 iloveAdamLambert 2009-07-29 . chapter 1Your writing is beyond spectacular and really creates a vivid image.
I honestly felt like Trish. Safe, secure. Then shocked, heartbroken, lost.
I really liked this.
Keep up the awesome-ness. :)

 Leaving-My-Mark 2009-07-27 . chapter 1I immensely enjoyed this! This was just brilliant!
The feeling of betrayal is so strong in this and so fantastically written. I just love it.
The POV was a little awkward, but I agree that it was a good choice. I think first person wouldn't have been as good of a choice, and present-tense third person would've been the second best choice.
Poor Trish is betrayed by Henry and learns that their relationship has basically been a lie, that he's been leading her on all that time.
Anyway, I really, really loved this. Awesome job!

 Streetwise 2009-07-26 . chapter 1I love 2nd person! It's like finding a rare treat that you buy as quick as you can because you're not sure when you'll see it next. I don't know what it is about 2nd person. Sometimes I feel like it's a letter, telling someone what happened. Or maybe a sort of journal. Regardless, its effects are beautiful and poignant. Some people hate it, or get confused by it, or don't see the point, but I've decided that those people are silly because it's for stories like this that the perspective was invented for. :)
This is going to sound terrible, but I knew from just about the first episode that Trish would die. And I was actually sort of hoping for it too. Not because I disliked Trish, but because I knew there would be a sort of poetry in it. But when her time came, I was heart-broken. I wanted Trish to live and the betrayal she must have felt was impossible to comprehend.
What you captured here, juxtaposing the betrayal and raw emotions with the childish innocence of fairytales, was perfect. You caught every second of Trish's fear, pain, anger, betrayal. And I have to say, when most people 'write over' a scene, I usually feel like they're just trying (and failing) to capture the glory of being the original writer. When you do it, however, it's like it's a different scene. You add so much, while still being faithful. You tell us everything we'd ever want to hear--albeit, from only one perspective at a time.
Thanks for another great HI story. :) |

 Erin 2009-07-25 . chapter 1 This was amazing. I loved the way you wrote the final scene from Trish's perspective, juxtaposing the brutality of her real ending with the fairy tale ending she was supposed to have, the difference in the villain pretending to be Prince Charming. One of the things that really raised HI beyond generic slasher flick for me, is that the threat really came from within. There was such a sense of utter betrayal for the final victims, that isn't there in a Freddy/Jason movie. It's one thing to be killed by a revenge-seeking stranger, quite another for that literal stab in the back/heart to come from your best friend or your fiancee. Or to have to murder someone you've known/loved your whole life for your own survival. You captured the true depths of Henry's betrayal brilliantly. |
 Becks Rylynn 2009-07-25 . chapter 1Well...you made me cry. AGAIN. That just...awesome. I love when stories make me cry, it means they're good. And this was damn good. Trish Wellington was by far my favorite character and while I still wish there was some way she could have lived, I think her death scene was the best. This story captured it all; the grief, the unconditional love she had for Henry, the betrayal. It truly was like a tragic fairytale and I loved every minute of it. I MUST read it again. And again. And again. Until my eyes bleed.
Love and Kisses,
Becks Rylynn |
