Fic Talk > I Challenge You....
Part one of the 2014 summer reading challenge! The participants!
KeepThisSecret:
Hello everyone,
Mare mentioned this challenge to me in a review, so I've decided to give it a shot. I'm only putting up one of my stories for now as the one that I'm currently working on isn't finished.
Pen name: KeepThisSecret
Story you are submitting (including a link): A Dash of Cinnamon http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=11202&warning=4
Give us a quick summary: In the fall of 2013, Brian and Nick find themselves in a similar position. For the first time in years, they are both desperately trying to redefine themselves as single men. The situation intensifies for Brian when he finds himself embroiled in a bitter custody battle involving Child Protective Services. During an on-the-road visit, the unsettling background of one C.P.S. worker results in a disappointing revelation for Nick and ultimately forces Brian to make a potentially life-changing decision.
Who is the main character? Brian and Nick are the main characters, but the rest of the guys are in it quite a bit as well. There is also a female lead (obviously ... it's a romance).
What genre is it? Romance
How many chapters? 40
Is it complete? Yes
Are your chapters long or short? (long - 2,000 words or more) The majority of them are on the longer side.
What do you like best about your story? I think that I did a pretty good job with the description and the characterizati on. I especially liked Baylee's character, because I changed him up a little bit.
Would you consider it popular? I'm too new to the site to be able to really determine what makes a story "popular". It did get some pretty good reviews, though.
Why are you choosing this one for people to read? I think that a lot of people probably skipped over this story because it's a romance. Although the plot may be a bit tired, I think that the writing is fairly good and that people may like the story if they give it a chance. Also, I'm a new writer and I'm looking to attract some readers. :)
Anything else we should know about it? (overly violent, sexual, slash, etc) There are a few sex scenes, but nothing too intense.
mare:
Woot! So glad to see you have decided to do this.
Well, now we are at an odd number so we need number 12!! Pass the word along! :)

Just have to post the short stories to AC, that are lurking on my computer somewhere, and then I'll definitely participate ^^

Are your chapters long or short? (long - 2,000 words or more) Short, approximately 1000 words per chapter I think.
What do you like best about your story? I like the way I let my imagination run wild, also I like that Nick is the hero for a change.
Would you consider it popular? Sort of, if only for a certain chapter lol
Why are you choosing this one for people to read? Because I enjoyed writing this so much and haven't gone back to re-read it since completing it.
Anything else we should know about it? (overly violent, sexual, slash, etc) There's some gore!
Story you are submitting (including a link): Unwinding Truth (collab with Lore) http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10831

What genre is it? Action/Adventure/Sci-Fi/AU
How many chapters? 22 so far
Is it complete? No
Are your chapters long or short? (long - 2,000 words or more) Approximately 1000 - 1500 words per chapter I think.
What do you like best about your story? I love that Lore and I worked so well together and I hope we can continue it some day.
Would you consider it popular? Not really
Why are you choosing this one for people to read? Because I enjoyed writing it so much and think other people might like it too.

I might add another one, but not sure which one yet.
