This is the "original novel" version of my Backstreet Boys fanfic Broken. I'm attempting to re-write it with the intent to possibly look into getting it published someday. That's a long way off though. Right now, I just want to see how far I get re-writing it as original fiction and see what the reaction is, so that's why I'm posting it as I go. Critiques are welcome!!
Just to explain, in this version, Nick is in high school, and he plays basketball instead of performing as a Backstreet Boy. The other Boys are in it as his friends, although, for the sake of keeping it "original fiction," I'm changing their names as follows:
Nick = Nick Harper
Brian = Logan Campbell
Kevin = Calvin Scott
AJ = JD Cleman
Howie = Ozzie O'Donnell
Aaron = Adam Harper
Leslie = Lisi Harper
The basic story will stay the same, but obviously some details have to change to de-Backstreet-ize it and give it more of a young adult novel feel. I'm completely re-writing it to make it the best it can be because I think the writing quality will be better this way, and I also think it will be easier in the long run than trying to edit the hell out of the fanfic. So it will seem totally different at the beginning, but I hope once I get into it, it will be recognizable as the same story.
Thanks in advance to anyone who reads and offers their critiques!
Story Notes:
This is going to be the original novel version of my Bsb fic of the same title... see Author's Note.
