"the mind of a writer can be a truly terrifying thing. isolated, neurotic, caffeine-addled, crippled by procrastination, consumed by feelings of panic, self-loathing, and soul-crushing inadequacy. and that's on a good day." ~robert de niro
i started writing nsync fanfic in '98 so i'm like, way old school.
this is the home of my caffeine addicted, smut writing alter ego. i'm way less inappropriate in my real life. i like writing about jc. that voice, that face, and that vaguely enigmatic personality just do it for me.
oh my gosh!! cliffhanger. I hope Libby's ok and that the unidentified woman isn't her...although I'm willing to bet it is. On to the next chapter.... I'm really enjoying this, by the way!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying it. :)
I'm all caught up and I have so. many. thoughts!
First of all, both Clare AND JC are on my LAST NERVE! I understand her hurt, and even her anger (and I'll get on JC in a moment here) but she's acting like he cheated on her, which technically, he didn't do. I want her to take a deep breath and think things through for a moment, because she's clearly an intelligent young lady with a good head on her shoulders.
And as for JC? Oh. My. Word. I want to slap him. It's a good thing he's so good looking. ;-) He's handled everything poorly from the beginning. Before telling Clare that he and Alyson were getting back together, he should've led with the 'baby' tidbit. And now that he knows the baby isn't his, I want him to YELL IT AT HER. He's waiting for her to calm down and be rational before he talks to her, which she clearly is in no danger of being any time soon, so he needs to grab her by her shoulders, firmly, and tell her there's no baby and there's no Alyson. Sure, that doesn't solve everything and they still need to work their way back to each other, but I blame him for not being more proactive about handling things. Leave it to Joey to figure out how to put them together so they can work it out. I can't wait to see how it all resolves and they both realize how freaking silly they've been. ;-)
Yay! Justin and Libby finally admit their feelings for each other. And it only took a near death experience. LOL I hope they're able to settle into some nice normalcy; lord knows they need no more drama.
Is Lisa's mystery illness going to be revealed? I'm worried about her! And I love, LOVE your characterization of Chris.
I'm eagerly awaiting another update! Great stuff!
I would say that I'm sad this one is over, but I'm eagerly anticipating part 2 so I guess it isn't such a sad thing. I LOVED the ending. Also? I need Clare to get her life right and make nice with JC. ;-) Can't wait to read part 2!
Author's Response: Aw, thank you. That was such a lovely thing to say. I hope you guys can be patient until Clare gets her act together; I know she's annoying at times! Believe me, the outcome will be worth it. She'll have to crack eventually!
"House of Cards" re-write, sequel to "Card Castle,", part 2 of the "Deck of Cards" series.
Won "Impressive Characterization of Lance" in NF's Season 9 Awards.
In the wake of the publicized trial against Lou Pearlman, and recording of the highly anticipated second *NSYNC album, No Strings Attached, the boys look to hire a new bass player that can help promote their new sound at their live shows. That’s where Lance Bass’s friend, Annaleigh ‘Ace’ Carr, comes in. However, all bets might be off even before all the cards were even laid out on the table.
Lance Bass: Southern, compassionate, and fun loving fifth member of the ever popular boy band *NSYNC. Recovering from the surprising, sudden, and public court case win against the group’s creator, it looks like the boy band has everything going for them. With a new manager, new music, a new live band member in the form of his old friend, and new lives free from the master puppet Lou Pearlman the only way they can go is up. With his puppet strings clipped, Lance takes the time to learn about himself with no strings holding him back.
Annaleigh ‘Ace’ Carr: Smart, feisty, witty, sometimes scatterbrained, perfectionist; all the things that make up a hard working bass player. It was all the attributes that caught the attention of *NSYNC with the intention of hiring her as the new bass player for their live band. Traveling around the world, seeing the sights, meeting the people, and working with five of the hottest men on the planet; who wouldn’t want a job like that? She’s used to being in the background, following in Lance’s footsteps, but with her job on the line, she has to learn how to put herself in the forefront and deal with secrets that will shake her foundation to the core.
wow, this chapter is a doozy! all of the info about anna's parents. and the fact that everyone around her knows but her. i can imagine she is going to be less than thrilled when it all comes out. wow. great stuff, aj!
a kiss! finaaaaaalllllyyyyyyy!
i love that you included a link for her outfit!
ace is such a great character and i'm really enjoying getting to know her more through her interactions with her family and friends. i can't wait to see whta happens when she (naturally) makes the band!
nooo! her mom left?! i was so hoping they worked things out! and are Ace and Darren going to get together anytime soon because...!!! :-D i'm loving it!
Author's Response: Yeah...it was hard not to tell you that. haha. Just keep reading ;)
“I swear, that thing would shit a data brick if it actually had feelings.”
LOL!! I know JC's just being pragmatic, but dude, don't be a buzzkill! :D
oh, clare clare clare. jc finally got it all out and that's your response? she's being so rough on him about going back to alyson and the way he handled all of that. he handled it poorly to be sure (but he is a guy, and sometimes they don't think things through well), but like chris said, they weren't together. and a shared kiss and some flirting does not a committment make.
all that said, i'm still in her corner. do i think she's being mulish and kind of a little ridiculous? yes, totally. but at the same time, after everything that happened with libby, and how traumatic and scary that time was, i can also see how, emotionally, she's not in a necessarily stable place. and she feels like jc deserted her. i also figure there could be some backstory explanation for why she is the way she is, which could totally tie in to how she's being with jc. i really hope he has enough fire and steel in himself to continue to pursue her and not to let her continue to shut him out.
poor libby. i hope her migraines aren't a sign of a bigger issue. and will the mystery of lisa's illness ever be revealed? good stuff, hon! i'm looking forward (as always!) to more!
Anything can change in a hundred days.
Runner-up - Plot With Pizzazz, Season 8
“Yes, sir. No, sir. Mr. Bass, can I blow you, sir.”
DEAD. i think i may even like katherine better than stephanie...and that's saying a lot.
really interesting concept! bad, bad, lance. tax evasion?! i like badass kinda asshole lance. also, i wonder what katherine's going to say to make sarah agree.
and WHAT THE HELL happened with sarah's dad?!
Is it too much to think that from Day Two on, this really will be easy? That we can manage our way through this and reach normalcy, if nothing else?
yes, lance. as a matter of fact, it is WAY too much.
before i continue, i would just like to let you know that i'm more than a little pissed at you. i have a strict policy, usually, that i do NOT start stories that suck me in unless and until THEY ARE FINISHED.
DAMN. IT.
What happens when you see something, that is not really there??
A Halloween story.. :)
I do not know the *NSYNC guys..for entertainment purposes only..
sad, but sweet story. i'm glad kristalynn got somewhat of a happy ending. :-)
Author's Response: Yes.. :) Thanks for reviewing!
JC balances a successful solo career with a happy marriage/family
every time i read the line where claire tells jc that she'll wear his pretty skin if he hurts ellie, i laugh out loud picturing his confused/terrified expression.
cant wait for chapter 3!
