Hello my lovely Fanfickers!

It's been a while... I know, I know! Please don't stone me! But I bring gifts with me... well... not necessarily! This post will consist of some recommendations, recognitions, and some other things that I hope you all will enjoy!

First and foremost, I would like to make a shout out to all that participated in our latest poll! Your help is always greatly appreciated and it helps me figure out what I need to do to make this blog a better service to my readers! According to 94% of the votes, most of you guys get your fics from Soompi.com.* I LOVE Soompi! This is a great site for anyone in any age level! The moderators on the website screen everything that is written so that there will be no foul language or "lemon" scenes! Parents can definitely trust this website when it comes to Asian fanfics, music, fashion and other sorts of blogs!

I just found a website, AsianFanfics.com,* that also tickles my fancy! Unlike Soompi, which focuses on Asian (predominantly Korean) pop culture, this website focuses on Asian fanfiction and fanfiction in general ONLY! I love it because I have found several writers that are extrodinary authors that aren't held back from the strict rules that are enforced by other forums. However, PARENTS AND OLDER SIBLINGS BEWARE!!! There are many stories on that forum that contain adult scenes. These stories are marked with an H, which means that people under the age of 18 will not be able to see the contents of this story due to some "mature" content! Other than that, I think that this fanfic forum deserves to be checked out, especially for the writers who might want to type out their story right onto the forum. Asianfanfics.com gives you the option to save your work without showing anything to your readers until you say so!

By the way, I am also starting my own fic which is tentatively entitled, "Love is not just Another Four Letter Word". It's a Gasoo fic starring my original characters, Tracy Park and Darnelle Jones, and my favorite Korean boy group, DBSK (all five of them.... KEEPING FAITH!!! ^^). I'll make a separate post for a synopsis, but for now I will just leave the links for you guys to check out at the bottom of this post. There are two versions of the story that I will have. The story will be on Soompi and on AsianFanfics. I do this only because there will be lemon scenes and to respect the bylaws of the Soompi team I will make the Soompi version rated PG-13. However, the AsianFanfics version will contain mature adult content and WILL NOT be accessible to people under the age of 18. I hope you guys enjoy my story! Feel free to leave me comments on either versions or right here on the BFF blog!

Right now I'm stalking a few new fics! One of my favorite authors, Skyelee21**, has started a new fic entitled, "Six Ways to Sunday"***. Soompi's Reader's Choice Award nominee, Cookie3005, has also started started on a new story called, "Takara"***. Another fic I'm juggling is called, "Just One More Time" by MissusChoiSeungHyun****. Of course these stories will be recommended individually, but I just wanted to throw some fics out there for those of you who don't know what to read.

Some things to expect in the near future are some more interviews with our favorite authors and some news from Amore so be on the look out for some new updates!

Well... it's just about that time for me to head out now. If you guys have any stories that you would like to recommend to me I would love to check them out! Just leave me a comment and I'll hop to it!

P.S. Don't forget to check out my latest poll on the left side of this blog! This poll is a VERY important poll to me so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE VOTE!!!

Happy Reading!!!

Don of Drama

2011-05-01T15:14:00.028-04:00

Ciao! My name is Amore. I'm so excited to be a part of the BFF family! I love to watch dramas and read fanfix of all kinds. To begin with, I hope I meet everyone's high expectations as the Don of Drama. So far, of the dramas I've watched, Boys Over Flowers is my favorite but now it is time to move on to bigger and better Dramas. According to the polls, 85% of you guys want me to watch Dream High! Dream High is a drama based on students at an arts and entertainment school going through the strokes of teenage life. I know a lot of you are excited about getting to see Lee Yoon-ji act and I'm excited as well about hearing a lot of 2pm on the OST. Seeing as JYP Entertainment is a big part of it, I'm positive there will be a lot of singing and dancing. Not to mention the fact that the show has been in the top ten ever since it aired, going from eighth place to being third, not only in Seoul, South Korea, but WORLDWIDE!!! I know I'll have a good time watching it!

Music is very important to me so I will be commenting on the soundtrack of dramas I review. Of course every review must have pros and cons. I'll make sure to give thorough details of the actors acting, the story plot and how it advances, and the direction of the shows. Again, I can't stress how happy I am to be a part of this!! I hope everyone welcomes me with the warmest regards and gives me a chance to prove what I can do to the fullest. I will enjoy writing my reviews as much as I hope you will enjoy reading them.

Don't forget to go on Soompi to learn more about the show, extra rating information and just talk about the drama!! Click on the link below.

2011-04-21T20:00:00.006-04:00

Hello Fellow Fanickers and Asian Drama Lovers!!

Last month majority of voters ruled for the addition of a drama recommendation portion to this blog. With new additions comes more responsibility. In order to be able to fulfill my devotion to the fanfic community, I felt that it was necessary to get someone to join the BFF family that would be the best candidate for this task! I would like to introduce to you all the new Don of Drama....

Amore

Amore will not only be recommending the best dramas to watch but she will also be critiquing the one's that she watches. Those who are sensitive about their favorite characters or actors, please be open minded about the opinions of Amore. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. If you disagree with her , I implore you to please leave a comment that isn't bashing her! Otherwise, I will be forced to block you from the blog.

At the end of the voting period for the poll on the left side of this blog Amore will begin her recommending. However, in a few days she'll make her debut and finally present herself to everyone! Until then, continue voting on the poll so we can get his drama watching started!!!

Happy Voting!!!

Miss Bouakham

2011-04-15T22:00:00.001-04:00

D.O.B.: 10.27.1987
First Name: Bouakham
Online Aliases: Miss Bouakham
Personal Blog (if any): Nope :)

Tru: Hello Miss Bouakham!!! Thank you so much for participating in this interview. I’m so excited to have this interview with such a great and well respected author.
My first question for you is when did you first start writing fanfics? And what or who inspired you to begin?
Miss B: I started writing back in my sophomore year of high school…that would be 2003? It was when I was first introduced to kpop (particularly fly to the sky, shinhwa, baby vox, etc.). I’ve always loved kdramas/kpop, reading, and daydreaming about romantic plots, but I didn’t know what to do with all three combinations. Until I took a creative writing class in 2003. Then my sister discovered winglin, and the rest is history. Ever since, I have been writing fanfics inspired by my favorite actors and idols. That’s probably one of the main reasons why I keep to fanfic instead of NG, my leading stars inspire me to continue writing.
Tru: That is a very interesting concept! No one has described their reason for using celebrities in that manner. It’s usually because everyone else is doing it or because they want it to be a true fanfic! Your reason is rather unique if I must say so myself!
Do you have any favorite authors in the fanfic world? If so, who?
Miss B: I have to admit that I do not read much fanfics, so I cannot give any specific names. I usually indulge myself with romance novels. I find those plots are more to my liking.
Tru: Really?? So who would you say is your favorite published author and book?

Miss B: I’m a sucker for sappy romances. To name one on the top of my head, I would have to say Judith McNaught’s Something Wonderful and Until You are both by far my top favorites. Perhaps these novels are a bit more mature. But the romance McNaught portrays is absolutely breathtaking and you can’t help falling in love with the heroes and heroines.
Tru: After reading "Moonlit Masquerade" I was impatiently waiting for an encore but realized that you went on a hiatus. What brought you back?

Miss B: My hiatus was almost two years. It wasn’t due to lack of inspiration, but more to life itself. College was becoming demanding and so I had to remove myself from the cyber world completely, lol. During my hiatus though, I never stopped thinking or writing. I wrote bits and pieces. I jotted down ideas that came to me. Writing is a stress reliever for me. As a writer, and I’m sure many writers can relate, I am constantly thinking about my stories. I think about the next scene, the next dialogue, my characters…whether it is while driving or during my breaks at work…my stories consume a big part of my time and thought. It’s almost obsessive, really. (A healthy obsession, I hope).
Tru: Lol, it’s most definitely a healthy obsession! One always needs something to make them feel liberated. Writing is your obsession and reading fanfix and writing poetry are mine! ^_^

You have recently started a fanfic, called "Between Two Worlds"; could you give us a brief synopsis on what it's about?

Miss B: Yes, I had this fanfic planned since the completion of “Moonlit Masquerade.” Although I had to put it off, I constantly thought of the plot and characters. It features, once again, Choi Seunghyun and Kim Yoobin.

Synopsis: Brought together by a centuries old family curse, Yoobin manages to enter Seunghyun’s world and is immediately wedded to him. He isn’t exactly the doting husband. Cold and stoic, his indifferent demeanor terrifies Yoobin. Until circumstances, and possibly love, force him to become the perfect man. But throw in a powerful sorceress, an ambitious mistress, some rebels, an unsettled King and discover if their love is meant to be. Can both Seunghyun and Yoobin withstand the test of fate? But most importantly, is Yoobin guaranteed to stay there…forever?

Tru: Wow… I’m so excited about this fanfic! When I came across it on Soompi, I just new I had to put it on my “Watch List” because the plot is VERY different from what I have read in the past and it’s a very risky theme that you have chosen due to the fact that its setting is in Joseon (somewhat like Middle Aged South Korea).

Do you have any plans for the future, as a writer?

Miss B: During my hiatus, I took two fiction writing courses at my university. My professor didn’t want genre stories, so we had to write literary fictions. My stories in class focused a lot on my Hmong culture. Although I love writing on that subject, it really torn me because what I write on Soompi is so different from what I write in class. My professor believes that as a genre writer, it is hard to move away from the circle once your fanbase is established. He believes a literary fiction writer has more leeway. Anyway, I don’t really know where I’m going with this exactly. I guess what I’m basically trying to say is, I don’t think I’ll ever try to publish anything. First off, I don’t think it’s publication material. And these stories are my little treasures, it’s a vulnerable position to put these personal treasures out there to be criticized and shredded to pieces, lol.

Tru: That is very understandable. The publishing world can be very brutal, but I sincerely believe that your work is worth at least trying to let someone check it out! All of your stories are well thought out and beautifully put together.

So, as a very successful author on Soomp!, do you have any suggestions for the newbies?

Miss B: We’ll have to first redefine “successful” since I’m certain I do not fall under that category ;-). However, I have written for many years though, and one word of advice I have is: don’t ever stop writing. We do what we do because we have a passion for it. We have a fondness for storytelling, whether it is through characters, dialogue, or plotlines. And that’s what makes you a good writer. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Tru: Do you have any shout outs that you would like to make?

Miss B: I would like to thank ALL my readers, from 2003 in winglin to now in soompi, for all their support. It’s gratifying to know that there is at least one person out there who enjoys the writing I put out, who enjoys the world I have created with my favorite idols. You guys are all one of my greatest inspirations. Thank you!

Tru: Before I let you go, one of your fans had a couple of questions that they would like to ask you.

Angie Asks:
1. Do most things come from real life experiences? or are they made up on the spot?

2. If you weren't writing what would you be doing?

Miss B: I wish I could say my stories come from real life experiences, because then I would be living in my very own kdrama world with that perfect main lead. But no, my stories are a result of my overactive imagination, and nothing else. Sometimes I might throw in a few things here and there that mirrors me (inconsequential things such as color preferences, etc.), but that’s about it.

I write purely for the joy of it. I have not considered making a career from writing. However, I can’t imagine what I would be doing with my leisurely time had I not started writing. It’s been a part of me for so long now that I don’t think I can adequately answer this rhetorical question. Especially now that I’m done with school and just working, I have so much more free time. I can’t imagine doing anything else with a good portion of my free time, except to write :)

Tru: Well, thank you so much Miss Bouakham for taking time out of your busy schedule to partake in this interview with me! We (your fans) are very grateful for giving us the privilege to get to know you on a more personal level!

Hey Fanfic Lovers!

This post is the interview that I had with the lovely Skyelee21. I had a lot of fun interviewing her! She's a really nice person and has great advice for those of you who are just starting your writing career. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did. Before I forget, I would like to thank all who have participated in this interview and helped me think of some good questions to ask Skyelee!

D.O.B.: 2-21

First Name: Tara

Online Aliases: skyelee21 (on Soomp!)

Personal Blog (if any): I have an old writing journal on LJ which is skyescraps, mainly featuring DBSK ficlets, and I’m hoping to revive my new writing blog fugueindminor, on LJ as well.

Tru: How would you phonetically pronounce the name of your blog? It looks like a German word!

Skyelee: It’s actually three words and a letter, fugue in D minor, with fugue pronounced like “few” with a “g” at the end of the word (fewg). I am especially fond of the concept of flight (my twitter name has the actual word), and in musical terms, fugue is French for “to flee” or basically, “flight.” I chose “D” because of DBSK, and minor because I was only thinking of posting drabbles and short fics back when I was creating the blog. :P

Tru: What or who have been your biggest inspiration to write your fanfics?

Skyelee: Basically anybody I’m looking up to or admiring at the moment (entertainment industry-wise). Lee Donggun was my “key” to Korean fanfiction writing, since he starred in my first fanfiction that featured a Korean character.

Tru: It's common knowledge that you are a fellow DBSK fan. How do you feel about the new groups that have formed after the SM Entertainment controversy with the now JYJ group?

Skyelee: I have no problems whatsoever with the new groups, really. People come and go and in the entertainment industry most especially, nobody really is indispensable. I do however, have trouble keeping track of the new groups and don’t have as much time now to fangirl like I did with DBSK five years ago, so it would be a task for me to write anything related to the new groups. This is why I still write with DBSK (Yunho, Changmin and Yoochun—my biases—most especially) in mind.

Tru: Well, I don't have a problem with you sticking to DBSK…. I actually prefer them over the others because I'm more familiar with their faces. And like you said every other day someone new comes out. There isn't enough time in our lives to fangirl over the lastest group anymore! Lol The pleasures and blessings of being a young fangirl! How do you fit writing these fics into your busy schedule?

Skyelee: Actually, I have trouble fitting it in my schedule, since right now there are so so so many distractions (*cough*TVXQCOMEBACK*cough* for one) that I find it difficult to just sit down and just write! Sometimes when inspiration hits me hard I just grab a pen and my notebook and scribble stuff down, or if I don’t have it with me, I take my phone out and key in some stuff just so I don’t forget. And then when I get home, I start making sense of them.

Tru: Hee hee!! (YAY TVXQ COMBEBACK!!!) You know, "Queen of Wishful Thinking" is the reason why I'm so into Asian pop culture. (First and foremost THANK YOU for writing that story!) How does it make you feel to know that, although they are works of fiction, your stories have impacted people from around the world?

Skyelee: I feel really flattered that you mentioned *Queen of Wishful Thinking since it HAS been ages since that was completed, and it was my first ever DBSK fanfic as well. I have plenty of memories writing that piece, and I am glad that five years later there are still people like you who come up to me (online) and tell me that they liked my old fics. To have made a mark on these readers’ hearts is really an achievement in itself.

Tru: I must admit… that is one of my favorite stories and everyone that I share it with says that they love it too! Do you have any favorite Soomp! authors or stories?

Skyelee: To be honest, and I’ve told some people this before, I have a bad track record in keeping track of or finishing certain pieces of fiction I see over the internet. Perhaps it’s because there’s a lot of distraction, that’s why I barely finish any fiction posted online. I hope this doesn’t sound rude or anything but have to say I don’t have any favorites as of the moment.

Tru: Hahaha nope it isn't rude at all! ^_^ So do you have any future plans to get another story on Soompi or another forum or have have you hung up your ink pen for good?

Skyelee: I do, in fact have… at least two plots running around my head for quite some time now. From time to time, I’d be bouncing off ideas with our fanfix mod and sometimes she’d give me bits and pieces of insight. It just got busy on my end ever since I finished Chasing After You, that’s why I haven’t been able to work on any new piece as of yet. But rest assured that I will be writing and posting again. I can’t promise you when, though, but I hope it doesn’t take me another three years! ^^

Tru: I will definitely be there just waiting for your first post! Your stories don't have lemons so I don't feel hesitant to share them with my sisters. I think that's why everyone loves you. Your stories are simply well put together without adding unnecessary lemon scenes! ^_^

So as a successful author on Soompi, what message would you like to give to the newbies who have just discovered their talent?

Skyelee: (The word successful is very heavy! :P)
Just write, write, write! Don’t let anything stop you from writing, not even negative criticism should get in your way. As long as you continue writing, you’ll be able to sift your mistakes through and polish your skills. I myself have a long long looooong way to go, but I try to write every once in a while so I don’t get rusty or lose the drive. Just continue writing and love what you’re writing. Hopefully, your readers will love you back for what you’ve created. ^^

Tru: That's some really good advice!! Do you have any shout outs you would like to make??

Skyelee: To my readers, everyone from *Queen of Wishful Thinking, to She Who Must Not Be Loved, to Chasing After You, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the love and the time and the attention you’ve given me. I hope I’ll be able to “meet” you again sometime soon, hopefully with a new story I’ll be able to share with you. Everyone who’s been encouraging me to write, you know who you are, thank you for believing. <3

Tru: One last question before I let you go.

Nuna501 (Gypsy) asked: Skyelee21, who's your fave published author? And can you share the first sentence of your nanowrimo entry? Thanks again for doing this interview!!!

Skyelee: Right now, my favorite author would be Mitch Albom.

And my first sentence for the unfinished Nanowrimo entry would be this: Some people say that when one’s in the brink of death, his entire life flashes before his very eyes.

Tru: Thanks again Tara for taking time out of your busy schedule to do this interview with me! I'm sure your other fans are happy to get know you on a more personal level!

Skyelee: Thank you so much as well for making me part of this blog of yours, Tru. ^^ I feel really honored that you approached me for this interview, and I hope to be able to inspire new writers out there too.

A Few Updates

2011-03-24T13:46:00.002-04:00

Helllooooo Fanfickers!

I just wanted to updat you all on a few things as we progress along with some new things and start making the old things better! First, I still have not been able to locate another version of the story that was posted by Skyelee21 called "Queen of Wishful Thinking". The only version that I know exists was on ShoeBox. If anyone knows where I can find it somewhere else please let me know!! Second, I will be posting the BFF of the Month of March within the next few days...yes I know it's about time! But so much planning has been going on for some new additions to this blog that I was slacking on it! I also will be getting a Blast from the Past in shortly, as well.

So I'm almost done with Skylee's interview (author of Chasing After You, She Who Must Not Be Loved, and Queen of Wishful Thinking). We're just adding some final touches to it so that it will be polished and ready to show the world!

Questions for Con.template (author of An Eternity of Eclipse and Welcome to the Underworld) is now CLOSED. I am still accepting questions for Miss Bouakham, Nuna501 (Gypsy), and newly added S.U.N.D. A.E.!!!! S U N D A E is the author of Almost 100%, He Loves Naughty Girls Not, and (one of my personal favorites) Diaries of a Distance. No, you will not find a post about her on here. Yes, I know she should be on here.... I've been slacking on this blog lately, but I promise to get on it A.S.A.P. Think of it as getting to know the author before you make the commitment to read her work! ^^ Heehee!!!

Thanks to all who have taken their time to think of questions to ask our favorite authors! I really would be asking the same ol' boring questions if it wasn't for all of your well thought out inquiries!! Well, I have to get some shut eye now before I head out to the J O B! See ya and...

Happy Reading!!!

About Us

This blog was created in efforts to give all Fanfickers the opportunity to find amazing fanfics to read. There are many talented fanfic authors out in the Fanfic world. Yet, they have not been discovered. They deserve the opportunity to be honored for their talent and to be loved by other Fanfickers. This blog is also here to help out those who are at their wits end with the bad recommendations that are given on various websites. I, Trufloetry, hereby dedicate the Best Fanfix of the Month blog to all who are tired of the poor grammar skills, improperly punctuated, run-on and /or fragmented sentences. And to top off the list of my pet peeves in a fic is the use of internet jargon within the story when the characters are not even instant messaging or text messaging!!! UGH!!! Anyway, I hope you all enjoy my recommendations. I accept recommendations from my readers with open arms. I am always willing to read stories recommended by my fellow fanfickers! Please feel free to leave some friendly comments or send me an email if you have any questions!

***************Revised May 9, 2011

For two years, this blog has serviced people from Malaysia, Canada, Peru, Iran, Russia, South Korea and so many more countries in helping them find the best fanfiction to read. Starting in the month of May, this blog will now be featuring not only fanfiction recommendations, but also drama reviews.

Upcoming Interviews

2011-03-22T18:58:00.002-04:00

Hey Fanfic Lovers!

There has been an awesome turn out from you fanfic enthusiasts for these upcoming interviews! First and foremost, I would like to thank all of you for your participation! I am no longer accepting questions for Skyelee21. I will be posting her interview within the next couple of days so I'll keep you all posted on that while I put the final touch on it. TOMORROW, MARCH 23,2011 @ 11:59 PM I will be NOT be accepting anymore questions for CON.TEMPLATE. I am doing this because there are a plethora of questions for her and a lot of them are repetitive. So if you feel as if you have a unique question send it in before its too late! All other authors, Miss Bouakham and Nuna501 (Gypsy) are still accepting questions!

Before I forget, I would like to remind those of you who haven't voted on my poll to do so soon! The poll will be closing in 8 days! So check it out.... it'll take less than 10 seconds to answer the poll!!

Once again thank you so very much for your participation! I wouldn't be able to pull this off successfully without your support!

Happy Reading!!!

Calling All Fanfickers!!!

2011-03-14T18:51:00.003-04:00

Helloo my fanfic family!!!

The Dynamic Trio

2011-03-07T21:22:00.002-05:00

Hey Fanfic Lovers!

Today,I will be doing something different with this blog post. No, it's still not the BFF of the Month, but I think this is the best thing to do now. I have been meaning to acknowledge the efforts of some authors on Soomp! that have truly gained my loyalty as their fan. I created this blog to show appreciation to the unrecognized authors in the cyber world. I believe that these authors deserve to be recognized for their ability to capture so much attention on an ever growing social networking site like Soomp! Their talents have surpassed, in my opinion, some of those who have been given publishing opportunities. And their imaginations have taken us to different parts of the world and have made a place in our hearts. In 2010, these authors made their mark on Soomp! as, what I like to call, the Dynamic Trio. Many of you have either read or heard of these authors through the grapevines. Stories, such as Banana Pancakes, Welcome to the Underworld, and The Tale of EverFire, have been the talk of most Soomp! fanfic lovers, including myself. Without further ado, I would like to finally announce 2010's Best Fanfic Authors:

Solangel, Nuna501, and Con.Template

For those of you who are not familiar with these authors.... WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN??? lol Just kidding! Anyway if you guys are unfamiliar with these authors, you can check them out on Soomp! I will provide the links at the end of this post! These three are by far my top 3 favorite authors point.blank.period. I have other favorites that I have mentioned throughout this blog, however, there are certain aspects about these authors that makes me favor them the most. All three of them communicate with their followers and respond to their messages and notes. They are very humble about their work. And their punctuation, grammar, and articulation skills are PERFECT! lol On behalf of all of the fans of the Dynamic Trio, I would like to say Thank You for gracing us with your talents and giving us the opportunity to read your stories!

Well, it's just about the time again for me to head out. Look out for my next post which will have the new links for the ShoeBox fictions that I have recommended in the past. And for those of you who haven't been aquainted with the Dynamic Trio, check out the links at the bottom of this post!

Happy Reading!!!

ShoeBox Blues

2011-03-01T23:16:00.002-05:00

Hey Fanfickers!

No this is not the BFF of the Month, but it is a reminder to those of you who are unaware of the status of the ShoeBox website. Some of the web addresses for the stories that I have recommended will be found on ShoeBox. However, the administrators of the website have yet to recommence activity on the site. In lamen's terms, the website has been shut down until further notice... Now, now, now... don't worry! I'll be back in a few days with web urls to where you can find the fics and immerse yourselves in the wonderful world of your own imaginations.

Until then...

Happy Reading!!!

Hellooooooooooo Fanfickers

2011-02-25T23:12:00.000-05:00

Heehee ^_^ (guilty face) hey Fanfickers! Yes I know it's been a while, but I honestly have had quite a busy schedule! School, work, and life has grabbed me by the shoulders and shaken me. Therefore, creating this seemingly lack of enthusiasm for my blog. However, you must not think such a horrible thing, for my love for fanfix is forever blooming, and I enjoy knowing that you all enjoy my recommendations! During my hiatus, I have been busy looking for different ways to better critique the fanfix that I am reading. I have also been watching some Korean and Japanese dramas in an effort to better understand some of the characters that the authors use in their stories. Of course, with K-dramas and J-dramas comes listening to K-pop and J-pop. I believe that as my knowledge about these two cultures grow, my credibility as a fanfic recommender will strengthen, also. Please be patient with me, my fellow fanfic lovers. I do all of this for you! Thanks for your support! I will not say when my next post will be. But, I am shooting for the near future! Please feel free to send me some more recommendations, send some more questions via formspring, and hit me up on my Twitter account @Trufloetryy. BTW... please check out the poll thats posted on the right side of the page!

Happy Reading!!

What do you think of the Fanfic "Love Bugged" by SolAngel?

2011-02-25T04:23:00.001-05:00

I love the fanfic! When she first started the story in '09 I never thought that it would be filled with so many twists and turns. I think one flaw might be that it has too many twists and turns. Idk if you are following the story and I don't want to spoil the story for anyone else, but there is a lot of info for readers to swallow with every update, which might take away from the message and moral of the story. However, I do believe if the story was condensed by just a "smidget" it would be perfect. Either way, I think that Solangel is doing a great job. I'm really grateful for having the opportunity to have read all of her work!

Ask me anything

What inspired you to make this beautiful blog?

2011-01-26T01:12:00.001-05:00

Well, I was tired of reading recommendations from readers that exaggerated on the magnificence of the stories that they read. I'm not J.K. Rowling or Stephen King, but I do believe that I am a pretty good writer and I have some pet peeves that many recommended stories trampled on. I knew that I couldn't be the only person with the same sentiments so I decided to give my own two cents to those who really wanted to read a good story. Thanks for the compliments! You're making me blush!!! :-D

Ask me anything

°•°•°Blast from the Past°•°•°

2010-11-05T18:54:00.001-04:00

Hello Fanfickers!!!

Yes, I'm back again with a Blast from the past. It's actually a story I just finished a day ago, but it was awarded Soompi's 2008 Fic of the Year award. It's author is still thriving very well with her award winning fics and has touched the hearts of fanfickers all over the world. This blog would not be complete if I did not recommend her stories to you! This month's Blast from the Past features:

*-*Banana Pancpakes *-*

By Solangel

Praises:
My thoughts and comments on this story can never describe it in the manner that it deserves. However, I will do my best to lure you all to read this masterpiece. The award winning author, Solangel, is a very blessed and talented person and she demonstrates that dutifully throughout Banana Pancakes.

Compared to her other stories, this story has sincerely taken me on such an emotional roller coaster that I had to put it down for a little while to recuperate. I felt somewhat nostalgic while reading this story. I'm not old, but I'm not in high school anymore. So while reading parts of this story I started to reminisce on my adolescent and drama filled years. Although this is a work of fiction, Solangel does well to give her audience a common ground in which we can truly get a sense of familiarity with the characters, settings, and plot. What I personally love about this story is that Solangel does well to tell us the character's story within her story. The readers are never left hanging and wondering where in the world did that come from??!!! Such a clear cut story perfectly created to entice anyone with a good imagination to indulge in.

Synopsis:

Kim SuVy... she could be described as just the typical high school rich girl growing up in Seoul, South Korea. In fact, one could very well say that she could be classified as the hole in the wall that no one sees. That's if she didn't have her BFF, partner in crime, and personal punching bag, also known as Lee Dongmin. That and the fact that she's an up and coming model with a golden heart and pretty gray eyes. SuVy and Dongmin have been friends for about 13 years of constant bickering and fighting. However, nothing has been able to shake their friendship until one day some two new kids transfer to their school. Unforseen drama erupts in the lives of SuVy and Dongmin to the extent that their friendship and their lives are placed on the line of survival or extinction. Challenges between a friendship that has prolonged literally through thick and thin will be tested. Will their friendship stand through times' changes? Or will they forever be Banana Pancakes? Want to find out what Banana Pancakes means? Well, read the story, silly!!!

Website: Banana Pancakes

Well, it's just about that time for me to part ways with you all. The BFF should be posted within the next couple of weeks. In the meantime...

Happy Reading!!!
