Honestly, no one has given me any bad feedback or constructive criticism on my stories. It has nothing to do with that. Also I mentioned, I have no problem with people giving constructive criticism as long as it's not JUST criticism, meaning they say harsh things and not just helpful comments to better the writing. There's a difference. I'm not mad at you or anyone for speaking their mind, I just see several people talking trash about other people's writing just because it's not up to parr with what they think it should be. That's all.
You're entered into my contest, [url=http://www.mibba.com/Forums/Topic/177211/Sing-me-something-soft-Songfic-contest/]Sing me something soft [Songfic contest][/url[ on here and I was wondering - have you picked your song yet? I could really do with knowing which of the five songs is the one you'll be writing about.
Thank you so much for the a-fucking-mazing comment on Seven Minutes. I don't know whether to shed tears of joy or give you a virtual hug. I'll give you a virtual hug anyway *insert virtual hug here*
Oh, no, no, no, don't feel bad! What I meant was that I have to admit that the piece itself wasn't good, compared to my fan-fictions. It's more like a writing practise for me since I haven't ventured into original fiction as of yet (that was my first, hee).
So no worries, I didn't take it to heart. I actually like critism as I know what readers think and I'm taking in all those pointers which the Knight had given me.
Honestly, you're really nice! No hard feelings, okay?
Thanks for taking time to comment and judge on my story 'Splinter In My Eye'. You're nice
I've been in several contests and I don't usually get any replies from them and that made me go I really appreciate this, eventhough I know my story isn't good :p
Right, I'm the Jason author for Jason's Game, and while I appreciate that people say that his scenes are very good, that actually scares me a little bit... xD But thank you. Very much.
As for the issues people have with our Hayley character, I HAVE been through that and I am fine now. People have different reactions and recovery times. It just depends on what kind of person you are. We both collaborated on it before writing it and agreed. People can be that strong, and I HAVE done EXTENSIVE research on it, and some people have a habit of just completely blocking out the past. Some just move on. Not to mention this is a fictional story. But I understand what you're saying. A lot of people don't move on that quickly. >.< I just realized how long I'm going on. Sorry, I'm not trying to be rude.
I really really appreciate your comment and your honest feedback (I hate it when people just say "Oh! Keep up the good work!"). Did you read the whole story?
Thanks for your help. If it doesn't work, it's not the end of the world. I don't NEED it or anything, but I've seen people link things in the middle of stories before. :)
Thank you much for gourd comment. I'm flattered Glad you like it. I WILL return the favor tonight. Soon. I'm still returning others comments so I will get to yours asap. Just telling you do you won't think I bailed (:
Hi and thank you for your comment. I really appreciate your thoughts on the story.
I thought the sentence zombie apocalypse sounds funnier to me. My friend who helped me to beta had a giggle when she read that. I use the 'new' P!ATD which consists of Brendon, Spencer, Ian and Dallon. Don't worry, I'm not really familiar with Panic! either. Well, maybe except for Brendon.
I'm sorry if the story is fast-paced. I was intending to make it slightly longer, but I was in a rush to submit it for a contest. Blame it on my procrastination...
I had to put the line breaks there as I want to signify the time lapse thingie, since I wasn't going into details. I'll probably change the divider to a more simpler 'xxxxx' or something between the lines. Hope it didn't distract too much of your attention though.
Well, it really depends on the person though, I guess... Some people get so depressed and desperate that they just snap, they lose control- bam, they're gone. But others linger upon it, think it over and realize that yeah, there really is no point in life after all. I mean, we're all gonna die someday. So they plan it, and then they go along with their plan. The saddest thing is that somehow, or at least as far as I know, suicide always ends up as the better side of the argument...
I think the scary-calm thing is a good point you used, but maybe you could've added more emotion elsewhere? Maybe you could keep her stoic and have Brandon be more desperate/panicked, so there's an obvious contrast between the two of them. Personally I might still make Izzy more snappy, though; the whole '*scoffs* what the hell do you know?' attitude. Like... she's completely sure of what she's doing, sadly enough, and Brandon's trying to convince her out of it but to no avail, he really can't actually win the argument against her. Again, just my personal opinion though!
And haha, you're more than welcome. :) And lol, true that! Hahah. I almost forgot that technically they were in the same room (which probably had a table) at one point during the conversation. :p
Anyway, good luck revising it and for the contest! :3
