I totally agree. There actually isn't really an excuse. But I think that's why I'm that way, as well. I'm not too good with banners, and even with tutorials it's just like O_O, but I've always made my own layouts and they're usually really good. Not to be snoody or anything, I just feel like I do some good work. xD. Because I'm that way with other people's work, I guess that's why I'm so picky and obsessive when it comes to my own stuff. Of course, when it comes to comment swap, I'll read whatever they give to me because you can't move on otherwise, ya know? It's sometimes aggravating, but I get over it and read what I have to in order to write a detailed comment.
I'm glad I could be of help! Jo is actually a name I like, too; whether it be short for Joanna or Johanna. Both are very pretty. ^_^. I've been attracted to the name Jo ever since the second season of Supernatural, when the character of Jo was introduced. Her full name was Joanna Beth Harvelle, and the first and middle just paired so well together that it made me want to use it in one of my own stories That's never really worked out and I doubt it will in the future, so if you choose to use it (Joanna or Johanna), I'm glad it'll be paired with a great story!
No problem! It's definitely one of my favorites. ^_^. I mean, considering the fact that I barely read stories on this site anymore. I feel like such a snob because it's like...I kinda judge the stories I read by the quality of the layout/banner. I understand not everyone can make banners and stuff (like myself, for instance) but when it comes to the layout in general, if it's not really nice, I don't read it. xD. I know, I sound mean, but I can't help it! Yours is one of the one's where I love the story, I love the layout, and I love the banner; so it's one of my favorites all around. <3
And I thought she didn't have a name yet. Haha. I was going to say so, but then I was like, "What if I missed her name somewhere in there and make myself sound like a dork?" Lmao. She sounds like she'd be a Rose (like the main character from Vampire Academy) or like...something that has a shortened version; Sam (Samantha), Chris/Kris (Kristin, Kristina/Christina, etc), Jo (Joanna/Johanna), Mitchie (Michelle). You get what I mean. I'm just throwing some suggestions out there in case you didn't already think of something. I'm sure whatever it turns out to be will be great, though! :)
Well, that's good you got to see the sneak preview! :)
Ahhhh, I thought so! Andrew Lincoln is quite the attractive man, so I can definitely see why he's your favorite. Daryl is mine. I've been a Norman Reedus fan since he was in Mimic, and then when I saw him in Boondock Saints, I just totally fell in love. xD. But I do like Rick a lot. He's such a good leader, and when people try to argue with what he says and his decision making tactics, I just wanna jump in the tv and be like, "Bitch, he's kept you alive this long!" Haha. I get way too into it sometimes.
ANYWAY. Since I now know it's going to involve an OFC, I'm really interested to see how you develop the relationships between everyone, especially if Carl is going to be in the picture and all. I'm super excited. ^_^.
How could I forget your stories? There was a marathon of Walking Dead on this past weekend, and I was immediately reminded about it, considering the second season finale episode is named Beside the Dying Fire. Haha. ^_^. I quite love the story, honestly, and I can't wait to see where you go with it!
I just have oneee question, though; is it a Rick love story? I'm just curious since the banner features him and all. Like, a Rick/OFC love story?
I figure, like in some cases with the comment-swap, it wasn't her cup of tea, or the genre she usually reads. Which is totally fine, but I try my best when I get dealt a "bad card."
Birdie is a work that I am aiming to finish and publish one day, along with the two books that will follow it. :) Thank you for your words of encouragement :) Thank you for reccing <3
thnks so much for the comment on Jump For Me, it means a lot. I wasn't thinking about it originally but..I might consider continuing..I'll let you know if I do :3
Ah, thank you for the comment(: And yes, I was kind of inspired the Ellen Hopkins books. ^.^ And also, thanks for the note on typos, could you point out some? I always do the whole thing typed up in Word (with spell check on and all) and sometimes the spelling between USA and Australia on some words are different. Hm. But thank you. :)
