So nice to see you reading Steph, thanks.

Yeah Brian could have definitely handled that situation better but like you said, people do dumb things when they like someone.

Chapter 19 of AHTIM is up!

Glad you had a great time, Steph!

Yes I cannot wait to see them on july 15!!

The concert was absolutely amazing!  The atmosphere was fantastic, everyone was up dancing and singing and it was just a really good night.  So anyone going to see them is in for a good time, but you already know that 🤣

Finally getting around to reading this and really enjoying so far, I'm up to Chapter 8.  Poor Nick, I do feel sorry for him as he's feeling confused about whether he's gay or not and now his best friend has abandoned him.  Brian should've told Leighanne he would see her after the game as it really wasn't fair to lie to Nick.  But I suppose people do crazy things for love!

Where was the first place you ever posted one of your stories?  When was it, what story was it, and is the site still online?

The first place I ever posted a story was on a Take That forum that had a fanfic section.  It was back in about 2007 (I was late getting into fanfics), it was romance story about a Take That member and the site is no longer online unfortunately.

For those who still write, do you post your stories on any other sites besides AC?  If so, where?

I don't post anywhere else, and haven't posted anything in a long time either.

For those who read and/or post on other sites, how is the culture there different than on AC?  (That can include number and types of stories posted, popular genres, quantity of readers, quality of reviews, etc.)

I don't go on any other sites.

The first place I posted a story (or had it hosted, rather) was on a site called Escape from Reality.  It's actually still online, though it hasn't been updated since February 2000, which is when my story Heartache was posted there.  The whole story never even made it onto the site because the webmaster stopped updating it, but it is finished on my site.

The only places I post my stuff nowadays are on AC and my own site, Dreamer's Sanctuary.  I've thought about branching out onto other sites that have a more active fanbase, which is partly why I asked this question.  I miss having more options to read and being able to write and receive reviews.

LOL i laughed at that part too because it was so fitting after Brian decided to have his little hissy fit. I think he needed to be knocked down a peg in that moment so I put in some comic relief. Glad you are enjoying the updates.

RokofAges75: I really miss talking to you!

My first fanfic was post online on a french fans forum and it is not online anymore.
Yes I post on archive of our own and here.
On the other site the writers post more slash stories.
