Welcome to this new, dynamic and exciting forum, dedicated as a Showcase for members of the forums. Here, certain stories have been nominated by our Moderating team that are of particular excellence in one manner or another. Stories are here for any number of reasons... whether it is excellence in dialogue, a very creative story, incredibly romantic, very funny, original characters... the list is endless. Stories must be seconded by another Moderator and approved by one of our Administrators.

Here are a few notes about this Showcase:

1) Stories are limited to one per author in the Showcase at one time, although we may rotate them if other stories by that author are suggested.
2) Only stories by members in good standing will be considered and maintained. Once an author has a story in the Showcase, they will remain represented.
3) The Showcase will be visible to non-members.
4) An introduction on why this story was nominated is included at the beginning of each story.
5) This forum is read-only. Stories are presented uninterrupted, in alphabetical order for your enjoyment.
6) At the end of each story is a link to the author's archives on our site and their other stories.
7) There is no limit to the number of stories in the Showcase.
8) Challenge stories will not be considered... they have already been given the attention of the membership through voting. The Showcase is for ALL other categories, STFBEYE, Other shows, original fiction, poetry and so on.

Think of visiting a University. When you enter the main building, there will be a Showcase with items of merit presented as a sampling of some of the work that has taken place there. That is the purpose and the desire of the Showcase forum. We now present to you in uninterrupted form... the stories in our Showcase... enjoy!

-The Showcase Team.
