I figured you'd ignore my NK thing since it was me being picky ... and I HAVE read a story with NK in it... granted they were killed off pretty early on  :-D  

I used to have a review site where I read all the submissions myself, I can read for plot and quality and ignore the fact tha some of the characters are NK's if I must.

I revised my survey... lol ... and I wasn't NEARLY as picky as some of the other surveys.

I'm pretty sure you know this, Lore, but my original post wasn't directed at you. I was using NK as an example because everyone knows about my intense hatred of them lol

lmfao that always helps, since NK stories aren't my thing either. But all of them died, which doesn't hurt at all.

I knew it wasn't, I figured you pointed it out because you don't like them and you know I don't like them and probably only put that there because I don't like them.   :)

I wouldn't say I hate slash...it is just I am not comfortable reading something like that. But I'm down to try everything else! And I misunderstood the question about what author you'd like trying your work. I thought you meant what author you'd like to try lmao sorry.

Having a co-writer is fine. You might want them to know your story is being discussed if its chosen.

Remember guys, once I assign you to an author, you get to choose the story you read. So if there's a suspense, comedy and a drama and you don't Like suspense, just pick one of the other ones :)

Song for the Undead - http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9551
Curtain Call - http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10159

These are the only two I'm submitting because my other stories are either very old or very unfinished! LOL

All of the questions below are about what you like to read to give me an idea how to pair some of you up

Does story length matter to you? If so, what do you prefer? (1 - 25 chapters = short, 1 - 50 chapters = middle, 1- 100 chapters = long, over 100 = epically long)  Doesn't matter.

Who are some of the authors you read regularly?  Rose, Mare, Steph, Steph, Carrie/Jenna, Sarah... I haven't read all the stories they've written, though.

I will read anything that is assigned to me, I know I replied that I'd be uncomfortable with anything other than BSB and that I don't like slash...but I will read them as a challenge.

I've modified my questionnaire :)
