Pretty much this happened to me not too long ago and I can tell you honestly you did a really amazing job of running through everything Quinn was feeling and thinking. I love that it's a letter to Rachel too. You've always been one of my favorite fan fic authors, and even though this is a short one-shot, it definitely lives up to all your other amazing work. Keep writing, always.

Thank you so much for commenting and being willing to share that. My primary concern when writing a piece like this is making sure to keep it realistic to do justice to and honor the stories of survivors, and I'm glad that you felt I managed to stay true to what the experience might actually be like. Thank you again for reading and commenting!

Oh my gosh, wow.

That just killed me. Fantastic.

Have you ever read the book "Self" by Yann Martel? This was really reminiscent of that for me. Just... this was oh my gosh amazing. Felt real, great character... etc.

I haven't read it, but I might have to go look it up! Angsty, I'm guessing??

And the whole feeling real thing is probably because this is based off an interview with a survivor who lived through this experience. Granted, 1,900 of the 2,000 words are my own and completely original, but the original material drove the piece and definitely helped ground it in reality.

Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

Just...... omg. wow.

This is amazing. It was scary and poignant and very realistic. Thank you. Really.

Awww. Thanks for reading, and for the lovely comment. This was definitely a hard one to write =P

On a different note, I really hope you update your lovely massage fic soon =D

Oh I see what you're doing there ;)

It's being written... just... slowly. :P <3

This is so lovely and filled with emotion. I can totally feel what she's going through and it is to detail filled and realistic. What monologue is this based off of, if you don't mind my asking? I have a tendency to gravitate towards this kind of thing for auditions, and would love to see it.

Thank you so much for sharing :)

I can email you a copy of the entire script, if you're interested. It's a really difficult play to do, but it definitely would make for some awesome audition material if this is your type of thing =)

If you're interested in the script just message me with your email and I can send it on to you!

Thanks for reading and commenting!

I think your icon tells the story of what I'm feeling right now. It's pretty low. Don't worry. It's not triggery for me or anything, but yeah.

Now I wonder if I hadn't have pushed so hard, if school hadn't been so important... maybe it would have never happened.--This is the hardest line to read. Blaming oneself seems so cliche, but it's still sad to read about and probably happens more often than not.

This was beautiful, but jeez, so hard to read.
