Please remember that the ratings and the descriptions in this spreadsheet are completely and entirely my own BIASED OPINIONS. They are based on my personal tastes and literary preferences and are unique to me.  The opinions written are not meant to annoy, offend, irk or totally honk off anyone least of all the absolutely wonderful people who are brave enough to put the products of their muse out there for all of us to see.   You’re all better and braver than I.     H/C = Hurt/Comfort      A story where one or both characters are hurt (often severely) and the other comforts and cares for them. Usually used as a vehicle for the characters to declare their feelings to each other.
Nuff said!!!  
  FT = First Time - A story depicting the first sexual encounter (as apposed to just Romance or declaration) between the main characters. In Xena Fic it often infers that one of the pairing is a virgin, but in other fanfic it usually just means the first encounter of the main pairing.
 
RATINGS LEGENDS   pov = point of view - To denote the person from who's perspective the story is being told, either in the first person by the character themself, or more rarely from an Omniscient narrator third person.
Note about colours, the only meaning behind the pink and purple shading is to make the 4 and 5 star stories stand out in the list. If a title has no description listed it means I have the story but haven’t read it yet.  I only started noting websites in 03/09 so a lot are missing, but I do have all the stories in word documents on my computer.   AU = Alternate Universe - the term of course for a range of stories ranging from true alternate or mirror universes where things aren't quite the same as in the accepted Trek cannon (both the show and fanfiction cannon) but our favourite characters exist there, all the way to stories that significantly diverge from somewhere in the middle of the TV series' storyline.
 
  Drabble = a very short fiction, anywhere from a paragraph to 2-3 pages in length.
# A hash mark or a series of them means I really didn’t like the story for any number of reasons.  
  Uber = Transfering the characters from the Voyager storyline to another time in history completley. Often they are given different or only vaguely similar names, but you can tell who they are meant to be by the familiar characterisation.
/                 A stroke means I’ve read the story but it didn’t do anything for me, but I can tick it of my list as read.  
  PWP = Plot What Plot? - Denotes stories which are basically just written for the hot sex scene with no story or plot needed or used. They're usually not very long, heheh.
* A single star is means the story was a bit above average and is also often given to Drabbles because of their brevity.  
  AQ = Alpha Quadrant
** Two stars means that the story was definitely above average and that it contained at least one of the following elements:   DQ = Delta Quadrant
It’s well written  
It has a good or interesting storyline  
It has good characterisation of J and 7  
 
*** Three stars means that the story is worth re-reading and it contained at least two of the above elements:  
 
**** Four stars means the story is definitely worth re-reading and recommending to others and contained all of the above elements.  
 
***** Five stars means the story is one of my all time favourites it has all the elements listed above and a little something more, that little extra, indefinable something that completely calls to me.  It can be something completely different each time, but the story just begs to be re-read over and over again. <BG>
