Hey :)
Thanks for giving an honest opinion, although I disagree with the whole incest thing- I mean, they aren't related and haven't even been brought up as siblings, so I don't think it's incest at all.
Totally agree about The Twenty Ways- Scarlett_Fitch2027is awesome. I'll have to check Hero out :)
Any tips on how I could improve TTETI, then? It'd be much appreaciated :)
And just saying- please don't read my stories if you don't like them- I'd hate to force them on anyone!

I just read the latest chapter of TtEtI, and it was good. It didn't repeat, I think there might have just been a lull in the story the last few chapters.
And it is, legally incest. At least it is in America. (extensive Wikipedia research) I have step siblings, and it's considered immoral/illegal for me to dO anything with them. (okay, let me say EW. I would never do that to them.)
I don't really have any tips, I'm not a great writer. As I said, there might just have been a lull. It seems we're getting closer to Gerard, but I think Ocean's character is dying. I dunno. In the past few chapters, it seems Frank's though process has been the same. "I'm bullied, I hate Gerard and I can't tell anyone." it was the same thing over and over again, the point was over emphasized.
But the new chapter left me wanting to know more, and cruel as it sounds, I kind of wanted Danny to try and beat the socks off Gerard.
But I don think you really need tips. The general Ficwad population loves anything you do, so your stories are obviously well done. There are just a few oddities like me who don't like that particular cup of tea. Eh... I forgot what my point was. Oh, yeah. You're a big part of Ficwad culture, so you really don't need to worry much. People obviously love you.Reviews

Thank you, glad you liked it. Yeah, I know it's been a bit slow to get going, but I kinda just wanted to develop the characters, but I think I kinda failed at that. I'll re-write the whole thing at some point, so hopefully it'll be better then.
Hmmm, I didn't realise that about the incest. I don't think it'd be too weird- I mean, it's basically like two random teenagers coming to live with Frank. Hopefully it'll be okay.
Hahaa, I don't think you're the only reader that wanted Danny to beat Gerard :L
Thanks, that means a lot, and I totally understand that not everyone has the same taste in stories!

Hey there :3
Thank you very much for this. I love getting constructive critisicm - and my typing is one I have to work on, big time :) And my grammar. I'm really pleased you like it though!
(Especially the pace and chararcters, I have mild panic attacks about trying to get them right and not annoying - particularly the massive four year jump.)
Do you think there's any specific things that annoy you about the fic in general?
Also, Twenty Ways make me laugh so hard, and I haven't really been following Trying To Escape, because I prefer either happier fics or really dramatic ones.
But, really, thank you - I'm so, so, so happy you like it!

I know you love getting criticism, it's half of why I started doing this. I noticed some of the authors I like, such as you, looking for advice from bvbrocks and others who do these review type things. Typing is hard, I understand.
(The four year jump made me so sad. I teared up. It was just... Oh Gerard.)
About the fic in general... nothing really annoys me. Well, I hate som eof the characters but I believe I'm supposed to hate everyone that isn't Ray, Frank or Gerard. And Mikey, but I'm not sure he counts... Anyway, no, the writing style is easy to follow and the Person (1st, 2nd, 3rd) was well-suited for the fic. If you changed the Person, it would have an entirely different atmosphere, and I like the one you have set up.
Anytime sweetness ;) (Oh dear lord I just referenced You Can Hide a Lot About Yourself by I_am_a_Graveyard... le sigh.)Reviews

Oh, wow, thanks so much! Didn't realise you were doing something like this, but it's a good idea and I'm really, really pleased you liked my fic or at least found it amusing. And thanks to CosmicZombie and Shiwoggi for your equally lovely comments!
SFAuthor's response
I just realized I was doing something like this as well ;)
I found your fic very amusing, though in some chapters more than others. It has a nice balance, and Mikey is just so... dayum. Anyway.
Thank you for the review... That sounds strange, I belive it's the first time I've ever really typed it... I'll leave you alone forever. (Scott Pilgrim reference anyone?)
