Don't Give In, Don't Give Up

It's been 7 weeks since I updated?
Brb, failing at life :(

Back in the same old school cycle of boredom, grades and nervous breakdowns.
But, I got bit by the writing bug again!

So, since I've been gone forever, I'll let you choose.
Do you want a second chapter of the Nalex, or another chapter of the Gabilliam?

Title: Untitled (as of right now)
Pairings: Nate/Alex; Gabe/William
Rating: PG-13
Warning: Very AU, mpreg, slash, extreme sarcasm
Author Notes: Not the same storyline as WGABM or CDTD. Completely different. This is partially because my best friend is writing me a story I want, so I'm returning the favor with Nalex. It's also because I'm having major writer's block for CDTD and need something to occupy my time.
Just a few notes so you know what's going on in the story: First off, this is AU. No bands. Alex and Gabe are 21, William and Nate are 20. Everyone works in the mall. Alex in a smoothie shop, Nate at Bath and Body Works, William at Borders, and Gabe at FYE.


( Part 1 )

Feedback. Please. :)

I know several of you were upset that Nate wasn't pregnant in the sequel.
Luckily, my good friend aerosolgolfclub has been on my ass to write a pregnant Nate fic. While suffering with writers block for 'Counting Down the Days', I'm working on a Nate/Alex fic, and I'll post it here once I've finished the first chapter.

I know some of you are concerned about what'll happen with the Ryden pregnancy with... the news that we received today.

I just wanted to tell you that this story IS going on, and I WILL continue to write about the pregnancy. Maybe I'll write it into the story, maybe I won't. It all just depends on what mood I'm in at the time. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING will keep me from writing this story.

On a happier note, what would you absolutely LOVE to see happen in this story? Who knows, maybe I'll take some of the comments as suggestions!

Title: Counting Down the Days [2/?]
Pairings: Gabe/William; some minor pairings (Brendon/Ryan, Pete/Pat)
Rating: PG-13
Summary: What happens when you mix parenthood and touring?
Takes place December 2008 - August 2009 (maybe)
Warning: Slash, mpreg, sarcasm,
Author Notes: Sequel to 'We've Got a Big Mess On Our Hands'. Title and cut text from The Summer Set's "Love". I do not own Gabe Saporta or William Beckett, much to my dismay. All of this is fiction.

My friend has been bothering me to post this for the past week, so here it is!
I really want honest opinions. I hadn't written for three months before I wrote this one. So, if you love it or you hate it, just tell me.
Was it what you expected?

You'll all be happy to know (I hope) that I've got the first chapter pretty much done, so I'll update sometime this week!

To answer questions that some people have left:
- It is still mainly Gabe/William.
- The newly pregnant person is getting a slight focus.
- It is going to be chaptered.
- There might be a one-shot written about the other options from the poll.

Who do YOU think is pregnant?

Sorry the sequel is taking forever.
My semester ends the last week of April, and then I'll have time to write.

Anything you want to see happen in the sequel?
Anything you want to critique?
Anything to say at all?
Leave it here.

Comments are screened, so if you want to call me an asshole who can't write, feel free :)

( say something else )
The end, ladies and gentlemen :)
Sequel WILL be coming.

a new chapter is on it's way.
it's just taking me longer than expected.

i somehow did some major damage to both wrists, so i have to type with a brace on both of them. i'm (very slowly and cautiously) typing bits and pieces of it.

and, i would like to say, thank you to ALL my readers.
the next chapter of 'We've Got a Big Mess On Our Hands' WILL be the last of this story, but a sequel will be coming shortly, and I promise you that the last chapter will not disappoint you. there's also another story up my sleeve that i can't wait to start writing.

now, if you'll excuse me, i'm going to squeal incoherently for quite a while, because heath ledger won the oscar everyone knows he deserved.
