For people who haven't been featured yet

Your AC name:  Tri

1. Would you like one of your stories featured?  Yes

2. If you had to choose one of your stories to be featured which would it be?  Well, out of my Hearts Don't Lie Series, Any Other Way is complete, but I'd love What the Heart Wants to be featured (I'm aiming for it to be finished in December) because I think it shows a lot more of my character development and deeper emotion.

3. What do you think the best part about being featured story would be?  I think it would be interesting to have people comment on my story, ask questions about my literary devices, and just discuss my story openly on the forum.  I feel that when I hear feedback on my writing - positive or negative - I have a better grasp on what I write and why.  It'd be interesting and motivating to be featured!  ;D

4. Pick a story that you'd like to see featured that isn't one of your own (please include the author's AC name).  Actually, it's being featured right now!  Teri's Nothing's Impossible Series is my favorite on AC!  But down the line, Always Something would be cool to be featured!!  :)

5. Did you find yourself reading any of the featured stories just because they were featured?  No.  Out of the stories that have been featured, I've only read one in completion.

Your AC name: RokofAges75

1. Have you already had a story featured?  Yep!  By My Side was featured in August.

2. Did you find that more people read your story when it was featured?   Not really.  A few of the regulars here had already read it, so that's cool.

3. Did you find it a rewarding experience?   Sure!  It's always nice to have your story discussed. :)

4. Would you want another turn somewhere down the road?  Sure, if there's another story of mine anyone wants to discuss. (As of now, probably not. LOL)

5. Name a story of someone elses you'd like to see featured (please include their AC name)   It's not finished yet, but when it is, "On Nightingale Hill" by FiliKlepto.  It's a really unique and interesting story, and I would love to discuss it and have FiliKlepto share her insights.

For people who haven't been featured yet

Your AC name: MonkeyAbu

1. Would you like one of your stories featured? I think it would be a rather rewarding experience to have one of my stories featured, so my answer to that question is a definite yes!

2. If you had to choose one of your stories to be featured which would it be? Well, I am pretty much only focusing on one story right now (at least I have only been updating one story lately) and that is "If Tomorrow Never Comes". It is not my first attempt at solo writing but it has turned into my writing baby. I wub my story but unfortunately it is not finished yet. It's about 1/2 finished, maybe a little bit more, but currently the characters are being stubborn and don't want to seem to cooaperate with me. But that is soon to change. I'm just hoping I will get it finished quick enough so that I can be considered for a chance to be featured during some month in the future.

3. What do you think the best part about being featured story would be? Well, like I said in question 1...I think it would be really rewarding. Plus it serves as a way to get the story more recognized. I mean, yeah, you may have it posted on the main AC site, but not everybody has seen it or had the chance to see it.

4. Pick a story that you'd like to see featured that isn't one of your own (please include the author's AC name) "Not So Bad" by Sweet18_2003. Although it isn't finished, but she's told me it is close to being finished.

5. Did you find yourself reading any of the featured stories just because they were featured? Ya know, I haven't ever read the featured stories just because they were featured. But some of them I had already read.

So much other pink words.... *dies a little*

For people who have already been featured

Your AC name: nicksgal (I'm so unoriginal.... .)

1. Have you already had a story featured? Yesms, PBox was featured in July.

2. Did you find that more people read your story when it was featured?Mmmm.... Not so much, but... That's okay. :) A lot more fantasy stories popped up during PBox's month, so that made me happy.

3. Did you find it a rewarding experience? I liked everyone discussing it. And hearing the banter about Renee's Minako complex. :D

4. Would you want another turn somewhere down the road? Yes, I would, but I don't think I have anything else worth featuring.... :-[

5. Name a story of someone elses you'd like to see featured (please include their AC name) There isn't a particular story that comes to mind, but something by Rose (Rose) or Purapura (Purpura). :)

For people who haven't been featured yet

Your AC name: Sakabelle

1. Would you like one of your stories featured? Of course =)

2. If you had to choose one of your stories to be featured which would it be? 'Not Like We Predicted'

3. What do you think the best part about being featured story would be? Probably having people discuss my story, talking about it would probably help me figure out the characters and plot lines a little more. It would also give me more motivation to actually finish it :P

4. Pick a story that you'd like to see featured that isn't one of your own (please include the author's AC name) 'Any Other Way' or 'What The Heart Wants' By Tri.  I adore them.

5. Did you find yourself reading any of the featured stories just because they were featured? Not yet, since I'm just getting back into BSB fanfiction fandom, but I'll certainly look through them and give them a shot.  Next on my list to read is Pandora's Box. =)
