Wow, it’s been a long time since we’ve posted anything here! *brushes the dust off our “shiny new site”* But we come bearing good news: 00Carter is back! It’s been almost ten years since we posted our last episode, “A 00Carter Christmas.” After that, we all got busy with other stories, work, family, and life in general. 00Carter became less of a priority, and no one seemed to have the time or energy to try to rally the troops to revive it. Rose and I (Julie) still cared about it and always said we would continue it someday, even if it was just the two of us writing it, but we never made it happen.
Then the pandemic hit, and one of our original co-writers, Dee, came back to the fandom after a long hiatus. As we caught up with each other and renewed our friendship, we talked a lot about fanfiction, and inevitably 00Carter came up. When Dee expressed an interest in writing it again, Rose and I took it as a sign that the time was finally right to revive it. We’ve been working on doing so for the past couple months and have already finished two new episodes! We’ve also done some editing on the old episodes — not changing any plot details, just polishing up the grammar and word choice. In honor of the upcoming fifteenth anniversary of when 00Carter was conceived (January 2, 2007), we decided to repost one old episode each week leading up to the anniversary, when we will debut the new Episode 11: “Mr. Body Beautiful.”
We will also be writing a series of retrospective blogs to go with each episode. We hope our readers who are still around will enjoy rereading the old episodes as they look forward to a new one. We also hope this will help us attract some new readers! So whether you’re here for the first time or coming back after a long time, thanks for being here and reading!
With that being said, today we reposted Episode 1: Carter… Nick Carter. Our first retrospective blog comes from 00Carter‘s creator, Rose, with Dee and I also contributing our thoughts in a little Q&A.
