Your favorite

Hm. Well. hm. First you tell me what yours is? No one asked yet :D and may I ask why it is your choice?

The Screening is my best story posted at lit. It was an experiment of the senses, and originally titled 'in sense'. It was written from a combination of experience, and obsession for a particular someone. It is the most poetic and detailed of my stories. However, I personally love 'The Window', another experiment regarding sight and a feminist foray into how one can castrate that overpoweringly patriarchal vision. I was very satisfied with it, and despite my theoretical stance on these stories . . . LOL . . . they are hot to boot. :D

Edit to add: reading posts the thing I wonder about everyone's choice for their favourite is why? What makes this or that story more favoured than another? To me this is part of the intrigue, and I don't mean to step on Shanglan's hooves (he'd probably kick me anyhow - ouch), but just a dimension to consider. :)

Damn. Knew I should have just come in, checked my PMs and left. Sigh. Too late now.

And double damn, which to chose?

I guess it would be The Orange Slip, which my readers seem to have really liked.
 
M.I.K.E.

It's my fave so far. I'm still only up to page 4 on your Will story... I'll have to find time to finish it ;)

But you have to admit it sounds scary? :eek:



I promise, I will read it.


Don't worry, it doesn't hurt. I conveniently broke it down into chapters for you.

I know you will when you get a chance... it's not going anywhere.

I am proud of it though. It even surprises me when I look back at it, that I actually wrote it (especially in such a short time, 6 weeks.) Several people have urged me to edit it and start shopping it to e-publishers.

(Okay, how do you do links now? I just got if figured out on the old system! *whine*)

Correction. I was the first to respond to this thread -- and I asked. :D
 
I'd say my favorite of my still posted stories is Mythical Encounter by the Stream.

All Hallow's Eve definitely. While I enjoyed writing Valentine's in the Dregs immensely and though it may be the better work, All Hallow's Eve just has a very special place in my heart. There was something visceral and bittersweet and it was a fun experimental writing piece. Overall, just something that sticks out personally as my favourite over the other writings.
 
Sorry, it's a toss up for me. Either Jade or Watching. The first because I really got to stretch my mind. (And yes it still hurts from being stretched that way.) The second because it was just plain fun to write.

It was the first one that I didn't absolutely loathe by the time I got to the end of it.
No, really, that's it.

I'm usually the most "attached" to my most recent work -- but in this case, both pieces have personal meaning to me as well.

You've read it, Blackie. It's in my sig. :cool:

Loved it too, Liar. I highly recommend it to everyone. It's wonderful writing and just a joy to read - great characters and a delicious command of the language.

On the "why" issue for my choice - partly it's style, which I've been working to refine and which I think is best in "Will." Partly it's that it was such an immense challenge to write it, and it's such an odd and difficult story. And partly, I have to admit, because I love my two central characters, and for once they seem to have come acrosss on the page in some approximation of the wonderful people I know them, in my heart, to be. I know it will sound arrogant and I can only plead that I don't mean that I adore my story or think myself clever - only that those two people at the center of it really touched and moved me, and when I read my own poor efforts I see at least some hint of the vision of them that came to me.

Oh, Horsey. Please do not apologize for being proud of your work and definitely not for caring about your characters. :rose:
 
Promise to read it?

Forced to Pee

It was the first one were I took a lot of time on the details and development of the story. I wanted to take a fetish that didn't automatically turn me on and really talk the reader into being turned on by it.

For something quit personal and heartreding (in my opinion) A Lover's Lament which is probably punished for the fact that it has no actual erotic content! But it is a love letter, and there is much talk of passion and longing. But it won't turn you on. At best, it will make you cry.
 
Innocent Pawn Ch.9

The female captive finally makes her captor squirm by giving him back a bit of his own. It had been a long time coming. :D

Burning Bridges

Has to be that story, I truly managed to step outside of myself and convince readers of the authenticity of the tale.


Most definitely.

I adored that story, was completely blown away by it. Its on my list of stories to re-read at regular intervals.

:rose:

As for me...........one of my earlier efforts, 'Rhapsody' used to be. But as my writing technique has grown, the manner of the writing seems clumsy to me, even in the storyline still grips me.

I think right now Heather's Baptism for my own story, and Cut & Dried which was written jointly with Emerald Kitten, and in the my poetry, How do I want you?.
