What are some good stories to read?
« on: February 16, 2008, 11:05:32 PM »
So, as you all know, I'm relatively new to AC, and when I first made an account I just went through and added a bunch of stories to my favorites that seemed interesting, but I haven't really had time to go through them, except for a select few.

So I was just wondering, since most of you are veterans, what are some really good stories that I should read?

You can even recommend your own! I just want to catch up on the favorites out there that everyone loves.

lol I know the feeling. I never can catch up with all the stuff I want to read. But a great place to start would be the featured stories of the month thread on this board. There are a dozen or so stories there and most all of them excellent. There is a good mixture of genres there as well. My personal favorites would be

"Children Like Me" by Mersey, that's a great BSB Supernatural crossover.

and then this months feature "Learning To Trust" by sweet18_2003 is a great drama and

just_marina's "Yesterday's Blue Skies" is an awesome si-fi.   

If you're a romance lover go with Rose's "Just Another Day". 

Or anything by Starbeamz2 my personal fave of hers is "Once Upon A Time" and her new one "A Queens Decent" is going to be fabulous! 

Those are just some of my faves. But pretty much anything by Mare or Rokofages will be  more wonderful than words as well! 

hope that's enough to get you started looking.

I love ya for that, but seeing that still makes me kinda LOL since I'm such a hard core AU/Action/sci-fi person, it's still sometimes odd to see my name associated to romance haha.

:p romance is growing on me, I admit it lol. "Rehab" definitely is proof of that.

Which, if I had to recommend any of my romances, it'd be "Rehab" (since Kelly already said JAD), and if you like Sci-fi, Yesterday's Blue Skies by Marina...or an old story of mine that's still going, Divisions of Reality. If you love and adore fluff, go for "If We Were a Movie" by Kelly. It's adorable.

Broken and By My Side by Julie/RokofAges75 are both wonderfully written.  I adore them.  Broken deals with Nick getting cancer and dealing with that.  By My Side is the sequel, which is more on the romance side of things, but is very character driven.  They're incredible.

Under My Skin and A Little Taste of Sin are a couple of other good ones, written by MellzBellz.  Really awesome angsty dramatic romance.  You'll love them.

Another great one by Sweet18_2003 is "Not So Bad". I definitely recommend you go check that one out.

And of course, a little shameless plugging for my own benefit, you could also check out my Brian drama, "If Tomorrow Never Comes". I'd say it's pretty decent. ;D

Ooh, and yeah, FOR SURE check out Kelly's (Honey) "If We Were A Movie". It's amazing fluff and so darn adorable and entertaining that you will absolutely fall in love with it and I don't think I could ever stop saying good things about it! So check it out!

Well I'm in love with "Rehab". Cause to me there's a writing growth from JAD to that... so yeah its cool to be in love with your own story lol. If you hated it, it'd be hard to write it.

I agree with Rose.

It's cool to be uncool for being so in love with your own stories.
