First the easiest and most asked question I get. "Are you Samantha?" For the most part, yes I am. Samantha looks like me as far as hair, eyes and height go, though I think I have given her a better body than I have! Samantha's life & education is quite a bit like mine. I have taken ballet and gymnastics classes. I graduated from high school earlier than my chronological peers, but not at 14. I have worked as a photographer and I do design webpages. I am not a doctor (too gory for me). I work as a graphics/webpage designer and personal assitant to an independent contractor. Not the most glamorous job, but I love it! The reference to my Dad being an alternate for the Olympic Swim Team is the truth. My Dad is still a great swimmer! Beyond these references if you have read Chapter 11 of Weekend Plans, then you also know it is true.

The second most frequently asked question is probably "Have you done the things you write about? If not, where do you get your ideas?" I am not going to answer the first part of this question here and I have not answered it in the e-mails I have received. All I will say is...try it for yourself. As for where do I get my ideas...if I answered that then everyone could write like I do! Let's just say there was a time in my life when I wanted to look like I knew what I was doing so I read quite a few books and magazine articles. Enough said!

"Do you model your characters after your friends?" For the most part no. Unless otherwise stated, all characters are fictitious and any resemblence to people living or dead is coincidental. I did use the name of a friend of mine named Karen in the Nick short story because it was her idea and her situation. I only wrote it!

Now for the part of the FAQ about the e-mails I have received which have bothered me a bit. First and foremost-IF YOUR MOM WOULD NOT APPROVE OF YOU READING WHAT I WRITE THEN WHY ARE YOU HERE? PLEASE HEED MY WARNING AND LEAVE NOW! Remember my stories are FICTION! I do not know Kevin, Howie, Brian, A.J. or Nick! Therefore I have to say the following:

* To the best of my knowledge, Nick WAS NOT arrested for speeding during his recent trip to Tennessee, nor did he engage in sexual intercourse with ANY member of the police force or the state patrol!
* Despite what some Brian fans would like to believe, LeighAnne is alive and well! LeighAnne did NOT die in a car accident! The character of Caleigh is FICTIOUS! I thought Brian would be the best guy to carry out my storyline and I got the name from a baby book of names. I personally like LeighAnne, I have no reason not to. I have met LeighAnne and I can honestly say she is very nice and very sweet and sorry to anyone who disagrees but she is also very pretty.
* As previously stated, I do not personally know any member of the Backstreet Boys so I am sorry but I cannot give you their e-mail addresses nor can I ask Kevin or Nick to be your Prom date! Also, even if I did know the Backstreet Boys and could ask them on your behalf, I am pretty sure they would say their schedule is too tight for them to be the entertainment at your homecoming dance this fall...
* Once again, my characters are FICTITIOUS! Just because your name is Caleigh does not mean I wrote the story about you so PLEASE do not write to me and tell me what you look like so I can get the character details correct!
* Lastly, for those of you who belong to the heinous group with the WWTT logo...GROW UP and realize the Backstreet Boys are grown men with sexual fantasies of their own! WHAT WOULD THEY THINK???? I have discussed this in great detail with the some of my "fans" and the consensus is-All of them would find this entire site amusing. A.J. might get some new ideas and overall think my page is informative! Howard would probably say I have given him a better sex life than he has had in a long time. Brian-would blush but would like the way I portrayed him as a family man and a man not afraid to show his emotions. Nick- is a mystery to everyone! His eyes would probably pop out of his head and he might want to meet Officer Masters!

I hope the last FAQ series of answers did not seem too harsh. I am not trying to make fun of or mock anyone who has written to me. I am disturbed (and EXTREMELY flattered) when people write to me and think my stories are true. But think about it...if I really were dating Howie (the thought of which makes my stomach quiver nervously), do you really think I would write in such detail, our sexual activities? To my knowledge, none of the Backstreet Boys even know this page exists! Everything here is NOT REAL! The chances of the Backstreet Boys stumbling onto this page are a million to one! I know they spend time online but do you really think they go to sites with Fan Fiction and visuals on them? I don't think so! For one thing they wouldn't have the time. For another, they probably have specific sites where they go and I am sure sites like this are not on their priority list! I am proud of what I write, don't get me wrong. I just don't feel there is any need to get overly excited about a site YOU find offensive when chances are the Backstreet Boys have no idea it exists!

In the end, PLEASE keep e-mailing me with your thoughts and feelings on my stories. I do value what you have to say and I DO consider what you say when I write. Brian was happily married before he had sex yet right? That is because most of you did not want him to have sex unless he was married...see I listen! ;o)
