I edited my previous BSB post to include the links to this, but now that I've read it...whoa! Very candid in parts and just fascinating.

I think that's the first time AJ has talked about relapsing and why he didn't get married! And they talk about splitting from Johnny and getting back together with him (though no in a lot of detail). And talking about the original lineup for the group, they don't do that often. Brian refers to their 'gay [music] videos'. THERE'S A REFERENCE TO BSB SLASH FICTION!

Thank you for posting that--what a great article...

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Better than I expected.

THERE'S A REFERENCE TO BSB SLASH FICTION!

*dies laughing* I saw that!!!

Thanks for posting these hon. I skimmed it quickly because I'm going to bed soon... but it looks like a great article. Much appreciated, as always.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I found it in backstreetboys, and I had to link to it *g*.

[faithette.livejournal.com]

I agree, that is a wonderful article...

but I missed the reference to bsb slash fiction... where was it?

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

In a sidebar, which has numbers of..., like number of grammys won.

Howie owns 5 hotels?!?

Woah.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I suspect he's invested in them, I doubt he owns them outright by himself *g*. He doesn't own the club Tabu by himself, he's one of several owners.

[lincolnkw.livejournal.com]

even so, the ROI must be nice.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I like to see the guys investing sensibly *g*.

[spiffymissv.livejournal.com]

Thanks, girly! I was pretty surprised about it too... but I'm glad they're being up-front and bluntly honest. It's time the truth about a lot of things came out, ya know?

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

And it's the sort of content that you'd need for a Blender article too *g*.

[emmuzka.livejournal.com]

Augh! It seems like a great article but my eye sight is so bad that I can't read it!

Oh well. Maybe a better scan will how up at sometime.

And! I got your baggage! thank you *so* much! My neigbours heard the squee! (or my friend's neighbours heard, as I watched them with my friend)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Can you save the pictures and make it larger?

Yay, I'm glad they got there ok! Have fun with all the footage :)

[evlarin.livejournal.com]

I don't know if it'll be helpful, but I typed up the article and posted it to my own journal.
You can find the entry at http://www.livejournal.com/users/evlarin/1330.html

...I think I got it typed correctly. There may be a typo here and there, though. If so, I apologize. ^.^

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Wow, thanks for doing that!

[trickyjazzer.livejournal.com]

i haven't read it yet, but i saved the files and will do so later. Thank you!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

There was no way I wasn't linking to these! *g*

What a lovely icon.

[trumpeterofdoom.livejournal.com]

Someone please tell me where they found that ball-gag story, because I'd really like to know. XD

[saba1789.livejournal.com]

Heh, I was all Hey, where can I find this? too. *g*

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I couldn't help googling :)

[isetadrift.livejournal.com]

haha let's not forget part one!

http://www.geocities.com/billy_burrew/getyouback.html

which in my head makes me go, do the guys know about this story? because whoa.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Of all the stuff they could have referred to...

It was the link to the second one that came up on google for me, and I didn't see a link quickly to the first so I was lazy ;)

[saba1789.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, thank you! :-)

[trumpeterofdoom.livejournal.com]

Oh lord. It's crossover as well. XD

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they didn't mention that!

[saba1789.livejournal.com]

Wow, that was really a damn interesting article. Thanks for sharing hon :-) .

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Stuff this good has to be posted about :)

I *know*!!! I kindof fell off the chair laughing, on that one. Heeeeeee!

Of all the stories they could have referred to ::shudder::

[evlarin.livejournal.com]

Okay, was anyone else shuddering in revulsion after reading the line "I'm gonna get me one of those?" I mean, that's not a place my mind wants to go with Lou Pearlman, but I can't seem to stop thinking mean things about him. ^.^; (I try not to - I really do! ^.^; )

...I'm tempted to type it up and post in my journal, but I don't know if that'd be allowed. ^.^; Plus, the formatting would be difficult.

And, hee! Water-soluble shirts. ^.^ Hahah! ^.^

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I love the bit about the water-soluble shirts, so true ;)

[lucybass.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the article. I will definitely have to pick that up when it comes out on stands.
I really appreciate that they are so honest and forthright with information. Makes me appreciate them more as humans.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

It's a really interesting article, better than I was expecting :)

[deliberatehips.livejournal.com]

That was a lovely article, thanks for posting. I'm going to have to buy it. Blender always has nice articles that cut through the crap that you find in everything else. And, god, how did the writers or the research people find that particular fic in all the massive amounts of BSB fic out there?

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Of all the fanfic websites in all the internet...they had to surf into that one.
