Stranded Memories - Comments

*hides pitchfork and torch* I think that totally makes up for the longass amount of time it took for that chapter to come out. I mean, honestly, MAY? Didn't we have a discussion in like, June, about you bringing it back?
Anyways, I have complete faith that you're going to update soon, because it was hard to assemble a huge mob of angry readers, and they'll only be more angry at having to get together again :)

No, no, Kate, you aren't going to try to finish this, you are going to finish this, or else I will be very angry. And sad.
Aw, William's such a super cute, dead, and amazing guy! I love him, both alive AND dead! (That sounded creepy, but I think you get the point...)

"People don't know how to deal with death. There's no social standard that's actually effective for how to act with someone who just experienced it."

I had the same problem a couple years ago. Everyone would just look at me with an expression that screamed 'I'm sorry...', 'You poor thing'. It's a sad thing when noone can try to jump over obstacles and look past the sad eyes.

You've done a lovely chapter again, keep it up! (I'll be crying by the end of this, I am sure!)

I hope you can keep this going!!! I love it so much!!

You seem to know when to write beautifully, so when I read it my heart falls more, an more deeply in love with your writing. You could keep me reading a book and it would not be put down once.
I want to hug you and send you an array of gifts. For now, I give virtual gifts and hugs.

-showers you in hugs and gifts-

Damn it!
I can't tell if this is going to be a ghost story or not, but I'm kinda hoping not cause I was planning on writing one and I don't want to copy you :(
Also: how did I miss this story? It's amazing.

Comment number two!
I love how eager they both are, and yet how oblivious they're each trying to play off as. Obviously, William digs her (so cute about him rehearsing a smooth line to deliver when she comes by again), and you can tell he's all trying to act so nonchalant when really he's so excited about her visiting him again. And then she's trying to act all suave, too, by not glancing at him at all before going up to the register. It's amusing.
I think that William should call her and invite her to a party, since she's going off on how she doesn't get to live and all that. And then she can be like, wow, you're so cool Bill, I love you, you're great. And he can be like, yeah, I know, I am pretty awesome, cool, I love you too.
Or she can call him after some major stressed day with her mother/friends, and she can be like 'take me to a party, it's a friday night, let's go!' and be all, 'i need a life and you're awesome (i love you), and he can take her out and be cute and it'll be great :]
Update this again!

Okay, I'm giving you TWO COMMENTS, because I was awful and didn't have time to comment for part four earlier. So, here's for four:
I loved it. Even though that was a really frustrating part, I loved it. Violet's mom is being really lame, and kind of a bitch. Like, can't she see that Violet's hurting from, oh, I do'nt know, the love of her life freaking being dead!? Grawr. That's really lame. If she needs to take a bit of time off and recooperate, then so be it. It'd be a waste of money if she went to school and was like a zombie around campus, and she can't just bounce back after all that she's gone through so quickly.
Nrh, the mother makes me mad.
Now I'm going to go read five, though! :]

Aw, thank you! This was a great birthday present, although sad. Violet's life seems so awful, so forced and controlled. I'd hate to live like that, it seems like it would be awful. Actually, no. It would be awful!

This chapter was great, as always :]
My week sucked. I stayed home two days.
Haha.

Ew, I'm sorry you're sick. That's awful, but at least it's not the swine flu!
Okay, power to Violet, standign up for herself like that! I mean, telling someone you're not going to college, and when your mother wants you going to an Ivy League or well know school, it must be even harder!

I enjoyed this chapter very much so :]
I've been home for the last three days, sick, and also not with the swine flu.

This is really an interesting story line. I cannot wait to read what comes next!

Don't give up on this story just yet, missy.
I adored the update. But that's nothing new.
I like that she waited for the customer to leave so she could continue to talk to him. And that he is already teasing her. And that you had him bored, at the register, in a tacky vest (which I can only imagine would look lovely on him).
I think Violet should start going into the Durden's more. (Oh, and when I read that, my first thought was 'HOLY SHIT, FIGHT CLUB, I LOVE EDWARD NORTON'.) Anyway. She should go in and visit, and one day wear her sweater/jacket thing with her school crest or whatever on it, and then he can be a bit of a creeper and show up at her school some time and be like 'oh hey, i'm so cute' and she can be like 'oh hey, yeah, you are, let's date' and bam, they're in love.
Haha.
UPDATE MORE :]

Aw, how cute! William being all sarcastic, Violet being all nervous...It feels like a scene out of a movie, something you can picture so vividly. It's perfect.
Please don't loose intrest, I'll start whoring ASAP

Well this is kind of sad :[
But, it is amazing, very well written, just like all of your stuff.
I cannot wait to read what comes next!

Geez, Kate, could you be a better writer? I mean, honestly! It's not fair to be reading this and all I could think is "damnit, this is brilliant!"
I could picture everything so perfectly, like a scene out of a movie. The flowers and the graveyard were so perfectly described that it was almost like I was walking in Violet's shoes.
This chapter was so beautiful and perfect, you have no idea how excited I am for more!

Oh hey, what's this? Another AMAZING UPDATE?!
How totall not shocking.
As usual, I loved this. I'm a big fan of Violet's character. The end was my favorite, her talking to him and bringing flowers to his grave. At first I thought maybe she was going to one of the guys' houses when you mentioned a particular house, but once she took the flowers I was like 'OH, GOT IT, GRAVEYARD'. I really liked the mention of her sitting in front of the tombstone and him laying six feet beneath her. Haunting, but lovely. (I always get freaked out at walking around in graveyards, stepping over people).
I really like the writing style this is in. Even more so than your usual stuff. I'm like, in love with descriptive words and long descriptions (in case you never caught on from my own writing, ha) and you the descriptions you have in this are beautiful.
I can't wait for more, as usual. I'll bribe you with an update of my Adam story or William story, or something, if you update the next one soon :P

heyyyyy i haven't talked to you in awhile :) buts i loved it. definitely different like you said and a sort of plot line that only a few people can pull off... you being one of them! somene else could totally botch this up but i have a feeling you'll make it amazing.
k i wanna know the dreams of fire and such and how it came around that william died. also i am excited to find out more about their relationship and how they feel about each other, and her feeling about his death... poor william haha killing off people makes for good stories though :D i would know hehe
update soon!
sorry it took me awhile to get to this... i haven't been on in awhile. so BUSY!

Oh this was interesting!
I can't wait to read more, I miss your stories.
It's been to long :cute:
