Yay, congratulation s, Steph!
I remember being excited when I read the premise of this story, thinking it was going to be like the old story "Survivor" by Cecilia and J-Kat about BSB competing against NSync on Survivor the reality show. Even though it sounds like a spoof, that was actually a really good story!
But "Save a Prayer" was so much more!! I love the turn it took at the end of Chapter 5; that set the course for the whole rest of the story, and it was amazing!
Rose:
Congrats Steph! I love this story, I too thought it would be like "Survivor" (which was actually one of my faves back in the day). But it was definitely on another level. I love where you took the story. What could've been an easy comedy went to a dark and realistic place and I loved every moment of it!
Carter-Orange:
Thanks so much for featuring me! I really didn't expect anyone to like it, especially with the things I did to them, lol :)
1) Tell us one thing about your story that no one else knows?
It was originally going to be called Battle of the Boybands. I was going to have NKOTB in it for just a couple of chapters, but thought it would be more fun the way I did it :)
2) How long did it take you to write this entire story?
About three months, but I had it outlined from the start.
3) Give us a summary different from the one you have posted on AC, with a few more spoilers to make people tune in.
When the Backstreet Boys signed up for a new reality survival show, little did they know it would soon become more than just a game...they were going to have to fight for survival for real in the ultimate game of life. But who would win and live to tell the tale?
4) What made you come up with the concept of this one?
I like action/adventure/disaster movies and thought it would be fun to write the boys into one. I also got a few ideas watching Bear Grylls.
5) Who was your favorite character in this story and why?
Nick, because instead of being the young foolish one we often read/write about, he's the strong leader in this.
6) You had to know this was coming, who was your least favorite?
I liked all the BSB but I suppose you could say Jordan was my least favourite, LOL
7) Are all the boys in this one? If not why did you choose to exclude them?
All of them are in it apart from Kevin. The reason he's not in it is because it's set around the time that NKOTBSB was formed and as he wasn't a part of that, I thought I should leave him out. I do love Kevin though :)
