LOL The stories I wrote when I was 14-15 are still online in all their cringey glory, so I get it.  But Mare is right; most writers would agree that any review is better than nothing!  I appreciate each and every one.  And, honestly, I love the ones with all caps and exclamation points and begging for updates because that shows excitement over something I've written, which is awesome!!  I met one of my best friends in the BSB fandom over 20 years ago when she would send me enthusiastic emails full of exclamation points every time I updated.  I would reply back just as eagerly, which led to an online friendship that eventually transitioned to an offline friendship once we were both adults and able to drive to meet each other. (Turns out, we only live a couple hours away from each other!)  She's still my concert buddy and one of the people I'm going to Vegas with this summer.  All this to say, never apologize for leaving reviews like that.  We loved them then and love them still!

It’s taking a couple listens… but the song is slowly growing on me  at first I thought it was too much all at once; and it felt a little weird to hear because my mind is so used to the rascal flatts version.

It was nice to see they were number one on the country billboard charts. It would be kind of funny if this is the song that finally gets them a Grammy. lol

Who could forget those bot flies! lol

I liked the Hollow more than Dead 7. See, this is where I would probably skip a movie unless it was bearable to watch. lol But I'd be happy for you guys!

I liked The Hollow too, I've got the DVD.  Dead 7 was quite terrible lol, but fun.

I really love that song What Hurts The Most, I'd never heard of it before and it's completely stuck in my head and been on repeat.  It really suits their voices I think.

I've written my fair share of cringe worthy stuff! But I can tell you this, it really doesn't matter what kind of review you left, anything makes a difference to us. I would be happy when all I'd get is a "YAY!" "Good job!" Or "Update!!!" Because at least you took the time to say something which is more than a lot of people do.

It really is heartbreaking!  I used to feel like I exaggerated my portrayal of Jane, in particular, in older stories like Broken, where I made her an antagonist.  But after seeing the awful way she talked about Nick and Lauren on Facebook, how she posted photos of Aaron's bathroom after he died, and now this documentary, I know I didn't exaggerate one bit.  If anything, she's worse than I wrote her.  I know not everyone is fortunate enough to grow up in a stable family with good parents, but seeing this makes me appreciate mine even more.  It's nice to see Nick and Angel trying so hard to break the cycle and do better for their own kids.

Thanks for the compliments! ☺️  Back at ya - Save a Prayer would make an amazing movie!  I wish Nick would make another boyband movie; he could recruit NKOTB to be in that one and bring Bot Fly Jordan to life! LOL

Nick and Bot Fly Jordan would make a great movie lol

Hi Steph. Nice to meet you! 

I finally logged back into my account on the main site just to see what my reviews were like back in the day (i.e. 2010... I feel like I'm so much younger than everyone else. I'm 30 currently, for reference) And I just want to give great thanks and immense apologies to all my favorite writers for putting up with my 15 year old brain's idea of a review... there's so much all caps and pestering authors for updates. It's like the writing equivalent of pestering an actor on if their working or what their next gig is... ugh. (I'm glad that AC taught me the importance of engagement. I remember that there was challenges back in the day to review every story you read in a month or something, I think; but, like, you guys could have said something. Lol.) I'm cringing and and laughing and yet, oddly, nostalgic at being able to view the reviews at all... I'm still in shock that so much time has passed.

And I'm probably one of the oldest on here but my writing isn't mature like Julie or Mare's lol.  We can all cringe at things we've written/done in the past

Oh yes, another of Nick's movies would be great! Dead 7 was so bad but I liked it lol

Yeah... I'm always one to give people the benefit of the doubt. But the day that she released the Aaron death photos was the absolute final straw for me. I know grief and shock are a thing... but like there's no coming back from that... those photos are shoved in everyone's faces for now and forever more. It makes me so sad for Nick and Angel's kids when thinking about it... because like half the time I can't even bring myself to type in Aaron's name to listen his older music anymore; those kids are going to be faced with that someday... I've just now slowly started again listening to his older albums again; but I'm always real quick searching and glancing at thumbnails because youtube shorts and clickbait youtubers love to use the photos for shock value... i've tried hitting the ignore button and reporting; but it still makes me sick because I feel like they're everywhere and they shouldn't and didn't have to be, ya'know. Jane could have kept things quiet behind the scenes (gone to the cops with her conspiracy theories.) ... instead, she pulled another one of her stunts and now everyone (globally) gets to be damaged and mentally scarred by it... (ugh. It makes me so mad.)

On a happier note, I also wish Nick would make another movie. I remember really enjoying Dead 7 when it premiered on Syfy.
