    So, first story on the year on the tail end of April. Suppose I’m going to be a little slow on stories this year as compared to last year. But no matter.

    The Absolute Best of Heartstrings - Shelf 1

    Hiya, lovely peeps!

    I love the written word. I love books and fanficiton and blogs; I just love reading in general. When I first picked up reading in 2016, I expected stories to be just that - stories. There’s a plot, characters do this and that, reach climax and end plot. I didn’t know that ‘themes’ and ‘depth’ and ‘feels’ were ever in those stories.

    I’ve never been glad to more wrong.

New Library · 7:26pm Jan 7th, 2022

Hiya, lovely peeps!

New year, new library.

So in mid-December I was browsing through my libraries, trying to find a story that I wanted to re-read, and that’s when I realized that the three libraries I had (Honest Favorites, Happy Upvotes, and Most Wonderful Stories) were a little too full. So I decided to break it down into several genres.

Then I started reading Jinglemas stories around the end of December. And then I got a sudden craving for Anon-a-Miss stories. So I created two new bookshelves for those! I decided to arrange the bookshelves by color, for aesthetic. The genre bookshelves have the colors of their tags.

Here’s a breakdown of my new shelves.

  • Tracked - Those are the incomplete stories that I’m following. Pretty self-explanatory.

    Special shout-out: The Albinocorn’s Spectacular Seven and FanOfMostEverything’s Space Time-Out.

  • Favorite Adventures - Adventure isn’t really something I read often, but every once in a while, I’ll find something I truly enjoy.

    Special shout-out: TwiShine45’s The Princess’ Library and Rambling Writer’s The Amulet Job.

  • Favorite SoL - Now that’s a genre I really like. But honestly, these are just for the stories where no other genre would fit. This shelf mostly contains short, sweet fluff. And the occasional tear.

    Special shout-out: sonicfan05’s ”My Office. NOW!” and ArgonMatrix’s Friendship Bewitched.

  • Heartstrings - How do I describe this shelf? It’s those stories that just pulled at my heartstrings. Where I had to stop and think, ‘Wow. What a work of art.’ These stories are just on another level and were created by the next generation of literary geniuses.

    Special shout-out: Monochromatic’s The Choices We Make, Minty Sundae’s Paroled and _NAME_’s A Day in the Life of Average Statistic.

  • Favorite Tear-jerkers: - Most, if not all, the stories in this shelf have made me shed a tear. Some have even made stop so I could bawl my eyes out.

    Special shout-out: TCC56’s Tender Loving Care and n3k1dsk1llz’s The Last Party.

  • Best of Jinglemas - A completely new shelf, created just last week. With the influx of holiday stories thanks to Christmas and Jinglemas 2021, I wanted to compile my favorites here.

    Special shout-out: GaPJaxie’s Twilight and Spike Hide a Body and Aragon’s Friendly Fire.

  • Favorite Mysteries - I’m always on the hunt for a good mystery. Don’t know what it is about the genre, but I just love detectives and clues and investigations and crime-solving and thrillers... You get the idea.

    Special shout-out: Dewdrops on the Grass’ Danganronpa: In Harmony’s Wake and RB_’s Who-dunce-it?

  • Favorite Dramas - So this is a genre l find myself liking more and more, with each read story. Slowly starting to become a favorite.

    Special shout-out: Bookish Delight’s In Your Corner and deapansnarker’s A Mother’s ‘Love’.

  • Contributions - Ever since I created my account, I made it clear that I was willing to help out anyone who asked for it. I mostly draw cover arts, but I also dab in the occasional editing.

    Special shout-out: Element of Malice’s It’s NOT CoNtAgIoUs! (cover art) and Gifts from a friend (editing).

  • Favorite Romances - Ah, love. An indescribable feeling, really. I never thought I’d like romance as much as I do, but I really like romance. Nailing a love story is hard, but if you do it well, it’s totally rewarding.

    Special shout-out: CommissarAJ’s The Memories We Share and FoolAmongTheStars’s For Better or For Worse.

  • New Rainbooms - This bookshelf is exclusively mine. Two years ago, in May 2020, I wrote my first story, a one-shot. And then in March 2021, I wrote a second one-shot. And that’s when I realized those two stories have one thing in common. So I decided to create a continuity.

    Stories in this series (so far): Uz Naimat’s How to Host a Party and Pinkie’s Pies.

  • Later - Also self-explanatory. This is my to-be-read-later list. The goal is to have as little stories in there as possible. You’ll notice that most of the time, it’ll be at zero. As it should be.
  • Best of Anon-a-Miss - My newest shelf, created today. Let’s all face the simple truth: whether you like the comic or not, Anon-a-miss is a genre in and of itself. It didn’t feel fair to put the stories in any other shelf, so this one was born.

    Special shout-out: SamRose’s Role Reversal and Wanderer D’s ”Anon-a-Miss” Kills Her Accusers.

  • Favorite Comedies - By and large my favorite genre. Comedy and humor is what I live for. Words cannot describe how much I adore this genre. (You can still imagine, given the 64 stories in the shelf.)

    Special shout-out: Coroner the lesser’s You’ve Got Debt, Rambling Writer’s Best Hell Ever, InsertAuthorHere’s A Taste of Meat and Aragon’s A Hell of a Time.
