That was ridiculously cute and adorable. The most impressive thing that struck me about it was that it was totally 100% unique. I have never read anything like it.

Gah! I'd write a longer response, but I have to go before my computer dies and my mother has a fit (because I've been putting off chores =/).

Thank you! ♥ I always, always aim for there to be something unique about my stories. No one ever wants to read the same story over and over again. So I try to give one of the character's a different personality, or I come up with an odd style of writing, or I create a strange setting or plot. It just makes it a lot more fun for me to write and for others to read.

And don't put off the chores for too long! I wouldn't want your mum to ground you from the computer! XD

Your effort shows, that has to be one of the most unique ideas I've seen. Ever. But you're right about that, and it does wind up being interesting for us readers ^_^

Again (while I have time now), this story is one of my current favorites of yours. You play all characters out logically, your setting is interesting.... All in all, awesome!

lol, I think you say each new story I post is your favorite! (Not that I mind or anything, I just think it's sweet of you to say that about each one. XD)

*hugs* Thanks, love! :)

It's because you keep improving.

I know I do, and a lot of what you are reading is actually old stuff! XD All of the bios and Match Me were written way back in June or July. But I can see the difference between things I posted in like March and the things I'm writing now. (And my stuff from years ago is really painful to read! XD) It really amazes me how much my writing has changed! I think that's true for anyone though. You could probably look at your writing and see the same thing. :)

Way back in June or July - that makes it sound like a year ago when it's only been a month or two. I get that with my old stuff too - it's almost physically painful to read stuff from middle school now.

Well, I've been working on a lot of techincal aspects of my writing between July and now, and I can really see differences in my writing. If you haven't yet, I would see about reading some articles about "proper" writing. After all, you have to know the rules before you can break them! XD But I really have improved and I can see faults in other's writing now a lot more and I can tell why GOOD writers are GOOD. XD

I've read a couple books on it that were fairly helpful, and yeah, I see what you mean.

(Sorry about the half assed reply - my brain just kind of keeled over and died)

Haha, I understand. Mine does that at a certain time of night. I was amazed when I started reading about writing just how much I DON'T know. I thought I was a good writer, but I know now that I need a LOT of work. It's kind of humbling. =/

I totally know what you mean, and on top of that there's so much that's so obvious that it should be common sense but it's not. I think everyone thinks they need work (maybe that's why there's improvement).

There are things that I've learned that are something I do normally, so it's obvious they are common sense and I just have to remember to do them properly. For other things though, it's hard to remember to do them or I know they are good things to do, but I don't want to mess with them. lol.

I dunno. I just keep writing and hoping I get better!
