Okay, first off... I am so sorry for not reading the last chapter and the epilogue sooner because I was writing finals and seriously wanted to comment and say something real and not sound... robotic. Kaylie, these are the stories that deserve to be recommended on sites like FamInfamy and the like because they started out with a promise which grew into something more than anyone could anticipate. You kept people guessing, even with our suspicions until the very end, you had gorgeous imagery and the amount of detail put into each chapter was admirable. The plot came full-circle and flowed wonderfully. But most of all, you put your heart into it and it felt real because of that.
Thank you for sharing a beautiful story, something that wasn`t a cliche, something that was real and addressed issues that really need the recognition. I think plenty of young readers will read this in the future and realize they`re beautiful the way they are and don`t need to change themselves for anyone. So thank you for honesty, beauty, and profound talent.
Okay, my time to write out what I thought (though it may be short considering that I'm tired.) I think that I came in about the time you posted the fifteenth chapter and instantly fell in love with it. In a way, every girl that reads this story understands Emelie because we all have something about ourselves that we don't like - whether it be looks, or weight, or even our personality - and some of it's caused because of who we're around, but at the same time, we put it on ourselves. Seeing Emelie develop through the story and the dramatic change in the last few chapters honestly made me think, and that's one of my favorite things about this story. It's something every girl needs to know: we're ourself, and not anyone else. We're never going to look the same, or have the "perfect" body like what we invision. I'm extremely happy to see Emelie's change, and I appreciate you writing this. It helped me to realize that I'm me, and I don't need to change myself. You're an excellent author and I really enjoyed Hemorrhage. Thank you for sharing it with us.
(P.S. I have no idea whether or not I've commented before. I don't remember.)
Wow. This was so fantastical on so many levels. I think I was almost crying at the end. I'm going to miss this story so so so much :( Thank you so much for writing it! I don't think you know how great of a writer you really are :)
(I didn't know who John was, but I suppose I do know - so thank you for that knowledge. Also, thank you for bringing back memories of my day dreaming about Warped Tour as a kid.)
This is seriously THE most amazign story ever! I'm super sad that it's over, but I'm so happy with how it ended! This story is astounding and truly inspirational.
As a silent subscriber, I just want to say that was possibly one of the best unpublished fan stories that I have ever read. I laughed, I cried, but most of all, I felt what you wrote. I've had several friends who were anorexic, and none of them ever recovered, nor do I fear they will. An eating disorder is a sad, horrendous thing. Most of the time, those who suffer from them do so silently, and I feel like you portrayed that feeling perfectly. I was never able to get inside my friends' heads, but from your story I gained a new perspective on the struggle to feel beautiful and wanted.
I hate that this story ended, but I love the ending. It was more then I could ask for. This story was a real eye opener and I am thank full that I read this, bot just because John O was in it (gosh he's hot) but because I now know what my sister and friend went through. It's nice to get an inside view on that. You have really good writing skills and this story was amazing. It's a bittersweet feeling.
I got a mention! I can I get a 'hellll yeaaah'. It's true, my crush on Johno came about through stumbling upon this and then googling who exactly I was reading about. I'd like to thank you haha, for that and for writing something so beautiful, heartbreaking and passionate. Honest to God, this rollercoaster of a story has been the best thing I've read on mibba. It just amazes me. With every update I was left in awe. Your writing style, your delicate but truthful telling of such a difficult subject, everything, is utterly perfect. It's fantastic. It's been breathtaking. It's a struggle finding the words to tell you how much I've adored Hemorrhage, I don't think there are enough. I won't hound you for something new right now, but just know I'll be reading, for sure. x
That was amazing. I've been reading this story since day one, and I am so happy that everything worked out for her in the end. I would say so much more but im speechless. Best story I've read in a LONG time. :D
Hello, silent subscriber here. : ) I usually don't like band-boy romance stories, but I really really liked Hemorrhage. Even though I have a hard time fathoming anorexia, I felt that I understood Emilie's motivations. About half-way through, I felt SUPER connected to her character. I only wish I could develop a character as well as you did with Emelie. Also, I 've had to deal with a lot of backstabbing "friends" and reading the texts from Pat really impacted me. I think you have amazingly genuine writing talent and this story was a job well done! : D *dusts off hands* There! I am no longer silent. PS- You should try writing some original fiction!
Omg D: i can't believe that this is the end D: this was one of the best stories i had read here in mibba (: you write so perfectly, you have this style that i just can't describe but it so amazing and make me feel all so real, like that everything's real. You made me cry a lot of times with this story. You made me "awee" a lot of times too. You made me love and hate Johns sometimes. This was just awesome and i really wanted to make the last comment a long and good one. I really wanted to show you that this story was more than amazing, And im sosososo happy that Emilie and John are together! you don't know how happy i am right now (: this was just lovely and awesome. <3
This story was great all the way through! I actually learned a lot from this and it seemed very well thought out and planned. You are a fantastic writer and you did an amazing job on this story(:
kay so i just read the whole entire story today, && all i can say is: THE BEST MOTHERFUCKING STORY I HAVE EVER READ!! i loved it all, every single moment of it. i wish i would have discovered it all before, but i didn't): you are seriously an amazing writer, && i absolutely ADORED reading every single sentence. && the fact that it wasn't some story that was just written for fun, but a story that had an actual meaning behind it, is why i loved it all the more. i could totally relate with Emilie on some of the things she was going through. i used to think i was too fat, when in all honesty, i'm a fucking twig! my friends would tell me that i was too fat && that i was ugly && all that jazz && i believed them. but then i moved && realized that they were all just jealous && they were truly not my friends, but people who wanted to mess with my head. i am so glad that i found the truth, or i would probably still be devastated. i never had thoughts of anorexia or bulimia, i just let their comments depress me, because in all honesty who doesn't want to fit in? who doesn't want their friends to think of them as beautiful? so i'm really happy that you wrote this && hopefully plenty of girls will read this && be inspired to do something about themselves && fix all those negative thoughts. && now, i shall go read all the rest of your stories! thanks once again for writing this && please continue to write(:
