I think my favorite part of this story so far is the fact that Nick is dead and the idea that the friendship he and Nick have is so deep that it surpasses death to the point that Nick appears to only Brian, who is then super-compelled to find the murderer. Plus, their conversations made me chuckle, even though it should be sad that Nick's dead LOL

Can you please, pretty please update?

Congrats Julilly! I actually haven't read this one, so I'm going to have to try to squeeze it in this month sometime.

[mare]

i'm going to read the first chapter tonight and i'm excited about it!

[mare]

Yay, just got done with the first chapter and here are a few of my thoughts.

First of all, I love how you started the story with the guys at the beach celebrating Nick's life. I have to give you props for making Leighanne likable, something you know by reading my stuff, I have a hard time doing lol

Her thoughts about Nick and Baylee were very cute and real. I could see her saying those things.

lmao I also loved the 'I am having a Coke' line by AJ in the middle of Brian's meltdown. It's so AJ! Great job!!

I already knew it was Nick who was dead but if I didn't I would have been guessing between Nick and Kevin. You did a great job at leaving everyone hanging until the very end and also throwing in there the fact that it was a murder.

Now i'm sad to know this story isn't finished so you better get a move on woman!! l thought it was for some reason.

Okay so after reading chapter one here is my first Oprah question to you!

What made you decide on killing Nick for this story? And at any point did you consider any other combination? Like AJ and Brian or Kevin and Howie?

[julilly]

Woot, Oprah question time!

To be honest I only ever thought of Nick being my killed-off character. First I knew that of course it would be harder for the guys to lose him since he's the youngest. I also knew that my Nick would have a bit of innocence and be a bit naive, but would be willing to accept the way things were. I think if I had made it Kevin or AJ, even Howie he wouldn't have suited the personality, he would have been more of a go-getter, probably more determined than Brian (or whomever). The character I had in my head was hesistant, and a bit unsure, and that was more like Nick to me.

[julilly]

Just to let everyone know... I have already started the new chapter, so I've at least started to make the effort lol

[nicksgal]

Congratulations! *throws confetti*

I may read this.... I'll have to sit down and test it at some point.

Ok, I just read the first chapter too and ditto on AJ's coke comment! I also loved the part where he "politely" told Brian to get over it. I think that's totally necessary in a lot of cases and I'm sure that in a group of that many, at least one of them would be thinking that. It makes sense to me that AJ would be the one to say it.   I also love how you've written Brian here. I can tell he's really going to go through a lot in this story and I'm excited to see all the turns this story will take.

You started of with a very emotional bang and I love that. That's not easy to do a lot of times because we haven;t had the time to become invested in the story or the characters yet, but somehow you used the emotion to make us invested in both. It was like you forced us to feel the emotion in the situation. Brilliant!

Seeing that there are only 12 chapters was kind of a bittersweet feeling for me lol. Sad because I'll probably get through all 12 of them fairly quickly and then be left waiting for that update you mentioned in the previous post (good for you btw) and at the same time I was relieved because I know I'll have the time to catch up this month and hopefully get to that super awesome, freaking hard challenge Mare posted. 

Congrats on story of the month hun! I'm really looking forward to the rest of this fic!

[mare]

^ oh yes! I forgot to mention that Line where AJ tells Brian to get over it. I agree, that's important and once again I think it fit AJ the most to say it.

I love when people discuss things as they read

And I am purposely going to go nice and slow knowing there are only twelve chapters. I guess my next question, one i'm afriad to ask, is how many more are left to go? In other words, how far from done are we? lol

[julilly]

I have just begun writing the kickstart to the climax actually. I've never really been one to draw things out and have really long fics, all of mine are fairly short, I think this one will probably be the longest. There are 10 chapters left! So I'm barely halfway through.

[mare]

AHHH!! lol I guess Anal Mare will have to go into action with the bugging you to update thing then!

[julilly]

You never know, it might help! lol

[mare]

Excellent, then chapter 13 is due by the end of next week! lol

[julilly]
