need all authors to read this :O)
« on: March 21, 2008, 08:27:28 AM »
I already have a lot of authors lined up for the featured story section of the site, the problem is, i'm having a hard time choosing a story for some of them so I want some input on which stories you'd like to see featured by these authors.

If you are one of the authors mentioned, obviously your input is very important as well.

These are in no particular order since I like to keep your actual month a surprise. lol

i'm a dork, I know.

Also i'm looking for an Oprah volunteer for when I have my own month because being my own Oprah would be just sad and wrong lol

Here are your upcoming authors...agai n in no particular order

pick one or two stories you feel would best represent them.

LenniLuvsBrian:
Tri:
Purpura:
Starry Eyes:
Mare:
MonkeyAbu:
Jenna:
Sakabelle:
Rebellious One:
Eboni:


Keep in mind, a story you pick should be either completed or near completion.

Thanks a lot :)

Tri should definitely have something from her Hearts Don't Lie series featured.  Personally, I liked Any Other Way the best... though It's Our Love is also really good.  I think she's done a really great job at developing the characters and creating thought out plot lines :)

For mine (I totally squealed when I saw my name on the list lol) I'd probably have to say In Pieces just because it's the only one of my stories that's finished and I'm the most proud of it.

Gah, I feel bad cause I've only read stories from a couple of the authors (though I'm planning on delving deeper as soon as I get more time!), I figured I should at least put my two cents in.

For Ash (MonkeyAbu), no doubt If Tomorrow Never Comes. Such a great, angsty, emotional story.

And for Steph (Sakabelle), definitely In Pieces, because it's finished, and I just plain love it :)

And doesn't Lenni do that No Matter What story that is about a million chapters long? lol! I haven't read it (The length is a bit intimidating for a new reader), but it seems VERY popular so I'll have to go with that one for her.

"Trapped" has always been one of my favorite Jenna stories.  Also "Swollen Issues," but we did that one when FFF was around, and would we want to cover the whole trilogy in one month or just do one story?  I will always love "You Go, I Go" too, even if some of the sequels are MIA.

Hey, maybe if the You Go, I Go series gets chosen, if it is only the first one, maybe, just maybe someone would actually know someone that has the rest of the series??

I'm flattered to think I was one of the authors chosen! Good picks, Julie, I guess I really don't know which one of my own I would pick. (I'm like Mare when it comes to choosing your own stuff).

I'm not sure that I have read a story by each of the authors listed, but I will do my best to give input.

LenniLuvsBrian:
Wow, I guess I haven't read as many of Lenni's stories as I originally thought I had. If I had to give an honest opinion, I would say that I want to see "The Root Of All Things Evil" featured because I have been waiting what seems like ages for her to update it! Maybe that would kick her butt in gear if it was featured.

Tri:
Without hesitation I would have to say any of the stories from the "Hearts Don't Lie" series.

Purpura:
Don't hate me Purpura, but I don't think I have read any of your stories. So, I'm sorry but I cannot give any input on this one... *looks away shamefully*

Starry Eyes:
Oh my gosh, without a doubt, "Every Breath You Take"

Mare:
I think I would like to see "13th Step" featured.   ;D

MonkeyAbu:
Is this where I get to do a little shameless plugging for myself and really not feel guilty about it? I would so like to see my story"If Tomorrow Never Comes" featured.

Jenna:
The "Swollen Issues" series is good.

Sakabelle:
Haven't read any of your stories...sorr y Saka...

Rebellious One:
Again, haven't read any of your stories...

Eboni:
Yikes! I'm really not having much luck with this! :-[ Haven't read any of Eboni's stories either...

Judging from this list, methinks I have to start reading more after I'm graduated in May!  lol.

It'd probably be best to go with Any Other Way from my Hearts Don't Lie series, like my readers have said...  It's definitely the most romance-based one since the other ones deal primarily with their relationship related to their friends and family and it's the first in the series.  :)
