Here's an interesting one that someone asked me once that I thought was fun.

On a scale of one to ten, how realistic do you think you wrote the Boys? Like do you think you characterized them differently than they are in real life or do you think you hit the nail on the head?

Someone asked me that about my STDFB story once and I remember laughing so hard that they'd ask that about that particular story, but I've always thought about it in other stories I've written.

LoL Wow that's a tough one...I think for the sheer fact that Nick hopped on the marriage bandwagon in WTB so quickly that I'm going to have to say a 5.5 or 6 out of 10 (I don't think he could be THAT much of a Prince Charming -- he's a man after all, lol).  But it's easy to see that Brian and Nick are the biggest goofballs with AJ a close third.  Howie's so straight-laced and I think Kevin has his funny moments but he still remembers to act his age.  :)  I would also say my realistic portrayal of Aaron is about a --5, haha.

I know it's already August, and I don't particularly have any questions but where has Babies and the Band gone to? I just wanted to read it since I pretty much have a lot to catch up on, but when I clicked on the link in my Favorites list, it said this: "Access denied. This story has not been validated by the adminstrators of this site." Or it must be my internet or something else happened.

I don't know if this is the proper topic to ask this but I'm desperate lol!

I went to post chapter 42 or 43 this morning, there was a fatal SQL and babies and the band disappeared.  I only have the first twelve chapters backed up.  I'm waiting for an update from Julilly who contacted Chaos.  Unfortunately the server backup was scheduled a half hour after the story was lost.  Not sure when the last time the server was backed up.  I MIGHT have to rewrite, so stay tuned.  No matter what those first twelve chapters will be back tonight...and people should then probably reread anyhow but I'm sure events are going to change slightly ::sigh:: I'm hoping someone has a backup SOMEWHERE

Aww I'm so sorry to hear that. :( It's good news twelve chapters can get back up. I reaaaally hope everything will be okay and you don't have to rewrite, (or at least not that much) not for my sake, but for yours 'cause I've experienced it once that tons of chapters of one of my fanfics just disappeared out of nowhere and I had to rewrite them, but I was too pissed because the forum was deleted without any warning. It SUCKS when you have to rewrite. So, really, I hope all will be okay.

I just saw Babies and the Band back, I'm happy it's at least back on the site!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

I ran home at lunch and painstakingly worked to get Chapter One posted.  Scary thing was that I got another Fatal SQL error when I tried.  I was even on a computer that's WORKING.  I'm dying because some of my more spontaneous chapters occured between 13-42 and I can't remake that stuff up if I TRIED.  I feel like a whiny little kid today  :-[
