Before I get to your story, I would just like to say that I absolutely love your comment on 635798! Thank you so much for the kind words! If you were next to me I would hug you but you're not so these will have to do:
Still co-judging? I sent someone their score, but if you still are interested, then please score the entry "A Girl Who" and send me the score you give it, based on what I sent you, send me your final score, and I will average them out! You just need to tell me if you still are by Wednesday at the latest.
Thank you so much! It means a lot that you would say that! This story is kinda my baby. I've gotten several requests for a sequel...Should I go for it? It would probably be full length... c;
well i can't really answer that without giving away a bunch of spoilers, but i can tell you that what will happen will (hopefully) be free of cliches in your eyes. so if that's your fear, i'll try to avoid it as much as possible. i can't tell you what will happen, but i can tell you it won't be your basic storyline. hope that makes you feel better about it.
Thanks for the comment, it made me grin like a crazylady. c: I've been feeling less and less of the dreaded writer's block over the last couple days and hopefully will have time to get more chapters out within the next couple weeks since I'm on break and all that jazz. I seriously appreciate the feedback though, stuff like that is what keeps me writing. :D And I'm glad you don't think my descriptions as of late weren't lacking, I was worried they weren't as 'impressive' as they were before. I guess it is about trying to find a nice balance of dialogue and description.
No problem, I really do enjoy the storyline (and I have the biggest crush on Billie Joe Armstrong, so that helps a bit, haha) and I try to always leave really good comments on stuff. I've been the same lately, so don't worry. I look forward to the next chapter then! :)
Winners for the poetry section for my pre-writes contest have been posted. If you have won, I want to say conrgrats. If you did not place, I'm very sorry, it isn't that your poem wasn't good, but there could only be 3 winners. So go check it out and if you have one, pm or comment to claim your prizes! Best of luck!
hi, thanks for your comment on A Better Man! I agree with you on the descriptive thing, but sometimes I want to leave it open to ambiguity, so readers don't have to follow my ideas on the characters, but on settings I'll definitely give it a go. On making the French stand out, I deliberately left it as the other text so it wouldn't - I wanted little phrases and words to flow naturally into Aurore's speech and not stand out on the page (and thus be distracting or need to be read a few times to get over the natural stress that italics seem to suggest) but I did think about putting them in italics for a long time before even posting. It seemed more natural and the French less noticeable if they were as the rest of the rest of the text, and normalising her use of French language, especially in emotional situations, was what I was going for. Thanks again! :D
I'm not sure you realize how happy I am that this comment made you this happy!! Honestly, I know I shouldn't be saying this, but you poem is going to be nearly imposisble to beat. Just saying, I'll make sure to post the winners for the poetry section really soon! I think you are so talented! And Gah! I adore you!
