Favorite Story Meme

Feb 20, 2011 12:03

In an effort to help me get off my net!ass and keep up with my circle/flist again, I thought of this meme. It's also kinda interesting, too, so that's even better. Please post your response in your own journals and encourage your folks to take it up. Let's see if we can't get some writerly/readerly talk going ( Read more... )

Oooh interesting :) I can't even come up with one of mine that was a fave. Decisions, decisions ;)

It was tough for me, too. I've got close to a dozen that pop up as favorites for some reason or other.

Yeah...and I'm most attached (always) to my WIPS ;)

I don't think I can play with this meme! I just sat down and looked at my list of stories and failed to narrow my favorites even to two or three! I thought of doing my favorite in each fandom, but that doesn't get me past the problem that I'm really happy with my longer SG-1 stories.

LOL! I know! I had the same problem! I even toyed with favorite by genre and fandom, but that didn't fly, either, so I had to just kinda close my eyes and pick. So... PICK! LOL!

Oh geez, I'm gonna have to sleep on that! LOL! Not sure I'll be able to pick one favorite... How's about a top three? *pleading look* LOL!

Does that mean I get to tell you what my fave of your fics is in return? 'Cuz that's totally Worthy. And I'm not just sayin' that so I finally get to read the sequel or anything... *pets macaw!Tony*

ROTFLMAO! Hey, if you want to do a top three,go for it! :-)

Oddly enough, I opened up "Competition" (working title) the other night and made some more notes. I'd like to get it done in the next few weeks, but don't hold your breath. :-)

sinfulslasher February 20 2011, 19:12:02 UTC

I'll try to pick a fave, but if I can't decide until sometime tomorrow, I'm gonna have to go with the top three, sorry. *g*

And YAY! :D Notes are good. I whole-heartedly approve of notes! *nodnod* Aaaand...if I do hold my breath, you're just gonna have to get the story done soon-ish...or I'll faint and then die. And it'll be alllll your fault... *nodnod* Hee!

tejas February 20 2011, 19:16:48 UTC

ROTFLMAO! Suuuuuure it'll be all my fault. :-)

Oooo, this is a good one - I'll have to go through my stuff and sleep on it :)

tejas February 21 2011, 01:39:17 UTC

Cool! Looking forward to what you decide on!

Since most of mine are WIP's, that narrows it down some. All of them are NCIS, although I did do an SG:1 crossover.

Although I love my Fornell stories, Ties That Bind is definitely my favorite. There are a few rough edges I'd like to go back and polish up some day, but all-in-all, I'm extremely happy with the way it turned out.

Some of the reasons I like it:
- an OC of whom I'm very proud.
- most of my favorite characters: Abby, Tony, Gibbs, and even cameos by Maddie and Mrs. Mallard.
- sex and some elements of BDSM (rated FR-15)
- I did tons of research, and think I managed to incorporate it without an info dump.
