So you know I'm not a fan of BSB slash lol but ya know...i clicked on your new fic cause I was super duper curious when I saw you offed one of them, I came back to read this so I knew the backstory. Cause yes, I wanted to see how you killed a BSB lmfao. Cause I'm horrible and morbid that way. I enjoyed it though yeah, Howie is the only one I could see it working with and only if Nick was drunk off his ass.

Author's Response: Thanks, ZDR! LOL You know I'm not a fan of BSB slash either, but if you decide to read a few more chapters of Sick as My Secrets, you will understand why I wrote this. Cause I'm horrible and morbid, too LOL. That was the only way I could get this to work, if there was lots and lots of alcohol involved, and even then, it was hard to find the balance between too rapey and just really, really gay.

Well we all know im the one and only howie chick...but i loved it. And personally, i vote for writing more. Though its a good story alone, id really love to see what all could happen. Id sk read it!

Author's Response: Thanks so much!! I did start a follow-up novel towards the end of summer that I'd like to keep working on eventually... I'm kind of waiting for the guys to announce their European tour dates since that's when I'm having it take place. I'm glad you enjoyed Unsuspecting Sunday; thanks again for the feedback!

Well, I found this incredible. I'm a slash reader/writer and feel I have a good amount of experience in this genre. With that said, this is one of the best written slash fictions I've ever read, including my own!

If you decided to wrote more you'll have a reader in me for sure!

Great job!

Author's Response: Thank you!! Sorry I'm so late in replying to this review - I just saw it! Must not have gotten an email about it for some reason. I know you are a slash writer, so your feedback means a lot, since this was my first try at slash. I'm glad you liked it!!

absolutely loved this! i think nick and howie make an adorable couple together and even though i hate to say it you have a point there lauren is totally not girly which not that makes her lesbian or bad in anyway but she is more of a best friend and buddy just as you "howie" said! makes a very good point! i think you should continue with this! i think it would make for interesting story for nick to come to terms with how he truly feels about howie... and as hard as it was for howie to deal with nick being that mad at him and that mean hard glare...how funny would it be if there was a part where nick started flirtin and teasin him in front of everyone with out everyone noticing during such photoshoots! anyways update soon ! i really hope you decide to continue with these two! i dont think there is near enough of these slash stories of our lovely nick carter and sweet d!



Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review! I enjoyed writing this more than I thought I would, since I'm normally not into slash. I do love how close Nick and Howie have seemed over the last few years though. And I love Lauren, but it was easy to use her for Howie to make that point to Nick LOL. I'm glad you'd be interested in reading a continuation of this if I wrote one. Thanks again!!

Wow......now you know I am not a slash reader but this was so good and real....so well written that I didnt care it was even slash. It was amazing Julie. I actually started wondering for real about Howie lol. To be honest in high school I thought Howie was the gay one in the group so I found it believable. I also love how realistic Nick was written, this was so good and if you do continue I will definitely read more. great job!!!!

Author's Response: Thanks Tracy!!! I really appreciate you giving this a try even though you're not usually a slash reader. Obviously I'm not usually a slash writer, so I tried to make it something even non-slash fans could appreciate. My big problem with slash is believability (or lack thereof), so I knew if I was going to write one seriously, I had to make it at least halfway believable. After I saw that radio interview where Howie was talking about Nick's pubic hair, I started going, "Hm..." LOL I always thought he could be the gay one too, so it really wasn't that hard to see him this way, even though he's married - some gay guys do get married! LOL I had a harder time figuring out Nick's feelings, which is why I left them more open to interpretation. Was he really just drunk out of his mind, or was there something more there? I'll leave that up to you to decide! LOL Thanks so much for giving it a chance and giving your feedback; I really appreciate it! I'm glad you liked it!! :)

Well, okay.  I "enjoyed" it.  I even enjoyed it.  I'm not gonna lie to you-- I have to say that during some of the more graphic parts (though good job with making it not overly graphic, yet still descriptive), I might have pretended the narrator was a female.  Still, the story overall was very believable, which really surprised me.  You're right-- I think it had to be Nick and Howie here.  Really insightful.  Again, really believable.  And I'm totally a Howie girl, actually.  Well, it goes Kevin, Howie, Nick, and they alternate depending on what kind of mood I'm in or what they've done recently that it the cutest...lol.  You really have a way with words and a knack for description that not many writers have.  Example:  " so I went over to him and ducked under his arm, draping it around my shoulders for support.  It hung there like a large snake, limp and heavy, weighing me down."  I could actually see and feel that in my mind.  That's just one example.  There are many.  I'm not sure I'm on the bandwagon with making this the beginning of a novel, but honestly, I might read it, too, if that ever happened.



Author's Response: Thanks, Emily! LOL It's okay, I totally put myself in Howie's shoes and pretended he was a girl too to get through the "sex scene" (which, thankfully, I found a way to cut off before it actually turned into one because I didn't really want to write that... LOL). I had originally started writing it in third person point of view, and it got really awkward right about then, so I went back and rewrote it in first, and that turned out a lot better. I just giggled too much seeing Howie's name attached to Nick's in some of those descriptions... "I" was much better. Also, it got to be confusing with all the male pronouns - he/him/his. I had to use their names a lot more than I normally would when it was in third person just to make it clear what was happening, but that also made it more awkward. I honestly don't know how slash writers do it! I've never written a Howie story before (or a slash), so I'm glad it was believable, and thanks so much for your compliment about my descriptions! I'm not so sure about turning it into a novel either; the idea I have for it just kind of makes me shake my head, but... it has been in my head for the last week or so, so I thought I'd throw it out there and see. Thanks for going outside your comfort zone to read this, and thanks for the review! :)

Well Julie, I'm no fan of slash, but the way you've written this is so believeable and such a good story, that I would definitely like to read more!  I'm sure Nick really wants Howie but now that he's sobered up, he's ashamed and wonders what the world will think of him for doing it.

I can't believe I'm actually enjoying a slash story :)



Author's Response: Thanks Steph! :) LOL I can't believe I wrote one! I've never even read a slash all the way through, not seriously anyway. I had no idea what I was doing with this one LOL. But I'm glad you gave it a chance and enjoyed it! I wouldn't have written one if I couldn't find a way to make it seem at least halfway believable, so I'm glad you thought it was. I wanted to leave Nick's feelings open to interpretation, but I think there's something there too. ;) LOL Thanks again!

(Read this and am reviewing on my phone so apologies for typos!)

I loved it! I loved how it was from Howie's point if view and you added in little clues about him and his sexuality and attraction to Nick. I also loved Nick in this, he was so Nickish, a lot more so than he is usually portrayed. Really vulgar and drunk and exactly how he is on the cruise. I enjoyed how Nick wasn't even reluctant when he was drunk but when he realised what happened he was obviously freaked out. But it did seem like he was in denial and there were some deeper thoughts there that were opened up on account of their romp in the sac lol. This was a very enjoyable read! If you continue with it I'd keep reading as I love the angst, but I think it also works great as a one shot! :)

Author's Response: Thanks Steph!! I have never written a Howie story before, so it was fun to write from his point of view and easier than I thought it would be! It was also fun to write about the cruise. I'm glad Nick was believable! That was the only way I could write a slash, if I thought it seemed even halfway believable. I'm glad you picked up some hints about both of their feelings for each other. I wanted to leave it open to wondering about Nick... LOL. I'm really glad you liked this and appreciate your feedback, especially since I know you've written slash before. Thanks again!!

Oh wow. I couldn't believe it at first when I look at the recent story page and saw your stories but, of course, I was happy! lol Although my heart broke a little because Nick's only love is Brian not Howie. lol

Aside that, I can't hate this story. It's full of angst, Howie broke my heart. Really. You shouid be proud, you made me love this Howie. (Now, Howie, please, go and find someone else because Nick's already taken. LOL). 

Okay, I'm rambling! lol But I really loved it and you're good with it, even though it's your first time. And of course I'll be happier if you would continue it. =)



Author's Response: Thanks Cinzia!!! All your talk of slash on the forum was partly what inspired me to want to write one, just to see what it's like! I enjoyed it, actually. I don't know if I would write another one, besides the novel idea I mentioned for this one, but I wouldn't be afraid to if I had another plausible idea. You know I love Frick & Frack, but I knew this one had to be about Howie and Nick, and I've actually never written a Howie story before, so it worked out! I'm glad you liked it! That means so much coming from someone who loves this genre and is way more experienced in writing it than I am! Thanks again for your feedback!!
