Thriller/Suspense (10)
« on: December 23, 2010, 07:34:25 PM »
There's no narrow definition. According to International Thriller Writers, a thriller is characterized by "the sudden rush of emotions, the excitement, sense of suspense, apprehension, and exhilaration that drive the narrative, sometimes subtly with peaks and lulls, sometimes at a constant, breakneck pace." In short, a thriller thrills. How? Mostly through skillful plotting.

It takes a talented writer to successfully pull of a good thriller and these nominees have done just that. We're left wondering what might lurk around the corner, how safe it is to hide in "plain" sight, how the brother got away, when we'll end up next, and if they'll make it through Christmas alive.

The nominees for Best Thriller/Suspense are:

 What Lurks Around The Corner by Mare
 Guilty Roads by RokofAges75
 Seven Days by evergreenwrite r83
 Last Christmas by rebellious_one
 The Time Watcher by Pengi

And the winner is...



Winner: What Lurks Around The Corner by Mare



Runner Up: Seven Days by evergreenwrite r83

YAY MARE!!!!  Congratulation s!!!  You always write the most epic suspense stories, and it's been so good to see you back writing fanfic consistently this year!  This was another category that was hard to vote in because there were several great stories nominated, but I'm glad you won; it is absolutely deserved!!!  Congrats on another runner-up win, Jen!!
