Featured Story of the month for March 2008 - Prevailing Fate by Nijntje

<< < (7/8) > >>

Alright...I am here! Are you ready? First of all CONGRATS on making story of the month. Second of all I would like to give you both props...when reading the story (which I read prolly in like January) I couldn't tell when the story switched writters, you both were able to make it flow. I have written stories with friends before and you could TOTALLY tell the differance in writting styles or whatever. Overall the story was REALLY REALLY well written.

Next, I think you portrayed Nick and the emotions of a cancer patient REALLY well. You made sure to give details on his ever changing emotions and difficuly in dealing with the disease. He wanted to be strang but yet in that situation you have to lean on others and it can be very hard...I think you pin pointed the struggle that a person deals with when they realize they CAN'T be strong any more. (I have seen a few people go through it.)

I liked that you bunked him with AJ and the special bond that they kind of formed there. How AJ had to help him out SOOOO much but bore it on his shoulders without spilling it to the guys. You made AJ a really good friend. It was sweet how he tried to be so strong for Nick. But, I have to admit, I loved it when AJ blew up and finally told all the guys about having to listen to Nick puke and all the things Nick said to him.

Alright...so now I will quit my rambling...I think you get the idea that I enjoyed the story  ;D Again...great job...it was extremely well written...and I don't usually read this type of story  ;)  So, in closing...MAD PROPS! MAD PROPS!

We only have a few more days of March left, so are there any final thoughts either of you have about your story? Any funny anecdotes or stories you'd like to share with the class?

Nijntje:
Hmm.. not anything I can think of right now actually..

Nijntje:
Actually, I do have one question..
Did any of you that said you would give the story a shot, read a chapter or two??
Just wondering if people read it and figured it was so bad that they didn't comment.. or that you just didn't have the time to read it.. or any other reasons why hardly anyone commented..

I'm not angry or anything, just curious as to why there has hardly been any talking about PF.. I mean, I know how life can get and I too haven't read ALL the featured stories.. so no worries, I'm not gonna bite any of you.. Just curious.

Thanks Mare for being Oprah lol.. and thanks alota_cookin for your amazing review!! :)

I know for me personally I didn't get to it this month like I had intended to. I had read some of it earlier and I did cheat and read a few chapters out of order lol because I wanted to know how it all turned out. Yes i'm one of those annoying people who sometimes reads the last chapter of a story before reading the entire thing. I have sucked in all fields fanfic though, so we already know this about me.

If you read most of these featured story threads, it's all the same thing Nijntje. It's usually only a few people commenting during the course of the month and the thread almost turns into a chat thread between those few people. I know it sucks and personally that's why I have reservations about having my own month because I won't even have me to keep it active lol It's usually those same people that always say they are going to read the story but never do as well lol so take that with a grain of salt.

I know a lot of people have read your story though, you can tell from all the reviews from the actual story itself and from what i've read, i've enjoyed it. It's well written and thought out and of course very very sad.

You guys should be proud of your hard work. Don't let a lack of feedback in this thread get to you. Sometimes people don't even bother clicking on this board at all.
