Really don't like the sound of those Jive execs, what arseholes!!!  That's what I hate about music, how men in suits try to dictate what we should and shouldn't be buying, what is and isn't popular. 

Great chapter, I like how they went out as a group after the meeting.  Whatever crap Jive throw at them, they are united!  Love it :)

 



Author's Response: I hate that about music too, I wish the actual artists would get more control! (I'm so glad that the boys are free of Jive now.) Thanks for the compliments, Steph :) I wanted to keep them unified, at least for a little while longer!

Great chapter, Steph! I'm glad you got over your hurdle and finished this. It turned out perfect! I hate writing the music business stuff, cause I never know what I'm doing, but you make it sound realistic. I liked the way the meeting went and how they convinced Jive to call it Chapter 1. I kinda laughed at the conversation about whether or not there would ever be a Chapter 2... I love that they've released three new albums since then, but it's too bad they'll probably never be able to make another "greatest HITS" album. Oh well! I think you can really see the divide in the group in Brian's scene, how Howie wants to get right back in the studio, but Kevin and Brian are happy for the break. And then there's Nick... poor douchebag Nick LOL. At least he feels bad; he should! Not sure it will make a difference right now, but I do hope he drags his ass out to see AJ. Hope you can keep the updates coming! :)

Author's Response: Thanks Julie! I'm glad I got over the hurdle too :) I just emulated a regular boring meeting from my workplace with the Jive stuff, lol. I'm glad you liked it! I remember reading somewhere that the guys convinced Jive to call it Chapter 1, not sure if it was true or not but I liked the idea of that. It's true though, they probably never be able to make another greatest hits. LOL douchebag Nick indeed! He does feel bad, and rightfully so! Let's hope it lasts and he begins to get his act together. Thanks again for all the compliments! I'll try not to take so long with the next chapter :)

I didn't realize I only had one more chapter to read and now i'm all caught up. YAY! lol Great job with the meeting. I can see Jive and it's personnel realy acting that way. I'm so glad the guys get away from Jive when they had the chance. I remember hating the fact that they had come out with a Greatest Hits CD. Nicely done Steph! I'm looking forwar to see what you have planned next.



Author's Response: Yeah, I was lazy with updating this one in the last couple of months, I think this was my first update since March or February lol. I was a little bit worried about how the meeting part came out, so I just sort of based it off the meetings I have at my job. I'm glad they get away from Jive too. I hated the greatest hits cd too, I really thought that was it for them, and the video for Drowning still makes me feel sad to this day lol I was so worried they wouldn't come back. Thanks for all your reviews and compliments, Mare! They made my morning! Yay for you playing catch up :)
