    Ahh, it is so refreshing to come across something this flawlessly written... I love this story! I mean, the fact that I have a mini-obsession with Pete Wentz doesn't hurt, but I felt equally attached to Sarah's character. I especially liked your use of fragmented sentences -- my favorite ex., "Lipstick. Note. Gone." -- I think those were really powerful. I also appreciate that you left the ending slightly unresolved to keep me wondering if they could manage the long-distance relationship (in my own mind they do, haha). Anyways, I'm glad I stumbled across this!

    I think you did a good job writing from the make point of view! It is very hard to do a gender swap, but you did great! In the bits where Pete an Sarah were dancing, you did a good job explaining how the dancing was for him. Boys are never as comfortable as dancing as girls are, so I like that you pointed that out!

    First of all, I'd like to say that I loved the song... Like, a lot. Almost as much as I liked the story! Super well written, with great grammar and spelling. The story itself was a little predictable, but written well enough to keep the reader going anyway! (trust me, it's a compliment!) I also liked how you didn't start from the very beginning, but more towards the middle. It give it a little more suspense to what they were doing. Overall, great job!

    I love this song. Seriously love it. This is a good take on it, I really enjoyed reading it. I think you did well writing in his point of view, and in general I think it's written well. No mistakes that I can see, which is awesome 'cause that can be really distracting. I thought this flowed really well and was just a good read :) i think I'll go check out more of your writing now

    Wow, just … wow. I really loved your story; the plot, the lyrical basis, the characters, the band, the flow of the story and the poetic way your spelled out this story. I’m almost sad it was a one-shot. Your spelling was amazing, and the grammar just the same :) I hope you had just as much enjoyment in writing this as I did reading it!

    Hi, I'm from commentswap:) I do like Fallout Boy, but I had never heard of this song. I might have to go take a listen. But anyway, this was a very good story. I loved the description of the city and everything.. Made me actually feel like I could picture New York even though I haven't been there. Keep it up!

    I realy like this because it sta described how I felt? I don't know of tht makes any sense of not. I wonder how the layout looked but I guess I won't get to find out because the new mibba changed everything!;o I hope it was beautiful for this beautiful story. But are you sure you don't want to keep writing? I don't know I just loved the way you wrote this. It all flowed really nicely and you gave a lot of detail and that is what I like in story!

    I like Fall Out Boy, but I don't know this song, I did enjoy this however.

    I haven't read anything like this before, at least, nothing that has stuck with me like I think this will. It was beautifully written and it was easy to read with the layout (always a plus).

    Nice work :)
