The What Would They Think? fanfic challenge was created when it came to our attention that a new breed of fanfics were emerging on the Internet. Orginally part of an effort to slow the exploitation of the Backstreet Boys, WWTT evolved into the specific fanfic challenge it is today. This section has a brief timeline of events that have played a major part in WWTT's history. As we go through our archives, we will be adding new events as we can find them (and accurately portray them.)
