Please please please continue. I love it so much I'm gonna cry. :(

Hi, I know this is pretty late but I only just found this story and it's so good! The characters and pairings are perfect and all that humor and angst and romance all rolled together is like one giant ball of awesome! So anyway please continue!

can i get more please?

Please keep typing! I'm dieing to see what happens with Joe and Nick, as well as Kendall and James. Awsome story, by the way!

Please please PLEEEAAASSE! Please finish this one, I love it!

I think that I'm In The Band takes place in North Park, Colorado. Dammit I think the location was stated once, maybe, probably not, but I can't remember. They did play at the... somethingbowl. IDFK.

Lalala poor Tripp with his "I give Kendall a run for his money because I'm the one who ditched some people first and I ditched FOUR people" and then Kendall's all "Oh yeah? Well technically I ditched like EIGHT people because there's Kelly and Gustavo and mi familia so HA." And then Tripp rapes him in his sleep.

I think before, when there was "no suffix needed" to his name, the correct suffix was "Chicken Noodle Soup" because if I were him, that'd be my suffix. Or I'd at least write my name on all of the soup can labels so it'd be all "Tripp Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup." Unless I'm wrong because um. I tend to make up a bunch of total BS all the time and I don't even know. .

He's so cute, being this big tough guy all buff and short and then secretly he wants to be Kendall's best friend and help him and stuff by being all short and kicking Kendall in the shin. I don't care what you say, he was jealous of Kendall's tallness and was trying to make him shorter. His next target was Justin. Or Oliver. Actually it was James all along. Stupid freaking whatever tallness he is like six two or something.

Really, the heights of Big Time Rush and all their castmates confuses the CRAP out of me and I think the only way to give myself some semblance of sanity would be to meet them and figure things out for myself because it is SO disorienting to figure it out by comparing them all on TV. Carlos is apparently my height but like, short for his age? I don't knowwwww I'm all confused, and then Logan's "short" but taller than Mrs. Knight and it just. It's a freaking parallel universe of height or something I swear to god.

Honestly, this chapter wasn't as fulfilling as I thought it would be, or hoped it would be, but I think it's probably because like you said, he is kind of hard to pin down. I wouldn't have the first clue on how to write Tripp because I guess it's hard to make a character that is kind of a dick but the main character of a Disney show who therefore has to have some sort of morals to make it all wholesome or whatever. Stupid... character makers. Usually I blame everything on Scott Fellows but he's not around this time. That guy has an obsession with cat litter. I need to watch more Ned's Declassified because I bet it's there somewhere too.

I'm so pathetic.

Izzy Izzy Izzy why you gotta be so cold, man? Pretend that Tripp didn't ditch everyone and marry him because I didn't like you two together until that one episode where Derek lost his voice. that was adorable. Just have more moments like that and stop having gentleman callers because Tripp is the only gent... the only guy out there for you. I swear. Why do I even support all these pairings magically. Well I was already cool with this one and BEYOND cool with Kendall and James. it was Justin and alex I was concerned with. And my sanity.

Just give me all your money man.

I'm dying here.

Is it bad that I just loved how he gave up right there? Can he just go bang his way through the door and be all "IZZY I'M HERE TO TAKE YOU HOME" and then they do stuff that is great? Lol last one to a happy ending is a rotten loner bahaha. Actually that might be all of them. Well, except Oliver, obviously. Stop making things so complicated. I have no time to review the other two chapters right now. Tomorrow, for... maybe. Hopefully. I have a DBQ I have to write an essay for now. Fuck. Fucking fuck. Do it for me oh lord of writing. I'll bake you some brownies or something.

I kind of wish all the rest of the chapters would be Kendall. but I'm getting carried away I'm tired. Thank you for your epic writing and if you suddenly tomorrow be like "I'm stopping everything" I WILL go and die. Reviewing like this is actually sort of therapy esque for me because... Well I feel a lot better than I did when I started. I'm sorry I dumped it all on you. ;-;

I think you must have said "horrible" in the A/N at LEAST four times. Lolol. Why would you call my favorite chapter horrible? That's just mean. Then again, it's kind of mean of me to pick my favorite chapters according to my favorite characters. Because, see, I REALLY liked Joe's chapter a lot because he's adorable and I really just said that. Fuuuuuuuuuuuokay.

Stupid angst. There was so much of it. It took me away. Like Lavender Breeze. Lol I'm sure Drake or Josh would make an excellent third wheel to Joe and Justin. I pick Josh so they could all be J names. Lookit, now I'm picking characters for your stories. See look. LOOK. This might just be the reason I don't review your stories as much. More likely, it's the face that I'm convinced I'm the most annoying thing on the planet.

How sad for Kendall, getting ditched by his best friends in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD. And then there's the little part where he was all "Lol fuck you guys I'm gonna go hide in a hole" which is EXACTLY what he did. But he did do it because they ditched him, right? Isn't he all bitterish now? Lol this is the part where you tell me to STOP trying to figure out your characters because I'm doing it SO wrong.

I kind of knew the that infamous "surprise entertainment" was going to be at least ONE of their stalkees. I took a guess and said Izzy because she is awesome but it was James which would have been my second and-a-half guess. I think Nick was somewhere around there. I am ashamed that I might have picked Jonas Brothers over Big Time Rush. -sobsobsob-

I was very VERY glad when James and Kendall didn't just ignore each other because I HATE it when that happens, however realistic it might be. We all love happy endings, which makes it SO depressing when you get things like that one story I can't remember the name of but Kendall pulled a LucyEdmundSusanPeter and met Socrates James. I'll lecture you on that later.

Lol I love how I've gone from talking about the wrong chapter to talking about the wrong story. This is a new low, even for me.

So I had this little scenario in my head where James walked up to Kendall and then Kendall has this little /posse/ who just kind of stare James down and then without even saying anything James gives up and turns around and just leaves lolol. I bet Tripp was giving him the stink eye. And Justin was trying but he got an itch and his nose started twitching, and this is just a guess but Joe was trying WAY too hard and looked scarily intense, and then Oliver was just with his little "I'm a tough guy but not really so stay away from me anyway" stink eye lolol I'm having way too much fun with this. And then Kendall's got that "Try it punk" look he gave Wayne Wayne when he was wearing all that eyeshadow and crap lolol. So yeah James just left.

Really though, they went out back and had this little man talk that was awesome and ended way too... endy. Like, I didn't want it to end but Kendall was being a dicky pansy and I was like "FUCK NO JAMES GO GET HIM" but noooooooooooo James had his own plans.

Kendall, though, he was just like "and now that it's already angsty and disappointing, here's the rest to my backstory trolol enjoy" and I was like "NO" but you know what it wasn't as bad as fucking Joe's ending. not even. So Kendall kind of got lucky this time.

Makes me think of We Could Take To The Highway. JUST TALK ABOUT IT ALREADY YOU GUYS DO ITTTTTT. I know what happens.

Kendall's taking this drive, right? To... the somewhere that is a location within the vicinity of New York City where he lives. Then out of NOWHERE James like sort of careens into the car and rolls over the hood and Kendall's like "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKIN'ELL" so he stops the car and James is like "take me back" and Kendall's like "we were never together" and then James straps him to the hood and makes out with him and Kendall can't even push him off this time because he's stuck. See, that's what james should have done the first time.

So I understand that you are NOT following my thought process here, so I'm going to stop and Tripp time man I love that guy, with the hair and the swagger and the short lol I love the short SO much he's so freaking short. Like Eddy. Oh my god.

"Is Tripp the one with the hair?"

I love how Justin thinks he's above them all, like "Oh hoo, my roommates are SUCH idiots. Preposterous." With a British accent and everything.

And Kendall. And Joe. And Tripp. God, what an asshole, I love it. I have a feeling that all my reviews are gonna be somewhat the same, what with the "Lol this story has Kendall and Joe and Tripp in it lolol" and then I'll probably not talk about Justin or Oliver that much. Maybe. We'll see.

I like how it's like random "ZEKE" because at first I was all confused like "OH GOD NO" but then I remembered Zeke and he's pretty epic and not ginger because GOD. I did laugh when Justin was trying to tell his dad some lies about Tripp and then Tripp was all "NOT ON MY WATCH" and Justin's like "dammit" and then later that night he strangles him or something but I like to think that Tripp is some sort of Kenny reincarnation and therefore has the magic power to come back to life, thus creating the asshole we all know and love today. Seriously. If all I did every time I died was come back to life, I'd be pretty pissed, too.

Now that we've got Tripp all figured out, we can award me the medal for Most Talked About Character In A Review For A Chapter That Really Had Not Much To Do With That Character YAAAAYYYY. As in Justin.

Snooty old Justin who has been humbled by unrequited incesty love. Ffff. "Dad no I hate you all" "But Alex is coming" "ME TOO"

Poor Max. You know. The one in chapter five?

Dammit talk about stuff that's related to the chapter, please. It would helpt if I could remember what happened in each individual chapter. Something I'm apparently bad at. Maybe I'm just not focusing because next is le chapter Kendall and I remember EXACTLY what happened there.

So basically what you have worked out here is some sort of pattern where each character's chapter one is a backstory, and then their chapter two is like... you know, make it better? I don't know, you said "Derp no promises trololol" but then look at chapter six. Yeah one chapter is my proof you got a problem with that? Knowing your stories, I have no idea what you're planning here, if anything at all. Lalala.

This has been an epic fail so... onward to le chapter Kendall!

So I'm in this thing and it's called depression and it makes me have this urge to do nothing at all and just sit there and you know, do nothing. It is a sad day when this is the only time I decide to stop being a jerk and review your stuff. -facepalm-

I saw this story derping around for a while but I never really wanted to read it because I don't like Justin all that much and I try to stay the hell away from the Jonas Brothers, but in the back of my mind I think Joe is pretty hot and I don't tell anyone and keep it my little secret. So I just told you now we can be the keepers of The Secret.

Nevermind.

No really though besides those two I'm cool with it because I used to watch Hannah Montana (another secret at the time lol) and always liked Oliver, and then for some INSANE reason I love I'm In The Band and then I don't even need to say anything about Big Time Rush because ohmygod.

So anyway, I didn't read this until just last night because like. Recently I've been raping I mean raiding your stories and reading them because I really can't get enough of them and I mourn in a hardcore fashion over the fact that I can't figure out the devious ways of LiveJournal because all it does is confuse me and then my computer is stupid and blocks everything anyway because stupid stupid stupid.

The point I'm trying to make here is that I read this.

And I don't even understand because it's SO good and so angsty but I'm laughing at it for some reason...? Plus Joe is like my favorite ever here and why did you do that man why. This is blasphemy. Seriously though he's so cute. And incesty. Did I tell you I have this... thing for incest? It all started with the McCormicks, I think. Bleh. So now we can be twisted together. -sob-

I see the name Oliver and all I can think is "Smokin' Oken." Oh god. And then Lilly that little. I'm getting ahead of myself.

Basically you made everything tie in WONDERFULLY and lol I like how Justin is a little loner in his own world of "I am musically challenged in a world of (in some cases former) pop stars." I love him. Even though I just said I never really liked him. He and Alex are so fun together lol.

Also you made them all mopey and loserish and I can't help thinking this is what college will be like. Hell, it's sorta what life already is. just, here, it's magnified. Into five Mopey Dopes that sit and play video games. Why does Oliver get all the games in his room? How selfish.

I talk too much I talk too much I talk too much. Der.

I guess I've derped too much on this chapter by now, so I'm gonna go ahead and derp more on chapter two. I guess the last thing I have to say is that it was REALLY weird reading this first chapter because it was practically Hannah Montana fan fiction plus a few bonus characters, but since you were gonna switch off between all the characters, I figured it wouldn't be so awkward come next chapter. And even if it didn't switch off, I'd probably keep reading because you write amazing and c'mon, it has Kendall AND Tripp. God they were like, my favorite thing EVER in chapter six. Herp derp. Speaking of chapters after this one, I gotta get on those. See ya in a second. -slapped multiple times-

Another amazing chapter! Glad that things started to work out

I like the humour in it, I mean "allergic to vagina" really slayed me haha

And I like the use of Niley in this compared to the story universe, but things always work out the way they should be

Anyways, just great, and can't wait for another update soon D

that. was. sooo. worth. the. wait.:]

haHA. triumph of the fluff!

Gotta say, I didn't expect I'd get sucked into a story about a bunch of guys from some tween shows who sit around all day being mopey, but it turns out this is awesome crack. I have no idea if you ever plan on updating this story again, but if you happen to, it would make me deliriously happy.

please please please WRITE MORE

Oh my. This is so, so amazing. Please update. (I'm such a hypocrite -_-')

Anyway, haha. This is such a great story, and I can't wait until the next chapter. :D
