Those are a few reads I remember out of my head that I frequently revisited. Note there are multiple ways of using a thread in the story section, but most of them are either stories of multiple people interacting or diaries of characters. I mostly prefer the former to read, as any forum RP with multiple people will stretch into infinity if it even manages to end. To avoid those things, I often write the RP with people on Skype and then write sum-ups of it either in my character diary or transcribe the Skype stuff into a dialog-heavy story thread that has a beginning and an end.

My personal preference when it comes to content can be anything except torture, humiliation and gore for the sake of itself. In diary threads, I write down what happened ingame and link what happened in Skype-RP or Forum-RP, while my story threads are pretty much more about character development in general. I enjoy reading about how the characters of different people interact with each other. Friendship, love, betrayal, villainy. The very nice thing about Discovery is the fact that there are thousands of shades of grey and very rarely characters that are either full white or full black. We don't have the need for evil stereotypes. People who are evil or crazy for the sake of being evil or crazy are the most boring and unnecessary characters out there, similarly to pure hero characters. Those are the ones nobody really cares for. Character development involves conflicts, mistakes, accidents, failures and losses, the change of attitudes, corruption and depression, just to ensure characters will always have to solve a problem, to aim for something. That's my personal opinion.

There are many underrated pearls out there, but my favourite for last year was definitely "Gone.", a story about @Byron's character Elena Voigt, a young woman with blue hair who works as Freelancer, lost her unborn child as a result of alcoholic intoxication, severe stress from space combat and last but not least the mental pressure a certain evil person named Bassam Hussaini caused to her.
