--- End quote ---

It's not like they don't have a relationship outside of the group, you could write about that. The guys on downtime visiting, or just work him back into the story as a "brother". Just because he's not in the group anymore, doesn't mean that they don't have brotherly relationship. Nick said in some interviews last year that they saw each other with the new baby, and christmas and superbowl, so they still have a tight relationship.

It was hard for me to write about anything because Kevin and Nick's relationship in the group was inspiring most of my stories. But then I started writing about Kevin being outside of the group, but still being involved with the guys and their lives. I really think he still is, esp. with Howie's Dad's health now, you know he's got be helping with that because he went through that himself. And he's always going to worrying about Nick, based on what we've seen, I don't think he could ever just shut that off. lol

It's a challenge, but it's fun to write it from that perspective too... Basically I'm just trying to get you to reconsider retirement. lmao

mare:
I get what you're saying and I do agree with you. I'm sure that Kevin is still a big part of their lives, it's just a part we don't get to see anymore. I was talking more along the lines of the other four. I don't feel that connection. Maybe it's because i'm not really as invested in actually tuning into the newer interviews or watching them together but when I do, I just don't get that 'we're brothers' vibe from them anymore. I feel like when Kevin went away, that did too. I feel more of a separation now like Brian and AJ vs. Howie and Nick. I know that's all about their radio interviews but that's how I also see the actual bonding going.

We'll see though, I am thinking of writing a crossover with Numb3rs and it would be more Au-ish maybe. I just can't see me writing in real time with them anymore. Maybe if I keep the stories pre Kevin leaving or go Alternate universe, but like I said, i'm not really all that into writing long stories about them anymore :( 

I've always come from a semi realisitc and I say semi because *ahem* my stories are far from realistic most times lol but what I mean is as far as what's really going on in their lives. I come from that place. I've never been big on completely making something about them up like a fake girlfriend or fake babies etc... so because of my writing style it makes it difficult to write a present tense Kevin without feeling like i'm making him up, does that make sense? lol That was a very long babbly reply but i'm trying to avoid going out grocery shopping!

Nijntje:
me loves Numb3rs!!

*runs out of this thread again.. trying to come up with some Oprah-questions..*

mare:
^ I was going to say where are all my ten thousand Oprahs and their questions? lol

Sakabelle:
LMAO Mare I just read the part where Nick fell out the window.  How on earth did you come up with this stuff?  It's brilliant!
