I'm on chapter five of Carmen and I love it, I looove love love it. I had a pretty similar experience my sophomore year, so I'm excited to see how it all plays out!
No problem, I sincerely love and admire your writing. I just read the first few chapters of Carmen and I'm hooked! And YEAH, we need more Michael Fassbender/Tom Hiddleston/Tom Hardy/british boys in general, because let's face it, they're simply BETTER.
I've just been really out of practice so I was really worried that I was rusty. I've already started the first chapter start so it should be up within the week! and yes totally people should appreciate glasses more for sure c:
The contest deadline has been pushed up, due to a contestant asking for an extension so I'm extending it for every one- instead of the 20th December, the deadline is January 5th.
Hope you all have a merry Christmas and happy new year!
Now I'm really curious to see where you're taking your characters - especially if they're being shown in another light! Barty and Draco and Isola - oh my! :o
I want to say hurry up with your updates but I feel even if you did update I wouldn't find time until tomorrow or the next day to read it, so take your time with however your process works! I can wait! I'm just anxious and excited! *bounces in seat*
Oh gosh, I'm sorry to have pressured you. If it's any consolation, right here, right now, I'm going to say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT LAKE SCENE! THE WAY YOU TOLD THIS AND THAT AND OMG THAT PART WAS MY FAVOURITE! ISOLA WAS SO FIERCE AND OH GIRL, BARTY CROUCH WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
It's no problem, honey. It's hard now to like something that's done with such care and attention to detail as you've done. It's rare, even with some well-written stories.
I don't comment much so it's not a lot of pressure on me to leave long comments. You pretty much will see me comment every chapter, whether they are long or not. I will keep that in mind, though, thanks!
I'm so glad you love my feedback, considering I don't do it much.
I'm glad to see you took my advice on board and did make the changes, but really they were minor changes that anybody could have made considering I was paying a very close eye to your writing. Let's just say I was hooked and hanging onto every word like they were going to jump off my screen and scamper away into the The Forbidden Forest.
Whilst I know a lot of people write away from J.K's work, I find it refreshing that you have added her story into your work and it's not all yours. That really resonates with me that you are a good writer because I feel that the characters that are already established are still as they are written, like you still managed to keep true to everything that she has made them.
You know, Draco's personality is still him, it's not a softer version of him. Whereas when people write romance about him, they write him all loving and caring, and that wasn't him at the time in Hogwarts.
As well as your depiction of Crouch, Jr., whilst you don't get much of him in the books I still feel that you have written him the way I'm sure J.K. would have done were the books to be centered around the Dark Lord and his followers. I probably would have also written him the same way, too, so I'm biased.
From what you've told me about the Tournament, I'm really excited now, especially for the Lake scene, I'm wondering how you're going to incorporate that into the story - this was my favourite of all the tournaments featured. I wasn't a huge fan of the maze, I felt it was too rushed in the movies.
Anyways, long comment over now, I think I should have written part of that as a comment to your story not on your profile... Oh well, I'm sure you'll enjoy me praising your work nonetheless.
I totally understand where you're coming from with the typos. Sometimes I can barely keep focused on a story if it has too many, and very obvious, mistakes. So I'm glad to see you do take the time for us readers to edit your story.
Oh, I deeply apologise to have blown the roof on that secret. I'll keep it hush-hush for sure. Not a peep out of me. No way, sir, ma'am. I'm glad to see you appreciate fine-looking men as well - emphasis on fine! Hehe~
How similar are the two stories? I'm sure you're capable of steering clear of being called a 'copy cat' as you are quite a talented writer. Let's just say I've taken a peek at your other stories too, and I'm not disappointed with them, you really are almost at a published level, I feel.
No problem. I'm glad I was able to provide you with some actual, constructive criticism, as you put it. I'm not sure I will go back to being silent on this story, it's caught my eye now. You're also a sweet girl, I want to keep you updated with my thoughts about your story!
Take your time, love, I want to see quality over quantity! That goes for words-per-chapter as well as chapter-per-story.
