1) Name of the story you read and the author and what you feel the genre is. Your answer might be different then the authors. "Stockholm Syndrome" by Julilly. The genre is obviously AU because they are not Backstreet Boys in it, but I could also see it listed under Drama and Suspense.
2) Would you have ever read this story if it wasn't a challenge? Eventually I think. I've wanted to read some of Julilly's stuff for a while, so this challenge kind of pushed me to it since I'm not much of a reader.
3) What was your favorite scene? I really liked the scenes where Nick stood up for himself against Brian and AJ. The scene with Nick and Brian in the guesthouse towards the end was really good. I also liked the quickie scene as well.
4) Who was your favorite character and why? Obviously Nick because he's the guy you're rooting for basically from the beginning because of how sucky his life has been and how his "friends" treat him.
5) Overall tell us one reason why you think someone else should/or shouldn't read this story. If they don't like AU stories, they won't like it because it's very AU, but I think people should read it because it's very well written and it's not what you expect from a BSB fan fiction... Nick Carter really isn't the real NIck Carter in it by any means at all.
6) Did it convert you to the genre it is? Would you be willing to read another story just like it? I think so and yes I think I would.
7) Give one piece of concrit that might help the author for future reference. This can be positive too, concrit doesn't always mean negative. I think how the thoughts jumped from one character to the next, like from Nick to the girl, sometimes got to me, but that was really the only thing.
8) Does it suck? Stick out tongue No really, I'd like the person who reads it to tell me if, even as an AU that is pretty far out of range for typical BSB fic, if they were still able to properly picture the Boys in their new roles. Yes, I can still see the boys in the roles and I kind of like Nick in the vulnerable role!
9) Would you recommend this story and author to another person? Why or why not yes, because I liked it!
10) Out of 10 stars what would you give this story? 9.5
11) Do you think after you are done reading what's there so far (and you only have to read however many chapters are there when the start of this challenge was given) Do you think you will continue to read the story through to the end to see what happens to the characters? Does it suck? Stick out tongue No really, I'd like the person who reads it to tell me if, even as an AU that is pretty far out of range for typical BSB fic, if they were still able to properly picture the Boys in their new roles. If there is ever a sequel, yes, I definetly would read it, but the story was complete.
------
Overall, I really enjoyed the story. I kind of had a feeling that Nick would fall for the girl once the other guys made him their bitch and had him watch over her. I loved the fact that some things were thrown in, such as the girl starting her period and Nick having to improvise on that. I thought the way that the guys used Nick and then ended up stabbing him in the back by not letting him be a part of the company was really well written because for them to exclude him really came out of left field for me and took me by surprise. I loved how at the end, Nick was the hero and because he didn't have a job with the landscapping company, he wasn't a suspect.
It was really good and didn't suck AT ALL! <3<3<3
