work got in the way of ranking the FDO, can we do something about the whole work thing when the FDO is in charge?

Sample size is still too small for validity, but I think it's neat nonetheless.

It was hard to rank the Bloodcast seasons because they include bits of The Crypt and Kissyman and also because I don't believe I've listened to them all. I do love The Passenger and Snipe Hunt but it's hard to judge the bloodcast seasons as one piece of work.

I think Earthcore would've ranked higher if we'd seen Mt. Fitzroy...

...not that I'm trying to start up the earthcore fight again, I just think it's been a while.

Molly McButters is my Homeboy!

I think it's hard for junkies to feel a connection to that story because it's been so long since it was released.  The driving force in my ranking was what initially made me a Junkie and then the stories that have kept me engaged.  For me, Ancestor and EarthCore resonated with the love I had for books like Jurassic Park and eased me into the horror genre.

....and decided that they'd list certain stories from the Bloodcasts on their own. What that did vote wise was put the relevant Bloodcast Season in that slot.

----------------------------------------------------------

Rank the FDO's stories, innit? How can you compare a short story like The Passenger to a novel like Contagious? They're in completely different categories, which is why I broke mine up to compare apples to apples.

Almost everyone is ranking the Bloodcasts as dead last. Why? Cuz they're not novels, apparently. Hats off to I AM, who put his favorite story above the novels.

It's almost like we were asked "What's your favorite song by this artist?" and then presented with a comprehensive list of Albums, EPs and singles.

Now with that said, these rankings do not mean that I did not thoroughly enjoy each story. Here are my reasons for the rankings.  I am somewhat claustrophobic and don't like small spaces or the feeling of being trapped. That and the Idea of being trapped underground in the dark in sometimes tight places with Rocktopi and Silver bugs running around puts Earthcore at the top for me.

The others I would have to rank, for the most part, by character attachment (I cant think of a better way to phrase it). I also count Infected and Contagious as one ranking even though they are two separate novels.  I guess because I think of Contagious as a continuation of the Infected, Perry's, story.

interesting rationale for infected/contagious. makes good sense. I think the stories are on an even caliber to each other as well. so the tie makes sense.
