I admit I lol'd at the website. There are a few forums that could easily change their name to coincide with the one you came up with and some people who post on those forums are crazy enough to do something like that. I am honestly scared for the boys sometimes just based on how eerily attached some people are to one or all of the guys. Just yikes!! Well this should be interesting now, to see Joey try to cover this up without giving himself away. He's kind of a moron so it should be fun to watch. LOL

Author's Response: There's no doubt in my mind that some people in the fandom are a bit too obsessed. It seems crazy to me that people are able to develop such an unhealthy infatuation with their favourite celebrities, but I know that it happens all the time. Strange!

Wow, I'm glad I never tried to access that forum. I did not know a single answer to any of those questions! I wonder if that actually exists? Where you need to answer questions to be able to join. Maybe we should do that on AC, only instead of answering questions you have to write a few sentences grammatically correct! LOL

I loved the line AJ said about being happy that Brian had things in his life he wasn't proud of as well. I have a feeling he's not as much of a saint as people think he is and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if infidelity was one of those things. It would also make sense why his dreadful wife has such a choke hold on him most of the time as well. Looking forward to seeing who this person is. I don't think it's a crazed fan though. She seems to smart and well thought out to be someone who had a one night stand with the guys and now wants revenge.

Author's Response: I also didn't know any of the answers! I had to Google every single one of them. It seems as though I would not be allowed to access the forums either. LOL - I almost died from laughing at the thought of people having to compose grammatically correct sentences in order to join AC!! I teach English, so I have no trouble imagining how hard that would be for some people. There is no doubt in my mind that Brian has a very strong faith, but I agree that he is in no way a saint. I'm not really sure where that perception of him has come from. To me, he doesn't come across as being overly perfect. As someone else mentioned in a review, he is likely a "closet freak" LOL

There were so many great moments in this chapter. It's probably wrong of me that I was laughing through the whole Nick and AJ fight/pity party. It seemed like such a real thing that could happen with those two. Having AJ's inner jealousy of Nick come to the surface and then Nick getting angry enough to use his fists. It's the visual image of them and then AJ and Brian on the floor which had me laughing. Then of course when AJ ends up on Nick's lap!

And getting back to Sarah and her management potential...she even can control their website! At least she's a smart psychopath. Also an incredibly rich one. See boys? This is what happens when you do things like Gold VIPS and cruises. You get rich psycho bitches thinking you are doing it for them personally! Way to go!

p.s.please do not kill Howie or Kevin. :O) If you have any homicidal urges you can fly in one of their misc people like anyone of the Carter clan or Leighanne? lol

Author's Response: I love the fact that you found this chapter funny!! FYI, I just about died laughing at your last comment about flying in some of Nick's family members and/or Leighanne just to kill them off. ROTFL!! That would be the most random plot twist ever ... although it may be kind of funny. The amount of money that some people have to spend on the boys astounds me! I have no idea how people can afford to do VIP at every show and after parties and cruises. I would be bankrupt and living in a box if I tried to do all of that.

I like the fact that they are all back together again. And poor Nick, once again I had to laugh when Brian said Nick thought it was all his fault. Awkward...I am looking forward to hearing what Sarah's explanation is going to be. Hoping to hear two words...naked Twister! :O)

and no worries about me being a psychopath. I just enjoy writing them and occasionally thinking like them. I'm kind of like the crazy person's version of visiting grandma and grandpa's house. Think of ways to maim and torture the boys and then send them off on their merry way unharmed. LOL

Author's Response: OMG - Naked Twister!! Bahahaha!! I love that you will maim the boys to no end and still have them all be able to walk away in the end. That's so sweet(?) of you! Although, I pretty much feel the same way. I don't know if I have the heart to be able to kill one of them off ... unless it was peacefully from natural causes or something like that.

When they were on the Never Gone tour shortly before Kevin bailed, AJ was dating one of their opening acts which was this 17 year old girl named Kaci. It was odd and creepy because he was probably close to if not already 30 by then. *shudders* And good point about Nick, the other three are borderline gnomes in size comparison. I had actually left a much longer review for you but for some reason half of it got cut off and now I don't remember what I had said. I think it had to do with Brian and how in my head it was so weird to think he would try to fend off anyone. Again he's a gnome, maybe bite someone's ankles lol

Author's Response: Wow!! I really don't remember the whole Kaci/AJ relationship. I don't even remember someone named Kaci opening for them, nor do I have any idea what she looks like. LOL It annoys me to no end when I write a long review and then it gets lost. I can NEVER remember what I wrote. :( Also, Brian may be a gnome, but he's a strong, handsome gnome. Bahahaha!

Yikes! Getting intense. So, AJ is dead? I was pretty sure he was just knocked out. Hope this all ends soon. I don't know how much I'll be able to take, let alone Nick.

It's kind of like wanting really badly to click to see what happens next, but yet not really wanting to know just in case it's a bad thing. It's how I felt watching The Following. I watched the very first episode and there was a scene with a dog being tortured and I never watched it again, but it was such a good show it got my curiosity peaked where I just skipped that first episode and watched the rest but if there was a time I felt like something oogey was going to happen, I would avoid watching the episode as long as possible.

This is the fanfic version of that right now lol

I have to admit I laughed at the "Are we shooting this idiot or what?" line LOL For some reason I was completely able to visualize that. Poor Brian! Seems like he's being tortured more than Nick.

Author's Response: Well, Brian THINKS that AJ is dead ... you will find out for sure in the next chapter. Hopefully, you make it that far. LOL OMG - I know exactly the scene that you are talking about in The Following. My husband and I sat down to watch the first episode together and when the dog was tortured, I yelled "done!" and walked out of the room. I seriously could not force myself to watch beyond that point and he ended up watching the rest of the season alone. :P For some reason, an animal being tortured hits me way harder than a human being tortured. That being said, I seriously hope that you are able to convince yourself to keep reading (even if you do have to give yourself a little break in-between chapters).

Poor fuzzy AJ. It was probably a blessing in disguise that he couldn't remember anything. Glad to see 4/5 of the boys are okay. Looking forward to finding out what the detective has to say.

Author's Response: I have to agree. AJ is better off being a little bit fuzzy on the details. It will probably save him some money on therapy in the near future. :P

Glad I finally got around to reading this chapter. My computer crapped out on me but thank goodness for this Nook. Anyway, I was relieved to see this was from Howie's point of view which meant he was alert and doing better. I loved the exchange he & Nick had. I know in real life it was very opposite whereas Howie was the one Nick seemed to confide in most,but I enjoyed this take on things. He certainly was a big old butthead to Howie often. Now that they almost lost him, maybe they won't be so quick to take him for granted. Looking forward to hearing this press conference. As always, nicely done!

Author's Response: Computer problems are the worst ... mine almost always seem to be Internet related. :( I agree that the opposite is true of Nick and Howie's relationship in real life (especially nowadays), but I kinda had to spin it the way that I did in order to keep things in line with Howie's feelings earlier in the story. Either way, I'm glad that you enjoyed the Nick/Howie moment. :D
