A little story convo

<< < (4/6) > >>

mare:
Aww thanks, Ritz! I'm glad I could help with the inspiration. :)

Thanks for starting this thread, Erika; it's nice to get some new fanfic discussion going on here!


Name three stories that really caught your attention last year and why.

1. "Save a Prayer" by Carter-Orange
At first this one caught my attention because it reminded me of the old story "Survivor" about BSB vs. 'NSync on the reality show, which was a really entertaining read.  But Save a Prayer took a twist and turned into a real survival story, which was even more entertaining.  Steph did an awesome job with the adventure genre and the gore.  I loved it!!

2. "Fracture" by Starbeamz
I love angsty Brian/Nick stories, and Sarah is a great writer, so it was just a given that this one would hook me right away.  I just wish she'd update it!

3. "Homecoming" by Louise
Louise is an old favorite writer of mine, so it was awesome to see her reemerge with a new story!  Sci-fi's not my favorite genre, but it was nice to a see a well-written new sci-fi pop up on AC to add some variety to the most recent.  They say variety's the spice of life... well, that's equally true of fanfic!


Did you finish or start any new projects this year?

If we're counting "this year" as 2012, then no, but if the last twelve months count, I did finish Curtain Call back in October.  I didn't start any new projects of my own (at least not that made it online), but I did contribute to two new round robin projects, 1000 Ways to Kill Nick Carter and Revenge of the Slaughtered.


What are you reading lately?

Fanfic-wise, I haven't really been reading anything new, although I need to check out a couple of Steph's recent stories.  Most of the in-progress stuff I'm following doesn't get updated very often.  I reread a few old favorite fanfics back in January, when I was working on converting them to ebooks for my Kindle.  I haven't read much lately in the world of published fiction either; I think "Catching Fire" is up next on my to-read list.


Recommend a story or two you think someone might enjoy! (one can be your own)

Any of the stories I mentioned in this post are worth reading!

Thanks for the Curtain Call mentions, and Mare, it's probably a good idea to just wait until Guilty Roads is finished to read the rest LOL.  I wish I had the willpower to wait until it's finished to post the rest, but whenever I do manage to finish a chapter, I always think, "Okay, this is it; I'm on a roll" and post it, expecting to be able to keep updating regularly... and then I run out of steam again.  I haven't written anything on anything in like a month, so I make no promises at this point LOL.

Purpura Lipstick:
I do that with Empty Julie.  I get writing and think that my muse has shifted his attention to that story, so I post the chapter and then PSYCH, my muse is gone from that story and on to another. 

RokofAges75:
Yeah, I hate that!!  I was thinking once I finished CC, which was the story that killed the momentum I had on GR at the beginning, I'd be able to focus on GR, but all that's happened is that I don't feel like writing anything now LOL.
