Haha that's more than ok. I'm glad you liked reading it :)

But it's a great story. It's so sweet and you have such a way with words.

Hi Eleni, thanks for commenting on my story! I'm glad you found it, too. Waking up to your comment has already made my day.

Thanks for the comment (:
The message would be great. I honestly don't catch the mistakes until I read the chapter more than 5 times and I'm just too lazy by basically the second time....

I wouldn't feel too bad. I can't really grasp New Mibba either... some of it is COMPLETELY over my head...

Haha I'm so glad! Of course I still care, it's a good story and I'm looking forward to an update :D

I will definitely take your comment on, Eternity, into consideration, and revise it either tonight or tomorrow. I liked your comment. It was better than the, "I like it. Update soon" comments. Thanks. :) I hope you continue to read and enjoy it.

I just saw that you left me another wonderful comment. Yay! :D
Thank you again so much. Yes! I'm glad I got the voice to sound narrative, I was worried maybe it would sound like I wrote it in third person. Hehehe, I'm glad the thought of Tim Burton came to mind. I actually modeled the beginning a little bit after his movie, Sweeney Todd, where he says something about a barber living on something-something street. I don't remember the exact words, but that's what I was going for so I'm so happy to hear that you caught it! :D
Haha, yeah I did picture a parent admonishing a naughty child when I wrote that, oh no, no, no part. XD
Yay! There's so much I could thank you for. I'm really happy to read that you enjoyed that story. I had a fun time writing it & I think it's quickly becoming one of my favorites. :3
I'm going to go through and edit the sentences that you mentioned. Now that you mention them they do sound off. But I'm glad that you brought them up. (:
Anywho, a thousand times, thank you! :D

Also, sorry for the double comment. :,)

Oh my gosh...that thought never occurred to me! I've been giving the monsters opportunities to catch me! O.O

Ahaha! :,D Good call on your part. I wouldn't of known what to do. I'd probably just avoid the question and slowly back away. XD

Thank you for the uber long comment (:
Those are my favorite and for some reason not many people like to leave them.
Also I completely understand the phone thing haha.
And you gave me a lot to think about. I've already started re-writing the first chapter and stuff, but I will try to make some of the things you talked about more clear. (Obviously I won't post the re-writes until I finish completely though.)

I really liked your comment and hope that you'll leave me another in the near future even if it takes a couple chapters for you to make it work (:

Haha, yes they're just so adorable!

That one still bothers me because my floor is always so open and spacious. I don't even like to let my arms or legs hang off the side of the bed because I imagine something will grab me & drag me under my bed. D,:

Yeah, the parents will feel all awkward and be like, wtf do we do? o.O
Lol. XD

Haha, yeah I know what you mean. My little nephew will randomly flip people off sometimes & I'm like, *gasp* don't do that! I swear, the things his father teaches him. -_-
It's fine. Sometimes, I'm still afraid of monsters under my bed. >.>
Lol. I'm glad you liked that bit, I enjoyed it myself. I was trying to think of a way for the neighbors to brush off the topic because nobody's really comfortable with telling a little boy those kinds of things. XD

Hello, I wanted to say thank you for the story comment. (:
I'm glad you didn't think the 'My neighbors are killers' was too repetitive. I was going for a juxtapose sorta thing, I guess. I'm also really happy you liked my descriptions! Most kids in the second grade are either 7 or 8, but nowadays kids, even little ones, know more than they should because of all the movies & tv shows they watch. That's why I went a little bit more into detail with the 'gory' descriptions.
I'm sorry you were disappointed by the ending. I went with that ending because he is a little boy & children have a big imagination that tends to be misleading at times, which is why the boy thought the sounds coming from his neighbors apartment were sounds of them killing instead of what it actually was. Kind of like the whole 'monsters in my closet' thing as a child. If that makes any sense. XD

I'm writing another story called Ocean of Secrets
and thought that I would tell you due to you
liking my past story Teenage Dream, and
was wondering if you would tell me what you think.

I actually had to take a moment to breathe after reading your comment on Sticks and Stones. I'm extremely grateful for your kind words and elated that Ione and Ewan have touched you so. I barely have words for how happy I am. And you've recced it even! I hardly believe a simple "thank you" can suffice here.

You're so nice! Thank you for the story comment. <3
(I would write a longer comment, but XMJGEI,NF.GGGAGYBDJKFF)

Thank you for your critiques! ^~^
I understand what you mean by it sounding sorta textbookish & certain parts forced. I felt the same way when I was reading it over for errors.
I think you were right about the overkill bit so don't feel like you've crossed over the line or anything. Lol.
I'll definitely come to you for any help or advice after I'm done rewriting. It may take a while though because I'm having a certain sort of writer's block where I know what I want to write, I just don't know how to get it out. >.<
But thank you again, so very much! You were very helpful & encouraging. (:

Of course I can! :)

I understand! There was this moment when I was writing the epilogue where I was like, "No, this isn't happening, quick, someone create 200 more pages of story for me to write!" but it was time for it to end. And your comment was very sweet :)

As for ever being in their world again....well, I have been playing with the idea for quite some time that I may someday write Lance and Sara's story. It's probably cruel to mention this, because I doubt that if I do write it it'll end up on this site, but there it is. Always a possibility!

Ahh I'm glad you're liking these last few :) I liked that line as well - it's amazing ot me how much Ash has grown over the course of this story. The novel has ended up being more about Ash and how she's grown than about the circumstances that got her there. I'll miss her too :\

The last chapter is written and ready to go. I'm just waiting to make sure that she doesn't have anything more to say before I post it. You know Ash; it's quite likely she'll start screaming at me about some random point that I failed to mention. But expect it within the next two weeks :) (Thanks SO much for reading!!!)
