Hello!

Well it's the month of December which by all accounts is the busiest month out of the year for most of us, so I thought i'd go with a story that the author isn't always around, to see how it goes. Maria knows that I picked this one for the month and she's going to be dropping in from time to time to answer questions and comment (I hope) so we'll see how it goes. If it works we'll be featuring more stories where the author isn't always here all the time.

The reason I picked this one, besides it being requested by a few people on here is because it's been only one of the very few sci-fi stories that has ever managed to hold my attention. It's not complete but I hope that Maria will gain some motivation by being featured this month.

I hope you guys give this one a chance. :)

So here's the link to the story:

Happy reading and enjoy!!

1) Tell us one thing about your story that no one else knows?

2) How long did it take you to write this entire story?

3) Give us a summary different from the one you have posted on AC, with a few more spoilers to make people tune in.

4) If you could cast this story as a movie who would play the main roles and why?

5) Have you ever thought of giving up on the story and if you did what made you continue to work on it?

6) What was your writing process? (Outline, make it up as you go along, the characters wrote it, I am Tonja and plagerized lol)

7) Who was your favorite character in this story and why?

8 ) You had to know this was coming, who was your least favorite?

9) Are all the boys in this one? If not why did you choose to exclude them?

10) If we like this story...then we'd love what story? (Could be by you or someone else) and obviously tell us why lol

Oh yay I love this story!

*Sci-fi dork*

I want it updated soooooo bad lmao. Between Nick and his powers, and AJ's darker side inside him and his heritage in this story, I'm antsy for a new chapter. And it still holds the brotherly bonds and personalities they have as the real life BSBs but it's incorporated into the sci-fi futuristic world which is pretty neat.  ;D

Shame on you both for not having read this yet  :P

Then again the last update was in 2005 lol. It's good to see a sci-fi being featured though. There's not enough of those out there in BSB fanfic, especially good ones like this.

hehe I wrote a si-fi once... kevin's head exploded. It was fun. I'm sick lol. I love si-fi too but I've never read a sifi fan fic so I'm interested to see how this one goes. I will be really sad if I fall in love with it and never get to read an ending though, *cough* Julilly needs to update *cough*  so hopefully Marina will want to work on it since she's featured.

(but I have  32 chapters to get to before I get to that point so You have some time hun.)

Being twisted is fun! I...well okay, Nick killed Julie :D. You've never read a sci-fi? *GASP* That's tragic.

Marina must update. And yes! Julilly DOES need to! *goes to poke em with sticks*
