I'm still mad about them not doing ALL of Passionate LOL.
Honestly the NKOTBSB tour was fun but not something I ever want back. That said, even though I love having Kevin back I do think Nick grew a lot as an artist during that time so, in a way it's good those albums happened without him. Not to mention some real gems came about then like Downpour, Undone, This Is Us (the song), Unmistakable, Everything But Mine...not to mention unreleased songs like On Without You and Trouble. I also wonder if the Boys would've broken down that wall between the fans without Kevin there. Like that's when VIPs started, that's when the cruises came. Who knows?
But NKOTBSB brought back 10,000 Promises and If You Stay and had Nick singing Raspberry Beret so, it had it's good moments too.
I agree though that rearranging the classics can really backfire. Sometimes it's good - like I enjoy when Nick does that sort of thing with his solo songs. But other times no. As for set lists, I'm over them ignoring Unmistakable and In A World Like This, and This Is Us with the exception of Undone. We like those songs too!
The DNA tour did a good job trying to include some deep cuts. I live for It's Gotta Be You coming back and I Wanna Be With You.

NKOTBSB was my favorite tour. It made me a NKOTB fan. It was my first time meeting BSB in person
So many good memories from that tour.

My ideal BSB concert, like I’ve said many times before, is just two or three hours of them sitting on stools and singing their songs. Preferably a cappella. No background dancers, no special effects, no opening acts or costume changes or choreography (maybe just the famous ones like Everybody) and no collaborations with other groups. Just them and a small band backing them up.
My favorite concerts are the kind where I don’t feel the need to murder people who hold up signs and stand on their chairs screaming at the top of their lungs when I’m just trying to enjoy the music. Lol

Do you set out thinking "I want to write a story about Kevin and Nick"? Or do you come up with an idea and then cast your characters based on which boys would work best with it?
In the case of my current story, I was inspired by the song "Take Care." The minute I heard that song, I was like, "Oh, this is a hurt/comfort song waiting to happen." I "cast" Kevin based on the lyric Nick sings: "You... you've always stood so tall. I never thought you'd fall. But now it's you that's fading." That description fit Kevin best, so from then on, it became a Kevin & Nick idea.

When I wrote, I tried to do my best to make almost every story a Group story. Giving them as much equal time as possible by alternating chapters for each boy. The reason I did that was because I wanted to make sure that no matter who you considered your favorite, they would be equally featured in the story, thereby having people want to read it regardless how the plot ended up going. In that aspect I was a very one trick pony and most of my stuff was Nick centered but by the time people realized that, they had already invested their time in it lol
I believe the only story I ever wrote which didn’t include everyone was Fly Fishing and I knew from the get-go it was going to be a Kevin and Nick story. I felt most comfortable writing in their voices so it was a no brainer for me. The biggest issue with that one was just trying to figure out why. I almost revisited the idea of having them compete on Amazing Race but I knew I’d have to do too much research on places and I was far too lazy to do that so I went with something I could totally see Kevin doing which was fishing.
I have written stories where each one of the boys took center stage. The hardest was Howie, which was also the worst (Sorry Howie) my most popular though was Brian ironically lol
