When making this list, I decided to not include anything that isn't finished or has been discontinued and I also didn't include any actual Julie stories because I figure most of us and the people who regularly go to her site, already love her stuff lol
So saying all that and after looking through all the fics listed, here are my favorites.
Cabin Fever by Amy - Amy is an incredible writer. I'm sad she stopped writing fanfic but she's gone on to writing original fic and non fiction that's been published in many magazines etc.. I love Cabin Fever because of it's innocence. To be honest, I haven't read this one in a very long time, but I just remember when I did, I awed a lot. It's fun to read one of those every once in a while.
Don't Want to Lose you Now by Eboni - Eboni, another one who fell off the fanfic face of the earth. She's a great writer and this little drama shows why. It's not her best story but definitely worth checking out.
Garden by Louise - This story was told so cleverly. Louise has a great gift of getting into Kevin's head and overall it's just a beautiful read.
Scared of Reality by Susan - I remember getting a tingly feeling when I read the first chapter of this story. Not many stories do that to me, make me that excited to click and find out more but Susan did such a great job with building suspense in this one, that you couldn't help but want to know how it all plays out. Her villain is absolutely horrible (I mean that in a good way lol) and I do admit there were parts that I didn't enjoy in this one, but that's only because it was disturbing at times. It's not for people who love mushy gushy. This story is NOT mushy gushy lol
Come Together by Izzy and Cecilia - Probably the best how the BSB became a group story out there. It's not overly long and not a whole lot of drama. Just a cute and great take on how BSB became BSB. I think it's a classic that everyone needs to read.
Documentaries by Izzy - Izzy is just an awesome writer. She has an incredible talent for writing in first person and this story, told in AJ's POV about a documentary Nick is making, is probably one of my all time favorite stories ever written.
Finding Brotherhood by Mersey - Mersey is by far one of the most creative and original fanfic writer's out there. This story has a little bit of everything. If she doesn't draw you in with the beginning action sequences, then she'll draw you in because of her gift of writing the boys and their relationships to one another. She'll keep you in with the way her original character helps the boys see how much they mean to each other. READ IT!!
On the Outside by Amy - This one is awesome! You don't even have to be a fan of The Outsiders to love this one and even though most people on this forum don't really know me too well, the people that do will know what I say next says something lol I absolutely LOVE her female character in this one. Meaning if there was a whole chapter just about them I would actually read it and not skim through.
Where Can We Go From Here? - The quintessential bus crash story lol sounds so cliche and to be honest it is lmao but still probably the best bus crash story out there and told from all the boys points of view and never goes too over the top. This is another one I think every true BSB fanfic lover needs to read.
Swollen Issues two - I picked the middle one of the series because it gets to the heart of what this entire series is about. The interactions between the boys and how hard it is for all of them to come to terms with Nick's disease is great. Also you can tell how well researched it is.
So there ya go. Those are my picks. I hope you check some of them out!

I'm gonna finish up with the others today. I think this is fun, like I've said so many times before. Maybe you should start another thread, Julie. Asking people what thier favorite fan fics are, besides on this site, and why. And see if anyone can have some good ones that someone else hasn't read yet. LOL
I was going to do it, but I didn't want to steal your idea.

Okay, here's the hosted stories.
Hosted:
Always by Amy-This story is really good. Love story, again, pretty much. I seem to like those for some reason. I just really enjoyed this story. I thought it was written really well, and it was one of those stories that I just couldn't stop reading until I was finished. LOL
Avalon Hotel by Ginger- I don't think this story was every finished, but what's there is awesome. I loved reading this story. Perfect mix between dreams and reality. You can imagine yourself there. I really don't have much to say about all these stories becasue I haven't read them in a while, but what I can remember, they've been pretty good.
Cabin Fever by Amy-Like Mare said, this story will make you saw "Aww" a lot, but it's a good story and a great read, if you want to read one that you haven't read before.
I'll finish this later. I gotta run to town real qucik. I still have several stories left to say something about. LOL
