.....forc ing you into retirement. :'(

^ I know! It's just so hard, because you know for me the easiest and most realistic relationship to write about was Kevin and Nick. Maybe he'll come back someday? lol

    • Could You Do Me Right?

I am having fun commenting back to you on that one. Yes, it would help because when you say great one liner and poor Kevin i'm thinking did I hurt him or slightly maime him in this one? lmao

I'll remember that for next time then. :) I think it was just about Kevin being sick. lol

It's not like they don't have a relationship outside of the group, you could write about that. The guys on downtime visiting, or just work him back into the story as a "brother". Just because he's not in the group anymore, doesn't mean that they don't have brotherly relationship. Nick said in some interviews last year that they saw each other with the new baby, and christmas and superbowl, so they still have a tight relationship.

It was hard for me to write about anything because Kevin and Nick's relationship in the group was inspiring most of my stories. But then I started writing about Kevin being outside of the group, but still being involved with the guys and their lives. I really think he still is, esp. with Howie's Dad's health now, you know he's got be helping with that because he went through that himself. And he's always going to worrying about Nick, based on what we've seen, I don't think he could ever just shut that off. lol

It's a challenge, but it's fun to write it from that perspective too... Basically I'm just trying to get you to reconsider retirement. lmao

I get what you're saying and I do agree with you. I'm sure that Kevin is still a big part of their lives, it's just a part we don't get to see anymore. I was talking more along the lines of the other four. I don't feel that connection. Maybe it's because i'm not really as invested in actually tuning into the newer interviews or watching them together but when I do, I just don't get that 'we're brothers' vibe from them anymore. I feel like when Kevin went away, that did too. I feel more of a separation now like Brian and AJ vs. Howie and Nick. I know that's all about their radio interviews but that's how I also see the actual bonding going.

We'll see though, I am thinking of writing a crossover with Numb3rs and it would be more Au-ish maybe. I just can't see me writing in real time with them anymore. Maybe if I keep the stories pre Kevin leaving or go Alternate universe, but like I said, i'm not really all that into writing long stories about them anymore :( 

I've always come from a semi realisitc and I say semi because *ahem* my stories are far from realistic most times lol but what I mean is as far as what's really going on in their lives. I come from that place. I've never been big on completely making something about them up like a fake girlfriend or fake babies etc... so because of my writing style it makes it difficult to write a present tense Kevin without feeling like i'm making him up, does that make sense? lol That was a very long babbly reply but i'm trying to avoid going out grocery shopping!

LOL YAY my favorite chapter!

I knew I needed some comic relief after all the Paris stupid stuff and I just had this vision of Nick in his room having a hissy fit. Throwing himself on and off the bed etc... and next thing I knew I had him falling out the window to answer the phone and I figured who better than Kevin to be on the other end? lol

Yeah comic relief is a good thing.  How did you find writing the Paris and Nick scenes?  I considered writing a story based around them a little while ago, but I thought it would be too difficult and frustrating.

You know it wasn't so bad because I knew even though she would be in it, I also knew i'd barely write HER in it. It was always going to be more the boys take on the relationship so lucky except for a couple of scenes here and there, I barely had to worry about writing her. It was frustrating though because I hate her but it really was no different than writing Leighanne for me to be honest. It was actually kind of fun writing her as this over the top whorebag! :)
