This wonderfully written essay tells us what to search for, how to take care of it and that dreams do come true. MS Anderson's profound missive touches the heart, opens the soul and rings true for not only this life but eternity. My Whole Life, I have searched for the 'one' and now I know she exists.

  Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! When I finished reading this Holiday weekend, I realized I had consumed Fingersmith's stories in the reverse order they were written.

  Dwelling in the Past by Fingersmith (alternative, Original/Über - Modern, 134 Pages)

  What a delight! You've seen the references in previous comments to the "dark" nature of this tale, but for me there were hidden sparkling gems. References to American music, movies and cartoons(Scooby-Doo) with the interspersed English idioms such as "gob smacked" brought a smile to my face time and again! This is one talented author!! What a well-crafted, thghtly-woven story! Thanks yet again, Fingersmith, for sharing your wonderful imagination in such a stellar manner. - Therese Dec 26th, 2005

  Beginnings by Fingersmith (alternative, Original/Über - Modern, 206 Pages)

  What a marvelous read! Writing in first person is daring and this author has fulfilled the dare with style. The story is full up with angst, humor, love and just plain real life. I'd recommend the novel to my Mom (she's a former teacher and a fellow reader of the "avid" ilk) - and that's the highest compliment I can give. Thanks for sharing your talent Fingersmith, you've been added to my short list of favorites! - Therese Dec 26th, 2005

  Unexpected Arrival by RJ Nolan (alternative, Original/Über - Futuristic, 151 Pages)

  I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all my loyal readers for all the wonderful response Unexpected Arrival has received. The reaction has been phenomenal. Star Trek Voyager was a bit of a departure from my usual writing but was a fun experience. Seven of Nine has always been my favorite character, and I was intrigued by the idea of creating a story that featured Seven and expanded on the character we had all come to love. Many of the emails I’ve received concerning this story have requested, sometimes quite adamantly in fact ;-) a sequel to Unexpected Arrival. To that end, as a thank you to everyone who has taken the time to write and share with me their enjoyment of Unexpected Arrival I have an announcement. Coming in January to the Athenaeum: The sequel to Unexpected Arrival… Join Del and Seven on a totally new adventure as they go Into the Void. Happy Reading! - RJ Nolan Dec 24th, 2005

  Beginnings by Fingersmith (alternative, Original/Über - Modern, 206 Pages)

  Desert Storm by Susanne M. Beck (Sword'n'Quill) (alternative, Original/Über - Pre 20th Century, 129 Pages)

  A masterpiece of descriptive writing and creativity in ideas. I was moved to near tears in one scene (I don't cry when I read!) and nearly gagged up dinner in another scene.(I like keeping dinner in place.) This FIRST section of DESERT STORM is in 12 parts. Has the author completed the SECOND half of the story? I'd loved to read it, and was sorry not to see it there. It's a story I couldn't put down. You left us off with Kael and Ianna. You guaranteed the reader the 'next' character, who we all happen to love...so, ya up for it author? I am. - Anonymous Dec 23rd, 2005

After all traditional dating venues fail, Jessica develops a bond with a promising respondent to her personal ad, that she'd placed on an Internet web site, When Jessica is finally about to have her dream realized, and meet her cyber mate, Cynthia, the present collides unexpectedly and painful with the past "Memories of love."

  Compensation by S. Anne Gardner (alternative, Original/Über - Modern, 153 Pages)

  This powerful story starts out like a conqueror story does but slowly it changes into an entity that keeps you on the edge until the end. I’ll admit I’m a guy but I cried all through out this one. This isn’t the one to read if you want a feel good story, but if you want a suspenseful, romantic, difficult to read at times tearjerker this is the one to read. After reading this I immediately went to my wife and told her “I love you” because sometimes you don’t get a second chance to tell the people you love how you feel. Thank you S. Anne Gardner for all of your great writing. - Draco Dec 16th, 2005

  Avenging Angel by Aurelia (alternative, Original/Über - Pre 20th Century, 43 Pages)

  SIMPLY ELEGANT! Perfect in it's imagery. Bold AND subtle, just like the Japanese culture. A beautiful story of love, in a period torn by political violence and enormous cultural change. An unusual joining that was perfectly balanced. Light and dark. East and West. Yin and Yang. Beautiful. (Off to read the rest of her stuff!) - Evelyn Nov 22nd, 2005

  McKee by A. C. Henley (alternative, Original/Über - Modern, 127 Pages)

  Here's a truly intriguing dark tale that might seem to be just another PI tale at first glance. A.C. Henley has masterfully constructed a gritty tale whose center is the dark enigmatic Quin McKee, a PI who does not play by the rules and yet gets the job done. She has friends in high places and in the lowest depths and her heart is something else...fraught with a world of hurt and then some. As the story opens, in crossing paths with those she once called friends after a three years absence, she now meets detective Vivian Walsh, one tough cop that might change her ways and mend some fences. But can the tall blonde break through the barriers and really get through to KcKee? Read on as Book One unravels some of the mysteries... - Anastacia Nov 20th, 2005

  Brilliant! Fantastic! Terrific! Engaging! Entertaining! Intriquing! Um I may run out of superlatives, but I would definitely recommend 'running out' to read this story! For starters, it is very well written with grace and style. It is a tale in the true tradition of story telling. Incredibly descriptive (umm, a little hit and miss with ancient geography, but hey.)you really feel drawn in to the world of Har. The characters of X & G are very nicely developed within the tale, while still be familiar from the show. Well done. Off to read the sequal now. - XenaVirgin Nov 18th, 2005

  Northern Love - Journal of A Lesbian Summer Romance by Elle Carey (alternative, Original/Über - Modern, 7 Pages)

  Well, I like this story/journal as it has some interesting aspects delving into the writers character, how she grew up to some degree, how she especially relates to others and how she deals with her being gay. Location of story is kind of rustic but scenic. The circumstances are past and what you read is much like a back story. There are some funny lines and I like hearing how she deals with her life for the most part which is uncomfortable at times and even painful, though not unhappy. There was no email addy to give feedback to the author so hopefully that will be added to the next part. - KC Nov 10th, 2005

  HI, Xanjaa and Patricia, Wow!!! What a great ending to the story! My emotions were on over load and my stomach was doing flips. I had to get up from reading the battle it was stressing me out. Nice job, usually I get lost reading them and have a hard time figuring out who is doing what to whom. Your description of what Tynet had to endure depressed me but then the human race can be pretty cruel to each other. I Liked the heart to heart talk that Ephiny and Pony had about Adara. Pony had to love Adara enough to let her be happy. That whole story line was beautifully written,very touching. I got kind of upset when I thought you killed Pony, nice one. I am glad everyone made it threw all right, I like happy endings. Thank you for a great story. I`m looking forward to reading the next parts. - Nancy G. Nov 6th, 2005

The spooky fangs,a wildly imaginative Gabby, sheep to eat or count, but no Dracula, Xena's eye rolling, and fending off a shadowy wolf, & her rabbit skinning skills. The funny double entendre humor springs forth in this cleverly written, suggestive short tale capturing X & G at their best. You can tell this bard knew & loved these characters. This is an excellent trip back to the early funny & lighter sides of X & G. A hint of Halloween here, so treat yourself & enjoy this little bit of mind candy! - Casey Oct 27th, 2005

I think it would be great to see more with these current pairings. I would recommend the to others to read. But I would kind of like to see you write exactly what happened in the SGC that day both on and off planet, and the trip to the Nox planet and that interaction as well. Maybe a flashback in the future story. I hope your muse is kind and we see more of your work in this universe. - wmnwholves Sep 19th, 2005

  this is just an awesome, highly original vampire series with a good mix of action, character development, romance, sex (which has not been drawn out, but still steamy), and evolving plot. surprisingly, the first two parts of this series is not listed on this site (Tasting Desire and Blood Vengeance), although they are on AoB site. (i highly recommend reading parts 1 and 2 before hitting balances). i'm not much into vampires, this was one of those few ubers that combined all the good elements plus great grammar, decriptions, and knowledge of sentence structure to keep me reading into dawn. - kate - Anonymous Sep 19th, 2005 Editor's Note: Ask and ye shall receive... Tasting Desire and Blood Vengeance have been added.

  Obsession by Darkenedkarma (alternative, 21 Pages)

  This was an excellent short story. I'm not usually into vampire tales but this one was too good. Obsession is a vampire tale but it also happens to be an unconventional love story. I saw there was a sequel called Obsession Returned and I can't wait to read it. In fact, I'm going to do that now. - Tara Sep 13th, 2005

It's a story filled with a building friendship, emotions, and suspense. This is the 3rd or 4th time I've read the book (424 pages) and it's so well written that each time I couldn't put it down until I completed it. This is a MUST!! - Jeanne Sep 12th, 2005

  I was looking for something new to read when I came across 'Fate' by DE Salsbury. I read the entire story in one sitting. I can honestly say that this story is one of the most well written pieces I have read on the net so far. The plot was well thought out with enough twist and turns to keep my intrest through out.

  Passion's Fool by Kim Pritekel (alternative, Original/Über - Modern, 38 Pages)

  This is one of very few fanfic stories that I come back to again and again. The concept is original which sets it apart from the beginning. I normally prefer contemporary stories but as this was so well constructed and written I didn't have time to think about the setting. I like a good story and I like a good PWP but this combination (that the author names SWP) is great, with the sex scenes enhancing and complimenting the story while also being really hot at the same time! I highly recommend this story and commend the author for an engaging and sexy interpretation of 'marriage' traditions of the past! Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your work! - Leah Sep 4th, 2005

  Vows of the Heart by Alex Tryst (alternative, Original/Über - Modern, 179 Pages)
