Film Strips and Hockey Sticks - Comments

I forgot to mention this in the update earlier, but new content starts at chapter 10! (Or 11, if you bought the previous update)
​: )​​

@ Annemarie21
Yes, as soon as I finish it I will compile all the chapters into one book. I have around five more chapters to write, so it may be a few weeks depending on how busy I am. Thank you for asking! : )

Is there any way to buy the entire story as one set instead of in 5 parts?

IMPORTANT: In case you didn't read the update- I was able to make the chapters available FOR FREE on Amazon for 5 days. From April 6th until the 10th you can get it for FREE!

@ CrosGeno
Yes there will be more chapters! I plan to write about 5-10 more to finish the story up, and then the whole story will be available on Amazon. So you can either buy the new chapters now, or wait until the entire thing is done and read it then.
Thank you so much!! : )

I just finished reading the new chapters and omg why did you have to leave it on a cliffhanger like that?! Soooo glad I bought it! It was so good I think I'm going to read it again! I don't know what these guys are complaining about, it's worth the three dollars. Your writing is great don't listen to the haters. Can't wait for the rest of the story!

@ runawaycherry93
That is too bad that you can no longer read it, perhaps you can borrow it from one of the many people who have bought it.

I am really disappointed that that I can no longer continue with your story. I won't pay for a fan fiction story, but wish you the best and hope you change your mind.

@ HawkGurl93
The worse they could do is sue me for libel, and I have not said anything defamatory about the Pittsburgh Penguins or their organization, so they wouldn't have much to go on. As an academic librarian, I am well aware of the laws of copyright and the consequence of writing real person fiction- I wouldn't have gotten into it if I didn't. At this point, is my character 'Olli Maatta' a carbon copy of the real Maatta? They play both play hockey, and are from Finland, but the rest of the details I have made up. The same goes for the rest of the characters. If I changed the names of the characters and the teams, it would still be the same story, but no one would want to read it.
I understand that 'fan-fiction' is meant to be by fans and for fans, so it shouldn't matter if it is free, or if you are actually paying for my work.
Thank you for your concern, but I have done a lot of research before embarking on this project, and I am willing to face the consequences. The chances of the Pittsburgh Penguins finding this and reading it are quite low (but if they did I would be soooo embarrassed and probably just delete the whole thing!)

I too am disappointed that your work is not being posted on here any more. Having to buy it goes against the idea of fan fiction. Especially since you are using pre existing people. Have you though about the consequences? You are charging for using other people's likeness. It would be easy to sue you for copyright. I really hope you considered that and that things work out for you. You can not profit off of other people or organizations, so unless you are changing all names you are liable.

I fixed the new chapter, sorry if it wasn't opening when you clicked on it, but it should work now (so you can actually read what I wrote).

And @elizaonfire and @polishpearlsparis, sorry you will be missing out on the rest of the story! I knew I would lose some readers with the switch to Amazon, but that is your choice, and obviously I cannot force anyone to buy anything. FYI, I will not be posting these new chapters anywhere else, because Amazon does not allow you to do that.

If you really need to know why I am doing this, please send me a message. I am not going to try to guilt anyone into buying this by publicly posting some sob story about how poor I am. That's just not classy.

And, in a couple of months, you might be able to find some of my original fiction on Amazon : )

There will me more Olli and Hannah within a month or two, so keep your eyes peeled for the next 5-10 chapters!

Thank you for reading! You are all fantastic, and I hope some of you interested enough to keep reading! : )

I have to agree with the others. I fell in love with this story but I refuse to pay for it..... Sadly I'll just ever finish this story. I refuse to pay for fanfiction because there's so many of it readily available, if it was an original story on here, that'd be something different, but i refuse to pay for fanfiction.

I loved your story and am actually really disappointed that I will not be able to read the end. I loved your writing but am not willing to pay $9 to read it again in entirety. Really going to miss this story.

I love that they do things their own way:)

So happy they aren't doing the big wedding. I think small intimate weddings are so romantic!!

Oooooo!!! I loved this chapter!!!

This chapter she seems unsure of her commitment to Olli. I'm all about the I'm crazy about you kind of love!!

Love that her heart turned to mush when she saw Olli holding the baby:)

@ Thatmom
Yes thing's are finally looking okay for now!! : )

I'm so happy they seem to be even keeled again. I was worried about them:)
