So, so happy to see a new TS2 story! I love your writing, it really captures the action taking place along with the pictures (your pictures are wonderful too, love the close up shots with Johnny!), every moment throughout this chapter was clear without any confusion. I'm not a Strangetown buff by any means but even I understood everything going on perfectly, I hope to read more from you. :)

Agreed with eastvale on all counts.

The stark, empty backgrounds were an unusual choice, and I really liked that. And the actual writing was lovely, and a little mysterious (which I'm always down for). Too bad it's only a one shot, but I hope you intend to write more - especially stories involving the residents of Strangetown and Pleasantview.

I'm relieved to know you like it. :> When we discussed the sneak peek I hadn't even thought it looked mysterious, and I wasn't sure if you liked drama and romance lol. I definitely plan on writing more, especially after my first set of exams. I haven't played Pleasantview in a long time though, but I'll give them a try too.

Thank you! > u

Drama and romance aren't my favorites (my heart belongs to horror), but I like most sim stories regardless of the genre. Especially well-written ones that treat the characters as actual reasonable and believable humans (even the aliens) instead of bizarre caricatures. I also don't typically consider Ripp as anything other than a strict lady's man, but something about this, I don't know, it works for me (and I am clearly important /lies). Even though it didn't go super in depth, it just didn't strike me as slash for the sake of slash - I especially liked the bit about Johnny not pulling away when Ripp laced their fingers together. I'd be interested in reading more about them and their relationship, if you decide to expand upon it in future installments.

I'm excited to hear that you're going to write more! I can't wait to see what else you do with other pre-mades.

Thank you! Johnny's one of my favorites, although lately he's been bouncing between second and third rank lol. You'll see more of him in my writing for sure.

We're in the same boat - Johnny was for a long time my number 1...then I started working on (Un)Pleasantview and suddenly I came to adore Grim Reaper and Lolita Goth too. The three of them swap and change rank depending on my mood. Hehe.

I can't wait to see more of your work. You write beautifully.

Oh, how unloved he must feel lol. I've grown to really enjoy the Grim Reaper too after reading Fortune & Romance. And I can't wait to see what you have in store for us. o uo

D'aww, thanks. <3 I just wish writing didn't take so long.

To be honest, the quote from 'Sleepwalking' by BMTH got me here c: But i wasn't disappointed in what I found. This is really really well written!!! :O
Is there a back story to this as well, I'm assuming (from the comments) that Johnny has been around in stories before, and stuff has happened before this? Because I want to know more :o
