aww I don't know whether to be highly offended by that remark. I'll get back to you! LOL :(
It's okay, I didn't even think about it until Julilly texted me and said something like, "Well now that I know the twist in Shadow Woods, It won't be as much fun to read."
Not that the black spoiler thing will keep people from looking. I am one of those people that would TOTALLY still look at what it says! LOL
FrickingKaos:
Final survey (To be completed after finishing the story you are reading)
Name of story: Stockholm Syndrome
1) What was the biggest challenge for you when reading this story? Sticking to reading daily due to my work schedule this time around.
2) Did you find yourself looking forward to reading as you were going along or did it feel like homework? I always enjoy reading so it never felt like homework at all.
3) What was your favorite scene/chapter in the story? I liked the chapter where Nick and Brian face off and Nick hits him with the frying pan to get away lol
4) Was your favorite character at the halfway point still your favorite at the end? Yes he was.
5) Who was your least favorite character and why? I wanna say Kevin because he wasn't really in the story much.
6) If there was a sequel to this story would you be interested in reading it? It is fine the way it is without a sequel but yes I'd read one.
7) Were you happy with the ending? Yes I was
8) Name the biggest surprise in the story and did you see it coming? (If there was one) the sex scene threw me off for a minute actually. But the story was so good it wasn't a big issue and I skimmed it.
9) What was this stories biggest strength? The pacing was easy to follow and it was a well written story.
10) What was it's biggest weakness? It didnt really have any honestly. Julilly is a great writer.
11) Did reading this story make you want to try another one from this author? I've read other stories by her so yes
12) Give us one final review that sums up your experience reading this, maybe explain why you gave the kind of feedback you did or if you would have perhaps picked a different story from this one? I felt that this story didn't need any criticism but I pointed out things I liked and tried to be detailed. Hope that was OK. Like I said she is a great writer so I reviewed like I normally would.
13) Did you prefer the way we did the challenge this year or did you like the pairings better? I am always happy either way.
14) Did the author respond to your feedback? Yes she did
15) Any final thoughts or questions for the author? What made you choose the guys personalities and their roles in the story?

Aww lol We share a brain so if she ever does decide to read it, most likely she'll forget what the twist was by then anyway!

Name of story: Switch by carterkid
1) Are you finding it easy to follow plot wise? I completely understand the general premise of the story, but the storyline is a little hard to follow because of some chapter organizational things (like one chapter will have only one scene, one POV, while the next might have three or four scenes and/or POVs)
2) So far who is your favorite character and why? I think Nick. His personality seems to be coming out a little more.
3) Are you getting a sense of how it will end and if so, any guesses? (Sometimes authors get a kick out of seeing what a reader thinks will happen and how predictable they may or may not be) I assume they'll switch back, but I'm interested to see how that happens.
4) Do you feel like the summary the author gave accurately describes the story you are reading? Would there be anything you would include or omit? I think the summary works pretty well.
5) Has there been any big surprises/plot twists or just overall observations? There was a chapter about "salsa night," and it's not what you probably think. I thought it was cute.
These are the harder questions, but don't be afraid to answer them. Remember we all signed on to this knowing and expecting to get and give constructive criticism.
6) If this wasn't a challenge story and you didn't have to continue reading, would you have stopped already? If so please explain why. I may have stopped, yes. Mainly, because I'm finding it a little hard to follow. I am interested in seeing where it goes, so I may have kept reading as well. It's a toss-up.
7) Has there been any glaring errors that have stuck out? (I'm not talking about the occasional missed period, typo or spelling/grammar errors but huge mistakes that need to be pointed out that the author might not be aware of) Not really, other than a few grammar/organizational things- but they're small.
8) Do you have any questions for the author in regard to the storyline, characters or plot? Why did you choose these two Backstreet Boys as the main characters?
