Acknowledgements

First of all, I would like to thank the Backstreet Boys for being my inspiration and the inspiration behind my stories, as well as for singing and writing such wonderful music. Brian, AJ, Nick, Howie, and Kevin - I love you!

Next, I would like to thank several of my fellow fanfic authors:

First, to Kristy, for being the first one to host my first story, "Heartache". That meant a lot to me.

Next, to Ali, for also hosting "Heartache".

To Jen, for writing "Blind Love", the very first fanfic I ever read, the story that started my fanfiction addiction.

To Whitney, for writing her story "Where Can We Go From Here", which is probably my all-time favorite fanfic. This story inspired me to write my story, "End of the Road".

To Trinity for writing "Cardio", another one of my favorites. This story had me sobbing when I was reading it, and it helped inspire me to write "Heartache".

To Kristina and Jenna for inspiring me to write my baby, “Broken.” I would never even have considered taking on such a project had it not been for the “Swollen Issues” series.

To all the authors of the stories in the "My Favorite Fanfics" section for writing such awesome stories.

To all of my hosted authors for writing great stories and letting me host them.

To all of the people who have given me awards.

Thanks to my readers and friends:

To Nichole (my #1 fan), Kaz, Susan, Hayley, Louise, Mersey, Kat, Mare, Mipi and Tavo, Tracy, Colleen, Kassie, and Brittany for all their support.

To the people I have based characters on: Jenn, Erin, C, Mike, Josh, Katelynn, Morgan, Rachel, Sammy, Holly, Bianca, Brianna, Krystle, Ash, DWM, Tim, and TJ, not to mention the rest of the CB cast and the cameos in “Broken” and “By My Side.”

To my other online buddies: Julie, Kate, Melissa, Kelsey, Annie, Dee, Vanessa, Laura, Megan, Shawn, Amber, Lyndsay, Jennie, Gundy, Katrin, and anyone else I forgot to name.

To The Force – Obi Wan, Luke, Sebulba, Ewok, and Chewy

To the Alter Egos – Bakanegi, Mame-chan, and Yasai Suki

To Sammy, one of my best friends, for all her help with writing “The Terror Chronicles” and for being such a cool person.

To Rachel, another of my best friends, who was the first person to ever give me feedback, and who since has been a great friend to me by hosting my stories, helping me with story ideas, complimenting me all the time, and helping me "Fight for Survival," “Visions of the Past,” and all the others we’ve written together.

And finally, to Bianca, my partner in crime, one half of The Magnifelous Duo, Obi Wan Kenobi to my Master Yoda, for letting me base characters on her, for never failing to send me feedback, for helping me out with CB and writing NON with me, and simply for being there. DA!!! b^__^d

Thanks to my judges for the 2000 Dreamer’s Sanctuary Awards: Rachel, Kerry, Destiny, Gina, Ashley, Amaris, Stephanie, Caitlin, Roxanne, and Shawn. Thanks a lot guys!

Thanks to Jenna for helping me out with making frames for this site.

And finally, thank you to everyone that has read my stories, especially those who have taken the time to email me or sign my guestbook. You have no idea how much that means to me. I save every piece of feedback I get. They are all special to me, and whenever I get one, it makes my day.

Thank you all, and I hope you will all keep coming back to my page and enjoying my stories.
