New Reading List out now. The best of all fandoms in one list.

Hello lovelies, so I've gotten this question a couple of times and yes, the chapters are being moved around. I order them based off of their ranking in my top list. So as I publish new chapters the list and the chapter order might change as I am tweaking things the way I want them to be finalized.

I want to be clear about another thing regarding my rankings in the list. The placement in the top list of the corresponding fandom is based SOLELY on the FIRST book. I read the first book, rank them, THEN read the sequels for a more rounded review. I do not base my top lists off of how great a sequel is. You shouldn't have to rely on a sequel to make your first book more interesting.

I have finally found a way to help make sure the authors of the stories I'm reviewing actually see my reviews and get my gushing reviews of how much I love their stories. I remember reading some of these stories for the first time in a really dark place. These fanfiction stories were a beam of light in an otherwise dark room of gloom. I can't believe I finally get to give back even a piece of this joy to the people who made it possible to obsess over and enjoy their art!
          
          I'm literally crying. I'm so happy to be able to finally share the stories that make me shriek with excitement, squeal with glee, and smile with joy! Thank you! Thank you all! (Especially you @BubblyYork

Alright, attention all twilight fans... there is a difference between a vampiric mate and a blood singer. One is a love to last eternity, the latter is a fancy word for a really appealing walking blood bag. Let's clear up this confusion now. Thanks for comin to my ted talk.

@ash_to_beauty they do! I once left a comment on a story explaining the difference and had my head bitten off

@BubblyYork FINALLY! Thank you, someone who agrees! I usually have Twilighters up in arms about this!

@ash_to_beauty THANK YOU! I'm so tired of people getting these two things mixed up. They definitely do not mean the same thing

Alright, so to my suprise none of the authors I have posted about have noted this, but even so it is important to me. So I haven't been able to find a more efficient way to credit the authors or link the stories I'm reviewing and recommending. I want something that the reader can simply click on and go read it themselves, but wattpad is being ridiculously ornery and difficult. The links from my phone are way too long and don't hyperlink, so you'd have to copy and paste, which isn't efficient. The links, when done from my laptop, are shorter but still not hyperlinked, being easier to copy and paste still.
          
          So as I try to find the best way to link these wonderful stories and credit their wonderful authors, please be patient. I'm trying to refrain from publishing until I find a proper way. I think I have at least 3 GMW fanfics ready to go in my drafts, just needing proper credit to author or a link of some kind.

@ash_to_beauty you can dedicate chapters to people after you publish them. There should be a drop down menu on the right that has options like time period etc

@BubblyYork I'm using the @ idea, what do you mean by dedication?

@ash_to_beauty also if you do the @ in the chapter with the username like we use here, it should create a link

Not surprised at the plethora of unfinished Hunger Games fics, but I did manage to find a few really great ones, not that they are not without issues, but I'm a seasoned hawk for tiny crap that no one else probably cares about, like grammar and spelling. 
          
          Done with my list for Hunger Games! Enjoy!

thanks for adding my story to your reading list Xx

@daydreamdalliances Promises, right? Well, you made a really interesting, albeit sad story...I couldn't resist when I saw Cato in the title. I mean, really, how many fics are on here involving Cato and not revolving around Finnick! You have a beautifully heartbreaking story! Thank you!

Not gonna lie, I was pretty disappointed, but not shocked, at the lack of really great Descendants fanfictions. With the target audience being so young, I'm really shocked to have found one really amazing fanfiction called MJ Frost. All the others on my "Top 10 Descendants" list are really just others I enjoyed as okay fics, but not really top 10 material by any means. With that said, I'm done with the Descendants fandom. Onto the Hunger Games & then Divergent. Neither of these should take an extremely substantial or extensive amount of time! Enjoy the Descendants fics!
