To all those who care to take the time to read this :

In some small way, a pop group, that I will likely never meet, has changed my life. This website in some small way has also changed my life. Through fan fiction, I learned a lot about myself. I have learned that sometimes, there is nothing truly more beautiful then the words strung together to express hopes, dreams, fears, and every other possible thing. Through writing of daydreams of five men from Orlando, Florida, I discovered that I could produce something truly beautiful. I pushed myself to excel and to reach the maximum capability of writing I held within myself. Through stories of Gabby and Justin, and even half of one about Lexi, I learned that there were no limits. The more a person writes, the better they will become. This website was a part of me, as was the writing that I proudly figured out the grueling HTML for and proudly displayed it for all to see. When my hands wrinkle and my hair is sprinkled with grey and I think back to the *NSYNC we all used to love: Joey with his iced out Superman necklace, Justin with his peroxide curls and baby blue everything, Lance with eyes so green who was still growing into a man, JC with clean cut looks and an adorable obsession with sleep, and the ever-insane Chris with dreadlocks and Busta, I shall think of this site.

They have changed and I have changed. Now an 18-year-old college student, writing fiction about people who actually exist has lost all of its appeal. The true secret to fan fiction as it is known is that anyone can create it in their dreams, should they see fit. Those who write fan fiction are simply storytellers sharing their dreams. Being in college I barely have time to breathe let alone sit down and waste time writing fan fiction or conquering the latest computer language. School is much more important.

*NSYNC as we have known them from the Disney channel concert until the last date of the “Celebrity” tour are over for now, as this site is. Should the boys get back together and the mood should strike me to divulge my dreams of *NSYNC over the internet, one never knows. *NSYNCville may return. By no means is this me issuing a statement saying that I hate *NSYNC nor that I have grown out of them… there hasn’t been anything to grow out of as of late. I admittedly do not listen to the music as much, but support each of them in their independent ventures. I will always be an *NSYNC girl.

To those of you who have read my fiction through either the website or the newsletter, I would like to thank you. You have made the hours of tapping away on my keyboard worthwhile. To those of you that have sent me comments, thank you for furthering my desire to write. You’ve made me smile, and that's one of the only things in this world that truly matters.

If you ever feel like contacting me, either to talk about *NSYNC, about the site, or just feel like talking, feel free to e-mail me or IM me at: NSynCville@aol.com. Goodbye for now.

Mary
