Do You Think You're Up For This? - Comments

Ch21:
Awh. There's our guy. I'm glad her mom talked sense to her, and that Michael's got it worked out. Plus, I like that you can make her an argumentative crybaby and I still like her as a character. That's skill.

Ch20:
I know, by now you think I'm OCD and kind of scary. You're probably making an accurate assumption, but please. What else am I supposed to do when banished to the suburbs? Here goes:
She's silly. And over reacting, and so obviously hormonal. It's adorable. Why doesn't he see that she needs him to just hold her and make her shut up? Oh well. They'll work it out, right? Please?

Ch19:
Rae&Michael. Oh, they're impossible. Too sweet for sound, they love abounds, sweet too-perfect couple.
On the other hand, we have Mike and Suzy. He tries but she denies him endlessly. So sad, so awful. Wasted love and confused channels. They need to communicate. She needs to get over it.

Ch18:
Oooo. Decision time! It sucks she won't let other people help her. The band's on break, so how to keep the relationships going without tour to pass of the awkwardness?

Ch17:
Even bigger ouch. That girl better come clean, cause it's just not fair. She needs to tell him she loves him, too. That was such a cop out, she's better than that.
(Again, see how involved you've got me? Go author)

Ch16:
Ouch. Mike's at home, trying to plan a make-up surprise, and she latches on to Suarez. On the other hand, go Suarez for turning her away and otherwise being a gentlemanly friend. =]
Felt kind of filler-ish though, I hope the next chap has more meat.
I like Suzie, and her point of view. I just wish she was more willing to face her problems.

Ch15:
"Get pregnant, then I'll do shit for you." Mae me laugh quite a bit. =]
Refreshing to switch back to the guys, Chizzy's so cute. I feel so bad for Mike, the guy doesn't deserve what you put him through, author.

Ch14:
Oh, Suzie. I feel for her. The whole 'break' thing is a bad limbo to float in.
Yup, preggo hormones+tour=exhaustion and issues. Wish Chizzy would fly out to their next venue to surprise her, I think she needs it.

Ch13:
Rae and Chizzy are so cute, end of story.
I liked how the Suzie POV helped fill her in more, and I was kind of disappointed she's not going to try harder with Mike. There are ways to have fun and get enthusiastic again. Also disappointed that he let it go so easily. Maybe there is a point to them splitting, I suppose.

Ch12:
I was right on the Suzie count, but I don't think I want them to break up. I'm with Rae on this one. =/
It was kind of weird reading her POV, seeing how I'm not used to it, but at this point I think it helped flesh out her character a bit.

Ch11:
Ooo, tension among the other couple. I'm foreseeing a break up, and that's just not fun.
I like that they're waiting to find out the gender, and that Suzie seems personally offended by their decision. Made me laugh.

Oh, and I think you might be my music soulmate. TAI, FOB, Socratic, New Years Day, and now you're quoting Brand New's Failure by Design. Just say you like Kill Hannah, too, and you're perfect in my eyes. *nods seriously before laughing at self*

Ch10:
Ah, jackass guy friends. The boobs comment was so unnecessary. But hurting the band is a real concern. How're they going to handle the hormones on tour, and then a baby, or a post-partum depressed Rae? Hmm. And thanks for bringing the PaintMe... boys back in to the story. =]

Ch9:
Bahaha, they're doin the dirty tango. ;)
Oh goodness, can you imagine the Butcher/Sisky babysitting havok? Ouch. Your kid would be so traumaized. Or really hyperactive afterward, one or the other.

Ch8:
I feel so bad for her morning sickness, the women in my family tend not to have it so I can't even imagine. None of my pregnant cousins ever got sick around me, just had to pee a whole lot.
Will's reaction is so cute! And her mom's, too. I like that she sort of scolded her, but was so happy about it.
Also, her talk with Michael at the end is beautiful. I like that she has insecurities, it makes her so real.

Ch7:
YAY! Much better to her, I think. I knew Michael had to come around, and I'm proud of him being happy and supportive. I liked that she's getting the feeling he'll be overprotective & worry a lot in the next 8 months. I'm glad Suzie gets to be excited now, cause I think she'll be a ridiculously adorable and doting auntie.
=D

Ch6:
Okay, so he isn't being a bad man, and I don't need to swear at his fictional personality in my mind. "...the shock sets in and the stomach acid finds new ways of making you sick..."
He'll be better to her, right? When he wakes up?

Ch5:
Oh, bad Michael, bad! It's no good solidifying all her anxieties, and stressing her out! I mean, she's freaking out and crying, but the best he can do is walk away and sleep by himself? BAD.
I hope he wises up in the next installment...
(See how involved your writing's got me? Score up for you, dear author.)

Ch4:
Hooray for excited best friends with good advice! I'm getting more & more anxious for Michael's reaction the longer she puts off telling him. How long can she do it without a spectacular breakdown, if she's sobbing at the mere sight of Suzie? Ch5, here I come...

Ch3:
Oh, I just want to walk up to her, take her by the shoulders, and remind her that the longer you keep secrets the harder they are to keep or tell. And then I want to cry for her, cause she's rejecting her love out of nerves and shock. I really thought it was funny how she was near obsessing over the non-existent baby bump; I like how real her emotions feel while I'm reading this. =]
You're excellent at writing convincingly in present tense. Rare skill, that.

Ch2:
Awh, she's so torn up! And Michael doesn't know, but he's so worried for her. It's sweet that he notices her habits like that.
I like how realistically she's swinging back and forth on the issue, plus how she's worried about telling her mom & band. I know I'd be terrified in that situation, no matter the age/marital status.
