Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2001 22:15:03 -0700 (PDT) From: Jayson Vascardi Subject: Nick and Brian Note Hey ya'll, Contrary to popular belief, I have not died, been abducted by aliens, or stopped writing Nick and Brian. I realize that the story hasn't been updated at all since April of 2001, but please know that I am working on the next installment. I can't be sure as to when Chapters 80-82 will be posted, but I can assure you that they will be posted. I'm hoping for before the end of September. I'm sorry that the new installment has taken so long, but I've been very busy with other things. There are of course my other two series, Affairs of the Heart, and The Perfect Couple, and then there's my family obligations, plus my job, my slash site, and my work with the Boy Band Story Awards. At any rate, I just wanted to let ya'll know that even if I take awhile to update sometimes, Nick and Brian will not be over until the 125th Chapter has been posted. If you like Nick and Brian, I ask that you please email me and tell me. I write the series for my own personal satisfaction, but words of encouragement from the people who are reading the series and enjoying it are always nice, and only serves to make me want to write even more. Even if you've read the story and didn't like it, I want to hear from you. Let me know what it is you didn't like about the story, and then perhaps I can improve the story. Suggestions for improvements to the story are always welcome. I can't always guarantee that I'll use them, but they're welcome just the same. Before I bring this note to a close, I just want to mention one more thing. If you've added me to your ICQ or AOL IM lists, please know that I am not currently running either program, because my desktop computer is in the shop for repairs, and I currently have to use my laptop computer. So, I do not have ICQ or AOL IM installed on it, and probably never will, because I prefer to use my desktop computer for the internet. Anyway, thanks for reading Nick and Brian, and I hope ya'll continue to enjoy it in the future. :) Sincerely, Jayson Colin Vascardi JCVascardi@yahoo.com ICQ: 53886549 AOL IM: JCVascardi
