I miss being social with my BSB friends. Even though I'm not really writing anymore, it would still be nice to keep the discussion going. Is anyone reading anything good or writing anything they want to talk about? I know people tend to get busy but it's been beyond dead for too long.

I'm with you on that mare! I have some new chapters/stories on the way. 

[KeepThisSecret]

I'm around! Well, I'm around at the moment anyways. LOL

Things are crazy busy with Christmas coming up, but I've actually had a few minutes to sit down and start on another story. I think the fact that AJ has been all over the Toronto media this week has given me some inspiration as he keeps mentioning that the boys are going back in the studio in January. 

I'm hesitant to post the first chapter of what I've written though because I don't want to post and then take FOREVER to update. I feel as though that's being mean to people who are reading.

I agree that this place needs some action though! I'm really in the mood to get back into writing more consistently, but I need some activity around here to keep my spirits up.

[mare]

Glad to hear you're writing again! I don't think anyone even bothers to check this forum anymore. Hopefully during the Thanksgiving break, this place will come to life? lol

Thanks for starting this thread!  I admit I haven't been on the forum in the past week or so to see it.  I've had a cold/flu that turned into a sinus infection and am finally feeling better, but for the last two weeks, all I've done is come home from work and lie on the couch in front of the TV.  I finally found myself with a rare weekend of no obligations, no homework or schoolwork, and no reason to go out because it snowed today, so here I am!

I really haven't been too involved in fanfic lately, obviously.  I started re-reading Between the Lines on my way to Orlando in October because I was in a baseball state of mind, but other than that, I haven't been reading any fanfic or writing any either.  I have felt a slight urge to write a couple of times lately, which is a good sign, but I haven't yet worked up the energy to act on it, which is not.  Lately I just feel like as soon as I would get back into my groove, I'd get too busy again to keep it going, so what's the point?  I agree with what Erika said - it seems mean to start updating, then stop and disappear again, so that's why I haven't been posting the few chapters of Sick as My Secrets I still have hoarded from this past summer.  I want to wait until I'm writing with some consistency to start updating again.

I'm glad some of you are still writing though!  And even if you're not, it's always fun to chat here about fanfic or the Boys or whatever.  It helps to make me feel like I'm still in the loop even if I'm not actually reading and writing much.

I hope you're feeling better. This wacky weather is making everyone sick. I have a random cough, just waiting for it to turn into something gross just in time for break. 

I have had a tiny urge to write as well lately, but not  to the point that I'd actually do it. I just feel bad for abandoning my Secrets story. I will occasionally get a review asking me for an update. Nick has helped me want to write and seeing the guys together has helped a bit. I just need the drive to want to do it. I never thought I'd turn into that person who never finishes something.

I have had no desire to read anything. Usually that comes first for me. I haven't read anything the last month though, not even real book reading. I'm too tired to do anything when I get home.

[RokofAges75]

I'm feeling a lot better, but everyone around here has been sick too.

I'm glad the guys are helping a bit with your inspiration.  I know the feeling though; working back up to actually writing after not doing it for awhile is tough.  Reading is usually a good first step.

[Carter-Orange]

I've been absent for far too long, I have no excuses (apart from the lack of real computer/laptop).  I'd really love to get back into my writing as I've got a story left abandoned, and I hate leaving things unfinished.  I'll have to make a real effort instead of sitting down and watching TV at the end of the day.

Hope everyone is ok though

[FrickingKaos]

I have had so much going on. I started a Fanfic group on FB. I was sick, then just busy with a ton of stuff. I started writing again though so I will try to come on here more. I miss you guys.

[KeepThisSecret]

There needs to be a way that we can motivate one another to actually write something! HAHA I need the TIME. I've just returned to work after being off for a year with my daughter and I feel like my whole world is now nothing but going to work and hustling back and forth from daycare.

That being said, it's almost Christmas break time! Sooooo maybe more of us will find some time to update during the break?? I'm not gonna lie ... I'm kinda waiting for an update to Sick As My Secrets ...  Also, Mare, if you were to update, I would totally read the chapter!

[mare]

Wow, that would be tough going back to work after a year. I am so burnt out, I hardly feel like I had almost a week off.

Hopefully Christmas break will bring a little inspiration. Doubtful on my end, but we'll see. I do have a new found love for Nick. I need to find my inner love for the other four again. Although Howie is still there lingering as well. lol

[usako]

I'm bad, I know. I've kinda forgotten to come here. *hides away*
It has been a tough year but I've never once stopped writing and, since a few months, I've beginning to actually write stories in English, instead than doing the double work of writing in Italian and then translating. Although, finally, after three years of being jobless, I found a little work to do the next ten days and I'm already panicking at the thought of not being able to write at all. But, well, money comes first. lol

Hope seriously that some of you will get back to writing. I do miss reading and seeing this fandom actually active.

Hi!!!
After the baby was born last summer, fanfic kind of came to a halt for me.  Then, my mother was in poor health (doing pretty well now), and life was just too crazy with a job, two kids, and family health issues to even think about it. I honestly haven't read anything in over a year, and until a few weeks ago I hadn't written anything.  I'm happy to report that I actually have two new chapters written on an unfinished story, but I'm not going to post anything until I'm at least very close to finished.  I've learned my lesson there.  I'm sure nobody will even read it at that point, but it would be nice to finish for myself, at least. 
I did watch Nick's stint on DWTS, and had a lot of fun with that.  Truth be told, I'm not sure why I haven't been watching that show all along.  It's kind of right up my alley (maybe that's sad- haha).  I do pop in here from time to time to see what, if anything, is going on, but I've been pretty silent for a while.

[RokofAges75]

That being said, it's almost Christmas break time! Sooooo maybe more of us will find some time to update during the break?? I'm not gonna lie ... I'm kinda waiting for an update to Sick As My Secrets ... 

That is what I'm hoping!  Nick's album actually gave me a burst of inspiration which I have not yet had time to act on, but it's the weekend now, so we'll see!

[RokofAges75]

Good to see everyone coming back on here!  I wish more of us were writing, but maybe we can inspire each other.
