Ah...I forgot to metion that I'm also talking about WIPs. Some really great stories are floating around unarchived here, Lynn M's Haunting Eden being a case in point. Who knows, being listed might encourage the authors to finish them. Besides, I've seen some really great stories not receive so much as a nomination, and they tend to get overlooked. That's why I'm asking for personal recommendations, instead of just sticking to the Kerth lists.

That way we don't get into these lists that exclude so many writers and can be discouraging for those writers who are overlooked. [/QB]
I'm afraid I disagree. This is only an informal list, after all, and I'm sure some writers won't be offended at not being mentioned if they've already received some recognition at the Kerths. Anyway, this thread is about the personal opinions of those who happen upon it, and not an official consensus.
