--- Quote from: RokofAges75 on July 12, 2012, 12:41:16 PM ---LOL Sometimes I have a hard time separating what I read in fanfic from what is real! Like, Kevin calling Nick "Little Man." I've read that so many times, especially in Mare's fanfics, and I know I've used it in my own too, but has he ever really called him that? I honestly don't know if that's an old pet name for real or just a cute fanfic thing LOL.

I'm so glad I'm not the only person this happens to LOL. I think he actually did used to call him that... but maybe now I'm thinking he didn't? I don't know! And going back to Come Together, I've just accepted that story into my Backstreet canon life since I know so little about that 1993/1994 time period lol

I know I used it once toward the end of Curtain Call; I thought of it as I was out on a walk, and it literally brought tears to my eyes, so I was like, "Oh, I have to put that in, even if it's cheesy!" But as far as I know, Mare is the queen of the Little Man thing, and I only came up with that from reading her stuff LOL. When she comes back, she can tell us if she got that from anything or just made it up.
Rose:
Am I the only one who's gonna go crazy trying to remember if the "Little Man" thing was real or a fanfic thing now? LOL

There is a lot of truth in Come Together. A lot of it came from this book: http://www.amazon.com/The-Backstreet-Boys-Official-Biography/dp/0752224069 which I hadn't read when I first read Come Together, but bought later on and was like, "Ohhh, so that's where all that info came from!" It has a lot of great stuff about each other their childhoods and how the group came together. Just goes to show the power of research! It was believable even when I didn't know what was fact and what was fiction, but finding out that a lot of it was based in fact made me appreciate it even more.

I'm sure there are other things besides the Little Man thing too... I'm trying to think of some others...
