If you got the same name on the page as in the forum I will have a look at them tomorrow :) (since now I already need to go to bed again since work :( .... )

I just quickly had a quick look at one of them... the first few sentences were already well written :)... I will look some more tomorrow then

@mare: I understand that and I hope I find someone too.... it was easier in the HP fandom since I was there before book 7 was released and it was FULL of people ;)...

Mistral:
Yes I have the same name.

RokofAges75:
I understand the frustration with lack of reviews.  I have no complaints about the number of reviews I get on average, but I have been there before.  As Mare said, most people start out getting very few reviews (or sometimes none) and build up a reader base slowly.  Some are lucky enough to post a story that becomes a hit right away, but that is not the norm.

As far as your story goes, Sin, it looks interesting, so I would like to give it a try when I have more time to invest in it.  Personally, I have just been really busy lately and haven't had a lot of time to sit around reading fanfic.  If it were summer, I probably would have read yours by now.  (Several of us forum regulars are teachers, so this place tends to be more active in the summer when we're not working.)  I'm a Brian girl, and I haven't seen a full story about his vocal issues that, so that piqued my interest.

I will say, though, there seems to be a bit of a Brian backlash around here lately, so that might be another reason why you're not getting reviews - and obviously, that has nothing to do with you personally or your writing.  The Brian stories I've posted in the last few years haven't gotten many reviews either, compared to what my other stories typically get.  The site is very Nick-dominated - lots of Nick stories, lots of readers who only want to read about Nick.  But that's all the more reason to keep writing Brian stories - we could use some more of them! :)

FrickingKaos:
I like the story so far. Will read it more tonight :)

Sin:
@RokofAges75 Teachers? hahaha :) now  I can't help but imagine you guys sitting with a red marker on my story ;)... But yeah from what I know school schedules in US are quite different from here, where you only have one big vacation, where here school got several 1-2 weeks and in summer 6 weeks...  

I perfectly understand it... I don't work as a teacher, but in a Call Center for a bank (in shifts since we are 24h available)... I find a hard time reading as well unless it's weekend... I can read when I'm in a tram, but in the tram I can't comment, because I just hate writing on my smartphone. and since this week I will only have 1 day off I won't be able to write anything till end of september really....

and about that Brian hatred... I noticed that too and feel weirded out by it, since I don't understand the reasons. I mean many people seem to have problems with his family, dunno. They say he is egocentric.... I dunno I don't see this things and feel like people are interpreting too much into tiny things. I mean Nick is the one with the second reality tv docu about him... that's why I love tumblr :D there my whole dashboard is always full of Brian :D

*shrugs* My story is about both Nick and Brian... I wondered if pairing them up is the problem, since there seem to be very few stories on the site that romance them with each other... and it seems like some people left already (or gave up at least) cause their Nick/Brian romance stories rarely got reviews.

Well I do romance them with each other.... simply because I like the genre romance/drama and I think they make an intresting pairing... (and sry with pics like those I gathered on my page http://thinkaboutnessaja.tumblr.com/search/Frick+Frack I just have to write that kinda story xD)

But let me say it like that I would rather write a story only about Brian, than a story only about Nick.

@ DelphinaCarter: I am so happy, that you reviewed my story *smiles* And I hope you won't be put off by the romance stuff :O....
