Now that all the stories have been submitted, the fun part happens! Getting to pick the stories you'd like to read.

Once a story is taken, no one else can use it for the challenge. It's a first come, first serve type deal. Once you post your survey it's yours. If two people happen to pick the same story, the first one posting their form in the thread wins! The other will have to chose another.

You must pick TWO stories to read unless there is a yellow * next to it. That means it's long enough for you to choose only the one. Ritz, because you're a reader only, you should pick three. (if there's enough to choose from)

The collection of one shots should be treated as if it's one story with multiple chapters. In other words, you need to read them all.

Deadline to pick your stories is May 30th. If you haven't chosen by then, I will choose them for you.

The actual reading challenge will start June 1st and go all the way to August 31st. That gives you plenty of time to read at your own pace.

Also, please check the forum frequently while this challenge is happening for news and updates!

The next post will be the stories!

First story you are choosing to read? Falling in Love again by Emily Michelle

Second story you are choosing to read? Since the first story has a yellow asterisk, I guess I have to choose just one story instead of additional two? It'd be your collection of short stories. Volume One. :)

Have you read either of these stories before? Maybe some of Mare's one shot

Have you read anything by either of these authors before? By Mare, yes.
