How do you rank the FDO's stories?

Don't give me any of that nonsense about they are all equally good. We all enjoy some more than others. Yes, we all enjoy most of them more than any other author. I'll give you that. So here's a list of the eleven books to date: (The number in front of the title represents a weighted score [higher=better] of Junkie votes through 4-22-10 @ 0045 AZ time)

  • [108] The Rookie
  • [105] Nocturnal
  • [93] Ancestor
  • [86] Earthcore
  • [84] Infected
  • [81] Contagious
  • [58] The Crypt Book One
  • [54] Title Fight
  • [37] Kissyman & The Gentleman
  • [36] Bloodcast Season Two
  • [20] Bloodcast Season One

What do you think Junkies? Which are the best? Which are the worst? Do you listen to some more than others? Are there some you've only listened to once?

Please list your favorites in descending order in your comment. I'll tabulate the votes and we can see what the Junkies opinion is as a group

And even though RohiPnol's a bastard for making me create this topic, thanks for the inspiration. Gotta love the bloke across the pond. Hope to meet him in Vegas come Junkie*Con.

Re: How do you rank the FDO's stories?

It seems that their ratings are based on the average of marks out of 5 that each reader gave each book and then the highest average is the favorite (your american spell checker is fucking with my head) (it might be my american spell checker tbh but it still messes with me)

Re: How do you rank the FDO's stories?

Dude, it's not like I'm anyone special.

I'm just another Junkie with too much time on his hands so he comes over and amasses CHs like everyone else. Yeah, I help Scott out, as does A, Gmork, and Pulsar. That doesn't mean I can demand people do shit. It's all about asking nicely, remember. I simply had to make a call on the rules. So I guess I did have some authority there.

Dammit. I hate when I end up taking the other person's side by the end of what I'm writing. They taught me essay writing too well in school. The "always think of the other point of view" thing.

But my point was that you're perfectly free to ask people to re-write their entries. I'm sure they would accomodate you, even if they did give you a bit of lip. Siglerism is kind of based on giving one another shit, so that's to be expected.

    We Junkies are an amenable bunch. We tend to seem like a disparate crowd, but we're more like a family. We give each other crap all the time, but we also pull together and help one another out when it's needed. Then we go back to our verbal bashing of one another.

    Re: How do you rank the FDO's stories?

    A system like that is built to be applicable on a broad scale. We are zeroing in one one author with a finite number of titles. In order to get a true gauge of what people think, you have to tell them to compare the titles head to head.

    Seriously, how many people here would give any of their top five less than five stars? Top seven? See what I mean? Just doesn't work for what we want.

    Re: How do you rank the FDO's stories?

    current ranking favorite to "least favorite" (which still makes it better than most other published work out there):

    1. The Rookie
    2. Nocturnal
    3. Contagious
    4. Title fight
    5. Earthcore
    6. Ancestor
    7. the Crypt part 1
    8. Kissyman and the Gentlemen
    9. Infected

    I won't rank the bloodcast seasons because I'm not sure how they fit in with the other titles

    However, I can assure you I didn't give them all a 5 stars.  I've been trying to find the rank page and as I recall, from that Earthcore was in the lead.
