In an effort to make everyone's life easier, I decided to give Hosted Stories their own little corner of MANIA. The main Library page was taking quite a bit of time to load and since patience is a rare virtue these days, we decided to make your Library experience more enjoyable. (Now will you stop all those emails riddled with complaints about loading time? Yeesh.) In an effort to please you, the faithful MANIAc, I'm gonna spare ya the detailed disclaimer crap. Suffice it to say, "We dunno them. They dunno us".

**You may notice that the ratings of these hosted stories may 'overshoot' their true bracket, had they been films and not fan fic. I'm a firm believer in being responsible, and that feature is simply my way of making sure young eyes don't stumble upon something that may not necessarily be appropriate for them.**

If you'd like to read our (Jessi and Carrie Ann) stories, go back to the main Library page. If ya wanna point and click on the Library Features we know you're addicted to, go back to the main Library page. If you're sick of me playing "web attendant", click HERE to traverse BACK to the Library and be done with it. :)

One last warning that I suggest you heed: Don't you dare go taking any of the material on this page without the express permission of the author. (In other words: don't plagerise) If you do, the MANIA Mavens will be forced to chase down your sorry butt.

Now, point and click your way to the novel of your choice and have fun! :0)

If Only In Our Dreams, written by Kim Ann.

You'd be depriving yourself of a wonderful experience if you let your boyband preferences dictate whether or not you read this story. It's up to you, but both Carrie Ann and Jessi highly recommend this piece! And keep an eye out for the sequel.... MANIA Rating: PG Status: *COMPLETE*
