Your History of Silence - Comments

I really really like this story so far! The opening chapter of Joel is very detailed and interesting to read. I really enjoyed it, describing him leaving a job he doesn't really like, changing out of his strict, dressy clothes to go play a show in a bar, describing something he loves, and everything he sees, like all the faces in the crowd.

I'm personally not a fan of Good Charlotte, but I've heard of them, and heard Joel's vocals on All Time Low's Bail Me Out. On that note, this story is really easy to get into, even if you're not a fan of, or familiar with the characters, songs and stories within the fic, which really opens it up to a bigger audience because of how versatile the narrative and plot is.

Overall, I think you have an amazing story going! I already subbed, so I'll be back to read the next update. Amazing work, I really enjoyed reading it. :)

Your summary was nice, as it gave readers a nice tease. The content itself was entertaining.

The hook in chapter one was my favorite so far because you described his actions flawlessly. I liked that he was yawning, mostly because I’ve never read much stories that start off with this deed. I think you got into your character’s mindset effortlessly, as I could definitely feel his tone in the chapter. I do wonder about Joel’s feelings, though. I became curious to why he’s feeling down~ perhaps irritated. Nathan’s character was nicely introduced. At first he seemed rather annoyed as well, but I later realized (through him saying, there’s food here and being late will cost you) that he cares about Joel. I actually found the band bickering entertaining to me, it just makes me another feel of their personalities and I loved that a lot.

Overall, I think you have a promising plot on your hands because your characters are impeccable and your plot is interesting. Great job!

The next chapter will answer your question

Is this story going to be a romance between Charlotte and Joel?

I really like this!

To see one of the bands I listened to before my teens regain popularity is amazing. :D

Hello!

I'm sorry it took me too long to actually get back to commenting this piece.

Okay, first of all, I love your description from the beginning. As you started the story, you can tell that Joel doesn't like what he's doing, that he hates singing for that crowd and you just can tell he wants to be anywhere else but there. And his boss is such a shit, I kind of hate him and I have a feeling he's gonna bring a lot of troubles to Joel in later chapters.

I like the interaction between characters and I definitely adore how you differentiate the two sisters. Vivien and Charlotte. Vivien, the rebellious one and Charlotte the level-headed one. I'm kind of rooting for Charlotte to end up with Joel instead Vivien for some reason.

AND I love Benji! In GC, he's been my favorite since I was 13! And I like the way you portray him in this. And his little suggestion to Joel. Even though, yeah, admittedly it's selfish of him to suggest Joel to 'use' Charlotte but we can see where he's coming from. It's not easy to make it in the industry and they need 'contact', to meet the right person at the right time.

All in all, I love this fic so far. You have a really good writing style. Your writing flows nicely and your descriptions are top notch without it being overdone and overwhelm the readers. Good luck for the rest of the story!

Just finished reading this. And really, this story was perfection.
I really got attached to Joel's character from the start, and now I'm kinda curious on how they will make it big. Thought he summary has given us a fair idea.
Hope you update soon. You're an amazing writer!

Oh my god! A Good Charlotte fanfic! Such a rarity over here. I can't leave proper comment now because I'm not on my laptop and I hate writing review comment on my phone. I'll come back later.
