Best Thing In Town - Comments

Annddd I've finished the story. I really enjoy the way you wrote this because, something about your writing style with this particular story, plays out like a memory, like it could even be the reader's memory. The way we float throughout the days instead of an exact, overly-detailed play by play, if that makes sense. I like it a lot because it feels dreamy and it honestly does feel like I've crawled inside of Logan's head and I'm just watching her memories play out on the screen. I especially like how you write the chapters having to do with the last night, you really hit the hammer on the head playing out the drunk-mindset, if that makes sense. Like I almost felt drunk reading it? Like a lot of times the characters are drunk, but the story is written in a way where you just feel like a sober person reading about one person's drunken interactions, whilst being able to see everyone else's sober ones. If that makes sense. This felt like we were looking at the world through her drunk goggles and I really love it idk. I also am totally in love with the whole "A storm is coming" vibe and the idea of this party to ride out the storm/hurricane and all of that idk. I really like it a lot. I also like how we get a sense that Logan has been through something traumatic previously, be it a relationship or a bad experience. We get that she is guarded, closed off, that she strives to protect herself by shooting down ideas of hope before they can manifest in her head and let her down. I like that we get this idea from her, but we never truly know what it is or what happened or what she went through. It's almost like she's so guarded that she won't even let her mind go there? I don't know maybe I'm reading too much into things but I love it a lot.

I'll be re-reading the sequel next! Glad you're still out here writing!

So I'm on chapter 10 now and I'm just checking to say that I love this story just as much as I remember, although I have forgotten much of the plot over the years. I do remember that I still adore the name "Logan" for a girl and that I like how you wrote both hers and Billie's characters. I really love how nostalgic this story makes me for times when I was younger in junior high and highschool. Days wide open in the spring and summer, filled with exploring and crushes and fun little encounters and whatnot. Your writing is just as great as I remember! Off to continue reading now!

I'm about to start re-reading this because I am Green Day/Billie Fic deprived and it's been a year or so and since you're still updating the sequel , it should be enough to give me a fix wooh!
I'm happy we're sticking to our guns about still being the last standing Green Day/Billie fic writers on earth like we said lmao. I know I intend to keep writing/reading until I'm on my death bed or something.
I still need to update mine because it's been a minute and I haven't done so since the summer. But here's to beginning this again! I'll comment again after a few chapters! Cheers!

Sorry it took me--like-- a year and a half to respond.
I wanted to tell you that the second time I'd read it over, I got the ending.
I think I read it in a rush the first time as I had to be somewhere.
It totally made sense.
And I'd re-read it before you responded, so no cheating! c:
I'd just been having a blonde moment.
Being of a light-haired nature, I do suppose I have a right to a few of those. (;
You aced the ending.
Ignore me.
<3

Also, I forgot to say your writing is absolutely incredible and a real pleasure to read. I hope you'll be around for a long time.

Read this all in one go yesterday and I have to admit, the ending really got to me. It was both heartbreaking and infuriating. I could not be looking more forward to the sequel! <3

@ fall0ut
Oh my goodness, you have absolutely, positively without a doubt made my day! I appreciate everything you've said far more than I will be able to tell you. Your comment alone has my mind spinning with ideas to write, so thank you. Thank you thank you thank you thank you. I am more than happy that you enjoyed this story, because that means everything to me. I am in the process of writing a sequel, in which I hope to see you around for. So, in conclusion: thank you, gracias, merci, much obliged, thanks, you're awesome, you rock AND roll. ♡

My god. I might be a little late finding this gem, but I'm very glad I did. I wasn't put-off by the short chapters; if anything I was sad it didn't go on longer. Your writing style is...for lack of a better word, perfect. It's beautifully descriptive and it flows wonderfully. I envy how collected you are in your writing. I'm pretty scatterbrained in mine. The ending was unexpected and heart-wrenching, since I kind of fell in love with Logan and Billie. But a writer takes the path they see the clearest, so I can understand why you went that direction. All the same, I adore this story and you're a flawless writer. Don't stop posting your work, it's beautiful. Thank you.

@ addictedsevenfold.

Wow. I've reread your comment over and over and over again because it is honestly one of the most beautiful, encouraging, and just plain nicest things anyone has ever said to me. It makes me so incredibly happy because that's exactly what I was aiming for with this story. I started it when I was a freshman in high school and didn't really have any direction. Or motivation, so the chapters seemed to come along every six months and everything was choppy. And I was nervous that nothing would quite go together. I just have little patience and when I get in the mood to write, I want to write it then and there and then share it: that's why the chapters are mostly short. But more so than that, there was always a certain emotion that I wanted to capture in the chapter and it just seemed I was able to accomplish that more efficiently when they were short. I don't know. I'm rambling for no real reason. I just appreciate everything you've said so much, because if your comment was the only comment I had ever received on this story--or if you were the only reader I ever had, that would be okay. Because you understood this story the way I wanted it to be understood, and even more. Because I sure know that your response summed it up better than I could ever get my words to say.

With everything I have in me, thank you thank you thank you. ♡

Holy. Shit.
That pretty much sums up my reaction to this story. For one, because this isn't the kind of writing style that I usually read, but there I was, reading it from start to stop without pausing even though I really, really needed to hurry the fuck up and get my ass to class... and two, because I really can't think of words to describe my reaction.

I usually absolutely despise stories that are comprised of short chapters that are only fragments of the story itself, but this... this was really just perfect. For once, the use of short chapters didn't feel like fragments, but precious little flashes and images. The... I can't think of the right word, so... anonymity? of it all just seemed so perfect. And your writing itself! The way you write is just so serene, so absolutely and breathtakingly beautiful. I had tears in my eyes throughout half of this story, and not only the parts that were supposed to be sad. And not really because it was sad, but more because it was just so consumingly, overwhelmingly emotional. So overwhelmingly beautiful. I really don't know how to communicate to you exactly how intense of an experience it is to just read this; the story itself isn't intense, but reading it is. Your writing just perfectly captures the emotions of the story and really makes the reader feel them, and not at all in a forceful way, but in a painfully delicate way. I imagine in a way not unlike how painfully delicate Billie Joe's kisses must have felt to Logan.

And I wasn't confused at all by the ending! You didn't screw anything up at all, love! It might be easier to understand if one reads it through so that the emotions really flow rather than just jumping into a chapter one at a time, but it made complete sense to me. I wasn't happy with her decision, because it obviously wasn't a happy ending there, but that's really just another thing that made this story so beautiful. Her not blowing up on him, her suddenly just lying there happily with him, that not only wouldn't have fit the story, but it really would have destroyed the beauty of everything you've written.

Seriously, I don't know what else I can say. Bravo, and thank you so very much for posting this so that I could stumble upon it and really just sit here in awe.

OMG THIS STORY OMG.. <3

@xPoison_n_Blood
@Lunacy.Fringe.
Ughhhhh! I feel like I screwed this all up. I didn't realize it would be so confusing because I guess since it's in my head, I can see it so perfectly. :((( She blew up on him because she's afraid of him and whatever relationship there is, and she's afraid of him and how he makes her feel, so she's pushing him away... :'(((((

I don't understand...Why did she do that?
I'm so confused...

I was a bit confused by this.
It seemed out of no where.
Maybe I'd forgotten something from earlier chapters.
But all the same, I loved the update! I hope you get the sequel up quick!<33

I like this, for the fiirst two chapters I was a little edgy about the way it was written but it's good, it only makes it better :) Update when you can!

I just squealed really loud.
I hope I didn't wake up anyone!
HAHA!

This is just too adorable. <3 can't wait for the final chapter! :3

Too short, too great, UPDATE!!!!!!

Awww!!!!
SQUEE!!!!

Are you still willing to update the story? I hope you do!
