So I clicked on this because it's you Steph and I know how good a writer you are. And even though I'm not much of a slash reader in the BSB fandom SAMS did make me more open minded about it. I like how this is an AU but sort of not. The "What If" of the BSB fandom and where that could've gone. I like that you still retained some BSB history like AJ/Howie seeing Nick at auditions and I'm curious to see where you take this

Author's Response: Thanks Rose, that's so sweet :) I'm glad you're giving it a chance. I felt I should still tie Nick to AJ/Howie so he'd have a bit of relationship with the group instead of waltzing into their world blind, lol. Thanks again x

Ooh I am really enjoying this so far. Love that twist that Nick chose MMC instead of the boys...curious how this is going to be. Great job!

Author's Response: Awww thanks Tracy! I've had the idea for a while, so I'm glad you liked the slight AU twist on it :) Hope you enjoy x

Yay, you posted your story!! It's good to see your name on here again! I had to check this out. You know I'm not much of a slash fan, but writing SAMS made me more open to it. Also, I love a good Brian and Nick story! I love the time period it's set in, and the premise of "What if Nick had chosen Mickey Mouse Club instead of BSB?" is super interesting. I like that it's sort of AU, but still BSB. Nice hybrid of the two. I really liked this first chapter. The way you wrote Brian reacting to Nick was so spot-on. There is just something about him that does that to you!! I wasn't even a Nick fan back in this time, but even I was drawn like a magnet to him when he sang I Need You Tonight/Heaven in Your Eyes, like on the A Night Out video. That's still one of my favorite performances of his to watch; in fact, I want to go look it up on YouTube right now LOL. Anyway, you managed to make Brian's attraction to him believable, which is a huge accomplishment and will make it much easier for me to enjoy reading this story. :) Great start!

Author's Response: Awww thanks Julie :) It's funny you say that writing SAMS made you more open to reading slash because reading that story made me more open to writing it in this fandom, haha. I'm glad you thought Brian's attraction to Nick was believable, because even when writing it I still wasn't sure about it or the pairing. But I figured if I was going to go with something "back in the day" I'd go for classic Frick and Frack. I definitely watched a bunch of old videos of Nick performing I Need You Tonight when I was researching for this, he really is mesmerizing! I'm glad that came off here. Thanks again x
