The move is complete, and everything seems to be working! It's possible that some internet service providers haven't recognized the new server yet and will still direct back to the old site, so if anything looks weird to you, that could be why - it should resolve in the next two days if that's the case. If you notice any broken links, please let me know so I can fix them!

LMFAO!!!
I loved the video, it was a lot better than what I was expecting! Nick was especially spazzy; his weird dancing and cheesy hand motions made me laugh.

Update on this - my domain transfer went through, so I got most of the site moved over today, but of course, Wordpress is being a pain in the ass. So as of right now, everything that is NOT on Wordpress - Song for the Undead, 00Carter, Code Blue, the DS Archive, the Don't Wanna Lose You Now archive, etc. (all the old stuff) - is working fine on the new server. Wordpress is still a mess. I have to wait for the nameserver to switch over until I can work on it more, but I hope to have everything back up and running in a few days. All of my pages, posts, and chapters are backed up and have been transferred to the new server, so I'm not at risk of losing anything; I just need to restore some of the settings. I will keep you posted. Not like anyone would really be worried (except me LOL), but I just didn't want you to wonder what was up if you went to the site today and saw that it was down.

Just a heads up that I'm going to be changing hosts, moving my domain from Yahoo to Bluehost. I don't have a timeline yet for how long that will take, and since I've never done it before, I'm not sure what it will mean in terms of the site's availability. If all goes well, there shouldn't be much, if any, down time, but I just don't know. It's a little scary, but long overdue. I've been hosted through Yahoo since the Geocities days in the beginning, and while they've been good to me, they don't support all the capabilities Wordpress offers that I want to take advantage of, and this new host does. Also, the new host is a lot cheaper, so I'll be saving myself about 10 bucks a month on the cost of the domain. So here's hoping all goes well! Just wanted to warn you in case it doesn't LOL.

Thanks for posting this! I saw it on Twitter and Facebook awhile ago, and it was so weird because I was JUST thinking earlier that she was due to have that baby any day now. Perfect timing! Big baby, too - 9 lbs, 8 oz! I love that he kept the Littrell family tradition alive by having another boy. Now they have enough baby Backstreet Boys to start a boyband! LOL Mason and Maxwell... too cute!

LOL I don't blame you; I definitely had to reread before I started writing on this again. I'm trying to stay four chapters ahead of myself so that if I get hit with writer's block again, I at least have a solid month of updates I can post in the meantime. So I'm actually working on Chapter 17 now.

Guilty Roads has been updated again with Chapter 13! This is another Nick-centered one, which I’m sure most of you don’t mind, but for the Kevin fans, I promise, Kevin is coming up in the next one!
Enjoy the update!

No? Oh man... it's the best musical ever! It about swept the Tonys a couple of years ago.

You’re never going to believe this, but Guilty Roads has been updated with Chapter 12!
I am sincerely sorry that it’s been SO long since the last GR update in January of 2012. I started off strong with this story in June of 2010, and then I got the idea for Curtain Call, and ever since then, there’s always been another story that has sounded better or, to be perfectly honest, easier to write, and Guilty Roads has gotten pushed further and further down the priority list. The good news is that I’ve since finished some of these stories or at least gotten them out of my system, in order to make GR a priority again.
Honestly, this story has not been an easy one to write. As much as I enjoy reading suspense, writing it is a completely different story – it’s hard for me! Add in the fact that this one has a complicated plot with several interweaving storylines that require a lot of research, and this has proven to be quite the challenge.
I held off on posting this chapter until I had made enough progress to ensure I’d be able to update at least a few more times before falling by the wayside again – and hopefully that won’t happen this time. Curtain Call is done, Secrets of the Heart is done, and Song for the Undead is almost done, so I’m not stretched QUITE as thin as I have been for the past three years. I’m really hoping I can keep up the momentum I’ve had going this week and not get blocked again so I can keep churning out chapters because I know some of you have been waiting quite patiently for more for a long time now! I don’t want to disappoint.
I hope you enjoy the update. Please leave a review and let me know if you’re still reading!

This thread is about the musical, not the book. First of all, has anyone else seen it? I've had every word of the original Broadway cast recording memorized for a year, but I finally got to see the real thing in Chicago twice this past winter. It was truly "something incredible." Absolutely hilarious and brilliant! Granted, I'm a South Park fan and would vote for Trey Parker and Matt Stone for president if they ever ran; I love everything they do. But it's a great musical regardless! Secondly, I'm going to put in a shameless plug for the Book of Mormons rewards site. If you follow THIS LINK: big.do/t5nw and join through your Twitter or Facebook account, you will not only earn me 100 points I can put towards free merchandise, but start earning points yourself. I am about halfway to getting a $60 hoodie FOR FREE, but there are only four left, so I need your help! Please click the link and join! If you're not a fan and don't care, you don't have to do anything with it; you can take it off your Twitter/FB after you join. Again, big.do/t5nwIf anyone wants to help me out, post here and let me know it was you who earned me an extra 100 points. As a thank you, I'll include your name in a story! Thanks!!

So what are your thoughts on the new single and any other songs from the album you've heard clips of? Personally, I LOVE "In a World Like This." I like "Permanent Stain," although it sounds too much like "It's Christmas Time Again" without the benefit of being a cheesy Christmas song with a pandaskunk in the video, which makes it inferior. I also like most of the clips they put on YouTube back in April:
I saw there's another video floating around YouTube that has clips of all 12 album tracks, but I've been trying to avoid it because I would like some songs to be a total surprise when I finally get the album on July 30. I love that experience of listening to new BSB songs for the first time and want to hear them the right way.
That said, I'm super excited for the album!!! Anyone else?
