Featured Story for the month of August 2009 - Someone's Miracle
RokofAges75:
Congrats Rachel!
I actually read this story for the Felix Awards a few months ago, and I couldn't review then because we were told not to (weren't supposed to give it away!), but I can say now that I really enjoyed it!!
You know this kind of story is my cup of tea anyway, but I think because I've read SO many stories in the drama/tearjerker genre, I've gotten kind of picky about them, and it takes a good writer with the right characters and situations to really affect me. That said, you put me in TEARS with this story, and while I am a crier at movies and whatnot, it had been a long time since I'd read a fanfic that made me cry - and wasn't one I'd read before and cried at before LOL. Even more impressive considering that, although this is a Bsb fanfic, Nick is more of a bystander, an observer, in the story - the real drama centers around Aaron and your original characters. I wasn't crying for Nick or any other Backstreet Boy; I was crying for those characters that you MADE me care about. So huge kudos for that!!
Out of all the new (to me) stories I read for Felix, this was definitely one of the highlights for me. I read it in one sitting, and I found it to be just a really nice, touching, tearjerkering, refreshing story. Congrats again on being the author of the month, and I'm glad this was the story chosen! :)

Thank you Julie! It means so much to me to have won the Felix for this story :)
And seriously, coming from other authors like you and Kelly whose stories I truly love, I really do appreciate that y'all (there's that Kentucky in me!) enjoyed it!
honey:
Well, we really really did. (Or at least I did anyway.) Like Julie, I read this story in one sitting and cried in several places. It just felt like a breath of fresh air to me. Really, wonderful story! And I'm so glad it won. You deserve it!
Steph:
Congratulation s, Rach! ;D
mare:
What made you chose the characters you did for this story? Aaron, the Law and Order people etc...
