2: Fat Farm by Lazlo Zalezac Character driven story with strong, interesting characters but also contains some interesting ideas
3: The Ghosts of Christmas Past by Don Lockwood When it comes to sappy romance, nobody does it better than Don. Of Don's sappy romances, this is the most powerful of them all. This story is Great Art.
4: I Won't Hurry You by Cat5 It's part romance, part spy thriller. It's interesting and well done. What more can you ask for?
5: Kelly by The Night Hawk I don't generally recommend stories in progress, but this one is just too good to pass up. Interesting characters and actual plot (gasp!) combine to make this a classic.
11: Stacie by Will Bailey You just have to love these people - and the good guys win.
12: Thoughts, Sensations and Emotions by Ms. Friday It is hard to know whether this is SF or fantasy, but for stories with psionics, it is exceptional. The main character is the foundation and the plot built from her runs the gamut of both pace and emotion.
