Beta-reader:
I'm an elementary school teacher from Illinois. I started reading Bsb fanfic over the summer of 1999, when I was 14, and I've been writing it for almost as long. My favorite kind of stories to write are drama/angst with a hint of romance, and most of my stories are about Nick, Brian, or AJ.

You can check out my full collection of stories on my site, Dreamer's Sanctuary.

Ahhh, I love this story!!! Like I've always said, it could be a real, non-fanfic novel! You're like the female Nicholas Sparks of Bsb fanfic, girl - keep up the amazing writing! :)

Author's Response: Lemme tell you, you really know how to flatter a girl! *blushing* =D

Ahh, you know I love this story!! Your characters are so real and believable, they drive the story along. And I love this plot - it's every fan's fantasy! Keep up the great work! :)

Author's Response: Aww thanks Juile! LOL! It's so nice of you to review this even tho you're already in the process of reading it.

I really love this story. You took a storyline that could be seen as a teenybopper fantasy and made it believable and realistic. You've done an amazing job with the characterization; I haven't experienced some of the things V and Nick have myself, but I feel like I can relate to them because you've made them so understandable and easy to empathize with. I love how you show their inner thoughts; it really helps because they - Veronica especially - don't always act on their feelings, so it's good to know how they really feel, and you do a great job at showing that. You also keep both sides balanced really well, alternating between Nick's and Veronica's perspectives. Also, I really like the way you're tackling some tough issues, like divorce, self-esteem, parents' opinions of us, etc. and doing a fantastic job with them, while still sticking to the budding romance plot. These issues add to the believability of the story and give it more depth; I'm usually pretty picky about romance cause I get bored with it when there's too much "romance" and not enough of anything else, so I really enjoy the real life sort of drama in this story. Keep up the AMAZING work; I can't wait to read more!!

Author's Response: Aww well thanks ROA! I really appreciate the comments! I've tried hard to make it realistic and believeable, but there's always room for improvement of course. I hope to get better as the story progresses cause there's still so much left to be said and done. As for the issues, I just write about what I know, which is what a close friend of mine once told me. It's life expierences, and I can write it how I see it and I hope it shows in this. Thanks again and I hope you'll continue to read! ;o)

 
Summary:

things still aren't right for Nick since his return from the Japan Tour. He is sick and needs help but will he get it in time before it's too late?

I had put chapters 30 & 31 from SWIII here by mistake. Chapter 30 listed now is correct...I didn't skip any chapters, it just looks like that - too lazy to update #s.

Omg... okay, Nick has been at death's door about 50,000 times in this story already, but I still get scared every time! Please no!! He's been through so much, and just when he seemed to be getting better for real... :(

Awesome chapter! Totally heartwrenching... the end was brutal!

More soon, please!!

Hey! I just found your story and have been reading it - amazing job on it so far!! It seems very realistic; you did a wonderful job with the medical details, making things accurate. It's always nice to see that. I'm not sure if you just knew all of those details because this is based on a true story, or if you did your research, but either way, good job, and thanks! It's always refreshing to see that in fanfics. :)

Author's Response: Thanks for reading it! Actually, a lot of the details are based on a true story, but not all of them, so I have done my \"bit\" of research. And I\'m glad you liked it. =)

This is great so far!! I hardly ever read original fiction online, but I love stories like this, so yours caught my eye, and I'm getting into it already.

My only bit of constructive criticism would be to watch your tenses. Don't switch from past tense to present tense and back to past tense - this chapter does that in places. If you get a chance to go back and edit, that's one thing you might want to watch for.

Other than that, your writing is great!! You really get into your characters' heads, and I like that - makes it easy to relate to them and understand them. :)

Can't wait to see where this is going! Hope you update soon!

Btw, do you read Lurlene McDaniel? Her books were my all-time favorites - probably why I'm enjoying your story! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, check her out - I'm sure you'd like her stuff! :)

Aww, great update! You left me torn between thinking Craig's an asshole, yet understanding where he's coming from at the same time... which is hard to do! Good job! I'm glad you updated; hope you keep 'em coming!

Author's Response: Aww...thanks. Thats what I was hoping to do...leave the reader torn between feeeling like Craig is an ass, but yet kind of feeling bad for him too. Guess I pulled through! You rock! Thanks for all of your support with this one! It really means a lot to me!

Drama!! I almost forgot all about this story until I got the email saying it had been updated... LOL I hda to go back and re-read it to remember what it was about and why I had favorited it, other than the fact that you wrote it. Now I remember! I can't wait for another chapter now! This one was great, especially the end - dying to find out more!

Author's Response: LOL....yeah since I had initially wrote it back in 2007. I had to re-read it myself! Thanks for the feedback!!

Poor Nick... just reading what he's going through made me nervous too! Dying to find out more info. I'm glad he's getting Brian involved. This story reminds me of your old-school stuff; I love it!!

Author's Response: LOL..old-school stuff! :D  I kept thinking about that phrase while I wrote Chapter 7. Thanks for your comments Julie! Totally appreciate it coming from a wonderful fanfic writer!!
