The Canadiens....it's always the quiet ones! Seriously, I love the twist of the Canadiens starting the attack. "I would hate to have to explain to whoever met me at the pearly gates why my last word was “FUCK!!!!” - too freaking funny! Star Troopers...the name seems quite appropriate. I adore how you reveal bits of information about the causes of this war. Love the update, Mare!

*runs thru the streets with a lantern* THE CANADIANS ARE ATTACKING! THE CANADIANS ARE ATTACKING!!
hehe..sorry..that's the first thought that popped into my head. But, poor AJ..he's the only one left all alone. And if that girl is around his age, how in the HELL does she NOT know who he is? Nice chapter...can't wait for the next!
Author's Response:
I don't think I would have known who AJ was either in 99. lol although he is hard to miss. lol Thanks Jen!

AJ is alive! Of course lol. Poor AJ, I loved the line about the idea of having to explain why "FUCK!" is his last word lmao.
LMFAO at Canada being to blame! *sings* Blame Canada...Blame Canada...
I'm also impressed you have a female character. I'm in shock, but impressed lol.
Author's Response:
Of course he's alive. He's a pain in the butt but i'd never kill him. lol yup, a female. That's what i was worried about. Hope I can keep her alive. Thanks Rose!

I was smiling as I was reading that chapter Mare. I loved how AJ kept whining about everything and was doing Kevin's head in, lol.
Yeah, they better enjoy every moment because it'll all be over soon enough :(
Can't wait for more!!
Author's Response:
Thanks Steph lol I always enjoy writing them when they are happy and together. You're right though, as we know bad times are ahead.

I loved read in Kevin's POV. He is so lovely. And I loved Nick being a kid, lol. Can't wait for more, I'm loving this!
Author's Response:
awww thanks! I love Kevin and miss him lol

It's Wednesday, I was looking forward to two things all day: an update for this story and the next episode of "Top Chef." Kevin has always been my favorite Boy. At times, in this update, he sounds cynical...but I think he's being realistic. I love the insight into Kevin's relationship with Nick and AJ. When reading Kevin's description of AJ's glasses, I thought would Kevin know what a bedazzler was? And then I thought, of course, any man who wears a skirt would know what a beddazler did. I love the time setting of this story! Whenever I think "Backstreet Boys," the image which pops into my head is always the scene from "I Want It That Way" when they are walking through the airport. There's a swagger, confidence, and dare I say, an arrogance about them. It really is the opposite image we find in the "future" of this story of this worried, scared young men in tattered clothes.
Again, great update Mare.

I LOVE Top Chef!! lol I actually came here real quick before it starts! I so want Richard to win this time around, although I admit that i love almost all of the people left, minus annoying Mike and i'm kind of eh? About Dale lol I agree with you about the BSB's it's funny because I always go back to this time for them as well and I agree, I think this was when they were all kind of taking their fame for granted. I really think back then Kevin was very cynical and not always that inclined to hang around the younger members of the group. I miss him which is why I wanted to set this in 99. Thanks for the feedback Pammy! :O)

I loved this chapter. I love how Kevin was distinguishing between the relationships he has with AJ and Nick. And I think you totally got AJ's personality on point. Not that I know him or anything...LOL. But we all know how dramatic he can be. I cracked up about him bedazzling his sunglasses...and this : "He's weird. They're all weird."
I also loved the foreshadowing at the end and the thoughts abbut AJ drinking the beer.Good stuff! I'm so excited about this story and can't wait for another update. I'm dying to know how the landing goes down!
Author's Response:
aww thanks! I really take that as a compliment because as you know from the MB, I have a hard time with AJ so i'm glad an AJ fan thinks I did a good job capturing his personality. :O) I can see Kevin thinking everyone is weird. lol We're gettign to the landing soon. Thanks for reading Sel!

Well if it helps I'm having fun reading it. Kevin's commentary about AJ and Nick cracked me up. I miss Kevin! Kick him for me will you? LOL.
“I hope there’s shrimp. Me like shrimp!” Do I even have to say who that was?
“If we drown…”
Oh my God, kill me now!
That bit cracked me up SO hard LOL. I love it. I also really enjoyed the bit with AJ being a bit overwhelmed with how big they were getting and the empty beer bottle, with Kevin wondering how many he's had. It's kind of a preview of the path he ends up taking in real life.
Definitely enjoyed it.
Author's Response:
I always kick Kevin so the next one will be for you! I do think that's when AJ started his slow descent, when they got so mega famous. Thanks for the review Rose!

This chapter made me want cookies. Seriously though... it did make me want them. :D My curiosity is seriously running in overdrive. Who is Charlie? Why does someone want celebrities dead? When did they have time to rent ad space? How does Donald Trump fit into all of this? (If you could just answer those that would be great :P)
Author's Response:
There's always time for two things. Cookies and ad space! LOL

LMAO at AJ being the Jewish grandmother. I loved this chapter, too much to comment on but I love Nick's blondeness too its endearing and cute. Great chapter as always Mare! I wanna know what happened to AJ after the plane crash....gahh
Author's Response:
NO worries, he's next. It wasn't a plane crash, only an emergency landing :O) lol thanks for the comments! I totally see AJ as a Jewish grandmother. And gotta love Nick.

Kevin as the Terminator, wow, what a fab image that has put in my head!!! Got to love a strong and focused man like Kevin! Is it wrong of me to smile at the thought of Britney impaled on a spear (sorry Britney, I do like a lot of her songs, lol).
Great chapter Mare, although that cliffy has left me dying for more :)
Author's Response:
You know it's her own fault for having the last name Spears. I had to just go with it lol Thanks for reading Steph! lol

I finished reading "What Lurks Around the Corner" it was very good somehow I knew the ending was going to be like that all along...and yet it still surprised me!!
This story is going to take a while to grow on me but its getting there!!
keep up the good work Mare!!
Author's Response:
Thanks about Lurks and hope this one turns out okay for you. Thanks for reading!

I'm so happy Brian and Kevin are alive. I hope they can reunited with the guys soon! Who is in the door? I'm so dying to read more! Thanks for the update!
Author's Response:
Thanks for reading! :O)
Date: 02/20/11 11:06 am Title: Chapter 3
Cue ominous music! Now, where is Alexander James? Sure, Brian has a fear of heights, yet when survival is the key, adrenaline kicked in and he climbed it. I'm sorry, but I did giggle a little at the billboard....Britney "speared." As I'm reading this, I'm thinking about the Reagan presidency....our country seemed so strong. Yet, in this timeline, Donald Trump brings about the apocalypse. I guess he ran before anyone could tell him he was fired. I know I'm rambling now....but iit's 5:00 in the morning and I'm wide awake. I'm looking forward to the next installment. I hope we "hear" from AJ next.

Ronald came way before this. But yes, in this weird place they are in, stupid people elected Trump. Sometimes I am scared that stupid people will elect someone like Trump to rule our country because he's like famous like... lol I mean I had to stop watching AI because of the stupid way Americans voted just for that! GLad you liked the 'speared' part. I admit that was fun lmao Go back to bed! Although I woke up at 6! I hate when I do that on the weekends! Thanks Pammy!

Wow wow wow. Again, wow. So they are hunting down celebrities? I wonder why that is but its very creative. Love how Kevin and Brian help each other. I wonder if AJ is okay because he seems to be all by himself, poor guy. I still want to know how all of this happened. AWesome so far Mare I love it!
Author's Response:
Thanks Tracy! How it all happened will slowly start to be told relatively soon-ish lol :O) thanks for the review!
