Fic Talk > Writer's Circle
Let's ring in the new year with some praise!
VeeLynn:
1. What was your biggest writing- or fanfic-related accomplishment of 2008?
I started writing again. Thanks to Reb and Sel I found out Fan Fics were still really popular. I missed writing period so I figured what a better way to get back into it than BSB Fan Fics.
2. What do you feel was the best piece of writing you did this year? It can be a whole story or just a certain chapter or scene. Give us a link or, if it's a really short excerpt (like a paragraph), post it here.
My Breathless Mistress http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8953&warning=4
I love the concept of the story and how it turned out. Coming from the view of AJ and his diary.
3. Which of your own stories are you most proud of, and why? (This doesn't have to be one written in 2008).
That would be Pixcadia - http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8878
it's an AU story and I'm really proud of the way it's turned out and the fact I've pulled in Non AU readers with it. Au's can be hard to write and you can get lost in the details.
4. Give us a link to one of your own stories that you feel is undiscovered or underappreciat ed, and tell us why you think it's worthy of being read.
Pixcadia - http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8878
I think people see AU and turn away from it but I tried to keep my writing simple so people don't get caught in small details and get lost or confused. I put in many unexpected twists and turns. ;)
5. Switching over to praise for other writers, give us a link to someone ELSE'S story that you feel is undiscovered or underappreciat ed. Again, tell us why you think this story is worthy of being read.
Monkey_Abu's A Second Chance. http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8776&warning=5
I love how this story is written, there's a lot of emotion in it, good, bad, hot n heavy. lol I really like it and I think you will too.
6. What was the best story you discovered in 2008? Provide a link, and tell why you liked it.
Obscure Smiles - http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8588
and its' sequels, they're about AJ and him becoming a Dad. Very sad but very well written stories.
7. Name an AC author who impressed you this year (with their writing, their updating, whatever it may be LOL), and tell us why.
I would say Monkey Abu - http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewuser.php?uid=319
I love her writing, the detail and emotion she puts into her stories. It keeps you wanting to read even when you have to stop and wait for updates. lol
8. Do you have any writing- or fanfic-related resolutions for 2009? If so, what are they?
I would say that I would like to try and write a horror story but I don't like scary movies and I've always had trouble scaring people through my writing. lol So it would be something new and interesting.
Carter-Orange:
1. What was your biggest writing- or fanfic-related accomplishment of 2008?
Well, I'm still pretty new to fanfics and writing so I think to have written the few I've done is quite something for me.
2. What do you feel was the best piece of writing you did this year? It can be a whole story or just a certain chapter or scene. Give us a link or, if it's a really short excerpt (like a paragraph), post it here.
I think Never Gone is the best story I've written so far http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9381&warning=4
3. Which of your own stories are you most proud of, and why? (This doesn't have to be one written in 2008).
Patience, this is a Take That fic and is the first one I ever wrote and over on a Take That site the readers seemed to enjoy it.
4. Give us a link to one of your own stories that you feel is undiscovered or underappreciat ed, and tell us why you think it's worthy of being read.
Never Gone. I don't think it's under appreciated or anything, but I think it's not a bad story.

5. Switching over to praise for other writers, give us a link to someone ELSE'S story that you feel is undiscovered or underappreciat ed. Again, tell us why you think this story is worthy of being read.
I've not had a chance to read as much as I'd like yet, so I can't really answer this one. I've loved everything I've read.
6. What was the best story you discovered in 2008? Provide a link, and tell why you liked it.
Without a doubt it's Sinister Devotion by kevmylove. What I like about it is the way that it's different to anything I've ever read before. I love the way it's written, I love the main character Jack, the detail that's gone into writing it, and the way I'm always left wanting more!!
http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9374
7. Name an AC author who impressed you this year (with their writing, their updating, whatever it may be LOL), and tell us why.
Rachel (BSBSavedMyLife) because she seems to have a never ending supply of ideas for her fics and I like the way she writes about the boys. Also because she introduced me to this place :)
8. Do you have any writing- or fanfic-related resolutions for 2009? If so, what are they?
To carry on writing!
honey:
Yay for more people answering this! I agree with both of you. Ashley(MonkeyAbu) is great with emotion, and Erika(kevmylove)'s Sinister Devotion is very unique. It's a good read!
Frick24x:
So, I'm back. I was in an accident and broke two of my fingers. Of course I come back with a survey, because I'm love them... ha.
1. What was your biggest writing- or fanfic-related accomplishment of 2008?
Well, I only finished one story, which was Illusions of Deceit. I guess it was a pretty big accomplishment for me though, because I'd been playing with the idea for a while and because it was my first time writing in third person.
Here's the link to the story: http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9214&warning=4
I have one other story posted, but it isn't very good yet. I'm re-vamping now.
2. What do you feel was the best piece of writing you did this year? It can be a whole story or just a certain chapter or scene. Give us a link or, if it's a really short excerpt (like a paragraph), post it here.
Wow... I have to think... especially since I only finished one story.
My favorite chapter in Illusions is when Brian finally joins the group again, which is a spoiler, but it's an obvious one... the beginning of the chapter begins with my female lead (a Backstreet acquaintance, but not necessarily fan) listening to old Backstreet Boys songs because she's about to accompany Brian to the other four Boys' concert. Brian walks in and teasing ensues.
Here's the link: http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9214&chapter=20
3. Which of your own stories are you most proud of, and why? (This doesn't have to be one written in 2008).
I only wrote one that I'm proud of at all... well, that's not really true because I've had good ideas, but whatever. I'm just going to skip over this question instead of sounding repetitive.
4. Give us a link to one of your own stories that you feel is undiscovered or underappreciat ed, and tell us why you think it's worthy of being read.
Once again, the link to Illusions. I guess taking the first half of this survey was kind of lame for me, but whatever. I think that it was a good, solid romance with a different kind of idea. It wasn't necessarily Boy-meets-girl and a whirlwind romance ensues. It had a different kind of direction.

5. Switching over to praise for other writers, give us a link to someone ELSE'S story that you feel is undiscovered or underappreciat ed. Again, tell us why you think this story is worthy of being read.
Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon by Dani:
http://www.absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8728
Casual By Cabybakes: (Which I have reviewed yet and I'm sorry!)
http://www.absolutechaos.net/search.php
Both are well written stories that have kept me interested. I get obsessive over things, so if you can get me interested, I'll more or less read the whole thing in an entire day, which I did with both of these.
6. What was the best story you discovered in 2008? Provide a link, and tell why you liked it.
Either of the above stories. I read them both this (well, now LAST) year.
7. Name an AC author who impressed you this year (with their writing, their updating, whatever it may be LOL), and tell us why.
I think that everyone that posts here regularly is definitely a good writer. I haven't really kept up with anything-- which I feel bad about, especially since my fingers were broken. I guess that I should have caught up on my fanfic reading, but instead I got caught up in Twilight, which I said I would never do. That, of course, is for another time.
I'm going to go with Caby. I think that she's an excellent writer with a new spin on a old idea. (Hopefully, that didn't sound insulting... if I did, I didn't mean it that way.)
8. Do you have any writing- or fanfic-related resolutions for 2009? If so, what are they?
Write more. Write better. Edit the second story that I have posted to make it better.
Sapphire:
I'm pretty new to writing but thought I'd give this a shot.
1. What was your biggest writing- or fanfic-related accomplishment of 2008?
Plus Size and Plus Size Part 2. It was the first story I ever posted online and a story that means a lot to me.
2. What do you feel was the best piece of writing you did this year? It can be a whole story or just a certain chapter or scene. Give us a link or, if it's a really short excerpt (like a paragraph), post it here.
Going to say Plus Size. I think for a first attempt it wasn't that bad.
3. Which of your own stories are you most proud of, and why? (This doesn't have to be one written in 2008).
Probably Plus Size. I sometimes feel my writing isn't as good as that story. But I'm still new to all this.

Possibly SHMILY. http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=9227
5. Switching over to praise for other writers, give us a link to someone ELSE'S story that you feel is undiscovered or underappreciat ed. Again, tell us why you think this story is worthy of being read.
Lenni's Christmas Challenge story. Her writing of the relationship between Tesia and AJ is amazing. She very good at showing the dynamic between the siblings and how AJ is more of a father figure to Tesia than a brother.

6. What was the best story you discovered in 2008? Provide a link, and tell why you liked it.
Sinister Devotion and Ray of Hope both by kevmylove. Both are incredibly written with great detail and character development.

kevmylove. For reasons I wrote in #6
8. Do you have any writing- or fanfic-related resolutions for 2009? If so, what are they?
To write more, I have a lot of ideas swirling in my head. And to definetly write BETTER!! I want to be able to develope my characters more and to have more detail to things.
