I have one but it's not for BSB Fanfic... it's for video game fanfiction.. having a person (aka me) fall into the video game... there are a LOT of those ... it's how people get themselves or yeah someone like them in the game.

The reason the Nick/older lady stories were big is because there are a LOT Of older women who like Nick and wanted a story for themselves... heh!

Seriously though I think at the time the whole inner fan fiction circle were all older (late 20's, early 30's) so obviously their characters respresented that. It was really hard at that time for a younger author to gain a lot of popularity (at least it sure seemed that way at the time) I'm really glad its not like that today. Now I feel like there are a good representation of ages in the inner fan fic circe (which I like to consider is all of us LOL)

 ??? Thats so weird that you've mentioned that because I just read one that involved Nick and AJ marrying women twice their age!!! it wasn't too bad for a story, had a lot of depth behind it , i thought anyways lol.

I'm glad it's not like that anymore.  Some of my favorite authors are older, but there are also a lot of talented writers who are teenagers.  You can't discount anyone because of their age.  I ask for ages when people submit stories for me to host, and trust me, I've seen 16-year-olds who are good enough to be published and people close to 30 who can barely string a coherent sentence together.

those are some good spidey senses. Whis I'd had them before seeing that movie. I didn't have to pay for it, but I'll never get those 2 and however eternally long that movie was hours of my life back.

LOL!  I liked Pearl Harbor okay, but I know what you mean.  Have you ever seen Team America, Kelly?  They have a whole song about how Pearl Harbor sucks; it's hilarious!!!
