Happy Easter and Happy BSB anniversary!

I decided to post this a little early to give you more time to figure out what you'd like to submit to the challenge and also hopefully give people who do not know about it, time to sign up to the forum and participate. So I'm asking for all of you to let everyone on AC know about this challenge. If you have a friend who regularly posts on AC but skips the forum or regularly reads stories but does not come on here. This is for them too!

How will it work?

If you are interested in participating in the challenge this year all you have to do is fill out the form below. I would like you to choose anywhere from 1 to 5 stories of yours that you feel deserve the chance to be read. You probably want to avoid stories that are really popular and well read because the chances of someone picking it as a challenge will be slim, but even still if it does fall under that category but yet you feel there are some who have avoided it until now, add it to the list.

Obviously if you've only written one or two stories, just use those!

Once you have filled out the form, you MUST participate in the challenge. Even if no one picks one of your stories you are agreeing to read two of the ones posted. Yes I said two. Because you're not really being assigned an author, this year I'd like you to pick TWO stories to read from the list. You cannot pick two stories by the same author though. If you are a reader and not a writer you must pick THREE

* There will be an exception to this rule - depending on which stories you pick, I may have you only read one if it's more than 40 chapters in length and or the word count is exceptionally high. I will probably put an (*) next to those stories.

The reading rules pretty much are the same as always:

Once you commit to a story you have to see it all the way through to the end and give feedback along the way. Feedback which consists of more than "Great job!" or "Can't wait to read the next chapter!" Real feedback having to do with what you just read. This year to help those of you along who struggle with that, We'll post some examples of how to leave constructive criticism. We want everyone to get the most out of this challenge and to the authors, the feedback is key.

I will be leaving you 'friendly' reminders to do so!

You may pick something you started reading but never finished. I mean just started, maybe only got to the first few chapters and then fell behind and stopped. Please don't pick something you've already read all the way through or only have a few chapters to go before you're done. Where's the challenge in that?

Try to pick something that's slightly out of your comfort zone, but it's okay if you just go with something you might have just missed the first time through.

So, there ya go ladies! If you plan on participating, fill out the form below by Wednesday, May 14th!


If you are including more than one story put them all on ONE form. You can always edit your post to include them later but it'll be less confusing that way. Remember you can choose up to 5 stories to submit for this challenge.

I know I probably don't have to say this part but just in case, Don't paste this entire post with your form, just this bottom portion!

Thanks!!!

*Do not submit a story that is less than 10 chapters long or something you just started posting. We do not want to have to wait for updates during the summer. People should be able to read at their own leisure. It doesn't have to be complete, but complete enough...

You may submit one shots but if you do, you need to submit at least 5 -10 of them together as a compilation  otherwise there's not much for the participant reading it to do.

How many chapters? 18

Is it complete? Yes

somewhat on the short side.

What do you like best about your story?

It's very old school, lots of cheese and bromance.

Would you consider it popular?

No, it was the first story I'd ever posted to AC. I wasn't well known then.

Why are you choosing this one for people to read?

I want people to see how much I have grown as a writer. My writing when I was first starting on AC was a bit cringe worthy but I am my own worst critic. I want to see if anyone feels the same way.

Anything else we should know about it? (overly violent, sexual, slash, etc)

It's a bit on the weird side, and I use a lot of really bad fanfic cliches. There is even a lovely "singing Nick out of the coma" scene.

Why are you choosing this one? Mare had suggested that I include it a few months back in one of the question threads so I decided to see if anyone else would like to.

Anything else we should know about it? (sexual, slash, etc)

This story is somewhat a parody so I don't expect it to be taken seriously. Its mostly a fun read.

Why are you choosing this one for people to read?  -I thought it would be a fun and something different.

Anything else we should know about it? (overly violent, sexual, slash, etc)  - It is a direct parody of The Wizard Of Oz, so if you don't like that this isn't for you.

Anything else we should know about it? (overly violent, sexual, slash, etc) it has a lot of violence.

[mare]

[Carter-Orange]

[mare]

[mare]

Pen name: Mare

1) The Importance of Fly Fishing
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=3655
Give us a quick summary:
Kevin invites Nick on a fishing trip to Kentucky to bond.

Kevin and Nick only
What genre is it?
Dramedy
How many chapters?
21
Is it complete?
yes
Are your chapters long or short? (long - 2,000 words or more)
long
What do you like best about your story?
I love exploring the relationship between Nick and Kevin because I think it's so complex. That's all this story is so I hope it appeals to anyone who loves these two as much as I do.
Would you consider it popular?
I think it did okay but I also think a lot of people did skip it because it was only those two.
Why are you choosing this one for people to read?
Because I remember really loving this one when I was writing it.
Anything else we should know about it? (overly violent, sexual, slash, etc)
Nope, not that I can think of. Just that the other three boys are noticeably absent
This is a link to a short story that goes with this one as a bonus lol
Fishing Again
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=6705&chapter=1

2)Shadow Woods
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=5902

Suspense/Humor
How many chapters?
25
Is it complete?
Yes
Are your chapters long or short? (long - 2,000 words or more)
Long
What do you like best about your story?
The cliffhangers and plot twists
Would you consider it popular?
Not too popular but did okay.
Why are you choosing this one for people to read?
Honestly, because I have changed it into an original fic. I submitted it to a contest where it came in as a runner up, I'm going to try to send it out to some publishers so it would be nice to get feedback and see what people think even though there are some differences between the two.
Anything else we should know about it? (overly violent, sexual, slash, etc)
Can be a little disturbing if you aren't into that kind of thing.
*Also this is a link to a short story prequel that can be read after the novel unless you want the main plot twist to be given away
Into the Woods
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8577

3) Living at the Top
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8216
Give us a quick summary:
The story is told from each boy's POV and how they dealt with their time away from each other during their hiatus. (At least I think it is. Please don't hate me if I'm wrong. I wrote this one a very long time ago and my summary on AC doesn't really help lol)
Who is the main character?
It's a group fic. They all have equal time.
What genre is it?
drama/angst
How many chapters?
25
Is it complete?
Yes
Are your chapters long or short?
short
What do you like best about your story?
I do believe it's the first story where I gave everyone equal footing. So, in that way it was a challenge but also paved the way for stories like A Million Little Things and Why Id' do it All Again.
Would you consider it popular?
Not really. At this time, I was completely unknown for the most part.
Why are you choosing this one for people to read?
I like to pick at least one very old story if nothing else to remind myself of how far I've come. lol
Anything else we should know about it?
Not that I can remember.

4) A selection of some of my short stories  I guess We'll call this volume one? LOL

Not that I can think of.

[mare]

Bumping this up as a reminder that the date these submissions need to be posted is the 14th. That will give us enough time to pick our stories to read and get started by June 1.

Remember the more stories you submit and the more people we get to participate, the higher the probability that your story will be chosen by someone so get the word out there!

[Rose]

I really hope more people join in cause so far you guys have read most of my stuff LOL. I wanted to submit my sci-fi but I failed in posting enough to actually do so. Oh well. My own fault for letting real life get in the way.

Group Story

What genre is it?
Horror, Alternate Universe

How many chapters?
Errm...106 lol.

Is it complete?
Not yet.

Are your chapters long or short? (long - 2,000 words or more)
They vary depending on the content. From about 2,000 to about 7,000 words range wise.

What do you like best about your story?
I like the journey, I feel like the characterizati on is it's strongest point.

Would you consider it popular?
Semi - it averages about 6 or less reviews a chapter overall.

Why are you choosing this one for people to read?
I feel like Julie and I could use a fresh perspective on it.

Anything else we should know about it? (overly violent, sexual, slash, etc)
Other than violence and a bit graphic at times? I can't think of anything.



2. Remember Me This Way
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10108

Give us a quick summary:
Life only offers so many chances, and Nick is on his last.

Who is the main character?
Group Fic but it's centered around Nick

What genre is it?
Drama, Angst

How many chapters?
Forty Three

Is it complete?
Yes

Are your chapters long or short? (long - 2,000 words or more)
Long-ish. Most are in the 2000 word range.

What do you like best about your story?
I love the emotion, I feel like I captured it in this story better than I have in any other so far.

Would you consider it popular?
Absolutely.

Why are you choosing this one for people to read?
I debated. I had it in a challenge once before, and it's my best known story (not a collab). The concept is one I have loved since I wrote it and I've since always considered trying to do an Original Fiction take on it. A lot would have to change but...anywho, the more feedback I get, especially from those who hadn't clicked on it originally, the better.

Anything else we should know about it? (overly violent, sexual, slash, etc)
Keep tissues close by.



3. Walked Out Of My Dreams

Are your chapters long or short? (long - 2,000 words or more)
Longish, some are short. Most about 1500 - 2000 words

What do you like best about your story?
I really like the concept

Would you consider it popular?
I think it did okay, it's more a Brian story so no.

Why are you choosing this one for people to read?
Because I feel, looking back at it, disatisfied about the ending. I feel like I could've done it better.

Anything else we should know about it? (overly violent, sexual, slash, etc)
Nope



4. A collection of my scattered horror oneshots so...The Torture Files? lol
(Some of these are short, some are longer, all of them are one chapter)

5. Just Another Day:
http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8180

Give us a quick summary:
A girl meets a member of a band by chance, not knowing everything that would follow.

Who is the main character?
Nick

What genre is it?
Romance (YES you heard right), Alternate Universe

How many chapters?
24

Is it complete?
Yes

Are your chapters long or short? (long - 2,000 words or more)
About 2000 words, so long

What do you like best about your story?
I don't know. I think the fact I challenged myself to write VERY far out of my comfort zone and I finished. No matter how the product turned out, I stuck with it.

Would you consider it popular?
I did at the time, but looking back, it was another romance in a heap of them.

Why are you choosing this one for people to read?
Partly because it's been so long since I wrote this (2006/2007) I like to think I've grown a lot. It's got a lot of flaws, and I know that. I would never claim it's my best story. I do however feel like I learned a lot in writing it. It'd be neat to see what someone thinks of it now.

Anything else we should know about it? (overly violent, sexual, slash, etc)
It's my first attempt at romance in any sense LOL.

Story you are submitting (including a link):
*1.) Falling In Love Again
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10872&warning=4

Give us a quick summary:
Annie is a single mom who, after a chance meeting with Brian Littrell, steps out of her comfort zone and decides to pursue her dream.  Then, she meets Nick.
Who is the main character?
Female lead named Annie.  Also very Nick and Brian centered.
What genre is it?
Romance
How many chapters?
56
Is it complete?
Yes
Are your chapters long or short? (long - 2,000 words or more)
Most are short
What do you like best about your story?
I'm proud of the overall storytelling in this one, and even prouder that I managed to finish it. lol
Would you consider it popular?
This was relatively popular, but about half the reviews happened during last summer's reading challenge, so not overtly so, actually.
Why are you choosing this one for people to read?
This is my most read and reviewed story, and in my opinion, the most well-written.  I think it's not been "given a chance" by a lot of readers because of the genre.
Anything else we should know about it? (overly violent, sexual, slash, etc)
Nothing I can think of.


Story you are submitting (including a link):
2.) Run
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=11128
Give us a quick summary:
In a sequel to Falling in Love Again, the road to "happily ever after" isn't going to be easy for Nick and Annie after tragedy strikes in the wake of triumph at the hands of someone from the past.
Who is the main character?
I'll say Nick in this one, though also pretty centered on Annie.  The other guys have a much bigger presence in this one, also.
What genre is it?
Suspense
How many chapters?
22 so far.  Shooting for 30-40
Is it complete?
No, but it's on my summer to-do list.
Are your chapters long or short? (long - 2,000 words or more)
Most are short
What do you like best about your story?
This is definitely a step out of my comfort zone, and I'm actually enjoying it.  
Would you consider it popular?
Not particularly, though it's gotten more attention at the beginning of writing before my other works-- I guess because I'm a little more known as a writer, now.
Why are you choosing this one for people to read?
This one is a genre switch for me, and something I can see a lot of the challenge participants being more drawn to than FILA.
Anything else we should know about it? (overly violent, sexual, slash, etc)
I really do plan to finish it this summer.


Story you are submitting (including a link):
*3.) Forever
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10800
Give us a quick summary:
This is a re-working of a collection of the first fanfictions I ever wrote as a teenager.  It takes place in the late-90's BSB era, and there's a girl band (yes, it's one of those stories...lol).  This focuses on the relationships (not all romantic) between the girl band and the boy band as they tour together and live life afterward.
Who is the main character?
Girl-band member, Emily (obviously, she's based on me) is the narrator, and BSB-wise, there's a focus on Howie and Kevin, but it's an ensemble story for sure.
What genre is it?
Romance, but not only romance. Drama, humor also come to mind
How many chapters?
47 so far
Is it complete?
No
Are your chapters long or short? (long - 2,000 words or more)
Most are short
What do you like best about your story?
I like the narrator's voice in this story-- probably because it's much of my own.
Would you consider it popular?
No.
Why are you choosing this one for people to read?
I think this one could be a fun read for nostalgia's sake.
Anything else we should know about it? (overly violent, sexual, slash, etc)
In my opinion, it's so much more than the run-of-the-mill girl band meets boy band story that was popular back in the day.  If nothing else, it's a re-write, and the writing and storytelling isn't bad.  I may not finish this one any time soon, even though the whole story is written in my head.  It's a saga, really, and probably should have been a series.  Regardless, I think it could be a fun read for someone.

[mare]

Yay, Emily! We have 7 people so far. I would love for there to be at least 10. Please mention this challenge to people when you leave them reviews. I am trusting you guys that the stories you read would be good for this challenge.

And Steph, don't forget to list the stories you want to use since the next part of this process is picking the stories you'll be reading.

Thanks, everyone!

Who is the main character?: It's a Nick fic, but I will shamefully admit here that the main character is an original character.
What genre is it?: Alternate Universe / Historical Romance
How many chapters?: 15
Is it complete? Yes
Are your chapters long or short? Long
What do you like best about your story? This is honestly one of my favourite stories I've written. I feel like it was the first thing I wrote that I just felt passionate about and when I read it over again I thought "I couldn't have written that." Problem is, it should have been an original story.
Would you consider it popular? Absolutely not
Why are you choosing this one for people to read? Over the years I've become disappointed in the fact that I made this a fanfic and didn't write it as an original story. I'd like to hear what people think of it just from the perspective of someone expecting to read an old-timey BSB story.
Anything else we should know about it? Nick's sorta pretentious in this story, don't say I didn't warn you LOL

Story you are submitting: 30 Days
Give us a quick summary: Moving in with a girlfriend always seemed like a good idea to Nick Carter. He liked the companionship - waking up with someone, eating dinner with someone and always having a date to the movies. What he never remembered was the awkward first month of honeymoon level romance mixed with annoyance and a twinge of seething hatred. He only hoped they would make it.
Who is the main character? See above. Or just assume. LOL
What genre is it? ROMANCE!
How many chapters? 31
Is it complete? Yes
Are your chapters long or short? On the longer side
What do you like best about your story? I don't like writing stories where Nick is a Backstreet Boy, I don't know why, so this was a departure for me. Granted, he doesn't do any BSB things during it but still...
Would you consider it popular? I can say with certainty that this is my second most popular story. I assume that is because it's not AU and is a Nick romance.
Why are you choosing this one for people to read? I find this story a bit disjointed at times. Curious to get some feedback that looks beyond the happy (sometimes) romance bit and really looks at the writing.
Anything else we should know about it? It's definitely crass and inappropriate at times, sort of like me.
