Best of the busts: May 2016

Can you believe it? It's June already! It's time to have a look at last months posts and how you liked them. With our five star rating system you can leave your feedback at the bottom of each post, rating it on a scale from awful (1 star) to excellent (5 stars).

I encourage you to use that feature and rate the posts. It helps me find out what you like and enables me to give you more of the same. In addition, you can always leave a comment or send me an email (alex@ballbustingboys.org) - I really appreciate your feedback!

Now let's have a look at last month's posts. If you haven't read every single one of them you might want to check out one of the top picks...

The three top rated stories of May 2016:

Mean machines: Sackwrecker Deluxe

average rating: 4.60 (25 votes)

Family affairs: Daddy's boy

average rating: 4.39 (33 votes)

Happy feet (Pat meets Logan and Ben)

Kiss or kick (2): 4.13 (8 votes)

Honorable mention (for posts that don't fall into either category):
Final poll: Special Guest Star 5: 4.71 (7 votes)
It's a pretty interesting race between Nick Jonas, Justin Bieber and the team of Grant Gustin and Stephen Amell ("Flash vs. Arrow Edition"). First, Justin lead the field for a couple of days, then Grant and Stephen took over for a short time. Now Nick is leading Justin by 3 percentage points. I'm pretty sure it's not over, yet...

I have received some awesome suggestions so far - keep them coming! :-))

My personal pick:
Daddy's boy. I wrote it together with our reader Cal, and we had a great time writing it. I always enjoy collaborations, and this one was no exception. I hope we'll work together on a new story in the future!

Another story I want to mention is Who needs two? (Tyler meets Ben), which seems to be one of the more controversial pieces on this blog. There have been a couple of very favorable comments but the rating is split: The average vote is 3.33 (30 votes) - but none of you rated it "average" (3 stars). In fact, it got 12 "excellent" votes (5 stars) and 10 "awful" votes (1 star), indicating that some of you hated the story and some of you loved it. Very interesting.

And what's your personal pick?
