Zeoanne Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Question on Best Of Nifty... on the A B C D etc. column, what do the Y N and ok mean? I've looked on that page for an explanation but there is none, all I can figure out is that it might be Yes, No, OK? if so, how do you do a review? TIA for the help!!

'N' means No - not recommended Hope this helps! 1
Zeoanne Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 An absolute must read is John Walsh's Fraternity Memoirs: Fraternity Memoirs Mark, do you know of any place where that story might be completed? I went to look and it has not been updated since Dec. 2003. When I first started reading stories little did I know to look at the dates or check the last chapter to see if it was completed, recently updated or simply abandoned/on hiatus. I don't know how many stories I've read where they were not updated for years so I really don't like getting caught up in a story I am really enjoying then be left out without an ending. Sometimes I just have to make an imaginary/my own ending for my own satisfaction! But it's still upsetting nonetheless!

I've looked on that page for an explanation but there is none, all I can figure out is that it might be Yes, No, OK? if so, how do you do a review? TIA for the help!! There are a set of reviewers for the Best of Nifty list. They are anonymous (hence the letters, rather than names), but if you find a reviewer whose taste agrees with you, you can can see what else they have recommended. The Y, N, ok indicates if the reviewer thought the story should be in the Best of Nifty list. Y means Yes , N means No , and ok means that the story was okay, but maybe not good enough for the Best of Nifty list.

There's a thread on here where I explained it (if I get energetic I'll go find it and post the link). But even as an incomplete story, it's great.

Wynter Posted November 11, 2009 Author Posted November 11, 2009 Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who posted suggestions. It took a while but I've tried quite a few of them and I'm now in love with Libby Drew. Her writing is great; clever plots, detailed characters and generally realistic story lines with just the right splash of drama. I tried to stick to finished stories but Truth in Advertising was way too good to pass up. Cheers, Wynter
magical_jen Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Any story from Matthew Haldeman-Time are pretty good as well. He has two websites. http://www.matthewhaldemantime.com/ and http://matthewtime.com/rpspage.html I would suggest checking out the first link before the second one, there are a while bunch of stories posted under shorts as well as an ongoing series. Happy reading. Cheers, Jen
glomph Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 An entertaining and amusing story at Nifty is "Snaked" in the High School section, I believe.
