JUDGES SELECTION
Catastrophia’s Pick – “The Auction House was my favorite. It was the little nuances on Bella’s part that really made it for me. She was as drawn to him as he was to her. You could feel the need for each other coming off the page. And damn, claiming her in front of everyone? Hot! *fans self*”
Twilover76’s Pick – “Not usually a fan of historical-type fics, but it worked really well here with the “possessiveward” theme. I thought it was well-written, well thought out, and left me wanting more.”
SoapyMayhem’s Pick – “So it was really hard to decide which of these wonderful entries I love most, but when it came right down to it, I had to choose Kimberly Diamond. There was a lightness and playfullness to it that I loved, even though some of the themes were particullarly tragic. Poor Bella was thrust into such an awful situation, but she didn’t let it get her down. Edward was sexy and confident, fighting for the one he wanted even though he already knew she belonged to him. This one was intriguing and unlike anything I’ve read before. Kudos!”
SexyLexiCullen’s Pick – “Shadows of the Soul was brilliantly written, tantalizing, and attention grabbing. It was accurate to the time period, and the author must have put a lot of thought/effort into the piece. To me, it had the most original plot/theme. The story flow was excellent, and the sexual tension jumped off the screen.”
RoseArcadia’s Pick – “I found The Auction House to be very erotic and enjoyable. I’m usually an All Human girl, but every now and then I like a vamp fic that contains a good mating plot mixed with a dash of animalistic passion and lust. And the nature of the claiming, well, I liked the kink of it…what can I say?!”
Nyddi’s Pick – The Most Beautiful Mark – Unfortunately Nyddi was unavailable for comment on her choice of entry.
