Yes that is summer03. It was AJ and Nick centered, you are correct. For personal reasons she took down her stories but she is slowly adding them back. If you would like, I can send her an email and tell her you are asking for that story. It's called "Summer Romance".

I thought I was going crazy when I couldn't find that story anywhere! LoL Yes, that'd be great if you could. Thanks! :)

I was reading that one too and can't find it either.
Chaos:
1. What was your biggest writing- or fanfic-related accomplishment of 2008 2009?
Getting myself writing again at all!
Mare, I totally get where you are right now. I went through such a dry writing-spell (part with health reasons, part just...no motivation...I really thought my fanfic and possibly even my writing in general was over and done with. Even if it is over for fanfic for you, though, I really hope you do continue to write your original stories!
2. What do you feel was the best piece of writing you did in 2009? 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.
Tough call, but I'd go with Unbuttoned. It was my first attempt at a "romance" story, and I thought it turned out really well.
3. Which of your own stories are you most proud of, and why? (This doesn't have to be one written in 20082009).
Overall, I might actually still choose Ground Zero.
But for this year, I would have to go with The DiNozzo Experience (TM). I surprised myself with this one (and surprise myself now as I'm choosing it...) It's a story I never imagined I'd write for many reasons (biggest one of which being that it's intentionally slashy, which is closely followed by it's romance at all...) I'm proud that I managed to accomplish both of those objectives and yet managed to keep the characters (almost) completely in character (except for well...the slash, but...erm...th ey're stil really close!)
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.
12 Kisses I tried to capture the feel of some of the old madcap comedies as the story flows through the 12 kisses between 12 different couples (rather 11 couples and one "threesome" :o )
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.
Pieces to the Puzzle by Honey. I thought this was a really well done Castle fic. Kelly manages to capture the characters, and yet also manages to make a normally unflappable character believably vulnerable.
6. What was the best story you discovered in 20082009? Provide a link, and tell why you liked it.
There Loomed an Ogre. It was very intense and terrifically angsy without going too over the top.
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'll admit that I haven't kept up with many here on AC (sorry, just not into Backstreet fic...:( ) But Honey impressed me with her original works!)
8. Do you have any writing- or fanfic-related resolutions for 20092010? If so, what are they? Just to keep writing. I'd still really like to finish all the In Progress stories I've left open, but...I admit that it's unlikely that I will find the motivation/inspiration for some of them, and when I've tried to force it, it's only made me stop writing until I give in and write the stories that I do have the inspiration for...
Add on Question: Has anything changed since the last time you answered this? Why? My primary fandom has changed; I finally found a fandom that seems to have virtually unlimited plot bunnies for me to chase after. And I've also started focusing more on writing short stories--which has been very good for me in that endings are usually the hardest for me...and has kept me from starting so many stories that don't get finished. I've given myself more freedom to write what I want to write, and celebrate my successes rather than dwelling on my failures.

Amen! LoL That was 2008 for me. I feel like writing is extra rewarding when its been awhile and you get back into it.
