faerietaleredux chapter 22 . 1/22/2010 Turns out you wrote two chapters since I read last. It worked out in my favor to read this one later though. Because it leaves you with such a happy feeling. The calm before the storm. This review is decidedly short to make up for the monster than was last one. Man. I'd be scared if that thing invaded my 'inbox.' o_0 |
faerietaleredux chapter 23 . 1/22/2010 Apparently you updated this eons ago and I didn't realize. Maybe it was while I was gone... All I know is I come back, and you've written all these stories! I have so much to catch up on. It's something to be happy about though. There's something about the flow of this fic that is and has always been so seamless. The dialogue always progresses in a way that feels real, and natural, and yet still furthers the story. It's a complicated ballance that not everyone is able to achieve. I have really hopes, because it's starting off with Shane, Mitchie, and Nate being simultaneously content (if not actually happy). Here's to hoping it stays that way. I'm pretty sure I said it before, but I can relate to Mitchie in odd ways. I wouldn't want to face anyone either. And I have those conversations with my friends too when they're forcing me along these uncomfortable scenarios because it's the grown up thing to do. The awkward tension between Shane and Mitchie feels just right. It's supposed to be there. But, it won't necessarily always be. Oh, great. There goes Caitlyn making a fuss. Oy. “Okay, who has room for a piece?” You know what I love about this line? That if you hear it spoken (which you would if watching dialogue played out), it sounds like he's inferring that she wants "peace"-as in a kind of quasi-peaceful resolution for them all. That's intentional, right? Even if it's not, I like the subtle double meaning. “You weren’t there to see their big fight,” I shook my head. “I’ve never seen Caitlyn so angry.” I should probably read that scene over again. I might be able to understand where Caity's coming from more. “I don’t want to hate her.” That sentence says so much. It makes me sad in a way. But it's how you feel sometimes. THis strange tug of war between your immediate feelings and your overarching desires. I don't know how to describe what it feels like to see Caity and Mitchie defend their complete loss of faith in each other's friendship. I've got to give you props for stirring up an emotion I can't even begin to describe. It's more than a dissapointment. Hmmn.. More than shock. I don't know what else yet. Do you think that guys can more readily forgive eachother than girls? I'm trying to wrack my brain for personal examples, and most of them confirm that. The "guy" bond is pretty strong. Strong enough to weather a lot of betrayals. And, in general, women often work against each other. I'm not trying to make a generalization here. But, just kind of writing my thoughts. Ignore me if I'm too confusing tonight. It's been a while since I read/reviewed anything. Plus, I'm sick so my mind is a little loopier than usual. Ok, now keep in mind what I just said about my mental state when I post this theory. Could Caitlyn subconsciously have been jealous that Mitchie has had both the boys Caity loves (In a way, especially with their friendships on the mend, Mitchie has "had her cake and ate it too"). And maybe Caity's sense of fairness can't handle it. Just an idea. Oh no. I feel things going downhill very fast. These kids just refuse to stay happy, don't they? (Ignore my pouting. I'm frustrated with them. Not you ;)) -gasp- The scene where you describe Mitchie "figuring it out" (whatever "it" is) is great. And then she says I love you and it's almost creepy. Like she's been a kind of evil mastermind all along, we just didn't realize it. Love it. But then I love crazy characters like that. WHo have all this subtext going on beneath what the audience consciously observes. It's those characters for whom surprise is an understatement. Oh my. The tension in the room is rising. I'm preparing myself for the blowup. -flinches- IS Mithie thinking what I think she's thinking? Eep. And what if she's right? Or at least partially right. ... Have I ever told you how bad I am with suspense? The real kind, where I don't know exactly what's going to happen but I can feel it all the same? It's why I tend to skip to the end of books before I finish them and leave the room during especially stressful film scenes. I feel the urge to leave now. Alright, I'll admit I did leave for a second. I might even have to just skim over this section because I'm seriously invested in all their reactions and it's going to give me a heartattack. I don't see how this could end well. AH Mitchie? I wish you could have just kept that realization to yourself. Of course it's true. But don't bring it up in front of Nate. I don't want you to ruin what you have with them. Oh my. I'm afraid to read his reaction. I don't think he's processed it all yet. I'm sure I sound like a crazy person in this review. Maybe I should edit some of my more tangent-y comments? I definitely should. But the task looks daunting (is this my longest review yet? it's been a while so I'm not the best guage) so I think I'll just leave it. Hope you're doing well, Kelly. |
Danielle chapter 23 . 1/20/2010 This Is So Good! I'm Always Intrigued! Its A Story That You Wanna Make Go On Forever 3 Can You Update Soon! I've Been Waiting For Aggeess & I Don't Think I Can Take It Anymore! |
of self chapter 23 . 10/7/2009 I swear I was so afraid for this chapter because I didnt want to end up hating Caitlyn if what I suspected turned out to be right. I am so thankful it turned out this way, cause even fanfic sometimes heavily affects the way you perceive a character and I wouldnt have wanted to hate Caitlyn. She is one of my faves. While I did figure out she liked Shane, I am so terribly glad to know that she didnt act on it. Her attitude towards Mitchie makes sense then. I guess she expected Mitchie to adhere to the same standards she followed. Not that Mitchie is a bad person or anything, I think it's just that Caitlyn sets herself a much higher level of standards, which are sometimes sort of inhumnaly impossible ones. They are certainly noble though and that's just what I love about her. I love Jason being the glue that holds them together. It sometimes must kill, knowig stuff and then see everything blow up in front of you. It's also becomes a burden you wish you didnt carry. What I like the most is that he knows both the sides to both stories and he's equally on Mitchie's and Caitlyn's side. Shane is clueless. Period. Nate too. Mitchie, I never really liked her much in the first place -I believe I have only told you this a gazillion times so please forgive me here. Her character always irked me but in this, I think there was definite line crossing. I seriously cant tell you how glad I am that her 'Caitlyn is a hypocrite theory' was wrong. But I guess I understand her saying whatever she did. it's no fun being the person who not everyone will look in the eye. It makes you feel like even more of a worm than usual and also it gets on your nerves. After all, you can only atone so much right? Sigh. You made me sympathize with her even though I don't like her. Evil Person. I wish things weren't so grey sometimes. BUT, I am still TEAM Caitlyn all the way. :D Lovely chapter and I look forward to the ending. :) |
CHIKEESxBBY chapter 23 . 10/4/2009 omg this chapter was really good |
LaPaige chapter 23 . 10/3/2009 I love this chapter. I'm glad you write it like real life - they won't be best friend straight away, things will never be the same and I love how you captured that. You're a brilliant writer, everyone is in character and the plot is really good. I'm looking forward to the next chapter, but I don't want the fic to end :( |
LiveLaughLoveFP chapter 23 . 10/2/2009 All my favourite stories are ending! This was a good chapter. I never really made the connection about Shane and Caitlyn. Cool twist! |
anonymous chapter 23 . 10/2/2009 please update this is a good story, you could add more fluff though. please update, thanx... |
suburbs chapter 23 . 10/1/2009 You're welcome as always. And I got my hint of Shaitlyn. I loved how you had him so sure Mitchie was wrong - that he had NO clue what was going on. And that Jason was the only one who knew what was happening the entire time. I love your Jason. Of course, Mitchie was a total jerk in this - trying to make herself feel better by trying to find fault in Caitlyn. I totally don't blame Caitlyn was not wanting to make up. |
of self chapter 22 . 9/15/2009 Don't worry about it taking so late. I know the feeling. Real life sometimes demands, and very rightfully so that you pay attention to it. sigh. Anyhow, onto the review In a way, I am glad Mitchie is finally seeing sense. Caitlyn tearing into her may have made her all the more defensive but sometimes it takes that outside perspective to really make you see what you have been doing wrong. I swear I wanted to whack her though when she said that maybe Nate shouldn't be with her. It would have tragic if that was the case because this is something that not only affected both of them but also the rest of the group. I mean, everyone else got pulled into. I'm glad Nate didn't take that to heart. I don't like Nate/Mitchie that much(I read this because you are way too awesome to pass up) but even I can see that that did not feel right. I mean you both angsted and hedged around for so long, it was about time you got together. Shaitlyn!Yay!So much love right now. But this brings up some unpleasant questions for me. Since when did they start flirting. Cause if it were around the same time as Nate and Mitchie too and then I'd very sadly have to be angry at them too. Maybe I am thinking too much about this though. I'm a little mad at Nate though-sometimes he's a little to brusque and a little too blinded. I cant blame him for it but I do feel a wee bit mad at him. I also liked the small detail of Jason going with Peggy and Ella to see the movie- which I need to see!- it seems such a sweet thing to do, very Jason. I know Caitlyn and Jason had only one line between them but I still loved it because I guess it shows that special bond between Jason and Caitlyn. Caitlyn seems like she wouldn't be gentle with most people but with Jason it's a different thing. There I go once again focusing on the small details. Anyhow great chapter and I shall wait patiently for the next part and hope it only brings a lot of happiness to everyone involved. :) |
LiveLaughLoveFP chapter 22 . 9/15/2009 My Camp Rock-sense is tingling! I sense Shailyn in the making. Good chapter but I thought that the whole "I'm too good for you" thing was melodramatic. We really didn't need that. Maybe if it was at the end of a chapter as a cliffhanger, it would've been different. Still, good work! |
