    I do not have any wit in me tonight (I'm outta onion too I'm afraid) but that last scene should be framed and hung.
    Hung as in nailed to a wall or ''off with her head!" hung, I do not know.
    SWLLM, I adopt you as my thought processor. She has untangle the globby mess that is my brain and written my mind in perfect order, witty and onionified to perfection. I'll just 'like' her comment and pretend I wrote the same thing.

    As a token of my vegetable-ness, I willingly give her MY Leon and unsuffocate her.(:

    You know what I hate about stories on Mibba or the internet? I hate that I randomly stumble over a fucking amazing story with lots and lots of wonderful chapters for me to read and catch up on. But when I have caught up, I have to WAIT. Urgh, why do you have to write so wonderfully?! I'm so freaking hooked. I can't agree that I haven't swooned once or twice over Leon. He's just so sexy! This story really reminds me of The Notebook. Like how the story is being told to someone else and how she has memory lapse. But I absolutely love it. And the way you've written it...? Oh god.
    Please, please, please update often. Or I'll die. And you'd have a murder on your hands. Not pretty, at all. ♥

    Oh my god I think I'm going to cry of pure joy.

    That... was... so... cute. I can't even beging to tell you how much I loved that. I mean I knew their first kiss was going to be arriving soon, but the way you did it was beautiful and passionate and it was really lovely. And I love how she's all happy with james and carefree and then Leon pisses her off and she wants to jump his bones. (Everyone wants to jump his bones).

    God I love Leon. I think I'm seriously going to have trouble getting out of bed when he dies. I don't even know what I'll do but there will be a lot of crying. I love his complex character and all of his secrest and how he gets a thrill out of making Mr. Lactose crazy. I'm betting that Mr. Lactose and Leon's mother had an affair or something scandalous like that. And it will be a a beaitufl story.

    I really do like James though, Thank God.

    But I love leon wayyyyyy more.

    Dear SWIAOEP,

    Okay.

    Step One – take a deep breath.
    Step Two – scream until your heart stops beating.

    Image


    Ahhhh…. I can’t… You-why-how-ugh-huh? I’m such a fangirl. Andi, you’re such a beautiful writer. You hear me? You’re beautiful!

    Excuse me while I freak out over this chapter.

    <screams into pillow> Okay. I’m good now.

    Let me think… where to begin? I know: LEON. Ah! Oh! Oooh! Sexy! Amazing! I love him! He’s, uhm, excuse me for taking liberty on this, but Leon is a beautiful disaster. He’s this maze of uncertainty and unattainability and confusion and he plays everyone like fiddles whilst being endlessly played by himself. You are fantastical for making me feel what he feels. My heart broke for Leon in this chapter. Thinking about his mother’s funeral? “The air was dead.”?

    May I also take the opportunity to say, Damn You. Why won’t you just let us know what’s going on already? What is with Leon, seriously?! “I know you didn’t mean any harm”? Put me out of my screaming agony and fess up already! What did he do? Why does he hate Phoenix’s father so much? What the bloody hell is going on?

    You’re just so talented, and I hate to love you for it.

    I think Leon’s being a little hypocritical with himself without realizing it. Accusing his Uncle of plastering on a fake smile, really? Come on Leon, like you think we can’t see that the smirk you hide behind is fake too? His family doesn’t deserve him, I hope you know that. This broken boy needs to be loved and nurtured and explored with tender passion!

    (That last part is my job, I hope you know!)

    May I also just say that I think you have captured perfectly the idea behind some of the more sophisticated man sluts? They go with girls because they can, but they find it boring without the chase. You totally understand exactly what guys think like, and I’m floored and so jealous. I also absolutely adore the repetitive statements “I hated this church” and “I hated this town”. You convey so much with so little, and you need to be commended for that. Very few accomplished authors have the talent for magical writing that you do.

    Furthermore, I want to attribute my special attention to your ridiculous ability to develop storyline. Part of the reason some of the stories on here aren’t so good is because they don’t develop like books do. You are one of the few people on here capable of doing so. I love you for that. However, you also make me wish your characters existed in real life so I can know them personally, but I can’t. So I hate you for that. Well, no, but it hurts, okay? =]

    Seriously, WTF is going on with Joseph Lacoste and the Sinclair family? Why are they so fastidiously loathsome of each other? I don’t understand!

    Yeah, well done for that. The ability to aggravate readers makes you a fantastic writer, as much as I hate to admit it.

    Okay, now we’re up to the <breathe> hyperventilating part.

    The dancing.

    Let me begin by saying, jealous Leon is almost as sexy as angry Leon. I don’t think you could have crafted this more perfectly. The whole exchange between Pheonix and Leon and how Leon immediately decided he didn’t like James because he was able to make Phoenix laugh…. All I have to say is; Leon, baby, I totally agree. I mean… James is so nice, but I still want to hate him. Because how dare he get to have a happy ending with Phoenix when Leon doesn’t? That smarmy lovely douchebag is going to steal the girl =/

    Behind the stage… [excuse me if I can’t articulate at this point].

    Image


    Ooh, Nixie, I see what you’re doing, dangling James in front of Leon with all this scholarship nonsense and being so nice – you’re trying to make my man jealous. Well, back off! No, not really. Kudos, Andi, this is magical. I’m losing adjectives to describe how marvellous your writing is!

    However, I am confused/angry/livid.
    ”And in any case, he’s a lot better kisser than--”

    1) Hang on… is she implying she’s kissed James already? What a lip slut! Tehehehe…
    2) Wait, WHAT?! She’s making a comparison? HAS SHE KISSED LEON BEFORE? WHAT IS THIS? GAHAHAUSANJSJOJHAPKHSPJBLJSN.

    <smacks head onto keyboard>

    You… <breathes heavily and creepily like a stalker> I bet Leon’s a wonderful kisser.

    And… the first L/P kiss of the story is sensational! I always think kissing a girl in a jealous rage whilst determined to make her shut up about the other damn guy is phenomenal. I’m calling it… the kiss of the century =]

    (However, if I kissed Leon, it would be the kiss of all time.)

    For someone who is not used to writing “this sort of thing”, I think you did a marvellous job. Of course, being the creepy Leon stalker that I am, I would have loved some earth-shattering metaphors showing how extraordinary the kiss was, but I relent. Your simplicity has something so special about it.

    Once again, I have written too much.
    I do love you. Almost as much as I love Leon, because you created him.
    ‘Til next time, Andi.

    I absolutely adore this story, I can't get enough!
    It's got a sad twinge to it as I know the ending of their love story before the story is even over, but that is also what makes it so brilliant.
    you write so well, and I can't wait for the next update!

    To She Who Is Awesome Of Epic Proportions (SWIAOEP);

    I am dying, Andi.

    I just… I want you to know that I haven’t ever cried while reading a story. And, in all honesty, I’m not sure if you even intended for it to be sad. It’s just that – oh, Leon, if I could only hold you I would make everything okay! You’ve made me see him in a completely new light, which I didn’t even think was possible.

    He’s still undeniably sexy.

    So, you had me going for a while, you know? I kept thinking, ‘oh, you pranking, sexy Leon. You just keep getting your way, don’t you?’, followed by an intense bout of ‘Sexy Leon, what did you do to make your father distrust you so much? Why must you be so ridiculously attractive in every way?’.

    But then you throw that poem at me.

    And I just know it’s all a façade, and that he’s broken and hurting inside. It’s not his fault his mother killed himself, or that his brother is a dick, or that his dad is an asshole. He bears everything on his shoulders and he hides it all with a smirk that, all of a sudden, I can see right through. You don’t ever meet boys like this in real life, I swear it.

    Why did you do this to me? I wish I had written this. I want to have ownership of your perfection. I want to pass it off as my own.

    When Leon waltzes his way through dinner with Sophie’s parents, I’m inclined to think that he’s both much more reserved and intelligent than he lets on. The witticisms are fantastic, and the way he behaves – without ever denying anything – makes him seem like he might have an extra motive and oh my word he’s so damn awesome.

    Now after that we’re onto the future (or the past, from our point of view), and I have to concede to your marvellous and beautiful talent for time manipulation that makes sense and is totally beautiful. But I hate you. In my way – because I know from the short description for the story that the couple (and they’re not even together yet! What is that! How are you so brilliant?) don’t have a happy ending. Now, normally, I’m all for non-happy endings because they’re more real and makes the story stronger and stick with you. But how dare you break my heart like this. Phoenix old, and Leon dead? And she married some dweeb called James Watson who isn’t even half the man my Leon is!? I don’t want that to be the ending. I don’t want Leon to die. But I don’t want him to have been alive and never with Phoenix, either.

    I’m hurting. Please, Andi. I’m living in fear now.

    So, I know all the girls in town are in love with the boys, and such, but you’re just so brilliant in your criticism through Phoenix. “And last, Leon was just a big fat jerk. He winks at girls because he knows exactly how to get a reaction from them.” Seriously, you’re phenomenal.

    Over the following chapters, when they come to Natalie’s grave, it destroys me (and, OH MY GOD, SHE NAMED THEIR DAUGHTER AFTER HIS DEAD MOTHER? SHE LOVED HIM SO MUCH IT BREAKS ME TO PIECES BECAUSE I WANT HIM INSTEAD!). I can feel them slowly beginning to understand each other, and you’re building up that incredible tension thing you do. I can’t believe that you’ve written fifteen chapters, and they haven’t even kissed yet. What is with that? I’m angry and amazed and jealous and it feels so real I can’t even… GAH.

    Leon, being a big fat douche and singing outside her house? I love him even more. Where did you even come up with the idea for this? And you make me so involved in your story that I’m so impatient! I want to know why her father hates him so much! I want them to get together! I want everything to happen at once and I don’t even understand how your supposedly “bad” chapters make my work look like shit!

    Phoenix being stuck up in that attic, and Leon coming for her? That’s so romantic. I must profess my undying love for him right now. He’s supermegafoxyawesomehot.

    ”You’ve got a pretty daughter, Joey.”
    - This is my second favorite line to date (after “What if I was naked?”), because it’s so understated and it’s the first real indication that he sort of likes her, and he’s so charming and a bit of a git and everything you made him to be is so much more than perfect.

    The wedding was lovely. I’m happy for Oriole. However, I’m annoyed that you have introduced us to Phoenix’s furture husband, James. I’m annoyed that he’s nice. I refuse to like him. I am loyal to Leon ‘til the end.

    On that note, I want to have Leon Sinclair giving me a look I’ve never felt on me before!

    Give me your brain. I want to use your words to make millions.

    I’ll stop here, because I’ve written nearly two pages in Word. I’m really sorry for the long message, I just hoped to convey my adoration. You… I…. UGH. I wish I could do this. I love you, I hate you, I envy you, stop being so amazing and making me feel bad. Actually, scratch that last part. I need to know how the story plays out.

    - From She Who Leave Long Messages (SWLLM).
    Yes, I’m back. And I owe you an apology for being absent for so long.
    I hereby lay down my services as loyal commenter.
    Feel free to tell me I write too much in my responses. I’ll attempt to cut it down.
