Title: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: mare on June 01, 2010, 05:30:01 PM
Starting next month i'm going to feature stories from authors who have already been featured but also will continue to feature newer authors as well.

Please leave some suggestions for stories you'd like to see featured. Keep in mind, it's best if they are finished or long enough that they can be discussed in the forum.

It's also nice if the author/authors are also people who post on the forum. They don't have to be, but it's a bonus because then we can get a discussion going.

You can recommend yourself if you'd like I promise i'll keep the  ::) down to a minimum.

I also have the right to say no to anyone douchy lol Because I can.  8-)

Happy recommending! lol

I would throw evergreenwrite r83's name into the hat!

She has been quite a dedicated writer/updater! I notice her on the most recent page all the time and I believe she has finished "With the Band" and it seemed to be quite popular! :)

I agree about Evergreenwrite r83.  With The Band was a really good story and I'm trying to catch up with the sequel Cruise Control at the moment. 

Another one I'm reading is Shades of Gray but I can't remember who it's by.
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: julilly on June 02, 2010, 04:09:06 AM
Shades of Gray is by Kellie but she doesn't post on AC.

Unless there's another one?

Post by: Sakabelle on June 02, 2010, 09:05:18 PM
I'm going to put in my vote for evergreenwrite r83 as well!  I loved With The Band, it's a really fun read!
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: Krys1984 on June 04, 2010, 05:55:52 PM
my vote's for evergreenwrite r83 too! With the band was a fun. cruise control is sweet! part 3 soon yay! lol wow i sounded 3 just then *sighs* :p

Evergreen writer, check lol anyone else?
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: Krys1984 on June 04, 2010, 08:09:43 PM
I would say Bi Litrell too. her stories are well written and gives you a detailed look on each person's point of view/ plot in the story.   
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: evergreenwriter83 on June 06, 2010, 06:48:17 PM
Squee! I'm loved, I'm really loved! LoL, yes I also sounded quite 3 right about then.  I'm so glad you guys are enjoying the stories :) I'm really enjoying writing them.  ;D  I'll try not to be such a lurker on these message boards too ::whistles innocently::

it's ok to lurk! most of us do it. and don't admitt to it (RASIES HAND)... WELL that was until now..lol it's weird i never used to read this before... now it's the second thing i do when i get on the computer... after facebook of course then i catch up on stories...
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: mare on June 06, 2010, 10:07:47 PM
Good, i'm glad you guys are now posting. We need more writers posting on this board :)
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: RokofAges75 on June 06, 2010, 11:13:03 PM
Yep, it's nice to have both new members and old members coming out of the woodwork!  Everyone gets along okay here, very little drama, unlike some boards, so it's a great place to post!

As for this thread... I'm having a tough time thinking of authors/stories who haven't already been featured.  I think all of my favorite authors and most of my favorite stories on AC have been featured already.  The ones that haven't are either old and their authors aren't around, or they're newer and not very far along and don't get updated often, so they wouldn't be the best choices.  So... go with the people who read more than I do; they know what to recommend!
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: honey on June 07, 2010, 01:01:26 PM
that's my problem too Julie. (Well not quite, I just plain haven't read anything in the last year.) I wouldn't have any idea what to recommend either.
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: mare on June 07, 2010, 01:28:34 PM
You can recommend older stuff and people who also have been featured as well. I'm running out of ideas and since I haven't been reading fics anymore I have no clue what's out there myself.
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: RokofAges75 on June 07, 2010, 06:02:57 PM
Okay, I have to say - I went to AC a few minutes ago and noticed another one of evergreenwrite r83's stories in the recent updates, which reminded me I had been meaning to check out "With the Band," since everyone's raving about it here.  I just did, and... WOW!  Just in the first few paragraphs, I totally got why people are raving (and why it has so many reviews already - holy crap!).  From the synopsis, it sounds like just another "Mary Sue gets to tour with the Backstreet Boys and, whaddya know, she falls in love with one of them (most likely Nick)" story, but you start to read it, and the writing is awesome.  It's an excellent example of first person done well; it draws you right in.  The main character is real and relatable and not Mary Sue obnoxious at all.  I can't remember the last time I read the beginning of a new fanfic and thought, "Wow!  I think this is gonna be a really great story!"  I'm excited; I hope it is!  I'm pretty picky about romances, but it just goes to show you, great writing is great writing - an overdone plot can still be a good story when it's written well.

So basically, even though I've only read the first chapter, I will add my vote to featuring this story LOL.
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: mare on June 07, 2010, 06:12:21 PM
This story will be featured and I hope all of you commenting now will do so when it actually is.

I just need about 11 more recommendation s and we'll be good for awhile lol
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: RokofAges75 on June 07, 2010, 06:19:34 PM
I will if I keep reading it.  I'm on Chapter 3 now!  LOL

Let's see, other recommendation s...

Anything else from Jenna/Carrie would be good with me.  I love all the stories of hers that I've read (and I've read quite a few of them).

I adore "Brian Potter and the Malevolent Musician" by ForeverFrick, but I don't think it's far along enough yet to be discussed.  Maybe later on, though, if she continues to update it.

Other than that, I'm at a loss.  Pretty much everything else in my favorites has been discussed already, if not here than on FFF (I know that's going back a ways LOL), or the authors are MIA, which wouldn't make it very fun, or the stories are hanging in limbo.  I guess I just need to start finding new stories to read!

Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: evergreenwriter83 on June 08, 2010, 07:12:30 AM
I almost didn't start writing With the Band because I felt like it was a storyline everyone had read a million times.  I'm glad I don't always listen to myself, haha.  :)
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: TheDistantHeart on June 08, 2010, 01:57:24 PM
The only one I can recommend atm is, like many others said, evergreenwrite r83. But I don't only recommend With the Band. The sequel called Cruise Control has been recently finished as well and I LOVED it! evergreenwrite r83 uses real life stuff, like things that Nick posted on Twitter for real, she uses in her stories. This makes it seem more real and I love that! (:

Oh and the 3rd book of the Coaster Series (the series of With the Band and Cruise Control) is already there as well, called Voodoo and Vows, but that one has been recently posted, but I have a feeling we won't have to wait that long before that one will be finished as well haha! (: Tbh I haven't had time until now to start reading it, but I know this one will be just as good as the 1st and 2nd book so I already recommend it haha. :D

Oh and I also love the fact she knows what she's writing about e.g. she knows about a pregnancy. Some writers write strange stuff about pregnancies, things that aren't correct. Either she has been doing research really well or she just knows a lot lol. ;D

Oh! And evergreenwrite r83 is also busy writing a spin-off to the Coaster Series. This is a Kevin story! Usually I would skip a Kevin story, because I've tried to read some but they didn't seem to keep my attention. But this one, which is called Nowhere To Go btw, is getting me hooked! And she keeps up with the "timeline". E.g. when something happens in Cruise Control that involved Kevin, you will read it in Nowhere To Go as well but then from Kevin's POV! I love it! ;D

I think she is my favorite author atm, also because she updates every day! I wish I could borrow some of her inspiration and time lol. I suck at updating atm. :(

The Coaster Series are the only stories I'm reading atm. (I have to catch up on a lot on 2 or 3 other stories. *hides*)

Now I will finally go reading Voodoo and Vows before I have to catch up on hell of a lot again haha. :D

Post by: evergreenwriter83 on June 08, 2010, 07:57:47 PM
Awww thank you guys so much for the really thorough reviews! You have no idea how much they help me :)  I'm a nerd...I hate when I don't research something enough or have enough personal knowledge.  I don't like to stray too far from realism, even though I'm going to have a little fun with that in Voodoo.  :D
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: Krys1984 on June 13, 2010, 09:44:03 AM
I'm hooked on the third story too. I come like everyday just to see if it updated. I'm not a kevin follwer either but i have to say this side line story is one of the better ones I have read with kevin in it. keep it up! 
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: mare on June 15, 2010, 10:25:10 AM
Hey guys, I really appreciate the love you are giving Evergreen. I think it's great and can't wait to see all the comments etc... when she is featured next month but oin the meantime, can we keep this thread open for suggestions only? I really need some more suggestions for stories and if we go by only the ones I want to feature they won't be new ones so any ideas are greatly appreciated.

If you want to continue discussing Evergreen's stories, she should maybe consider opening a thread of her own in the author's section. The shamless plugs is where all the authors let people know when they update and comments are made in there. :)

I will second "Last Christmas" by Reb - I'm reading that one now too, and it's great!!
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: Rose on June 15, 2010, 02:13:04 PM
I'll definitely third "Last Christmas" by Reb. Awesome awesome story.

And Steph, thank you for suggesting Undead! :)

I thought it had already been a featured story, but then I noticed earlier that it hadn't.  It definately deserves it as it's awesome!!!

Another one I'm enjoying is All That Glitters by Jazz
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: mare on June 15, 2010, 02:21:00 PM
excellent. Ladies i'd like to feature undead at one point but how far along is it? It would probably make more sense to wait until you're nearly done with it so let me know.

Thanks for all those suggestions Steph. :)

I wanna say at chapter 59, we're about....halfw ay done? LOL. So if you wanna wait a bit till we're closer to the end that's spiffy. :)
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: Krys1984 on June 15, 2010, 06:49:47 PM
I wanna say "ray of hope' by kevmylove as well. that story is good and last I seen it's just about finshed (writer's block i think it was) that should be featured eventually too
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: mare on June 15, 2010, 09:18:33 PM
Excellent. For the first time, I think I am going to make a list of stories ion here and when they will be featured so authors know ahead and can better be prepared. I used to like the element of surprise but it seems since the population has dwindled, this might be a way to get some of them back. So, look for the first post in this thread to be updated as I make up my mind.

Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: RokofAges75 on June 15, 2010, 10:35:31 PM

I JUST started reading "Life" by colourguard_di va and I have to say this is a intersting read. it's a nick story yes but you see the side of the female more so then nick's side which in most storys aren't really seen. It's good gets my vote.

We usually have only one story a month featured
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories

Just some more ideas....


The Frack and Frick Switch by ForeverFrick

5 Backstreet Boys in search of a plot by Mare,Marina,Mersey

Couldn't hurt... right?

Personally I really like "When We Collide" from Carter-Orange. I'm not sure if she's been featured but she's a cool writer with some great ideas. I'm really into that story now. Its the only one I got my eye on most of the time.

I'm a fan of all of Steph's stuff, but I'll tell you why this story probably isn't the best choice if you're thinking of recommendation s... it's only got 5 chapters.

As runner up for Best New Author Steph is definitely on the way though, never fear, but since she was featured in November 2009 it'll probably be a bit. :)

I second (third?) "Rewind" and "Fly Fishing"!  Both great stories!  "Running Up That Hill" by Sakabelle is another one I'd love to see featured down the road, once it's finished.  Also "Figured You Out" by Tracy, especially now that she's posting here on the forum and would be able to participate.
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: mare on January 10, 2011, 07:35:18 PM

Aw thanks for suggesting Running Up That Hill, Julie :)

I also think "Figured You Out" by Tracy shuold be featured. It's an awesome story and like Julie said, Tracy is active on the forum now so she'd be able to answer all our questions!

I agree that Figured You Out by Tracy would be a good one, or Running Up That Hill by Steph (I'm loving both of those).  I've not read that one of Mare's yet, so think I'll have to read it soon.

And guys, just so you know, now i'm picking the author and they are the ones deciding which story to feature so when you suggest a story make sure you mention who the author is or you can just suggest an author in general.

By naming the story, you might actually help the author pick which story they would like us to read. :)

Having just read this story yesterday and today, I agree!  Or anything by Mare :)

Yup I will second anything by Mare (probably Lurks since I'm reading that one, but Fly Fishing sounds good too... I heart Kevin/Nick!)

I'll also throw Rose's name into the hat even though I know she was featured recently for Undead, but I really love Remember Me This Way :)

Yup I will second anything by Mare (probably Lurks since I'm reading that one, but Fly Fishing sounds good too... I heart Kevin/Nick!)

I'll also throw Rose's name into the hat even though I know she was featured recently for Undead, but I really love Remember Me This Way :)

Awww thank you! :) And yes, Kevin/Nick is love hehe.

I agree about Remember Me This Way :)

Thanks!

I need some more suggestions guys. Preferably people who haven't been featured before are still writing now and are forum members or are willing to become forum members so they can discuss their stories.

Post by: mare on August 30, 2011, 05:01:06 PM
Time for some more suggestions for featured stories. If you look at the featured waiting list, after December there's no one there.

If you know of a story of author who maybe hasn't been featured yet and would like a story of theirs to be featured, suggest it in this thread and PLEASE before you do, take a second and check to see if the story or author has been featured already.

We do not repeat featured stories but authors can have more than one chance, but I try not to make that happen within a year, unless they were a best author felix award winner.

I really prefer completed or nearly completed stories by authors who are still actively writing. They don't have to be a forum member but ideally if you are picked as a featured author, i'd like you to join the forum so you can particpate in the discussions.

That's about it!

Suggest away! :)
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories

What about Garden by Louise? She just reposted it on AC and it's a great Kevin story.
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: mare on August 30, 2011, 06:25:32 PM
I'd be down with that lol
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: RokofAges75 on August 30, 2011, 06:55:19 PM
That's a great suggestion!  Louise is writing again, so her new story Homecoming could also be another good option down the road.  I'm not sure how long she plans to make it, but her stories usually don't run too long.
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: Rose on August 30, 2011, 07:26:28 PM
Homecoming would be amazing once it's finished. LOVE that story.
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: FrickingKaos on August 30, 2011, 07:27:35 PM
YES!!! Louise is fantastic. I loved Garden and I am in love with Homecoming as well. She totally should be featured!

I recommend Homecoming too, I'm loving that story so much!  Or Garden too, loved that.

I would like to recommend Alexsgirl_Ritz- The other Side Of Nick Carter. It's an awesome story and very unique plot. She's doing a wonderful job.

I was also going to recommend PurpuraLipstic k- Chrono's Project, but noticed she is already going to be featured this coming month. YAY!!!  
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: mare on September 28, 2011, 05:00:53 AM
I agree about the Other Side of Nick Carter. Once it gets a little closer to the finished stage i'm definitely going to add it on the list. :)

thanks for reminding me, Mare. When I read Rose's post I was like why didn't I suggested that story, then now that's the answer. lol

You know I love that story, Steph. Just please let the poor guys live... lol

Does anyone talk to Louise? She is our next featured author but I haven't heard back from her. I thought she was a forum member but I couldn't find her. I emailed her through AC but no idea how often she checks that mail. Anyway, if any of you do talk to her can you let her know? Thanks!!
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: RokofAges75 on January 05, 2012, 07:14:56 PM
I don't talk to her regularly anymore, but let me know if you don't hear back from her over the weekend, and I can try emailing her.

Bummer!  I just emailed her to let her know and told her to contact you if she gets it.  She hasn't updated her story since the end of September, but she tends to come and go like that.  Hopefully we'll hear back from her.

That time again! I need some suggestions for authors who either have never been featured or haven't been featured in at least over a year. We have already featured 64 stories! Yes, kept this going for that long! It makes more sense to feature people who post on the forum but it doesn't have to be that way. So, suggest away!
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: Purpura Lipstick on May 02, 2012, 01:54:04 PM
I suggest Tri to be featured again! :)  I love Forgotten Souls and Time Has a Way. :)

What about Saka Steph? I know it's not finished yet, but Running Up That Hill would be a good featured story. I'd mention more but honestly most of the ones I was reading/are reading are getting featured or have been recently LOL.
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: FrickingKaos on May 03, 2012, 05:28:18 AM
I love Running Up That Hill too. Sakabelle definitely deserves a feature too!

Ooh that's a great idea as well. I doubt we'd get her back to discuss it. I have to see how many tics she has on AC lol most of her stuff was on her site :(

Hey guys, next month is going to be Rachel aka Kentuckychickr k. The only problem is I just realized I still haven't heard back from her which story she wants to be featured so just in case she doesn't check in, does anyone have a story in mind that would be a great one for us to feature from her? Maybe the person who initially suggested her name can give me a story? As long as it's not the one we already featured.
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: emilo on October 20, 2012, 09:56:28 PM
It's unfinished, and I've not been on the site long, so I don't know if it has already been featured or not, but "Have A Little Faith in Me" is a beautiful story.
Title: Re: Suggestions for future featured stories
Post by: mare on October 21, 2012, 09:22:41 PM
The one we have featured is Someone's Miracle. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll keep it in mind and if it has enough chapter's posted I'll pick that one.
