Aww, thanks, Mare!

I read "Whatever the Night May Bring," which was already finished, for the reading challenge. Other stories that I've been following as they're updated are:
Borrowed Time
Scattered Pictures
Running Up That Hill
Here We Stand
Divine Intervention
Walked Out of My Dreams
Last Christmas
Save a Prayer
Fracture
Brian Potter and the Malevolent Musician
On Nightingale Hill
Of those, "Save a Prayer" is the only one that's finished. I'd say about half of them update pretty regularly, and the other half don't.
The authors should know I'm reading because I review regularly, although I will say, with the last two, I'm kind of in the "Wait for it to be finished so you don't have to keep refreshing your memory" mindset because they're only updated once in a blue moon LOL.
As for why I clicked on them... some of them, like Brian Potter, just attracted my attention with their banner and summary and sounded like something I'd like. Borrowed Time is another one that had my name written all over it LOL. Others, like Nightingale Hill, came highly recommended, even if they weren't something I'd normally check out. The rest are written by friends and favorite authors of mine, and as long as I'm enjoying it, I'd read anything by those people!

Finally getting around to doing the review question.
From Save A Prayer

Awww I'm sad to see this one end, but it was a fabulous story! I enjoyed every bit of it. Can't wait to see what you come up with next. I'm glad Howie was able to keep his leg, at least one good thing came out of it. (Other than the fact NKOTB is now jungle chow LMAO).

OMG!!!!!! First I thought the grossness was just going to be Nick getting sick from the water... poor Nick! I was still there was a leopard in the cave to eat Jordan, but what you did to him was totally better! You actually succeeded in grossing me out with the bot fly larva - WIN!!! I loved it!!! Sad you probably won't be updating in the next week, but this was a good stopping place!

Aw maybe that explains all the bad singing! Maybe all the New Kids are infested with maggots on the brain! LOL That chapter WAS gross! The idea of Nick poking around Jordan's brain digging out maggots was pretty entertaining. Poor Guys, I can only imagine the smell and RIP Jordan now you can go on to heaven with the rest of your bandmates and entertain all the deaf people with your crappy songs! *smiles innocently*
From Games

aww yes, Dean. The world would miss that Nick Carter dude lol Loved the bit about Brian being forced to whore out the Wylee stuff. I am worried for Nick and AJ. Ack! Can't wait to see what happens next! As usual great chapter and awesome job with Sam and Dean. You'd never know that you only started getting into Supernatural. It's coming very easy for you!
Reviewer: Sakabelle (Signed) · Date: 11/13/10 06:02 pm · On: Chapter 9
Ack, AJ! I hope Sam and Dean get to them soon! This is really good, Steph! You do a great job of sucking the reader in. I feel like I am right there with them, playing the game. Great chapter, as usual! Also, LOL at AJ enjoying Twilight. That was cute.. I could totally see him liking it, haha.

ps. My ultimate dream is Nick and Jensen...hehe. ..:p Yes, I'm a Nick and Dean girl!!!

If I'm reading something then the author will know because I leave reviews. Sometimes I'll wait for a story to be completed because there are a few stories I love and have been waiting for what seems like forever for updates.
Stories I've read this year would be :
Whatever The Night May Bring
Scattered Pictures
Secrets of the Heart
Infidelity
Fight Me
Severed Identities
Running Up That Hill
Here We Stand
Song For The Undead
Weird World
I clicked to read them because I liked the summary and because they are by authors I like.
There are other stories I'm reading, but haven't been updated for so long, like On Nightingale Hill, On The Rails, Brian Potter, Guilty Roads, Walked Out of my Dreams and there might be a couple more but I can't think of them right now.
mare:
Just like Julie and Steph, if I'm reading the story the author knows because I leave reviews unless the author doesn't bother to check lol
Stories i'm reading or have read this year
Curtain Call - for the AC challenge
Save a Prayer
Running Up That Hill
Here We Stand
The Other Side of Nick Carter
Plus any one shot challenge I issued within the last year and some random shorts from people. Don't ask me to remember the names of those! LOL You know who you are!
Stories I'd like to read if the authors ever decided to continue updating them:
Guilty Roads
Divine Intervention
History Repeating
On The Rails
:P
I clicked on them because of the summary and they all have elements in them that make me want to continue reading. (strictly about the boys, action/adventure/ Non AU/ No female lead) On The Rails being the exception to the rule. I probably would have never read it if I weren't judging it but once I did, I was hoooked!
Rose:
Okay I feel sufficiently guilty now lmao.
