If I have to, I can switch mine up. Mine are in no real order.

When picking my three, I did not look to see who wrote them or anything else. I simply went by what was written in this thread.


1. Stockholm Syndrome
- The title alone intrigues me LOL

2. A Little Taste of Sin
I've seen this story but never got the chance to read it, plus again, I like the title.

3. Games
Want the truth? I did innie-minnie-mighty-mo. LOL!

Not to be an asshole, but (as I try to figure out who the hell I'm challenging) I thought you couldn't challenge a story that's in a genre you like/write in a lot? Like Mel's story being a romance?

I think i'm going to have to do this differently. LOL

Instead of making it a duel it'll be more of a read off. Since no one i matching up. What i'm going to do instead of a this person versus that person, i'll instead assign you guys one of the stories you picked. If an aithor does happen to match up then i'll make you read each other's stories.

And yes, if you said you read romance than you can't pick a romance.

My three picks were easy.

Games- I don't know a thing about Supernatural. Its something I don't normally read but looked interesting.

Visions Of Love- its not a romance but it looked like I may end up liking it.

Ice Cold Blood- I don't usually read vampire fics as I hate twilight but I'm willing to try.

I will keep that in mind Tracy, I just need to see how everyone else posts. This is a lot harder than it was when there were only a few of us. I'm glad so many people are participating though just not a duel anymore. LOL

Uhh, which one is Mel's? Like I said, i didn't pick them based on who wrote them. Maybe I got it mixed up.

Fuck, I thought I saw that under Suspense. I'll go change it LOL

If you're looking for a Suspense, I'd say go with It Stays With You.

You're right, it's also listed under romance. A lot of the stories are listed in more than one genre depending on what you guys said they were. No biggie, just pick something else. I know it's confusing lol

Sorry guys! I thought it was be so easy peasy. lol
