Forever and a Year was one of the first stories I ever wrote in the *NSYNC slash fandom. It's by far the longest story I've ever written, period. I'm fond of this story, not because I think it's a wonderfully written story (it has quite a few flaws), but because through this story a number of good things happened to me. I think that it's through this story that I got a lot of experience as a writer. I got a real feel for the kind of style I would go on to use in the future. To make it incredibly cliché, this story really helped me grow as a writer. I also happened to make many, many wonderful friends (most of whom you'll find hosted on this domain) while writing this story and I count myself very lucky in that aspect.

Now. Onto the more technical side of this note. When I was re-modeling this website, this story was the only one that absolutely refused to be re-coded. Every other story gave me absolutely no trouble, but Forever and a Year crashed my computer at each attempt to put it into the new format style I've adapted for the rest of this website. Even when I'd split it up into tiny parts, it still refused to code. So I've taken that as a sign (or just given up, either way) and left it as it originally was when I first put it up on my old Angelfire site. When poptrash.org went down, it was the only story I didn't have saved to my computer in any new kind of html format due to a computer crash a few months back. And instead of saying I was too frustrated and maybe a little too lazy to try for the billionth time to re-code it, I think I'll say that leaving this story in it's original format is like keeping a small piece of the old me immortalized on my website. Or something.
