Holy...I have never read a Panic! At The Disco fic before and this one...It's so powerful and chilling that it blew me away! You have done an amazing job writing this, well done!!
So this creeped me out a lot! I loved the story though; the idea was really intruiging, and the voice is what insanity would be like, then I'd be terrified to even be living. S/he is actually one of the best written stories I've read though. Good job. I really want to read more of your stories now.
I loved this so much. Oh my god. I loved the voice. Well, no I didn't. But I loved the whole.. idea of it. It almost seemed like his insecurity. The way you write put me in the position of Ryan. S/he is one of the best horror stories I've ever read. It's amazing. I don't know if I could ever actually put up with a voice like that.
This was wicked. It truly is the scariest thing that I have ever read. I agree with killjoy from detroit, s/he is not a person that you could kill or make it go away. For me, personally, I believed that it was a devil or whispers to make yourself go crazy. I am happy that s/he went away. Wow, that was pretty interesting story, and I liked that you made it in second person, to make it more personal for the reader (make us be "part" of the story). Good job.
This is one of the best things I've read in my entire life. And I'm not joking. It's amazing. S/he is probably the creepiest thing on this Earth, fictional or not. It scares me because s/he isn't someone you can just kill and get rid of. S/he keeps coming back, and it's just...wow.
And the ending is just wonderful. The whole thing is wonderful, and I am in love with second-person writing now because of this. It is the best one I've ever read! And I can say that with the utmost honesty. Thank you for writing this, actually.
I am so unbelievably glad I decided to actually come and read this story.
...
Gah. This was...fabulous, amazing, wonderful, fantastic...none of those words come close to what this is. Not even put together. Just...wow. It really tore me up, deep to the heart, because...it's so familiar. I can't even describe it. I feel so wordless right now, haha.
You have left me speechless.
May I point out a few things? There was one time that I noticed you forgot to put (or him) after a her. It was only once, but I thought I should mention it. Uhm, okay, the next thing I have to say isn't about spelling/grammar, or any mistakes at all...but I can' tbelieve that I made it halfway throught this before realizing that it was in second person. So unbelievably weird, since I'm not used to reading/writing second.
But I don't think it could've been written any other way. That just made it so much more.
I just stumbled upon this story, & I must say, I'm very, very impressed. It's different from anything I've read. To be honest, this is the first story I have read that involves an imaginary friend/enemy. And I think you did an tremendous job describing the fear Ryan felt, & went through.
It's gripping, & makes you fear for Ryan, & anyone around him because of what s/he is attempting to make Ryan do.
Beautiful. I, personally, would have preferred it in first person, but I think I'm biased because I'm incapable of writing in second person... Definetly one of my favourites. I really like how you included everthing I look for in a story: suspense, details, character traits, etc. I've heard people talking about Dru and her amazing writings, but I was unable to find you and no one wanted to give me the link... Anyway, I don't want this message to be long, or no one will read it, so for the last time, lovely story. Have you gotten a book published yet (not of this specific story, as it's probably a bit too short, and not your ideal childrens' novel)?
I loved this, the first time I read it and my computer wouldn't let me comment, subscribe, anything so I could find it again. I spent months looking for it, and I'm so glad I found it. This changed the way I thought about writing. I loved this.
This is such an amazing story.....I didn't even realize it was a Fall out Boy story until you mentioned Pete Wentz. ^.^......I noticed that when I finished reading, I was crying. It's been awhile since I found something that would make me cry....
This was just so beautiful, and real, and great. I couldn't have read anything better
This is absolutely... wow. I didn't even realize it was Rydon, until I read through about half of it. But it was absolutely... wow. The second person writing was also well done. I applaud you for your talent writing that!
The reason I found this was reading through the forum topic about story pet peeves, and I saw that you wrote a story with second person. I decided I'd give it a shot, since I used to read second person a lot when I was a fan of Harry Potter fanfic (a lot of it was second person back on Quizilla), and I was extremely wowed by this.
This hit me hard, reading it. I mean, what if this was how my life was? That would be a never-ending hell. Living like this. Thankfully though, the ending made it look as if things would eventually look up.
I think the imaginary enemy was written so well, and s/he was perfect to the fullest extent. They say that some stories need a good villain. Bailey was definitely a good villain. An amazing villain, a spectacular villain. Although I was kind of terrified of the idea of her (or him) and didn't think of her (or him) as an imaginary person that I'd want to know, I loved her (or him).
Amazingly written and amazingly executed. And wow, did I overuse the words 'wow' and 'amazing(ly)' or what? Hah, keep on writing, because you have some talent there! :'D
I'm feeling kind of weird for not leaving such a long comment like some people up there, but I'm just simply not capable of such lengths.
But this must be the longest oneshot I've ever read, unless there just happens to be longer one shots when I go back to read all your other stuff - I honestly really love them, whether I actually like Rydon or not :3
Amazing though. It's kinda scary if you think about it; imagine having this imaginary enemy actually being real to you. Gosh, I think I'd actually throw myself into a mental hospital myself just for the sake of being around people and not being alone with s/he.
