Aww now that Dottie, Jen and Reb are back, I am hoping more people will resurface. We need Kelly and Sarah to come back. Maybe I need to write another romance because that's what brought Sarah out of hiding the last time! LOL

Just had to share this!  While filling out the firsts and lasts survey, I looked up an old website I remember reading stories on, wiggycool.com.  The site has been down since at least 2001, but some of it is still viewable through the Wayback Machine.  Just check out the summaries of these hosted stories from circa 1999: https://web.archive.org/web/20000620132132/http://www.bsbfanfic.8m.com/group.html

Click the Nick link at the bottom for even more!  You will definitely notice some patterns.  Lots of girl groups.  Lots of girls moving in next door to a Backstreet Boy, vacationing in Florida, or winning contests to meet the Boys.  Lots of... snow storms, for some reason?  I don't remember that being a big storyline, but apparently it was on this site.  And lots of stories titled "So-and-So's BSB Story."  Okay then. LOL

In short, we've come a LONG way in this fandom in terms of creativity and originality!
