Hey there, I'm Mack!
I've been writing fanfics in general since I was 11 but I tackled *NSYNC fanfics when I discovered this site when I was 16 and I've loved it here ever since. I may get older but I'll never stop writing for these boys that bring so much joy to my life.

You can't sway someone's heart by force. You're not ready for the relationship you think you are. All you need is a little time and some patience.
Bravo. Bra-freakin'-vo. Working on telling the story of frustration and longing in an age-gap relationship is tough but, girl, you knocked it out of the park! Like I said, it's a realistic take that I'm very appreciative of and found very satisfying even if they aren't together here (which, I mean, you can always add an epilogue in the future to see what happens. Just sayin'. No pressure.)
As you know, I love reading Zahra and JC no matter which way I get it. Her sass coupled with his fact-based outlook is something I'll eat up with a spoon no matter how many different ways you serve it. And I think what makes me so connected is I get it.
I get that feeling of wanting to be with someone that just doesn't view you the same way for one reason or another. You have a way of putting my feelings down on paper that makes me feel less crazy for having them in the first place. An artiste, you are! Also, very motivating I have to say. After reading this, it's kicked me in the ass to get more of my own nsync fics done. I've written bits and pieces over the years but now this has really jumpstarted me diving back in.
Thank you for writing this. Thank you for sharing with us. Thank you for helping me feel seen. Love ya!
Oooh, color me intruiged! JuC/Joshtin is a relationship I like to see explored in fics and having that along with this premise hits all the right marks for me. Also, that you mentioned the movie Opening Night. Gah, JC's scene near the end nearly KILLED me. I can't wait to see what you do next! Please update whenever you can!
Rachel Bass loved JC Chasez from the moment she met him. JC had loved her just as long. Before they could confess their feelings, fate stepped in. Now fifteen years later, they are standing in front of each other once again with those same feelings from all those years ago.
This was a good intro to the characters. Though I gotta disagree with Kenzie, Samoas are THE BEST girl scout cookies! The flow of thier conversation was great, I can't wait to read more. And I don't have to because it's all right here! Yay!
Author's Response: Thank you for the review! I'll fight you on the best girl scout cookie1 It's all about thin mints!
Rachel Bass lets it slip on her brother's radio show on who she would bang, marry, and kill in regards to the members of *NSYNC. What happens when they find out?
This was cute, funny, and hot all at once! You actually had me laughing out loud in parts reading over thier group text conversation. I came back to the site to hopefully read some new stuff while preparing to get back in the saddle myself, as it were, and your writing has NOT disappointed. I loved this so much and the ending line was so good! A nice neat little bow of an ending. Great job!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!! My smut scenes are usually hit or miss but this one... I needed a cigarette after!
Sabrina Victor and Kelsey Morrissey have nothing in common - except that they were both married to JC Chasez. Now, with JC's third wedding approaching, Sabrina and Kelsey must somehow form a bond of solidarity for the sake of their children.
Ahhhh, man coming back to this fic is like getting snuggled in a nice warm cozy blanket. I'm still enjoying this and I love how complex the whole situation is.
That the girls are allowed to be angry and feel cheated (wasn't going for an on the nose word but it works) while JC moves onto someone else and seemingly into a "happier" marriage. I also really adore Beckett and Aria.
Also "Tinstletown"? Gold. Like this fic. Pure gold.
As I said, loved reading it again. Can't wait to see how everything wraps up! (Hopefully the end isn't too near. I want this fic to go on forever if possible!) Glad to see an old face aroujnd these parts!
"I cross the room, my satin gown swishing, my pearl earrings glimmering, giving him every possible reminder that I’m about to walk out of his life for good if he doesn’t make the move he needs to make. That I need him to make."
What a way to kick of the summer challenge! Short, sweet, and to the point and still holding your usual brand of palpable emotions. Your ability to set the scene that makes me feel as if I'm watching an intimate conversation? Top notch! And you still always find a way to write JC where I want to simultaneously hug him and throw him down on a bed.
This snippet has me wanting more, wanting to know how Jules and JC got ot that point and wanting to know what happens afterwards and how things are tied up. You have a way with words, lady, and I feel so lucky that I get to read them. Thanks for sharing with us!
Author's Response: Thank you Mack! I appreciate your kind words. Your turn! Gimme some words man.
Soul mate identifying marks were just another check in the box telling Lance he was wrong.
I really enjoyed this concept and I like that you put it through Lance's eyes. I can see how anyone in his position would feel kind of branded when having a soulmate mark rather than it being what it is. The last line just about killed me. Hell, reading each of their views on their soulmate marks killed me in different ways. I loved this so much, thanks for sharing with us! Your writing is amazing as always!
Author's Response: I read a story about soulmates on Ao3 awhile ago. I've been wanting to do my own version of it. It was really hard to adhere to only 1000 words! Thank you for your kind words.
At the dawn of the new Millenium, JC takes a chance at a new life and love by taking a job designing a website for an Illinois based department store. What will he learn on this new life journey? Will he fit it with the bunch of misfits in the IT department? And, will he risk it all when he meets the CEO’s daughter Rebecca?
I love this fic. This alt universe is so creative and puts an interesting twist on their personalities and the situations they can all be put in. Also the little chapter summary for this one "Rachel does some stupid shit" made me laugh, especially after reading this chapter! It was so funny! Please write more of this!
Hmmm, color me intruiged! I like the area you put them; the IT department is a eclectic bunch of pepole and personalites and I'm loving how you have all the guys fit in. I really enjoy Rebecca and JC's dynamic especially where she had a crises for thinking he has a big penis and then this exchange:
“There is nothing I want more than to work with you, Mr. Shaz-ay—“
“Sha-zay,” he corrected her.
“Shaz-ay. I look forward to our project together.”
I can't wait to see where you go with this!
Hey! Sorry for the super late reply! I’m actually shit at this kind of thing! Thanks for the comment! Have a great day! Exclamation point!
Friday Night in an Alternate Universe where the guys are friends and coworkers
You may find it hard to write anyone but JC, but I gotta say you hit the nail on the head for each of them here. Making fun of Justin, Joey's hung like a horse comment, JC's retelling fo the story, this all felt like I was listening in on a conversation they were having. Throwing them into an alternate universe where some of them work for SVU and some are detectives and work special cases is tough but it still felt like them despite the new occupations and it worked exceptionally well here. I know this is probably a universe you won't go back to but, if you ever do, I'm here for it! A wonderful contribution to the summer challenge! You've done it again, MissM!
Thank you! It was fun imagining their gestures. It's so hard to do this well and keep it short.
Just a little something something for THE MAN's birthday. I can't NOT write something for JC's birthday, though this year I thought I was going to get away with not doing it. At the last minute I decided to shoot something out. It is not anything fancy or deep and it's more drabble length but I could not let this day pass without writing something. Maybe next year I'll give myself a little more time, huh? It's not a surprise.
Every time you write something new you create a character that breathes such life into your stories that I love them so much, even if we only get snippets of them. I like Char and I like her outlook on the physical therapy. It's not easy and sometimes encouragement can cross the line and come across as fake and annoying. That she has no problem calling it out earned her points in my book (plus, subbing in the name Prince of Torture killed me).
I enjoy that they have the space to be real with each other; with JC seeing Char in this position, the vulnerabilities would be stripped away real fast and so that they can have heart to hearts like this (JC having someone to tell about switching his part time gig to his full time gig and Char being up front with asking him about his thoughts on her wheelchair) is sweet. It's clear they have a lot of trust in one another even without the unfortunate circumstances making them have to have trust on that level, and if anything were to be written about them later I can see that they would work really well with that foundation.
What a great entry to the big man's big day! I loved this!
If I had time, and felt like I could write Char with a more informed POV this would be a nice longer story! Thanks Mack!
JC and the guys from NSYNC are preparing to finish their newest album No Strings Attached when JC gets extradited back to LA on a murder charge. JC had thought he'd put the year he spent in LA after MMC behind him, but the past has returned and now the secrets he's kept are threatening everything.
Great intro! And super creative, as always! I look forward to anything and everything new that you post, you always have great ideas and new takes on little bits in their history that need gaps filled in with your own twists and turns. This is definitely one of them and I'm already super hooked and can't see what JC did (or didn't do) and how it all unfolds! Amazing!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I appreciate everything you said, and that you're a loyal reader. When I saw your comment I swear it made me smile so big - you totally just made my day! I'll get the next chapter posted soon. Thanks again for reading/reviewing! I love hearing from you. :)
JC Chasez, once hailed as a teenage sensation on the Disney channel's "The All New Mickey Mouse Club," soared to global superstardom as the charismatic frontman of the boyband *Nsync. However, the spotlight that once bathed him in glory gradually dimmed, leaving his attempts at a solo career to falter amidst the shadows of past success.
Years after *Nsync's indefinite hiatus, JC found himself behind the scenes, his once promising solo aspirations supplanted by a role as a talented writer and producer for other artists. The echoes of his past achievements lingered, but the dream of stepping into his own spotlight seemed to have eluded him.
Enter Berkeley Wright Hamilton, a dynamic A&R manager at Worldwide Records, a name synonymous with legendary music production. With an unwavering determination to unearth the next seismic superstar, Berkeley's life is a symphony of discovery and innovation. As the daughter of Rashaad Hamilton, the Founder and CEO of Worldwide Records, she has a legacy to uphold and an insatiable hunger for finding the extraordinary.
As Berkeley delves deeper into JC's world, she uncovers his many layers, while along the way, discovering parts of herself. Together, they embark on a harmonious journey of collaboration and self-discovery, rewriting the narrative that once confined JC to the shadows.
"I don't know," Berkeley answered honestly. "But I do know that I can't leave until I get JC Chasez signed. That'll be my final move. My mic drop moment."
Gotta love a girl with conviction and who knows what she wants. Ethan is a dick but, at the same time, he does have a point. Granted, she has a pointed too. The issue is that no one in the music biz wants to help cultivate and grow with artists anymore, they just want to shove them into a little box. This was great!
"The issue is that no one in the music biz wants to help and grow with artists anymore, they just want to shove them into a little box." You said it!
I wondered if anyone was going to write something about the Ojai thing. It's good inspiration. Not surprised you chose to go the A&R route with this character from all you've gushed to me about the behind the scenes in the music business. I think it fits Berkeley well. (Gonna guess you purposefully named her (somewhat) after the music school because of her lineage). Anyway, this is a good start. Can't wait to see where it leads!
So glad you like it!
Sweet, innocent, teenage love.

JC took a step closer to her, and leaned his head down, their noses just a hairsbreadth apart. "How about from now on, we only date each other?"
I think that was my favorite line. Really captures the days when people have to make sure they were officially "going steady". I can almost hear the tone I bet he's using here. Great job!
It's weird, but I didn't think of anything of that line until you pointed it out, and now it's my favorite! I'm glad you liked it! ILYSM!!!
