If you could pick one of your stories to be featured...
« on: April 12, 2007, 08:22:35 PM »

If you could pick one of your stories to be featured story of the month, which one would it be and why?

This might help us when it comes time to pick stories to feature from month to month. I really do want to give as many people a chance to be highlighted as possible and since Julilly isn't around and Chaos is MIA, it'll make my life a lot easier. lol

If you would rather mention a story that doesn't belong to you that's perfectly fine as well. Especially if you've already gotten a chance to be featured.

I can only speak for myself when I say what I look for is a story that is almost done with an author who will appreciate being put in this position. For instance if you mention a story that's only 2 chapters long, i'm not going to pick it unless that's all there is to the story. Or if you pick someone who doesn't post here, doesn't respond to their feedback and doesn't seem to appreciate their readers in general, i'll most likely pass on that person. (See Mare's pet peeves lol)

Other than that, go nuts and let me know what you think.

Thanks!  ;)

I'd like to see either Broken or By My Side by Julie featured. I think she deserves it!

I can't really think of one of my own stories, but I agree with Mel about either of Julie's Broken or BMS stories. Also, Mare, ANY of your wonderful tales would be very deserving. And, of course, one of my very, very favorite stories: Finding Brotherhood from Mersey.

All three of you lovely writers deserves a month!

Thanks Sarah :) and you know i'd love to feature Finding Brotherhood because it's one of my favorites. In fact I tried to feature it before the forum opened but it's actually not posted on AC. LOL

Broken I love as well but we have already featured that one on AC before the forum opened. I think for those it would be nice to refeature some of the older ones because we never had a venue to discuss them, although we did also discuss Broken on FFF so Julie's been down my Oprah road before but of course I am keeping it on the list of possibilities. lol

okay i'm confused because I just checked the retired stories and Broken wasn't there. Am I right Julie? Wasn't Broken a featured story or am I on crack? lol

It was, but it seemed like several of the more recent featured stories disappeared from that list the last time Chaos revamped/moved the site.

*pipes up* Not that I expect to be featured ever... Especially with my currently brooding Muse and fandom switching....

But I'd toss "Pandora's Box" out there for you.

*sigh* And now I feel selfish because I didn't name someone else... :-[ For everybody on here, I think they are all amazing authors and all deserve to be featured. :) Though I can't think of a particular story I'd recommend.....

Here Dee. I'll follow your lead so you don't feel like the only one. If I had to pick something of mine I'd probably say "Not Your Average Cinderella Story".  It's not my most popular, but I feel it's my best work so far.

Otherwise, I would love to see either "Learning to Trust" by Sweet18_2003. I don't knw if she's on this board yet, but it's a really good story.  Or, anything by Sarah. (starbeamz2) My favorite is "Once Upon A Time" but it's not finished. Though everything of hers is wonderful so, anything you went with would make me happy.  :)

I would like to see one of Sarah's (starbeamz2) stories featured too.  As for which one, she can tell you which one she thinks is best.

Yea Sarah's stuff is good too although I haven't yet gotten a chance to read Once Upon a Time. I love Proving Them Wrong although I am pretty behind on that one too  :-[

I don't know which one of mine I'd pick, possibly SWIB, I think it's my best work so far, and it's sequel is coming along nicely but it's hard to think about my stories that way ya know? Another story I'd love to see as story of the month is Proving Them Wrong by Sarah...I absolutely adore this story it's just amazing.

What is SWIB?

I have always sucked with nicknames I still can't even do that with BSB songs lol

And also guys it would help me if you'd use their pen names as well even though most of the time I know who you're talking about.

Mare, SWIB is Teri's "Somewhere I Belong".

Oh, wow. I didn't realize so many people would bring me up in this thread. *blushes* you know, you're all amazing, too! but thanks for recommending me!

Honestly, I think Mare, Mersey, Julilly, and Julie should have a featured story because they're all fabulous writers! But, I've said that before and will continue to do so. *gets out soapbox, stands on it, and chants "Mare, Mersey, Julilly, Julie..."* LOL
