and why you picked them, it might help them decide if they want to duel you or not.

Me from the other thread:

Anyways... picking my three stories was pretty darn easy cuz every story falls into one of the categories I can't choose from...except 5, and of those 5, one is in a genre I marked that I preferred not to read...which leaves me with 4, and one of those I had started to read at one time...so BOOM...I'm left with 3.

From this thread:

Mare, I just notice my story is only listed as drama, but it's also romance. Just wanted to let you know.

....and now I'm left with two, LMAO! (cuz romance is a genre I'm not supposed to read from) And they are...Love This Pain and It Stays With You. And if all else fails, I'll give Games a shot, which is the one in the genere I don't particularly care for.

Oh...and I picked these stories...well ...because that's what i was left with.  :D

okay after going through all the options and really trying to stay away from what normally read, these are my three er five Now I had very little to choose from given I've read most of them or started reading and just need to catch up! ok enough blabbering:

It stays with you
Love is Pain
Room 438
Best of both worlds
A little taste of sin

these are the ones I have not read at all and so I choose anyone if these.

Ok...here are my challenges in no particular order:


00Carter
Sinister Devotion
Stockholm Syndrome


I picked them bc I am trying to get out of my little niche. 00carter is long like Casual so I figured it would be good to pair up with something equal in length.  I've heard great things about the other two.

This was really hard! lol After a lot of contemplation here are my choices...

Games - I never read crossover fics, so this is something definitely out of my element. Luckily I have seen Supernatural so I'm familiar with the characters somewhat but I never would have imagined myself reading Spn fanfic.

Best of Both Worlds - At first glance this is definitely the type of romance I would typically avoid. (don't hurt me) From the summary it seems like a plotline that is somewhat cliche, but I'm willing to see whether or not the writing brings it above that. :)

Room 438 - It's a Kevin fic and that ALONE means it's WAY out of my comfort zone. Way, way, way.

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

3. Sinister Devotion
Honestly? Every one I kept picking I went to check against Romance and Drama and they were all there.

If you want to accept her challenge, you would have to pick her story. You can replace mine if you'd like. :)
