Drop it like it's hot! Or... Updates from Dee. :o)
« on: August 01, 2008, 03:53:04 PM »
So, it's been a while and I figured that a new story desrved a new thread away from the dynasty that was PBox. :)

So, welcome to my new story:

The Secrets of Beta Sigma Beta

Summary: It was the fall of 1999; the Backstreet Boys were at the top of the charts and world famous musicians. But, sometimes, it's lonely at the top. Nick Carter begins to reflect on the different paths his life could have taken and whether or not he made the right decision six years ago.

And there's no banner, yay!

So, give it a chance, hopefully. :) And this story has an extra special secret, so I hope everyone will make it to chapter four. :)

First chapter is up!

Contrary to prior patterns, I updated. I'm on a weekly schedule like Mare, yay! lol

And for those of you that are on the fence about reading this story, I give you a tiny snippit of my favorite part of the chapter:

“She invited me to a party.”

“On a Monday? That’s a school night.”

“It’s a college party.”

“Like an apartment party?”

“Something with pies and carps…”

“Pie and seafood? Not my choice of a good meal, even at a college party...”

“Maybe she said ‘parks’…”

“That doesn’t make sense either, Nick.”

“What about pie cans? Like a big party where everyone makes pies from canned pie mix?”

“Like pumpkin pie?”

“Yeah, I mean, isn’t that what you’re supposed to do with jack o’ lanterns when Halloween is over? Mash the skin and bake it in a pie?”

“Oh yeah, Nick, especially the rotted ones! They’re delicious!”

“Now you’re making fun of me.”

“You use the insides of fresh pie pumpkins, Nick.”

“Like you cut open the pumpkin and there’s a pie inside?”

So, there you go! Now you know that you should go read it, because Nick rambles about pie!

There's also this line, which is a personal favorite, "Who cares if Cinderella only got until midnight? Cinderella didn’t go to a frat party." lol

Here's the link in case you forgot. ;) http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9171

Read, read! lol

Well, I realized that I made a typo in the title when I posted that, so I changed that. lmao

But I did change it from "The Pledgeship of Beta Sigma Beta" when I orignially posted that excerpt back in June, if that's what you mean. lol I decided that the title I have now may be more fitting for the story. :)

And yay, another Mare review! *squees and runs to AC*

Just wanted to apologize to you all for not having a Beta Sig update. :(

Moving really takes it out of you!

But don't worry, when I'm (hopefully) ready to update next week, I'll have two updates for you. ;D

So it's like a month later, but I finally updated! ;D

Sorry about taking so long, real life took over writing time. And now I'll go read Richard III, yay! lol

If you're on the fence about reading still, here is my favorite line from the chapter: “Wow, right down to what you’re drinking on Monday nights? That’s pretty exact!” Okay, I lied about her not being anal… If Kevin and I were gay, and were born like thirty years ago and had a love child, this would be that love child.

And here's another good part:

Quote
Plans had changed and I’d ended up closer to the campus than I had originally thought I would be. I shivered as I stood on the corner of some streets in front of a restaurant, “Damn you, cold.” I stared down at my sweatshirt. I’d definitely dressed for the weather at least this once, so why was it being sucky? I’m usually not this cold and I’ll be wearing shorts in Alaska or something… assuming we actually toured in Alaska…

“This is why you get sick.”

Get out of my head already, Kevin. I let out a sneeze.

I could hear him laughing at me.

Seriously, get out of my head. If Kevin weren’t really like that, people would think I was crazy by now.

I sneezed again.

Just for that, I’m totally sneezing on you when I get home, Kevin.

So, yup, read and enjoy. :)

Just wanted to let everyone know that I updated. And before anyone gets upset about this being updated and not other things, this has been sitting on my computer for about a month now, I've just been busy.

So enjoy. :)

I won't post funny parts because that would ruin the surprise. ;)

And yes, the next like four chapters are already on my computer and completed. ;D

I've been having a bad week, so I thought updating again would cheer me up. It was pretty easy, actually, all I had to do was copy and paste. lol

Hope everyone's enjoyed the last two updates. :)
