That's crazy!" And I thought, oh naive me... An update day is the best!

LOL! We were all so young and innocent, and Mare was so wise. I've been sticking to the weekly updates pretty well since coming back from my unofficial hiatus/slump two years ago. Sometimes I'll update more often if I have a ton of chapters banked or have finished the story and want to post the rest. The only reason I haven't started doing that with Bethlehem yet is because if I stick to my schedule, I'll be able to post the last chapter on Brian's birthday. And that will probably be my last update until summer, when I'll hopefully have enough chapters of something written to start posting it.

I luckily do not get many people asking me to write stuff on demand, but I did have to block a girl on Wattpad like a month or so ago because she kept inboxing me asking me to write a story about her and Brian or Brian and a disabled fan that fall in love. I politely told her that I don’t take requests and she wouldn’t leave me alone, so I ended up blocking her.
I also had someone ask me for a story about JC from NSYNC one time too. I’ve written crossovers but I don’t write straight up NSYNC fan fiction. the most I’ve done is them having cameos. I told her again, I don’t do requests. LOL that would be like me saying hey Julie write another story about Nick killing me because two wasn’t enough and I want him to kill me again xD

I don't think Mare said she used an update day either, it was just one of the options in the poll, haha.
You've gotta stick to the update days to post it on Brian's birthday! Then you got 3/5 birthdays while posting.
I could definitely do more frequent updates, since I have 22.5 chapters written. However, my paranoid self knows that I am prone to slumps, so I would rather have a bunch in case I hit an inevitable slump.
Since Bethlehem isn't your first weekly update story, how do your regular readers react when you go from weekly to nothing?

That girl is persistent! I probably would have blocked her too if she kept refusing to take no for an answer.
If an NSYNC fan ever asked me to write something, I would laugh. I obviously have zero qualms killing them all and definitely made almost all of them into aholes. You can absoliutely tell how I felt about each member of NSYNC in 2006.
Can you have enough stories about Nick getting his revenge on the same fanfic authors? I don't think you can.
mare:
Update days were an essential part of my posting. I always used them. My readers always knew when I was going to update and what day it would happen for each story. There were times, which I still can’t believe, that was updating multiple stories at once and had a day for each one. Not even just a day but usually a time as well. I was/am pretty schedule oriented lol
