Wow, you’ve really improved since the last chapter; Frank’s thoughts are even more twisted than Gerard’s actions. (If it really is Gerard.) What’s interesting is that he still cares for himself; don't want to risk breaking myself but still degrades himself as a pitiful creature. The hate he has for himself seems to stem from the fact he doesn’t feel good enough for Gerard. That’s really what makes the entire story so intensely sad and so fascinating, with such few words you’ve not only described his pain, what he’s going through etc, but his genuine love for Gerard. Can’t wait to find out how you carry on, keep it up! :cute: p.s. I still found it amusing that Gerard had a ‘masculine’ torso, it’s so far from the truth, bless him.
Hey, I told you I'd read it, and I have to say considering English isn't your first language you write pretty well. There were a few typos and grammatical errors throughout but nothing to major. I also agree with newjerseyatemywallet, the picture in the layout really fits the tone of your story so far which is always good :XD.
Hmm, I don't really know what else to say other than I'm looking forward to the next chapter I'd like to see where you're going to take it. I think it's interesting that you never mentioned the name of Frank's abuser, so the reader assumes it's Gerard but yeah i don't know if that's intentional or not but it's effective.
Another thing I quite liked was the way how Frank's abuser calls him Frankie, which creates a nice juxtaposition seeing as that's a pet name. Yeah, i guess my only suggestion would be to take things slowly and not get too consumed by the action of the story, try to explore feelings realistically, to make the story even more effective.
First of all I’d like to say the layout is beautiful, from what I can tell it will really work for your story. You need to alter it a bit though as some of the text, that’s over the picture is hard to read.
Only mistakes I noticed; venomously spat. should be spit. Your face lights op in a terrifying typo, should be up. Oh and occasionally a few times you’ve forgot to capitalize when you use speech marks e.g. should be “Ha” rather than “ha” :cute: Other than that this story really has potential. It’s intriguing, and it would be great to have another frerard author in our ranks! I’d suggest a beta, someone who can check, over your work before you post it; I don’t know what I’d do without one! It also helps for your confidence, if you’re not so sure about posting a story. Good luck in your writing!
