FS for January: Something Beautiful by Pengi
RokofAges75:
It would be great as an original fiction!
Sakabelle:
Congrats Hannah! This one has always been on my to-read list, I've heard nothing but really great things about it. :)
Carter-Orange:
I absolutely loved this story! Not many stories make me cry, but this one did. It was a real rollercoaster of a story and so beautifully written. It would be great as original fiction too. Sorry to hear about your Mum though, that must've been tough :(
RokofAges75:
Seriously, this story reminded me why I love fanfic so much. It brought me back to the days of waiting desperately for updates on the stories I was reading. Luckily, you never kept me waiting long, with your multiple updates a day and how fast you churned this one out LOL. The last story I found myself checking several times a day to see if it had been updated was Swollen Issues II, and that was back in like 2003. I read a lot of great, new stories in 2010, but in terms of addicting, Something Beautiful takes the cake! It's the perfect story for me, though... Frick 'n' Frack, tearjerker drama, but with lots of comic relief, a little mystery/intrigue, and a bit of romance. If I had to give a recipe for the perfect fanfic in my world, that would probably be it.
Pengi:
Losing my mom was really hard, but like they say - what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I feel like her death really motivated me to get moving to do the things I wanted/needed to do in MY life that I just wasn't doing when I was in the "comfort zone" before. Like writing and going to college and many other things.
The original fiction version of Something Beautiful is something I've been kicking around for awhile now. I might post it as I write it, if anyone's interested in checking it out. The thing is, I'd want to keep the name Nick for the main character - the character that is written as Brian in the story, so it might get a little confusing for those that've already read the story. LOL The character Nick (not Nick Carter, but my original fiction character Nick) is one that's been in my heart for a very, very long time, waiting for his story to be written... It was really rough writing Something Beautiful and using that character type but saying "BRIAN" every time!! In fact, I bet if a couple beta-readers combed the story, they'd find a couple flub ups where I wrote the wrong name! LOL
I'm so very glad that so many people enjoyed the story. It was really exciting to write it and to experience the reaction that people had to it. I love the reviews I've gotten for the story and everyone's comments. It means a lot to me! Thank you so much.
