Okay, so this could be coz I'm reading this on my mums laptop but the script is all messed up for me? The italic part is fine but the regular part, all the names are in the beginning of the sentense making it pretty much un-readable :( Such a shame too coz judging on the italic-parts it's a beauty that deserves reading!

Will check back later on my own computer to see if I have the same problems with it on there *fingers crossed I don't*

PS; Sorry for whining over scripts again lol Seems like I do that too often for your fics :p haha It's just that I love them so much and I hate to see the script messed up as that doesn't do the fic justice ;)

The script was also messed up for me... I just fill in the blanks myself while reading, but I agree... the story is beautiful and heartbreaking, it needs to be told properly...
Scripting issues aside... I'm sensing there will be a sequel, right? Please put me out of my misery and tell me there will be one! Oh, and that song is beautiful... I looked it up just now. I always have songs inspire me for my own fics. I enjoyed this story so much, so sweet, so sad too. I want to read more!!!!

I agree with the girls before. The script is weird, esp. in the end it writes names a few times in a row but otherwise the story is good. :)

OMG!! I thought it was just me having a weird scripting.. It gives me a headache a bit.. by the way I love the story, I' assume it'll be a sequel for it?

Just a suggestion about scripting, do you guys test it, before you upload the files? Coz when I used to run interactive fics after I scripted then I'd do a test run to make sure things turned out allright first before taking the next step

I think I just made a pool of tears in front of me. This story's beautiful.I wanted more! Can we have a sequel? ☺

Xeeni said...

There should really be a sequel. :)

I agree a sequel is the right thing to do Bez :) Absolutely loved this story I had no problem with the script only that there is no name of his bandmate in the last part well done xxx

You know sometimes I like a story that ends a little sad. Life doesn't always have a happy ending (or maybe that's just my love life haha) so I appreciate that. Plus it leaves a nice opening for another, am I right? *wink wink*
Nice work Bex :)

Sorry about the scripting errors, for some reason if i script then go back into the program it messes it up. I do usually have a quick check but when its your own fic you tend to miss stuff and I'm guilty of only checking the first paragraph or so haha

I did purposely leave it open for a sequel which I'm still unsure about doing. I just really love this song and wanted to use it in a fic.

If inspiration strikes you may get a sickeningly sweet happy ending ha

Monique said...

Mark's such an idiot... Pffft! He should've realised I truly was his soulmate ages ago. Men! Puhh

So yeah, with the names in all the right places I absolutely adored this story. Great one, once again Bex! And as much as I adore them sickeningly sweet happy endings, somehow this ending fits so well for the story. Even if you never get to writing that sequel, it's still good stuffs!

PS; If it helps, you're still allowed to mail me fics for script-checking :p

beck_willis said...

I'll do that Monique, didn't wanna give you loads to do ;-)

Monique said...

I love reading and I love your fics. I'd come on here to read them anyways so it's no bother at all ;)

Unknown said...

A good read on Sunday morning, nothing beats that!

Monique, there must be something in the air, it's contagious... Shane was the same way, can you believe that?

I'm a happy endings kind of person... I love them. I'm also a big fan of extreme conflict or as I call it the big bad moment. I like heart-wrenching moments, like the one Bex just wrote at the end of the story.
And then I like patching things up because I want to believe that love can conquer anything, no matter what. It doesn't happen that way in real life, but this is fiction and everything is possible.
I still haven't met a girl who wouldn't like to be swept off her feet... and if it's one of the lads, even better. Don't you think?

Again, this was a great story and I enjoyed in even when tears filled my eyes! Mostly the reason I want a sequel is because it was so good and I couldn't stop reading... XOXO

Raine Rafael said...

I mean, we all knew what the male protagonist felt when she left him. But, I wonder what life must have been for the girl? WHere did she go? What did she do for the past two weeks? *starts brewing a possible sequel* teehee! ;)

loved it!

Another story that begs for a sequel, I hope you come up with one :)
