    Just reread this myself.

    Can anyone say 'subtle'? I just realized how completely unnoticeable it is.

    Oh my God.
    It took me a minute to realize what had happened. So I read it again, and then I read it again, just because I can.
    You, my friend, have just written my favorite oneshot on mibba. Ever.

    Just thought I'd share.

    I think that I know what happened. I mean...I think I do. It took me a minute and then I sat there, stunned. Completly.
    I liked how you described the death. I mean, it was a death right? Frank slit his throat with the glass...right?
    I am so confused.

    I KNOW WHAT THIS REMINDED ME OF.
    A Catcher in the Rye. The way it was written. You didn't just come out and say it, that hint of insanity was there. The way you repeated your lines. The style was amazing.

    -ahem-Genius-cough-

    And then it reminded me of a short story called Porphira's Lover. That's not spelled right, damn. But it was there.

    I love this.
    Alot.

    In case you didn't notice.
    :)
    I'm off to read more of your work. So expect long-ass comments wherever you turn.

    amazing! at first, i had no idea it was about Frank and Gee, but i like how you made them out to be more human than some startstudded celeb. you gave them a very human and vulnerable quality, i liked how you implicated the "fight" on stage, and just the sadness and neutrality of it all.

    Agh, damn you Horsie.

    I just sat here with my gaping mouth, staring at the screen. I actually didn't get it at first, then I reread the slashing across the throat part and I was like,

    "OMGee. Gerard is dead. It's Frank..." Cheese

    It was amazing, though. Probably my second fave fic of yours, because he first is Echo and it's tied with War Can't Last. I mean, the idea, the recurring paragraph (a style I love, and used in a fic called Before the Song Dies, check it out?), the graceful yet morbid imagery... it was sweeping.

    Sorry for the somewhat blank review. I'm kinda sober. :XD

    Just so you know, it's another masterpiece, a wonderfully painted picture. Mr. Green

    I haven't written a circle fic in over a year.

    I like them very much, but now I remember that writing too many makes me dizzy. @_@

    OK. I loved it. You know why? Because you did the thing that I love the most in stories: go in circles, repeat phrases, end with the beginning.... It feels like a lot is going on, but at the end, they're in the same place. I REALLY LOVE THAT. And what's better than a franked up Frank?? lol. The little hint about the fight on stage was brilliant, we all know what you're talking about, but you didn't go through a massive bunch of boring details about it. That was great....
    She said everything right there. Man that was good I enjoyed every minute of it. I'm glad I woke up right in time to read this. :D I love your writing. I guess I have to add another favorite author to my wall of awesomeness!

    Wow, that was...at frist I was, not confused, but wondering what this was about. The ending was amazing. It all came together, a giant circle.

    I love how you make what frank did seem so simple, like he took the glass, slit Gerards throat. Then he's like "Oh, he must have split some paint." When we know that's not really paint.

    He’s still working on it right now. Because it needs to be perfect. Because he needs to be perfect.

    And as I sat there, I realized that he wasn’t perfect. That I wasn’t perfect. That neither of us, no, none of us would ever be. It was impossible.


    I love this. This sums up what I've been trying to tell people SO MUCH. They are not perfect, they try to seem [try to be perfect] cause they feel they need to be. When really, they aren't. And they never will be.

    Very very good. I loved when Frankie said "Pain me a picture" so simply, yet the simple demand meant so much. To both him, and Gerard.

    I agree totally with lups. horsie890, You are amazing. No doubt about it; You have such brilliant creativity and you obviously know how to use it with great intentions. I seriously am begging Dujo to have 'Author Subscriptions', and if that ever happened, you'd be the very first on my list.

    And I'm not just saying this because you're a Ninja and Rex has a chainsaw held over me. xD

    Seriously, I'm hooked. -Applauds-
