Hey there!
I have had an extremely crappy month so to make it better I decided to pick one of my recent favorite stories, Children Like Me :)
There are many reasons why I love this one to bits but i'm hoping you guys will read and draw your own conclusions as to why it's so special.
This is the link to the story:
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8302
It's a BSB/Supernatural crossover although you don't have to be a fan of the show to really get this story. If anything this story will make you a fan of the show!
Adorable guys and demons...there ya go!
Mersey is an incredible writer. She's always been one of my favorites, long before I got to know her as a friend. She has an incredible talent when it comes to writing in first person and probably writes one of the best Nick's out there.
So show her some love this month.
As always i'll be in and out as Oprah lol
-
Yay for Mersey!! *throws confetti and blows up balloons*
I LOVE this story, and, Mare's right. You don't have to be a fan of Supernatural in order to appreciate everything that happens in the story. Maybe you'll even turn into a Supernatural fan after reading this...I know I did LOL
Children Like Me is full of awesome suspense with some amusing lines and situations added in (ex: Dean and Nick *wiggles brows* and everyone lining their hotel room windows with salt LMAO) I just love Mersey's writing to pieces, and this is yet another tale that she fabulously spun! Congrats, Mersey!
If you haven't read it....you should!!

And I also have to add that i'm not a big fan of crossovers at all. Nor am I a fan of SN fanfics in general so I admit when Mers first posted this one I wasn't all that woohoo-ish over it but it's done in such a way that you can totally tell it's a BSB fic. The SN boys are there to play into the BSB characters. I think there's only one chapter that's mainly Sam and Dean. The rest are BSB with Sam and Dean if that makes sense?
Also there are a ton of great twists and turns and a few mean cliffies! But at least it's complete so you don't have to wait to find out what happens. lol yay!
-
Yay! One of my recent favorites too. I mean, what can be better than BSB and Sam and Dean together ;D

Now that you mention it mare I think I'm not a big fan of crossovers either. I have never thought about it because I remember having fun reading those Cecilia's BSB and NSync crossovers years ago but now that I think about it, I never go looking for 'crossover' stories.
But you are right, this one is fabulous and it's very Nick/BSB centered so it doesn't matter if you are not a Supernatural fan, you can still read it and enjoy it because it's amazing. And I think I'm in part guilty of that Sam and Dean chap because I kept bugging Mersey to write it after she mentioned something about Dean's impression of AJ and I think she didn't even want to go that route because she wanted to keep it very BSB but I'm so glad I bug her because that chapter rocks too :P and I'm sure that even if you haven't watched Supernatural and don't know Dean and Sam you will have fun reading it because mersey does a great job before that chap allowing us to know more about those two characters.

Gosh Maria, you're still a fledgling? lol
Yes I am :( How about going to every thread and posting this icon -> :P hehe
-
Yes I agree! Mersey rocks!
I guess ;) hehehe

What you should do is write a story in the picture challenge thread! It's Nick and Kevin seriously :) we can't go wrong!

Can it be a haiku instead of a story? I don't see me writing anything longer these days :( lol
-
uh... lol
-
OMG! ok before i forget, Mare, thank you for making CLM story of the Month! I'm glad that fic is completed hehe. And i feel special, like Nick and Sam, so I'm in good company yes?
Thank you for the kind words you girls! You put a ;D to my face. Also, maria's right. I was kind of reluctant to write an entire chapter of Sam & Dean because I'm still not comfortable writing their characters but I enjoyed writing that chapter in the end, and it opened up a lot of doors for their POV in later chaps, which helps the story so yeah, bugging can be a good thing, lol.
Also, I know you had your reservations for this fic mare, you dont want to read a SN fic, you want a BSB fic, which is what i was aiming for, Dean and Sam are secondary characters and I hope i managed to get that balance right. I didnt even want to make Nick a special kid in the beginning cause i thought that was kind of corny, but I remembered Sam’s visions are always connected to the YED and a fellow special kid somehow and so everything clicked into place.
I also had a really proud moment when Sarah told me she had started watching and became a fan and is currently writing her first BSB/SN crossover.
Okay, I want to do a haiku now but i seriously suck at this.
-
You are welcome! :) I meant every word. It's a great story and I get tingly knowing you wrote it got my Bday.

Yes, i need a push to write, and your birthday was it for me. I thought hey, why not? It's a 3M tradition anyways, lets do it! lol. and the big bonus is that you liked it in the end, it would have sucked if you hated it and it was meant for your bday! lol
-
Hmm haven't read this one yet, I'm gonna have to check it out!!! *runs to AC*

LOL aww I would have neevr hated it. I don't think i've ever hated anything you have written. ow if you mailed me a set of toe nail clippers or something... that I would have hated.
I am thinking of some Oprah questions for you, once I figure some out i'll post them. :)
-
Ugh I am the typo queen lately. lol I need to slow my fingers down or something.
Anyway...
here's your first question:
What made you decide to write this fic?
There ya go!
lol

Lol, I actually forgot how I came to writing this fic, I think it’s just ideas that pops up in my head that needed a lot of tuning before I settled on this one. I wanted to make a new bsb short fic for your bday and I know I wanted it to be a thriller/suspense and I was thinking of Prison Break, how while on the run, the boys were forced into hiding and it just happened to be a room where Nick was staying in and he ended up helping the brothers.
And then it went to a scary route and I thought what happened if the Winchesters came one night and told Nick he’s in trouble? That Sam had a vision of him being in danger. But then I remember Sam’s visions are always connected to the Yellow Eyed Demon and it always involve a Special Kid like him (think the kid from ‘Nightmare’, Andy and Ava) so that’s how I turned Nick into an SK himself and then the plot bunnies came and it stretched into more than a short fic and I went along with it and hope it didn’t abandon me half way, lol.
Now why it's a crossover in the first place? lol...i forgot why and its' bugging me, lol.
Yay, I’m so glad I remember this, lol. Thanks for the question mare! I like how a simple question can drain my brain, im such a looney!
-
Hmm haven't read this one yet, I'm gonna have to check it out!!! *runs to AC*
awww thanks for at least checking it out Teri :)

Aww good answer! I'm glad you went the SN way and not the PB way lol
I give you five marshmellows for that answer. :)

*is catching confetti and staying away from balloons*
Sarah, this is such a huge compliment, you and mare and maria really made my day (my month) I couldn't stop smiling and it's a good feeling that i believe every struggling writer deserves, just for writing. and i'll never forget you and your Sam Socks when I think of CLM, lol. Good luck on your papers! Hopefully after that, you'll start writing on your BSB/Sn fic again! I promise to behave and wait, lol ;D
-
Okay I've been reading this story and wow I really like it. It's interesting and completely different from the norm. I love how everything is in first person, I wish I could write first person THAT well. So far I'm loving it Mersey outstanding job definitely deserving of featured story of the month!!

yay! thanks for reading Teri, glad to know you're liking it so far! :D and dont worry, i used to be very uncomfortable with writing first person too, but i love reading fanfics with first person and that helped, a lot!
-
Aww good answer! I'm glad you went the SN way and not the PB way lol
I give you five marshmellows for that answer. :)
yay! *chomps on marchmellows* Stars are way overrated anyway ;)
-
Okay here's another question for you...
Was there anytime while you were writing this story that you changed the plot or went another way then what you had originally planned?
-
yay! *chomps on marchmellows* Stars are way overrated anyway ;)
I'd give you gold stars but they were stolen!! :-\
-

Welcome dear it's much deserved! Yeah i'm getting more and more comfortable with first person with co-writing Sexcapades, that story is definitely liberating and has helped me learn a TON about first person writing.
-
Yay! So I just started this story and I gotta give it up to Mersey! It has me HOOKED. Everyone go read it!!!! Even if you don't watch Super Natural. (I've never seen the show and I'm loving the story.) Props to Mersey! I'm sure I'll have more to say when I'm finished.
-
Yay! I'm glad so many people are giving this one a try.
Okay Mers, I know you aren't usually here on the weekends but I do have another question for you when you finally come online.
What made you decide to give Nick the supernatural powers?
-
^^I've always wanted to know that, too LOL I mean, you could've given those powers to AJ or Brian. Heck, if you'd given them to Howie, that would've made your story go in a whole different direction :P But, yeah...why Nick?
-

Honey, thank you for your reviews and im glad you're liking it so far! and LOL at you and Sarah IMing each other!! Sarah is like SN's new spokeperson i swear! And pls dont let your hatred towards Jason stop you from watching Dean, lol...because i hated Jason too, which was kind of hard at first cause i love the actor, lol. Oh and Sam said, you can always watch his pretty self if you dont like his brother, lol.
-
Okay here's another question for you...
Was there anytime while you were writing this story that you changed the plot or went another way then what you had originally planned?
Yay 2nd question!!!! ;D
Yes i have, quite a lot actually but the main one had to do with Kevin and his unborn child. The main idea had been for Sam's vision about Kristin being killed to be a true one instead of being planted by the demon to lure both Sam & Nick out. But then after hearing so many rumors about Kristin possibly expecting, I decided to change the plot because i know this is just a fiction but i still dont feel comfortable 'dooming' their unborn son. It works in the end i think, i got myself a mean cliffy, hehe.

Yay, another question!!! *is happy*
ok, first of all the fic was meant to be a short one and for mare's birthday and since mare's fav bsb is Nick, it was a natural choice for me.
secondly, i want there to be a connection, something that the guys can relate to the Winchester brothers and vice versa. When I see SamnDean i think of Nick's relationship with the guys, and I think Sam would understand/connect more with Nick being that they are both the youngest and have brother(s) constantly in their shadows (which is kind of funny seeing how both of them are taller than said brother(s)), i like the parallels that i saw while planning it.
I think it'd be awesome to have Brian with the powers too, because personally for Brian, it'd be a conflict of beliefs, it'll test his faith and the outcome in the long run. But i'm hardly the person to touch on sensitive issues like religion, so if i had done that, i know i wouldnt be able to give it justice.
i hope that explains it :D

lol. I know... I don't hate Jensen, I hate JASON. But, like I said, I'm over it now(there are people I hate worse at the moment *coughs* LANA *coughs*) Now it's only a matter of finding the time to rent season one so that I can start from the begining. Seriously though, great job with the story! Looking forward to reading the rest!

Duh me! lol and I love how in the entire story Nick always referred to the guys as his brothers. Never once just calling them band mates or friends.
:)

OMG i hate Lana too! is she dead yet? lol
and the only good thing abt that season when Jensen was in it is that we get to watch 3 hot guys always topless in that show. seriously, i used to tell my sister this show is selling their boys with no shame at all, lol. not that i was complaining or anything
and as a reply to your review...yes, Sarah is quite the poster child, isnt she? lmao.
-
Duh me! lol and I love how in the entire story Nick always referred to the guys as his brothers. Never once just calling them band mates or friends.

i was (still am) in total denial abt the whole kevin thing and the boys just being band mates these days. i need to stress on the brothers thingy because i really do believe they're like that. tell me im right mare! lol

Very cute and very addicting. My co-worker keeps sneaking some. He's like "Just one more..." LOL

Seriously, those exist?! :o
I so want those..

Alright, I spent all afternoon reading "Children like me" and I must say that I absolutely love it! I think that maybe CLM is your best work so far!
And it's definitely worth to be featured as a story of the month! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/nijntjesuk/Plaatjes/cheer_normaal.gif) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/nijntjesuk/Plaatjes/cheer_skirtoff.gif) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/nijntjesuk/Plaatjes/cheerleader_dol.gif)
At times I had trouble understanding everything that was being said/done, but you can totally blame that on me being Dutch ( (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/nijntjesuk/Plaatjes/cheerleader.gif) ) and not on your writing skills!
I (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/nijntjesuk/Plaatjes/give_heart.gif) the idea of a Supernatural/BSB crossover.. I just have one problem with it though..
it's just almost too hot to handle (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/nijntjesuk/Plaatjes/hot.gif)
But seriously, I LOVE the idea.. and what I also loved was the fact that even though Sam too has visions, he's not all wise and mighty when it comes to Nick's visions. There's a big difference between their experiences, and Sam does not have all the answers, so Nick has to struggle on his own too. (Do I make sense?)
I liked the fact that Brian wanted to help out, but still had trouble handling the whole situation because of his beliefs. And Howie trying to fill Kevin's shoes.. awww.. it was kinda sad to have this whole thing take place just after Kevin decided to quit the group.. on the other hand though, that is how things are now, so I applaud you for writing it like this!
Overall, great job mersey and I hope to see more stories like this.. maybe even a sequel?? (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/nijntjesuk/Plaatjes/giechel1.gif)
And now, for a question (or 2, 3, ...)
Why did you let Sam have the visions and not Dean? :D
Are you planning on writing a sequel? And if not, why so?
If I come up with more, I'll let you know ;D
(And yeah, I felt like using a LOT of smilies today ;D )

Hi Nijntje,
sorry took me a while to reply. I've been down with flu and i thought i got over it and then it came back and bit me in the ass some more over the weekend, lol. anyway, all the reviews you and Kelly had left for CLM make me smile today :D thank you for reading!
hehe you made me crack up with your too hot to handle remark! it's true though, but im not complaining. i love hotness.
to answer your questions,
Sam and his psychic abilities is the major arc of the show Supernatural. The 2 brothers having to deal with Sam's destiny and the Demon. So that's a given from the show, i didn't chose Sam over Dean for the visions :)
also currently, i have no plans to do a sequel for CLM because if past experiences are something to learn from, I suck at sequels, hehe. but never say never right?
thanks for dropping by and commenting, i really appreciate it!!

Aw, hope you're feeling better by now!
Aha, I guess the show got cancelled here before we ever got to learn about Sam's visions :(

TV on DVD baby!!! It's the greatest thing! That's how I'm catching up.
-
huh?
-
lol sorry! didn't mean to sound confusing. I meant that I rented Supernatural season one on DVD. (watching TV on DVD) That's how I am catching up on all the episodes I missed. If you can do that where you are, I suggest doing it because so far the show has been fantastic.
-
Ah, I see.. I kinda thought you meant that.. but I thought you BOUGHT it on DVD.. and then I was like: Why buy a DVD-box of a show you don't even know you'll like?! *confuzzled*
I actually have NO idea if our Rent-a-movie-stores have shows on DVD for rent as well.. I'll go check that out! ;D
-
Congrats on being selected as Story of the Month Mersey! To be honest I kind of fell behind halfway through this one because I started to get really bogged down by other things and never finished it, so now that its story of the month (and my schedule just opened up a bit) I'm going to attempt to finish it sometime this month.
I still have yet to see an episode of SN though. But seriously for any other non SN fans for a crossover fic it is pretty easy to follow even if you aren't familair w/ Supernatural.

OMG i guess Sarah REALLY convinced you to watch this show huh? hehehe *is loving this* yay!
also Nijntje, if you dont want to spend your $$ on renting it and would prefer to watch the episodes online, let me know, I can PM you the links. :)

Thanks Mellz! I know what you mean though, I'm supposed to be reading Moppy's fic (and my personal aim is to get it done by this week) but work isnt letting me too many free time to read in peace, i hate when that happens.
-
OMG i guess Sarah REALLY convinced you to watch this show huh? hehehe *is loving this* yay!
Actually it really wasn't so much Sarah as it was your guys' stories, "Monster In My Closet" and "Children Like Me".
I'm actually only half way done with your story so far but both of these stories really depict the characters so well that I just had to see for myself if the Whinchester brothers were that fun on screen. And they are, I love it so far. My husband really liked it too hehe. We're watching the series together now. So chalk up two more converted SN fans -lol.
-
So I spent all morning finishing this story and I want to thank Mare for picking it. (and Mersey for writing it of course ;)) I think it is my favorite of all the featured stories so far. I think what I liked about it the most was how well Mersey wrote the characters. (Backstreet Boys and Winchester Boys alike.) Each one had their own flair and you did a wonderful job of making them sound like the boys that we all know and love.
I loved the brotherly theme throughout the whole story and especially loved how you paralleled the relationships of Brian and Nick with Sam and Dean and also the similarities between Kevin and Dean. It gave the story deapth beyond just what you needed to know for it all to make sense.
The story was just wonderful and it made me actually start watching Supernatural. I don't think Sarah is the only poster child here -lol.
The only thing for me was that I never fully understood the visions. They were a little confusing every time I read them. Not enough for me to not understand whats going on, but I wasn't able to picture how they all came together at the end. Does that make any sense? I'm probably alone here, because my dislexic self gets confused a lot when I read and I have to read things over and over sometimes. SO I'm sure everyone else had no problems and if someone wants to explain it to me who's read it, that would be cool. Not in this thread of course because it would give it away for those who haven't read it yet.
Anyway, I'm rambling again. I loved the story! And I love this thread because its motivating me read things that I wouldn't normally read and so far I've been thrilled! I also think that reading things that are a little out of my norm might be why I've been writing things a little out of my norm too. Interesting... (you just watch Mare, before long I won't be writing fluff romance anymore.) ok that's not true... I'm a sap and always will be, but maybe I won't ONLY be a sap. ;D
Congrats again Mersey! Loved the story! and I'm excited that I don't hate Jensen Ackles anymore because now he can be Dean and not Jason!!! Yay!!!

And they are, I love it so far. My husband really liked it too hehe. We're watching the series together now. So chalk up two more converted SN fans -lol.
Yay for more SN fans! Aww, thanks for enjoying my story, too, Kelly! It's nowhere near as good as CLM because CLM is the ultimate for SN/BSB fics!
Psst...Mers... I updated Monster in the Closet for you!
-
Aww squeezes everyone for loving this story! lol
SO Mersey another question for you, I know you mentioned you wouldn't write a sequel, but do you have any other SN/BSB fics in the works?
And Just a general writing question for you now
What genre do you find easiest to write and why?
-
So I spent all morning finishing this story and I want to thank Mare for picking it. (and Mersey for writing it of course ;)) I think it is my favorite of all the featured stories so far. I think what I liked about it the most was how well Mersey wrote the characters. (Backstreet Boys and Winchester Boys alike.) Each one had their own flair and you did a wonderful job of making them sound like the boys that we all know and love.
I loved the brotherly theme throughout the whole story and especially loved how you paralleled the relationships of Brian and Nick with Sam and Dean and also the similarities between Kevin and Dean. It gave the story deapth beyond just what you needed to know for it all to make sense.
The story was just wonderful and it made me actually start watching Supernatural. I don't think Sarah is the only poster child here -lol.
The only thing for me was that I never fully understood the visions. They were a little confusing every time I read them. Not enough for me to not understand whats going on, but I wasn't able to picture how they all came together at the end. Does that make any sense? I'm probably alone here, because my dislexic self gets confused a lot when I read and I have to read things over and over sometimes. SO I'm sure everyone else had no problems and if someone wants to explain it to me who's read it, that would be cool. Not in this thread of course because it would give it away for those who haven't read it yet.
Anyway, I'm rambling again. I loved the story! And I love this thread because its motivating me read things that I wouldn't normally read and so far I've been thrilled! I also think that reading things that are a little out of my norm might be why I've been writing things a little out of my norm too. Interesting... (you just watch Mare, before long I won't be writing fluff romance anymore.) ok that's not true... I'm a sap and always will be, but maybe I won't ONLY be a sap. ;D
Congrats again Mersey! Loved the story! and I'm excited that I don't hate Jensen Ackles anymore because now he can be Dean and not Jason!!! Yay!!!
Kelly, you've been very awesome with reviews, both here and on the fic site so thank you so much for that! And dont feel bad abt not really grasping the visions because i do believe it is partly my fault too. I read it again and I decided that it is a little confusing! lol. im going to try and explain it here the best i can and hopefully it'll help :)
So sam's visions are always about an incident that is about to happen. It's in the near future, so Sam's heroic responsibility is to try to stop/[prevent the incident from happening and help the would be victims from said incident.
In Nick's case, he sees visions of incidents that already happened, things from the past. So his um, heroic responsibility (lol) is to share his vision and then learn from the past, get information on those incidents in order to prevent it from happening again.
So in Nick's vision, he saw a father and son following a couple home and the wife ended up dead. there's nothing he could do for this couple because his visions are from things in the past.
In Sam's vision, he saw the father and son with another couple and the wife ended up dead but for Sam, this event has not yet taken place so Sam still has time to save this couple. From Nick's vision, Sam learnt a little more about what was going to happen so in a way, Nick's vision helped Sam to save this other couple, which of course turned out to be someone we know.
spoilers after this, so dont read on if you dont want to be spoilt :)

Only in the end, they found out that those visions were planted by the YED himself, just to lure both Nick and Sam out and get to them. Kristin and the baby were never in danger to begin with, he was just a bait.
ok that's long, lol...but i hope it helped :)
-
Yay for more SN fans! Aww, thanks for enjoying my story, too, Kelly! It's nowhere near as good as CLM because CLM is the ultimate for SN/BSB fics!
Psst...Mers... I updated Monster in the Closet for you!
I read it!!! and i reviewed!!!! i hope this means no more exams for you for now??
-
Aww squeezes everyone for loving this story! lol
SO Mersey another question for you, I know you mentioned you wouldn't write a sequel, but do you have any other SN/BSB fics in the works?
And Just a general writing question for you now
What genre do you find easiest to write and why?
*joins you and squeezes everyone too*
and more questions! yay!
I have an idea playing around for quite some time, i just never do anything about it so far. If i ever write on it, it won't be more than 10 chapters long, maybe just 5 :) and it wont have psychic!Nick on it, Nick would be a regular BSB guy and the boys stumbled unto the Winchester brothers by accident and they'll get tied by a mystery waiting to be solved. hopefully that'll get written someday :)
i think the easiest genre for me would be drama/general. where i just write a short fic based on the boys' brotherly relationship with one another. It's not hard because i do believe their brotherly relationship is real, we see it so clearly when we see them interact, all we have to do is put it in words and hope we nailed it. So credit goes to the guys for most of it because if they werent as chummy, we wouldnt have much to write about, lol. Now muse, is a problem, lol.

OMG Thank you Mers!!! That was exactly what I needed. And after I read that post it was like the whole story just clicked into place and it's even better now! Yay! I wish I could point out exactly where it was that I got confused, there were one or two spots, but I can't remember now. (sorry I can't be any more help.) But I think it was how Nick's visions related to Sam's visions and how they helped him figure it out, but the exlpanation in the above post just cleared it right up. And your welcome for the reviews hun, silly as most of them were-lol I loved the story! Really, everyone should read this! (Supernatural fan or not!)
-
You know whenever you mention a specific number of chapters for a story that never happens! So yay to that! you say five but i'm thinking more along the lines of ten or so!
I insist that Marianne the groundhog makes an appearance as well. I will not take no as an answer!

yay! glad that helped Kelly! and i love your reviews, they're always entertaining to read, it sure as heck beats the 'nice job!' comments that left you wondering if they really mean it, lol.

hehhee...maybe i should do it more often. say, ok 1 more chapter and im done! it never fails to jinx me and get me writing more chapters, lol.
oh noes! another groundhog? ooohh maybe a psychic groundhog, that should be interesting. oh wait, im sure groundhogs are naturally psychic, i mean, how else do they predict the weather right? lol
-
^ exactly! LOL
-
Thanks Mellz! I know what you mean though, I'm supposed to be reading Moppy's fic (and my personal aim is to get it done by this week) but work isnt letting me too many free time to read in peace, i hate when that happens.
;D *giggles uncontrollably* She's reading my story!!! lol
Congrats on getting Story of the month Mersey!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
You know I've been a huge fan of those Winchesters (insert Homer drooling noise) since like midway through the 1st series. Fave show at the moment and when I first saw your story i thought why not have a go since it was my first SN fan fic and with the guys as well *an loud echoing can be heard as she falls off her chair) WOW!!!!
I loved reading every moment, from sitting on the edge of my seat biting my nails (which I had grow out of years ago) to cracking up with the amount of salt the guys buy LOL
As someone previously said (sorry can't remember who said it) you did write all the guys perfectly, showing all their sides that we all know and love.
P.S I've left responses to your reviews and THANKS heaps for leaving great feedback for my story even though i do find myself struggling to find a way to keep it insync (*shudders just from writing that lol) throughout the story and keep people interested.
:notworthy: 10/10 dude good on ya!!!!
Oh those links you gave me to watch for the show... they're bloody tubular dude, didn't get to sleep until 3am this morning watching them lol
-
okay i'm back but I am having truoble channeling my inner Oprah. Maybe because I already know the answers to a lot of the questions I want to ask lol so does anyone else have any questions for Mersey?
Ooh okay here's one...
Is there anything at all you would change about this story if you could go back and rewrite something on it?

hey mare, sorry for the lateness! you know, may isnt all it's cracked up to be, the one good thing is this special thread for me and my fic, i wuv it :D
if there's one thing i'd rewrite...it'd be the whole vision thing. I'd like to make it clearer for readers and make it flow easier and not too rushed. I'm kind of not happy about those. Also, I'd like to write in more Howie and AJ, I sometimes can't help feeling like I had pushed them aside in some chapters because there were too many of them in one scene and didn't do them justice.
I have a question for the readers.
If you were me, and have decided to make Nick one of the special kids, what kind of power would you give him if you decided not to give him the one that I gave (visions of the past). Eg. Andy can control minds, Ava can control demons, Jake has superhuman strength and the list goes on.

Awwww thanks for the comment Moppy! *is flattered*
and I'm glad to be reading your fic, im sorry I hadn't for a few days now, but i'll get right back on it when things settle down a bit here :)
oh great! my boss just spilled my drink! ugh!!!!!
-
lmao Mersey you are too cute with your questions *squeezes you*
I think I would like to give Nick the power to read minds. I can see him using that for hours of fun. lol
-
oh my gosh Mare, I was just going to say the same thing. I would love to see Nick with a telepathic ability. Nick reading all the other guys' minds?? Now that could be an interesting fanfic. -lol
-
oh noes! another groundhog? ooohh maybe a psychic groundhog, that should be interesting. oh wait, im sure groundhogs are naturally psychic, i mean, how else do they predict the weather right? lol
I'm laughing like crazy at this. You girls and your groundhogs lol

Andy's powers!!!! Awww I just remembered Andy, poor guy :(
I read your question and the first thing that popped into my head was Andy telling that story about giving that guy the gay porn visions LOL Can you imagine the things that Nick could do to annoy they guys with a power like that ROTFL
-
;D LMFAO!!!! As soon as I read this, I thought Nick would annoy AJ the most with 'Gay Thoughts' lol especially during concerts or maybe if he has a lady friend staying with him and Nick's in the next room.
Also i reckon he'd annoy Kevin alot if he was still with the group, can totally see it after getting a lecture to Nick, Nick in turn would fill his head up with these 'Gay thoughts' prolly to make it interesting it'd be about Brian and Kevin would be yelling out "But he's my cousin, I've known him all my life" lol sorry had to share my demented thoughts
-
Welll since we are heading towards the home stretch for this month I thought it would be nice if everyone who read this story said one of their favorite chapter of it before we go.
For me, my favorite chapter was chapter 10, Nick's Logic. I just loved the brotherly interaction between Nick and Brian in that one. I miss reading the two of them being close. That particular chapter made me all warm and fuzzy inside. :)
-
I'm choosing the one after Nick's Logic (M&Ms) and the brotherly interaction has a lot to do with why I'm picking it too :) I love all the subtle comparisons between Nick&Brian and Sam&Dean. Nick himself summarises it perfectly at the end saying "What was it about short, big brothers that really get on the nerves of taller, little brothers?" LOL And I was awwwing at Brian saying that he would follow Nick if he decided to start hunting (and how that would be a problem with his wife but would make his son consider him a way cooler dad lol).
Then there's the whole M&M thing (have to love those ;D) and this is the chapter where they are starting to act like a team of 'hunters' (well hunters in training lol) with Howie organizing things and AJ volunteering to learn Latin (ROTFL) and then AJ being all AJ about the car hehe
Oh and you know how much I LOVE chapter 15 too mersey (since I practically forced you to post it hehe) which is a perfect and hilarious portrait of the Winchesters but like the title says it, that one was kind of an 'intermission' in the story, that's why I'm choosing chapter 11 as my favorite chapter.

Just so you know I almost went with the M&M's chapter as well! lol
-
lmao Mersey you are too cute with your questions *squeezes you*
I think I would like to give Nick the power to read minds. I can see him using that for hours of fun. lol
hehehe...yes it'd be funny for Nick to say whatever is in the boys' mind before they say it. Endless fun! and he'd probably wont go wrong on his dates cause he can tell what the girl is thinking...whi ch could also totally help him out if they turn out to be a female dog :D
it could also go against him if he read negative thoughts about himself, esp if it came from one of the guys...*sigh* im sad just thinking about that, lol.

omg haha! well...if they called him chaos before, they really dont know what's gonna hit them this time around! he could totally have dancing aliens doing the jiggy and make AJ think he's going out of his mind! hehe

awww that was a fun chapter to write! I felt like I've put Nick through the wringer for the last 9 eppy and it's time for him to get a concrete assurance from the guys but we all know because of the whole Frick & Frack, it'd mean a lot more if it came from Brian. hehe..i love it when he scoot over and call him to share the bed, makes me think of wee Nick and Brian :D

Im glad you liked the part where all of them came together and kind of brainstorm about the whole thing because that part was a chore and bore to write. I almost cancel it out cause it kind of look cheesy to me :p but i had a blast writing Dean and Brian going at it because it's kind of adorable that they were being selfish because of Nick and Sam.
LOL i love the intermission cause i get to make fun of the boys and totally blame it on Dean.

good lord gal, did you take a speed reading course and not tell me? it'd be useful to have that in our kind of job! lol...but yeah, wow...thanks for spending the time to read the fic in one seating (and in record time too!), i dont think i can do that, not with this brain at least, lol. thanks for the comments, i appreciate it :D
-
dude, is that supposed to be an insult to my normal reading speed? :( or you're having doubt in my reading your story now *borrow's Nick's pouting*
lol... yeah, that's what you get for procastinating your reviews and then back to the story again, and then off and then back again... just to let you know that i'm not reading everything at one time, as mentioned the last time i read and stopped at the 4th chappy and of course, yesterday mare said it was the last day so i sped off with my reading. thank God, your boss does not buzz me much so kind of sitting good at my seat and read fanfics and what's my post again? oh yeah secretary, lmao!!!!!
though it was quite confusing in some parts of the story - like the twisting and turn of the plot, like voices coming from here and there, luckily i could understand most of your detailed information and well-description of the characters, so wallla!
and *borrow Dean's" don't mention it dude!

LOL! No. I think I insulted myself, cause I’m a very slow reader…ask Moppy, she’s still waiting for me to finish all her chapters and I only managed 2 more for the entire of yesterday.
Sorry, might be a little confusion there. I saw your previous post on this thread and you mentioned reading 4 chapters and then going back to reading the rest. And then I saw the time for when each review was posted and realised you spent almost an hour reading the remaining 19 chapters, hence the speed-reading comment. I’m flattered you sat through that time reading it. And don’t worry about the confusion, Kelly spent a couple of days reading my fic and she got confused over a certain part of the fic, so I can only imagine what it must have been like for you! If it makes it better, I did make a post in this thread explaining the confusion part (assuming this is the part that got you confused as well!).
Oh by the way mare, I still haven’t received your PM about the star/rating count thingy I asked on the star count thread. I don’t think PMs should be this late right? I think I might have some problems with my PMs, lol. Either way, it’s not really important, so if the PM doesn’t work for some reason, you can email me the info whenever you’re free, thanks in advance by the way!
-
oh and gal! *giggles* this week is the last week of May, you didnt have to read everything in a day, yesterday wasnt the last day, im sorry you misunderstood that, coulda save you all that speed-reading! could've saved you all that pressure to hurry up, sides, it's just a fic, dont sweat about it :)
-
Don't listen to her Gal, she's not slow.......she just takes her time reviewing each chapter carefully LOL ;D
-
Just wanted to thank Mersey and everyone else who participated in this thread this month. I knew this story would be a hit.
Anyone else have any final thoughts?
-
hey guys,
since it's already 1st June where i'm at now, just want to make a quick drop and thank you mare, first of all, for having the faith in this fic and picking it to feature the month of May, I'm very flattered and honored :)
also, thank you so much to everyone who has dropped in and comment and took time to at least check it out! i really appreciate them! and im going to miss this thread, it has been nice to drop by and find familiar faces in here. Dont be strangers now okay!
Love,
me!

featured story author survey
I just thought of this and since a few months have passed since, I am posting this in every thread, so authors fll this out when you get the chance. It might help people who are searching the forum and looking for something good to read. Sorry i'm using (this story) and being so generic but like I said everyone is going to get the identical survey to fill out when their turn pops up and i'm in lazy mode lmao
thanks!
Moprah! hehe
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
-
1) Tell us one thing about your story that no one else knows?
I dont think there's any huge secret that no one knows, lol. I remember confinding in Maria a lot, because it is afterall, meant to be a surprise for Mare...so I bet whatever insecurities I have about this one, I had ran it over with Maria at least, lol.
2) How long did it take you to write this entire story?
Not as long as most of my multi chaptered stories tend to stretch, lol. I'm surprised myself, lol...maybe because it's a little AU and I had help with new characters to play with the boys that did it for me. I don't know, but this is one of those fics that just screamed to be written, and fast!
3) Give us a summary different from the one you have posted on AC, with a few more spoilers to make people tune in.
Ok well, this is what I wrote as summary on my own site: A chanced meeting with a stranger revealed something shocking about his life. When Nick thought he was going crazy, everything fell into place. Just who are Sam and Dean Winchester and what's this about his destiny?
4) If you could cast this story as a movie who would play the main roles and why?
hehehe...the person who plays Nick will have to be someone who is still undiscovered. A struggling actor wanting to make it big. I want my movie (ahem) to be the one that launched his career.
5) Have you ever thought of giving up on the story and if you did what made you continue to work on it?
Nope, not this one, thankfully! phew!
6) What was your writing process? (Outline, make it up as you go along, the characters wrote it, I am Tonja and plagerized lol)
I made sure i wrote at least 3 pages a day. the story kind of play out on itself. I just know what to write next and how it's going to be done. I'm very pleased with how smooth things went for this one. I wish this is the case for all my fics.
7) Who was your favorite character in this story and why?
This may come as a surprise...my fav character in this story is Kevin. He's not physically in it 90% of the time, but he's a constant in my mind as i wrote it, because I want his presence there even when he wasn't. When i write Nick's thought process, I always made sure he's always thinking of Kevin. He might not have to say it out loud every 5 minutes, but i made sure his thoughts on Kevin come across at least once in every chapter, to show just how big an influence Kevin is in Nick's life even when he wasn't there.
Cool You had to know this was coming, who was your least favorite?
I can't say it's a least fav character, more like the least favorite to write...when Nick and/or Sam has visions of the YED and the kid. I found myself struggling to write those and in a way, it made me hate writing about the YED, lol.
9) Are all the boys in this one? If not why did you choose to exclude them?
They're all in it, even Kevin :D
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
Well, this IS a crossover...so if you liked this story, chances are, you'd like Starbeamz4's Monster In The Closet. It's a Brian/Baylee/Supernatural fic so far. Not sure if the other boys are going to make an appearance in the future. But so far, I'm liking Brian's thought process. It's WIP.
