Featured story of the month - January 2010 True Love Never Dies

<< < (3/3)

Sinara:
Do you have any favorite quotes or lines that stand out in True Love Never Dies: Well, I guess the ending lines stick out most because one of the quotes in it was the whole basis of the story. I found this quote written down on a piece of paper and it really got me thinking - and then I just started writing based on that quote.

--- Quote ---The look in his eyes reminded me of something that I had heard a long time ago that I finally understood: the only way love will survive is if the heart is true. Looking at Brian, it all made sense. Only when two people were completely committed to one another would their love survive the tests and trials of life. Brian and I had true love… life had shown us that. Together, we were unstoppable because true love never dies.
--- End quote ---


How has it be recieved as far as feedback and is there one chapter that has gotten more FB than the others? If so, why do you think that is?: So far, most of the responses have been fairly positive. I got one person that basically told me the exact same things I had been thinking (ei. Leighanne is too villainous, Mel is too victimized, stuff that I'd already been wanting to change when I get the chance to rewrite - stuff I didn't really understand when I was first starting out in characterizati on). As for the chapter with the most feedback - that seems to be chapter five. When I was first posting this story on livejournal, where I posted most of my stories before finding AC, I got three times the amount of comments on that chapter than any other chapter. Most likely, it had to do with it being the most physically intimate chapter in the story. That's my theory, anyway. 

If you had to change the ending of the story, would you and how would you make it different?: I think the story really only had one way to end. If I had done anything else, I wouldn't have felt fulfilled, and I don't think the people reading it would have been fulfilled and satisfied either.

Thanks for letting us feature you this month Katie. I'm a little behind schedule so even though it's February, if anyone else has anymore questions feel free to post them.

Thanks!

Wow have I really been gone that long. I missed an entire month. Congrats Katie! You deserved it! Sorry I missed it!

"8 ) You had to know this was coming, who was your least favorite?: My least favorite is Leighanne, just because I felt like I made her too one-sided and not fleshed out enough. If I had to rewrite this (which I am planning on eventually), I would make her a little more well-rounded and dynamic.  "


I had a follow-up to this question... You said that if you rewrite this story, you are going to portray Leighanne's character differently, and also that you were thinking she was too villainous.  Do you think this would, in turn, change the overall storyline at all, since she is a driving force for a lot of the conflict?  Or would you want to characterize her differently while keeping everything else intact?

Anyways, just finished reading the story, and I thought you had some good detail and dialogue throughout.  Congrats on being featured.  (I'm a little late, as January's over,but I thought I'd still comment.  :)  )
