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.
Who is the main character?
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
Give us a quick summary:
The boys head out for a weekend camping trip to a secluded place called Shadow Woods where strange events and some mysterious visitors send the guys into an interesting journey, both comical and terrifying.
Who is the main character?
Nick/group
What genre is it?
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.
