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.
-
lol I guess it depends on what type of genres you like.....

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.
-
whatever... you're an action/si-fi/closet romance writer and you know it. :P
-
whatever... you're an action/si-fi/closet romance writer and you know it. :P
: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.

Oooh yes those awesome choices, I love all 4 of those stories.
-
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!
-
aww. you guys... you almost make me want to update... haha. I need to do that. only 7 chapters left till its done! Yay! Thanks ladies! Good to know people like that one. it's one of my faves ever! (lol is it not cool for you to be mostly in love with your own stories?)
-
(lol is it not cool for you to be mostly in love with your own stories?)
If it is, then I'm the most uncool person ever. lol
-
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.
-
lol. well at least I'm not the only one then, because I am totally in love with both "If We Were A Movie" and "Not Your Average Cinderella Story."
-
Dude, Kelly! Cindy FREAKIN' ROCKS!!!
-
Dude, Kelly! Cindy FREAKIN' ROCKS!!!
lol. no... didn't you read that story? she "fucking" rocks. LMAO... sorry I had to. No more swearing from me, I promise!
-
lmao. Oh Kelly.
-
Whoops, my bad. I'll blame my lack of swearing on Mare.
-
aww poor Mare she's not even here and she's getting blamed for things... LMAO!
-
^lmao, weren't we just having this same conversation with an opposition of parties? ;)
-
Hey! No fair! YOU STOLE MY LINE! *whines and stomps feet*
-
That's what I just said. lol
-
Poop to you Kelly for stealing my line! *pouts* You're lucky I like your fluff ways. And don't support her Dee!
-
ROFLMAO
I take it you're not too kind of line stealing? lol
-
Poop to you Kelly for stealing my line! *pouts* You're lucky I like your fluff ways. And don't support her Dee!
lol I stole it on purpose silly because it was such a good line and all. (Didn't you know I'm also in the I heart Tonja fan club?) LMAO Tonja sucks!
-
LMAO! I didn't even know who Tonja was before I came to this board months and months ago and I STILL don't know who she is, but what I do know is that I hate her along with the rest of ya. LoL.
-
LMAO! I didn't even know who Tonja was before I came to this board months and months ago and I STILL don't know who she is, but what I do know is that I hate her along with the rest of ya. LoL.
lol. Um she is the girl who takes awesome fan fics from awesome really well known people and then posts them as her own stories and doesn't even bother to change them at all. she's basically the devil. Or she would be if she were a little smarter.
-
So does the fact that you me and Dee basically taking over this topic from Dani make us Tonja Wannabes?

lmao I totally just commented about hijacking in the other thread...
and yes. we're totally a bunch of stealers...
-
you know what's a good story to read, Ground Zero. by Chaos... that's a good one.
*shrug* I felt guilty all the sudden....
-
Great minds think alike Kelly.
Um, yeah, another story to read...Mare's 13th Step. Give her enough reviews and she might actually update again! ;D
-
lol I just realized how much I suck. I call myself a Mare fan yet the only one I've ever read of hers is "It Stays With You"... which is another excellent story... you could read that one. ;D
-
So does the fact that you me and Dee basically taking over this topic from Dani make us Tonja Wannabes?
No, because it's common knowledge that I hijack threads.
Like how Mare likes groundhogs. lol
-

Like how Mare likes groundhogs. lol
and I write fluff, and julilly is Canadian, and Lenni yells at characters, and Mel licks Nick...
there's a whole thread about what is common knowledge around here. lol
-
So much so that she wrote a groundhog romance story?
-
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8373
go read it... right now... I insist...

I believe nothing was said about me hijacking threads in that particular thread.... Maybe I should just go hijack it. lmao
-

It's hilarious. lol
They also play a part in "Shadow Woods."
-
lmao true... I should go fill out another list.. I'll totally say you're the chick who hijacks threads.
-

DDude, yeah, duh, I have so read that before! *smacks forehead*
-

Ye-a-yah. lol
-

lol and it wasn't memorable enough for you to remember groundhogs???
-
lol and it wasn't memorable enough for you to remember groundhogs???
Blasphemy!!!! :o lol
-
lol and it wasn't memorable enough for you to remember groundhogs???
*sheepish* It was a long time ago?
-
What in the world...? lol! You all are flippin crazy and I adore it. I got on here to see if anyone replied and I was shocked to see the response, and then I started reading it and well... freaking hijackers indeed! But entertaining nonetheless ;)
Thanks for the tips in between your rambling. I will definitely check 'em out!
And this groundhog thing is EVERYWHERE. I was reading one of Sakabelle's responses to a challenge and I didn't know the rules for it, so obviously I didn't know the groundhog thing, but when I was reading the story, out of everything I noticed the groundhog comment the most and went wtf mate? Hilarious and genius.
-
aww we're sorry Dani! We simply can't help ourselves... but we did give you quite a few reading assignments. All of which are excellent and Julies two alone will take you a year to read. (worth every page though! ;) I heart you too Julie) and in all fairness, I'm pretty sure you were warned about the strangeness around here in the welcome thread. Maybe you didn't believe us, but we were completely serious. We're insane around here.
oh, and go look at the felix awards thread... awesome story after awesome story nominated for awards... you can definitely find a good read from that list...
-
Heh, I'll definitely check the Felix awards stuff! I'll be busy for quite some time I see.
I guess I did underestimate the crazyness of you hooligans. I'll just try my best to join in on the insaneness of it all ;D
-
we're pretty contagious... I'm sure you won't have any problems sinking to our level. No one seems to have been able to resist us yet... well, maybe Mariah... I notice she didn't appreciate us all that much LMAO.
-
What happened with Mariah? Scare her off?
-
yeah. I'm pretty sure. or ran her out of dodge... maybe... we can be a lil intimidating sometimes too. not just crazy.
-
LMAO is that a groundhog in your avy Kelly?
And stop blaming me for everything! Who am I? Nick?
-
oh and Dani, you can't go wrong if you go to the featured story thread and read any of those.
These you can find on the AC site, but if you want an even bigger list let me know because most of the stories I love aren't on the AC site.
I am trying to mention fics that haven't been mentioned yet.
Action/adventure/suspense
Seven Days by Refuse
Fear Factor by Mersey
(Pretty much anything by Mersey)
You should check out her short stories. She writes the best short stories ever!
Children like Me By Honey
Drama wise
Inner Hell by Jenna
Swollen Issues by Jenna and Swenglish (Even though I highly recommend the second story not so much the first or third. It's worth the read)
Happenstance by Bianca (The only romance I was ever able to read in entirety lol)
That's about all I can think of right now. :)
I'll add on later, it's just hit me that it's not even 9 am on a Sunday morning and i'm wide awake so I must remedy that immediately! lol
-
I'd recommend something, but I think everyone pretty much recommended everything lol. I LOVE Broken and By My Side by Julie. It's a REALLY long read, but it hooks you from every second. If We Were a Movie is really cute! And if you like UMS you may like the Nothing's Impossible Series by Teri. It's a lil edgier than UMS, but a good read with plenty of relationship drama.
-
Children like Me By Honey
Actually I'm not that clever. Mersey rocks my world, and she's the one who wrote "Children Like Me" Mare probably mixed it up because I am constantly gushing about that story. I wish I were as cool as Mers!
-
ooh, and yeah, I'll second "Seven Days" by refuse. that's a great one too!
-
LMAO is that a groundhog in your avy Kelly?
And stop blaming me for everything! Who am I? Nick?
lol, no... Its a groundhog with a machine gun. And I must apologize Mare, you're right, it's Nick's fault. It's all Nick's fault.
-
LMAO is that a groundhog in your avy Kelly?
And stop blaming me for everything! Who am I? Nick?
We blame you for nothing! :o We follow your ueenly decrees. lmao
-
Its a groundhog with a machine gun.
It looks like a hamster...with a machine gun...LoL
-

AHH! lol i'm sorry Kelly. I wanted to include your There's No Such Thing as Bogeymen story as well but I had Mersey on the brain. That's what I actually meant to say.
-
We blame you for nothing! :o We follow your ueenly decrees. lmao
That's better, because i'd hate the groundhog to be angered and do something drastic. me and my ueenly decrees! lol
-

Oh noes, drastic groundhogs! :o
Shhh, it's queenly decrees, queenly was what I meant to say. :P

Wow, looks like I missed some fun, random hijacking! Thanks for the mentions!! I think most of my favorites on AC have already been mentioned by others.
If not, here are my favorites: http://accidentalchaos.net/viewuser.php?action=favst&uid=148
