FS for April: Curtain Call

<< < (2/11) > >>

RokofAges75:
LOL thanks, ZDR!  Right back at ya - double epic all the way!

Rose:
My favorite thing about this story, is how you write Nick. Which in first person, is no easy task. Yet I feel like you manage to make him very manly lol, and very Nick. I feel like it's what helps elevate the story up another level. I loved Broken (and you know that), but personally I feel Curtain Call is a better story now. :)

RokofAges75:
Thanks, Rose!  That means a lot, 'cause that is probably the hardest part of writing this story.  I don't write a lot of first person to begin with, but writing Cary's POV is usually pretty easy because she doesn't think much different from the way I do.  Nick, on the other hand, is very different and hard to relate to in every way; I have an easier time writing him from other characters' POVs than actually writing from his, but I wanted to tell his side of the story, so I try my best to get into his head.

I agree with what you said about him being more manly, even if that means he acts like an idiot LOL.  Especially compared to Broken, though; I love Broken Nick, but he was way more of a pussy LOL.  I think that's just the difference in me as a person; I was a melodramatic teenager when I wrote Broken, and I'm not quite like that anymore, so the story and characters aren't so melodramatic either.  Broken will always be my baby, but to me, that's the big factor that would make CC better.  Thanks! :)

Rose:
Exactly, the Boys are hard to capture sometimes in 3rd person, let alone first. But I love how you did it. And LOL@Broken Nick being more of a pussy. It's true, but it's okay *pets him* you cut off his leg.

So, tell us one thing about the story that no one knows, or few know? (That you can reveal anyway.)

FrickingKaos:
I agree with Rose, I do love how you have written Nick in this story....and the other boys as well. I also enjoyed reading how Nick and Cary's relationship developed in the course of the story so far. It seemed to flow very nicely. I never read Broken, so I can't compare notes. I think you have captured Nick's personality quite well in this story!
