Review for Sick

Sick

(#) tortillachip 2011-12-20

This isn't boring at all, and it really makes a lot of sense. I read a really weird story where Gerard was abusing Mikey, and it was so ridiculous and outrageous that it was kinda good, if that makes any sense. I kinda liked it, but I kinda didn't. It sounds terrible, I know, but I was curious about it. Anyway, I think this was better written than that story I read, and more realistic. I probably shouldn't be comparing them, but I am and I think this is far better. I really liked how it started as a Frerard. Everybody makes Gerard steal Frank from Mikey in one shots, and I liked how you switched it up a bit. I also liked that at the end it seems like Gerard is more worried about Frank not wanting to talk yo him. Sure, he loved his brother, but the whole ending was about Frank. I really liked that because it showed very clearly just how much he really cares for him, which must be hard to show in a one shot. I also liked how the word sick came into play. First it's said as a joke, then it's said out of anger, and then it's said out of disgust. When Frank called him sick in the beginning he said it as a joke, not the way some people said it before. At the end, though, he meant it quite unjokingly, maybe even said it the way other people would have said it to you, only with more disgust in his voice. Great job, I loved this.

Thank you sooo much; I'm relieved that you didn't think that this is boring.
The word 'sick' was used in this a lot because it was like my focus word thing for this one-shot. I've never written from a focus word/prompt table so it's a real relief to know that you think that this went alright!
Thank you so very much for taking the time to leave such a complimentary and detailed review; it really does help! :)
