The cold times are still out there...

Hey you guys!

We hope that everything is fine with you and that you have started well and healthy into the new year.
Over here in Europe the cold season has finally started and we have talked about the site and the people that are here to read and comment and that sometimes give us a very hard time.


There has not been a lot going on lately beside a long and not very polite discussion about someone who talked to many people and as many people didnt like the site and those people were hoping for more romantic fics and the fics are not romantic enough and some writers are really bad and write sad stuff. Putting it in a nutshell: more romance is required for some of you.

Now we need to ask you a question: What do you (our writers) need to come forward? 
Is it new ideas? Don't you find the time to write? Or is Westlife actually over for you?

We girls from the Staff have been pretty busy but if anyone has a story to share, romantic or not, dont hesitate to share it. We have agreed that every story is welcome here and we hope that comments like the ones we had here a couple of times didn't drive you away.
Like a book, a novel or a short story each of your stories should have highs and lows, that's what keeps a reader. The lifer can't just come home, make a baby and live happily ever after. We need romance as much as heartaches, suspense and tension. If you have a happy end to share, do so. As well as an unhappy ending or some drama.
As you may have realized, we have lables on every fic. Maybe we could add a little "Happy end- lable" for those of you who strictly need a happy ending. Others might be sad because they dont want it spoiled...



But still we have a little preview into the things that are to come for you. These are Neverland's 2016-Plans and we really hope for a few more writers and nice comments:

• C&R crossroads and roundabouts: We are currently working on four fics with four authors and it is a blast! We can't wait for the finished fics!
• Contest: The contest is still up and running! We had planned it until October 2015, but we only have one fic in by now so if you still want to participate on the time-travel-storyline, go ahead! We will postpone the submission date for another three months until the end of March 2016.
  So open you laptop and give it a go!
• Favourite Stories... we had once started talking about favourite stories. Maybe we can persuade some of the writers to tell us which of their own fics is their favourite and why?
  All readers are of course more than welcome to join in, let us know which of neverland's many fics is your favourite and why.
  But! And this is a big but: We dont want people to simply set up a clamour and go into rant against some writer or a story. So be nice and if you have nothing nice to say please have the decency not to insult the others 

Now have a great weekend!
Your Neverland Staff

 

Some more stuff to be discussed on the forum... or here?

Hey everyone!
Finally, it is unbelivable :) No phone, baby sick, car broke down again and my boss really thinks that I am able to do some work after nine, just because working for him is such a great pleasure. Well, car needs fixing so I will be working after nine... again.

But I wanted to talk about something else first.
Since we are out of fics at the moment (please keep writing, peeps, we need you!!), Monique had the idea to start a "Throwback Thursday" where we talk about our favourite fics or give others ideas, which stories to read next.
So... I will right now start on it and give you one of my favourite fics:
I was always completely taken by Lusia's fics. That is why I picked "For Tam". If you haven't read it yet, go to the fic list and do it right away. This woman knows what she's talking about and she certainly knows how to describe it!
Most of her stories are very sexual and they are definitely hot. So whenever I feel like being close to my favourite lifer, I open one of her fics and simply flip through them. Mostly they are not long, only a few pages or chapters and that is something I am by now looking for because I don't have much time to wait for the couple to meet, get to know each other, meet the friends, the family and the neighbours cat. Lusia is right there, bam! :) Exactly what I need sometimes. I am an Espresso-Person, small amounts, quick downing, sweet taste and off I go ;)

So, now let us know, which story or author is your favourite? We got so many and they are worth a read, so give us a little wink and tell us, which should be our next from your point of view?
I will start a little topic on the forum for this, join me there!

Cheers, I am on the forum, waiting :) maybe the baby will let me do something for once!
Noa

To make finding the story even easier for you guys, here's a link :)

For Tam by Lusia


Another little *EDIT*
Shadows by Steffi

Supposed to be amazing as well. Thanks for mentioning it on the forum for our Throwback Thursday, Nicolola! It starts with the main character in her room & your favourite lifer breaks in (sort of). He's a vampire & your brother & his men are hunting him. They end up in a secret & very steamy relationship...
mmmm, re-read and speak up! :) which is your favourite fic?


*Little sunday-morning-edit*
Against all Christmas Odds by Kara

Read and enjoy, as Jess said, it definitely is a re-reader

Thanks for mentioning it, Kara :) looks like we might soon need  a new post for all those fics :)
Peeps, it is not Throwback-Thursday yet, but I really think you should re-read this!
