I met Julie actually not from feedback though I did give it lol, but through the offer to join in Code Blue. She needed people to help her write it and I figured...why not? Cause my collab whore days were in full swing and I thought it'd help me improve. Julie and I clicked and then that grew when this forum was born :). Like you with Chaos, I fangirled mentally when I first started chatting/writing with her. Because by that point I'd read Broken, loved it, and was just like ommmmg haha.

Thank god for Code Blue! :)  That is so strange to think of you "fangirling" over me LOL, but I'm flattered!

Oh the memories!   I remember Bria's site!  There was this story there where Kevin ended up with custody of Nick and maybe Aaron after the rest of the Carters were killed in a tornado, I think.  I remember crying my eyes out because Kevin dies....and now I can't remember the title.   >:(  And how could I forget Julie's site.  I think I read my first, non-slash, fanfiction story there.  Again, can't remember the title, but Nick follows Brian after he sneaks out one night and ends up kidnapped and beaten.   Wow, I was really into depressing myself!  :crazy:

LOL Depressing stories were always my favorite too!  That story is still hosted on my archive site!  Living in a Nightmare: http://www.dreamers-sanctuary.com/hosted/nightmare.html

I have seen the name Whitney being brought up by a lot of you and  I can definitely remember reading some of her stuff. I'm pretty sure she wrote my favourite bus crash story (Again, I can't think of the name).  ???

Where Can We Go From Here!!!

I think that girl Bria also wrote a story where Nick was impaled by a pole? LMAO is that correct?

KeepThisSecret (We need your name because I hate referring to you as that lol) Where Do We Go From Here is that Whitney story and it's a classic! Still the best bus crash/singing Nick out of a coma story that exists! LOL

I remember how intimidated I was by having to ask people to be hosted! Especially when I was turned down by a few of them. The BSB attorneys didn't want someone they had never heard of on their site, for one. Luckily Izzy and Julie gave me a chance. Of course I had no idea that Julie was only in like middle school at the time lol

If Bria had one about Nick being impaled on a pole, I missed that one!  The only Nick-being-impaled-on-a-pole story I know is Remember Me This Way (not Rose's, but the other one).  http://www.geocities.ws/imaginefanfic/RMTW.html  If I find out there is more than one, I will crack up!  Impalement FTW!

Aww! LOL  That was actually the summer before my senior year of high school, so I was not THAT young!  I thought your stories were great!  Mizpah was so creepy.

This is making me want to check out the old_archive account again LOL I wish I had been allowed to continue that before Geocities shut 'er down.

There are still ways to get some stories off of Geocities.  Archive.org, reocities.com, oocities.com, geocities.ws.. . all have archived versions of some Geocities sites, but whether they'll be there or not depends on how popular they were.

We should take a moment of silence for Geocities, btw.  That's where my first site was hosted... and actually, I stayed with Yahoo until just last summer.  RIP Geocities.  Gone, but not forgotten.

I'm so glad we got some of those classics posted. No Eboni though or Jennifer or Mersey.

I am still so annoyed that she never posted Finding Brotherhood on this site. I kept telling her to post it but she never did. lol I loved that story!

Finding Brotherhood is still online, if you want to add it to the AC Archive or something.  http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/mersey/fb.html  Guess you should ask Mersey first, since she's still around.

I have one of Eboni's stories hosted on my site, too.  Don't Want to Lose You Now: http://www.dreamers-sanctuary.com/hosted/dwlyn.html

Given everything it's really weird to think about! Lol I just knew you were a great writer and I wanted to be that good.

I do remember you telling me how you used to read Mizpah while cleaning computers but for some reason, I thought you were in junior high lol I'm glad I was wrong about that. I'm pretty bad with ages in general. It's a numbers thing with me. I have a number block!

Too late. :(

Maybe when we are getting ready to hit our 200th stories!! lmao

It's not the accessing Geocities as much as it's remembering what to look up :P

But yes, RIP Geocities. My first site was also hosted there!

Oh man I had many incarnations of a site over the years!

Everyone needs to google their penname and BSB fanfic and see what comes up bc I just found myself listed on a LJ page about disability fics LOL I was trying to remember the name of one of the sites and finally found it on backstree.net.

"AlliHave Contains a lot of fanfiction by three different authors (Karen, Julilly and Hills) including the infamous Ataxia and What a Crazy World. Site also has media, pictures, skins, and so much more!"

That was me! I also had another one before that but I can't recall the name at all. IYH I think was the acronym lol

I remember Vaffel, vaguely.  I don't think I ever posted or read anything there, but I've heard of it.

I just tried googling my penname and BSB fanfic, like Julilly suggested, and while my site was the first to come up when I used "Julie," the first page that came up when I tried "rokofages75" was my old account on Quizilla!  Anyone remember Quizilla?  I thought Quizilla was long dead, but apparently TeenNick has revived it.  I made several fanfic-related quizzes on there.
