Well, I admit it, I play favorites. That's not to say that I don't read stories by new writers, I do... all the time, but these are the ones that have stuck in my mind, the ones I've gone back and reread time and again, and the ones that I simply was drawn to for inexplicable reasons. I just thought you might like them as well.
