Hello everyone,

Wow I saw this the other day and I was never able to get back to it. Hope you all are doing great long time no talk. So I'm in for the challenge...a bit nervous cause I'm putting my old stuff out there eeeek!

Here is the info...

Pen name: KEVMYLOVE

FIGHT ME
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10790&warning=5

Give us a quick summary: She was lost after her mother was put in the hospital. Nick was a drunken mess and didn't care about anything anymore, until Howie gave him HIS responsibility .

Who is the main character? NICK

What genre is it? AU, DRAMA, ROMANCE

How many chapters? 33

Are your chapters long or short? Short

What do you like best about your story? That Nick is a fighter and my female lead isn't Mary sue-ish.

Would you consider it popular? It's one of my well known stories.

Why are you choosing this one for people to read? A lot of people skip my stories because they are AU. I really liked the concept tho.

Anything else we should know about it? (overly violent, sexual, slash, etc) There are a few sex and fighting scenes but I don't think they are graphic.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Safest Place
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8167
Being read by Mare



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Drive Me Crazy
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8968

Give us a quick summary:  Howie has had a rough start to the year, first he got married, then went on a European tour for a couple of months. Now he's back with no wife, just a roadtrip to clear his mind, but AJ has a little selfish twist for him. One he might not recover from!

Who is the main character? HOWIE, AJ

What genre is it? ROMANCE, DRAMA

How many chapters? 36

Are your chapters long or short? SHORT

What do you like best about your story? The interaction between Howie and Millie.

Steph will be reading this one



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Heart Did Time
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8352&warning=4

Give us a quick summary: Anita's life is turned upside down after a drunken stupper and a bad choice on AJ and Howie's behalf. One little secret whispered into the wrong ear can change it all. Which results in a big misunderstandi ng and two broken hearts.

Who is the main character? NICK, AJ, HOWIE

What genre is it? ROMANCE, ANGST

How many chapters? 27

Are your chapters long or short? SHORT

What do you like best about your story? It's been a while since I read it. lol...don't remember.

Why are you choosing this one for people to read? It's another oldie and unpopular one.

Anything else we should know about it? (overly violent, sexual, slash, etc) probably just a little violence and bad words

Hope I did it all right.  :)

Okay so I guess no one else wants to do it this year? Even after I make the participation survey you can still join us. The challenge doesn't start until June so if you want to enter late, feel free.

Name:  Julie

Stories you are going to read:
1) Crash and Burn by mamogirl
2) Finding Carter by DelphinaCarter

Have you ever read either story before?
I've only read the beginning of Finding Carter and haven't read any of Crash and Burn.

What made you decide to choose them?
I started reading Finding Carter when Tracy first started posting it, but fell behind after a couple of chapters and never caught up.  I'd like to give it another chance and see where it goes.

Crash and Burn is a slash, which I don't usually read, but it's about Brian and Nick, who are my favorite Boys, and it's described as a hurt/comfort, which I love, so I thought I'd give it a shot and see.

Is this the first time you're reading anything by either author?
I have read stories by Tracy before, but not Cinzia.

Name: Steph

Stories you are going to read (please include the author's name after the title)
1)
To Protect and Serve by Mare
2) Bound by Honour by Erika
Have you ever read either story before? No, although I did start Bound by Honour but fell so far behind and then kind of never got around to it.
What made you decide to choose them? The boys in uniform sort of caught my attention LOL.  No, seriously they look like really interesting stories and I do like AU.
Is this the first time you're reading anything by either author? No, I've read stories by both writers.

Stories you are going to read
1) Secrets of the Heart by RokofAges75
2) The Other Side of Nic Carter by Alexsgirl_ritz

Have you ever read either story before?
I started reading both stories but never really finished them.

What made you decide to choose them?
"Secrets of the heart" really interested me because of the plot and the fact that's a Brian story. And it has been a period when I'm in love with AUs
Same goes for "The Other Side Of Nick Carter". The plot seems really interesting.

Is this the first time you're reading anything by either author?
For Alexsgirl_ritz yes, while I think I've read all others stories from RokofAges75.

Name: Emily

Stories you are going to read (please include the author's name after the title)
1) Story of My Life by Carter-Orange
2) The Long Road Home by Mare
Have you ever read either story before? Nope
What made you decide to choose them? Story of My Life looked like it would be amusing and a fun read.  I chose The Long Road Home because one of Mare's other "bromance" stories (Why I'd Do it All Again) was one of the first storeis I ever read on the site, and of course, loved it!
Is this the first time you're reading anything by either author? I've read maybe one or two of Carterr-Orange's short/challenge stories, and a few of Mare's (less than half, probably).

Name: DelphinaCarter

Stories you are going to read (please include the author's name after the title)
1) Love Story by Usako

2) Separate Ways by Mare

Have you ever read either story before? No, I have not.

What made you decide to choose them?

Well, Usako's story is something I wouldn't normally read so I wanted to try something different. As for Mare, I always love her stuff and she's my favorite author so I knew I would not go wrong choosing one of her stories. I had read almost all the other ones listed anyway.

Is this the first time you're reading anything by either author?

I have never read anything by Usako. However Mare.....I've read almost everything and this is one of the few that I haven't. the storyline looked interesting to me and I know she writes the group stories that give me the warm fuzzies that I love. haha.
