Hey Julie.....coul d you put down the name of the stories too when you get done with a round? Some of them sounded pretty interesting and I may want to read!!

That's a good idea.  I already deleted their PMs last night so I could figure out which entries I hadn't used yet, and I don't remember all of the stories.  I know Dee's (nicksgal) was from Pandora's Box (right, Dee?).  The others, I don't remember for sure... they'll have to post and tell you.

oh and p.s. I was getting your responses on yahoo, julie...i think. unless there were sometimes when i didn't respond at all. i think my yahoo's been screwy lately cuz i haven't been able to talk to kelly on it lately *kicks yahoo*

For me, it was nice to just get a glimpse of people's writing styles especially since I suck so badly when it comes to actually reading fanfiction.

Yup. :) I changed the names to be sneaky though. Since keeping "Minako" and "Renee" as the names would have given it away. ;)

I won't tell you which fake name is Minako and which fake name is Renee though, you'll just have to read and find out. lol

And if it makes anyone feel better, I picked a generic part on purpose so it would be tricky. lol

I think that's a good thing - it means either everyone has read that story, or has read enough of your writing to know your writing style.  Or they were just lucky guesses LOL.

haha I don't think many have read that story. In fact it's not even posted on AC anymore because I'm not sure if I'll ever finish  it. I should though. I like it, I just never work on it for some reason.

I guess it just sounds like me. whatever that is.

That's why this game is interesting... we can see if it's possible to tell someone's writing just by their "voice" or whatever.

Yup, in which case you have to wonder if it's better for people to not guess right or to guess right. lol I guess it depends on the author's view on things. On the one hand it could be awesome if no one guesses because it just shows you have versatility? or if you can tell it means you have a difinitive style.

Or they could just be unlucky or lucky guesses lol

Either way, it's a fun game.

and Kelly, don't feel bad. The only one I got right was Mersey and it's because I sent it in. lol

actually I kind of giggled when you were the only one who got me wrong cause I was definite sure you've never read this one. haha. It's my attempt at a Nick drama. which is probably why I never update and why it's obscure. I'm not exactly known for my Nick drama.


yeah, I also wonder if it's a good thing or not. I think it could be and yet it might get tiresome. you know what I mean?   I mean I think I have some versatility as a writer as being able to write in different genres.  Like I was nominated for 5 different stories, at the felix awards, all in different genres, which I feel is quite the accomplishment, yet I think when you read my stuff, you can always tell that Kelly wrote it. I feel I have a very distinct voice as a writer.  But is that good or bad? I think it can work both ways. Having people recognize me can be good, but will they eventually get tired of it, and do I sound repetitive. That's where my major concern would be.

I think we all feel like that to an extent. I worry about being too predictable all the time, that's why my April challenge is going to be a very different one. lol

LOL I think almost everyone knew it was her. I was kind if hoping that her and I would be in the same game because so many times people get us confused. I wanted to see if it would happen again or not.
