Man how I've missed sinking into one of your stories. You know you've always been one of my favorite authors, you and Julie are who I have followed the longest and I think you the absolute longest so I am hoping that this is the first step to many more stories from you.
Author's Response: Aww, that's really sweet of you to say. Just hearing things like that acts as motivation so thank you!

Yay I loved this chapter! Kevin is some what annoying here but you gotta love him and I do understand where this is coming from. You know Nick and Kevin are my favorites so I am really enjoying this story
Author's Response: They really are my favorite pairing as well, but you already know this. Thanks, Anita :)

I found this fishing trip quite amusing. I pictured all of them sitting there napping like old men with hats tilted over their heads lol.
Author's Response: I never got a notification about this review. Sorry about the delay in responding. I kind of pictured the same thing in my head minus Nick who would maybe sigh of boredom every ten minutes or so. lol

I can just imagine them all getting on each others nerves whilst they're stranded out there, I wonder if they'll be tempted to push someone off the boat lol!
The pager message sounds like it's something more serious than his parents checking on him, I wonder what! (Never had a pager so don't even know what they do lol)
Author's Response: I never had a pager either. I actually had to on twitter and ask people about this lol considering I never even had a cell phone until a few years ago, when it comes to this stuff I am clueless! I would probably be tempted to push people off that boat so I'm sure they would too! Thanks, Steph!

The imagery of Nick's pager and his request for the giant cell phone made me bust a gut! I can remember when my friend's dad got a car phone and we all thought that it was the coolest thing ever!
I liked that Howie and Nick kinda called Kevin out for being so grumpy all of the time. In the early days, I just wanted to reach out and be like: "Kev, it's okay to have a good time once and a while!" - He always looked so serious back then.
Author's Response: I know! Those cell phones back in the day were huge! LOL I agree with you about Kevin being so serious and grumpy all the time. He used to always have this constipated look on his face. He seems so much more relaxed now. It's nice to see!

Aww no struggling! I love this story, it contains all my fave things about older fics that take place back in the day. My fave line this chapter was Nicks analogy about Kevin's negativity. The eyebrows came at a close second.
Author's Response: Lots of struggling. I'm counting on feedback to pull me through this one! I had even thought of putting it on hiatus which is something I have never ever done! The guys need to do something that will not make me mad in real life or have an incredibly warm and fuzzy moment. Especially Nick, Kevin and Howie. That doesn't involve a cruise or a New Kid! Thanks, Rose! Kevin's flaws are fun to write!! LOL

Love them talking about Kevin's eyebrows doing the talking for them! I'm wondering whose paging Nick and why he's lying to them about it. Always leaving us with a cliffhanger!
Author's Response: Kevin's eyebrows do have a mind of their own. Sorry, I am not even trying with cliffies in this one, it kind of just happens. LOL
Date: 06/29/14 12:44 am Title: Chapter 7
I cracked up at the eyebrows comment because it's so true. That and the beeper conversation because of that day on Twitter. I am wondering if Nick is squirmy
Because of the stalker and that's what the page is about. Can't wait for the chapter next weekend. I will look forward to reading it hopefully on my birthday haha. Great update Mare.
Author's Response: Aww, yes this was the chapter I was working on when I asked all those cell phone questions to you and Jen. lol Kevin and his brows, those things really do have a life of their own. Thanks for the review, Tracy!

I'm sorry it took me so long to read and review! Good news...I finished my thesis!! Finally!
Anyways, to more important things...do NOT start having doubts! I need to know where this story is going! I noticed that you're really good with actually finishing stories so I'm hoping you keep this one going!
So Kevin is shitting me lol Although he kind of redeemed himself at the end there. I feel so bad for Nick. I can't imagine having parents like that! Can't wait for the next update! You better *shakes fist*
Author's Response: Congrats on finishing your thesis! You must be really relieved!! No worries, I do feel like I might be slumping on this story a bit. I'm having some trouble channeling the guys on this one, but it will be updated today in fact. My concern is when I do catch up to myself. I have 9 written and am posting chapter 7 today. Hopefully I'll be able to get back into BSB channeling mode.I think they just need to stop pissing me off! LOL Thanks, Jess!

Every time you make a reference to Nick's less-than-stellar parents my heart aches. I would not be surprised if his dad had actually said something just like that to him at one point. Brutal!
The Kevin/Nick moment was super sweet. I enjoyed how Kevin was hoping that Howie would step in and save him. Poor guy!
I have never been fishing either. It seems super boring ... although my husband really enjoys it.
Author's Response: I know, I have a feeling he has heard that before. I can kind of picture his mom saying it more so than his dad but either way. I have never even wanted to fish ever. I don't know why I always end up having them fish and camp in my stories. I haven't ever done that one either. LOL

I really like the way the way this story is going. There's something so irresistible about young Kevin/Nick story. You've also foreshadowed plenty of angst which is always a huge plus in my book!!
Author's Response: I agree.I love the young Kevin and Nick combo too, obviously lol Thanks for reading and taking the time to drop in and review! I appreciate it! :O)
Date: 06/23/14 04:02 pm Title: Chapter 6
It wasnt cheesey to me but then again i tend to like cheesey sonetimes lol. But i can totally see Nick saying that they were fishing wrong lol he seems to have that personality ;)
Author's Response: I agree lol I can see him being all knowing and controlling of the situation as well. Thanks! :O)
Date: 06/22/14 09:57 pm Title: Chapter 6
Just caught up with this. I REALLY like this story and I am looking forward to where you are taking this. What's going on with this wacko family member and the letters? How did Johnny find out about it? I want to know more about Nick's family life. Great story, as usual. Big fan :)
Author's Response: aww, well thank you very much for reading and reviewing! I'm glad you're enjoying it and those questions will be answered you go along. :O)
Date: 06/22/14 09:02 pm Title: Chapter 6
I've never been fishing either and wouldn't know what time of day is best to catch them lol. Poor Howie struggling with the rod, but I bet he'll be the one to catch something if they stick to it!
See, Kev doesn't hate him, he's just being a typical older brother.
Looking forward to more next week :)
Author's Response: I'm just totally writing by the seat of my pants with the whole fishing times thing. I know nothing about that stuff at all lol I think Kevin is finally the one realizing he doesn't hate Nick. Thanks, Steph!
