Now Tell Us How You Really Feel

This story was originally taken down officially on May 29th.

I put it back up.

Yes, I am aware I'm a BAMF. :D

Enjoy!

1-

Thank You, Total Drama

It's a lovely day at Camp Wawanakwa.

But who cares? Right now, I'm on a plane.

Not just any plane, mind you. The plane I write Fan Fiction's about. The epic plane. And right here, right now, in front of my very eyes, are the two people I've been fantasizing about for more than a quarter of my life; Duncan and Courtney.

I don't know their last names but for some reason, that doesn't bother me in the slightest. Courtney is still everything I want to be, mostly because she got Duncan, but that's a different story for a different day. They sit with each other but still disconnect in a way, like the other is tainted and like they can't wait until this is over with.

I ignore that thought and continue.

"So Duncan," I begin, immediately regretting it because as soon as Duncan tilts his head to spare me a dry look, I nearly pass out. It's not smart to address the object of your obsession so easily and actually get a reaction back. I try not to foam at the mouth and skip out on whatever I was going to ask (like I can remember it now).

Courtney is smiling at me but it fails to reach her eyes. She obviously must think I am somebody of importance, which I am so not. I'm just a fifteen year old girl from Kentucky who occasionally sits down with a laptop and writes her heart out. I've never been on TV except once when I was four at a petting zoo and another time as one of the women dressed in pink in the background of a breast cancer walk commercial. I'm not important to anyone but my overly large family. I chew my lip, an odd habit I've had since a young age. I am of no significance.

But Courtney does not have to know that. A side glance at Duncan and an attempt to stop hyperventilating makes me think that he doesn't either.

"Courtney, age sixteen, black eyes, brown skin, freckles. Was part of a school band which was unsuccessful. Main instrument is the violin. Class president, class valedictorian, honors student, class treasurer. This is you?" I push my reading glasses father up my nose when Courtney nods. I actually have two pairs of prescription glasses, but that's due to the fact that I totally bullshitted the vision test and I seriously don't need them. But I think they are cute, so I had my father spend a fortune on them anyway.

"Yes, that is me." Courtney is obviously pleased with my description of her, but it was more of me listing off facts I knew, not a description. I have made many descriptions of Courtney before, but I'm not allowed to mention those now.

I must stay canon, people.

"And how long have you been sixteen exactly?" She blinks at me and I realize I'm over stepping my boundaries here. Cartoons tend to short circuit when you confuse them too much. "Forget it. Next question."

Of course, my next problem is my previous problem, which is addressing Duncan. But right now, I'm having a bigger problem, and that is keeping myself from mentally undressing him. "Duncan, age sixteen, blue eyes, Caucasian, green Mohawk. Was part of a garage band that was very successful. Weapon of choice is a lighter and anything within arm's reach. Voted most likely to skin small animals in middle school. Been to Juvenile Hall nine times in the past five years. Is this an accurate portrayal?"

Duncan smirks, a shit eating grin, a wide smile if that is what you prefer. "The one and only." He then gets the same disinteresting tone and half lidded bedroom eyes he usually has as he continues. "And you are?"

I pick at my thumb nail, the one that is longer than all the others before licking my lips. I forgot to bring chap stick so I feel naked. "Just call me Cereal." I give them a nervous smile that automatically falters and decide that maybe now would be a good time to put my hair up. I avoid eye contact at all costs.

"Cereal?" I try my best not to cream my pants when my nick name rolls off Duncan's tongue. He's so sexy it hurts. But I can't focus on that. This is not some OC romance with a Mary Sue who's busting her ass to not be a Mary Sue.

I'm an actually person, I'm actually fifteen, and I'm actually just some chick who can't really do her make-up and who sometimes forgets to put on deodorant. (Not all the time, mind you.)

(Just sometimes.)

"Yes, Cereal, full pen name Cereal-Killa, is there a problem?" I say it fast and try to stutter and I amazingly do so without a repeated word to be found. Duncan nods and I hope it's a nod of acceptance but more likely it's one of suspicious disgust.

Courtney, who has remained eerily quiet with this plastic smile on her face for the past two minutes coughs and gains my attention, although Duncan continues to peer at me curiously. "May I ask why we're here?"

To tell the truth, this is a really sad picture in my mind. I'm fifteen. I should be out trying to pick up that guy my friend introduced me to yesterday, I should be doing my summer reading homework or figuring out to work the new dryer but here I am. Talking to characters that I have shaped to be my tools.

"You're here because I just… I don't know. I wanted to say thanks."

At this point Duncan is looking at me so dryly I start tapping my foot, starting the bullshit version of what my friend calls Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS); I've never heard of it, I'm not going to Google it, and I truly don't care if it's real or not. I say this because in the back of my mind I'm sure that I will get a flame about this later.

Courtney hardens her eyes, her nose scrunching up and ruining the fake smile. "Thanks?"

Duncan takes his pinky and picks something out of his ear. "Who are you, exactly?"

I give them a blank wide eyed stare. "Cereal."

"We know that." I flinch a little because for a second there. I was sure Courtney was going to bite me. I have no idea why I'm so surprised. I've studied this character and her violent anger tendencies like it was my religion, and yet there is still so much I wonder about with these two. I wonder how the voice actors inspire themselves to be the character. I wonder who exactly came up with each design for the two, gave them a name, colors, edgy American cartoon lines; what brought these two to life?

Duncan looks at me with an edge this time. It's obvious that I need to explain myself.

He reaches for his pocket knife. I gulp.

I need to explain myself. Quickly.

I came here to gather information for my writing. But all of a sudden, things are taking a much different turn.

"I've been writing stories about you two since I was twelve years old."

Duncan stiffens before dragging a palm down his face in aggravation. Courtney's face is getting more and more red as time goes on and I try my hardest not to squeal. A Courtney outburst. I pull out my pocket notebook and snatch the ballpoint pen my father gave me from behind my ear. I've wondered what one of these looks like up close for a long time. I'm definitely going to take notes.

"SO ALL YOU ARE IS A FAN?" Courtney yells, but she stops when she sees my face.

The pocket book fell, along with my pen. I'm pretty sure I look damn scary with my eyes wide and jaw clenched like that but I could care less at this moment. "…A fan."

Do you realize what those words mean?

For years, I've been nothing. Nothing but a fan.

I sneak around on my laptop and upload chapters to stories none of family but my twin brother knows about.

My best friend, Alex, is my only 'in real life' supporter. The only one who tells me that I'm going to make it big and that he's believed since we were in diapers. That my writing was made for more than just a FanFiction webpage.

For years, I've told my friends I was typing up something for a biology report or just 'for fun'. I've never told anyone about how I sit up until three in the morning with my TV on but switched to mute as to not distract me from my brain storming as my eyes dull in front of the computer screen.

I've written over one hundred stories for these two. For these two people, for these two cartoons, for these two figments of my imagination I've written a one shot long enough to be considered a small book. I've draw fan art, I've made polls, communities, written stories, for years I've been working with these two, molding them into my own and in turn, they've molded me into the author I am today, taken my edgy sides and shaping them, bringing more and more closer to my version of 'perfection' each day.

And still.

I am no more than a fan.

"…I wanted to say thank you. Last week, I received a message from a girl. She asked me if she could translate my stories. The ones I wrote about you."

They both stay silent. I have no idea what their faces must look like, I closed mine a long time ago and I refuse to open them for fear of repulsion, of disgust, of rejection from the two people I need approval from.

I crave it. I have to feel it. Just a little.

For just a moment.

"My mother died when I was younger. I didn't want to write. I didn't even like to read. And then I wrote this poem. It was called 'Pieces'. I wrote it for her. I wrote it because my teacher was going to nag me about it and because my Dad would whoop my ass if I got another D on my report card.

"And I won."

I try not to, but the tears are falling freely. God, I'm such an idiot but I don't stop talking. "I won a contest and then I wrote a short story, and then I wrote more and more and…" My breath is catching in my throat and I try not to choke. "People send me reviews. They tell me how much they like my writing, how much they love my writing. Hundreds of reviews. Just… for me. Mine."

"You two helped me through so much. When my sister had a miscarriage, when my boyfriend broke up with me, when I found out I was born with a blood disease, you guys were there.

"I laugh when I write about you, I cry when I write about you, and I just fucking feel and dammit. I feel good. But there is something you taught me, you both did. It's that I don't have to write about you to feel this way, to feel this great about myself."

I finally look up and see Courtney, looking at me with confusion and pity, and Duncan, a hard frown but a soft look directed at me. "I just have to write."

I look up at them and know they don't understand. But their trying. It's just another story they've heard, like legalizing pot or making 'ginormous' an actually word in the dictionary. Other people look at me, at my writing, and say, "She could go somewhere someday."

But you know what? Fuck that.

I'm Cereal-Killa, been writing for three years, and I'm here to tell you that I will go places. I will be that person people look up to. All I have to do is keep doing what I've been doing, brain storming, improving, and living on the side.

While Duncan and Courtney wave to me as they push me out of the plane, and I wonder about where my parachute is and how my head is feeling dizzier and dizzier, none of that really matters.

I'm gonna be big.

Anyone on this site can be.

You can write about anything, about yaoi, about horror, shit, you can write about anything you god damn want as long as you just keep writing.

And it helps, you know, if you write pretty good.

Author stuff:

Dear World,

I'm coming.

Love, Cereal

YES I AM AWARE THAT THESE REVIEWS ARE LONGER THAN THE ACTUAL STORY THEMSELVES. Haha, I just kind of wanted to not let them disappear. They are deeply special to me, especially this batch of reviews. This was one of the first stories I was very nervous about putting on FF, due to the fact that it featured a lot of concepts that I wasn't sure I should share or let people know about. The positive feedback I received really helped me out and make me smile when I read them. :D So suck it up and just skip them if ya don't wanna read them, shoot!

ORIGINAL REVIEWS:

From: HarryAndCourtney

Awsome, Cereal, really...YouRock, just it.

And yeh, I love this story.

(I read yours oneshots in Italian, too. :D) But this, is just A-W-S-O-M-E! :D

From: Ashe Simon

You write because you need to, like breathing. You write becaue you can't
think of anything else but the new story
you have. You write because it saves
you from going insane.

You know what?

I'm like that too.

Been reading some of your stories, they're really good. Keep it up, the more
you write, the better you get. If you're going to make it big, here's some
advice.

1. Start writing stories other than fan fiction. You don't have to post it,
but if
you want to, check out . You can copyright everything and
make it impossile to copy and paste, unlike
fanfiction (dot) net.

2. Tell people you know about your writing. Sometimes they can be the best to
review your work, and aren't afraid to tell
you the good, the bad, and the
ugly (not that there'd be much ugly in your case, but
you never know.)

3. Don't be afraid of what people think of something you are proud of. People
have different tastes in everything, so there are going to be people who will
put down something that might be really good. At the same time, accept and
listen to constructie criticism that is given, and use this to help enhance
your writing talent.

4. Start small, and work your way up in getting things published. Newspapers
and magazines are good places to start, getting short stories published. Then,
go for the novels.

Yes a lot of this is common sense, but it's all I can say. You have talent, so
nurture it and let it grow and bloom until it's bigger than ever.

I wish you luck, your friend Alex sounds smart, so listen to them.

And one last thing. Staying up until 3 in the morning staring at a computer
screen and having a TV screen on is NOT good for your eyes. Please turn on
lights so
you don't burn your eyes out. You might not need prescription
glasses now, but your eyes don't stop growing until they're 21, so
you might
need them later on in life. Glasses actually suck when
you actually need them.
Prescription glasses when unnessicary can also screw up your eyes. BEWARE!

Anyways, that's about it.

From: CarmillaD ()

I have to admit that I laughed A LOT with the first part of the story,
especially with the influences of "The Super Duncan Fan Club" and the
reallistic reactions of the characters, but the last part left me shocked:
Didn't know
you had to deal with so many things and writing stories about them
was like your lifesaver. Hey, wanna know something? *looking at both sides and
whispering* Since I was eleven, my equivalent to what Duncan and Courtney are
to
you have been Earthworm Jim and Princess What's-Her-Name, I swear it. They
triggered my imagination and made me so happy in my gloomiest days. They were
later joined (Not replaced) by Beetlejuice and Lydia.

The ending was kinda... bittersweet, classic of black humor (Very Jhonen
Vasquez-like). Of course
you're going places! Look at you, so young yet such a
skilled writer! What if the characters already exist and are cartoons? They're
just like Lego pieces, the important thing is how
you use them to build a
story.

Congratulations for your vaste artwork, and please keep creating such
wonderful stories.

From: Lady of Liebe

I am so happy I'm not the only one who feels that way...

But that was really good, I know exactly whereyou're coming from. Except I
don't post my stuff on Fanfiction, I'm the only one reading it. But
you're
from Kentucky too o.O

I really liked it! I giggled alot x3

From: InsanelyCrazy3299

i actually really know whatyou're talking about. I'm more of a reader than a
writer though. But i still love writing when your mind over flows with ideas
and just need to write them down. But more importantly when i read it i feel
the words like they're in me... ok i rambling now but anyway,
thankyoufrom
all the writers who ever just wanted to be,

Love, Peace, Happiness

YOUR AWESOME!

From: SlowlyBreakingSky

I love this.Youknow, I've seen people constantly say all FanFiction writers
are terrible and they should all just write original stories, and hey, they
made me angry. I'd always argue, that no, FanFiction is about expressing your
joy and interest in a show and improving your writing. FanFiction is all about
getting better as a writer and having other people tell
youhowyoucan
advance your writing skills. It's also about having fun and getting an outlet
for when
youneed it.Thankyoufor really showing that in words.

When I first started writing FanFiction on a different account it was all
terrible. I still got a few nice reviews though. With those nice things people
said in mind, I kept writing and got better and better to the point where I'm
probably the best writer in my grade. And FanFiction and the users here are
the reasons for that.

All of the writers here on FanFiction, the great ones and the awful ones
alike, are here to get better and have fun. I can't help but ask those people
who say FanFiction is horrible, what's wrong with having fun?
You're getting
better with every story
youwrite and, with practice,youprobably have what
it takes to be a great author one day.

Keep up the fantastic job.

From: Demon-Something

So... yeah, I was just going through my old archive of messages for some
reason, and I noticed one for
you. I clicked on the link to your profile, and
I found this. And I'm so glad I did.

I used TD fanfiction as a way to vent negative emotion: fear of anonymity,
fear of death, loath of others, betrayal at the later seasons, and a way to
show how I thought, to let my mind run free and actually get a result out of
it.

But most of all, I used to feel things I was certain I'd never feel. I've
never felt a death, anonymity, true hate. What
TotalDramafanfiction did for
me was that it shook me out of a plain, if nice and comfortable life and let
me see what could happen, as opposed to would.

In the World of Would, I'd go through high school with a whole bunch of
stress, take the SAT, go to college, get a job, all those things
youshould
do.
Youneed the World of Would, but it gets to be too much. In comes the
World of Could, just your mind away. In there, hilarious and tragic things
happen, people come and go, and anything is possible. Heather running an
equivalent of a Dollhouse? Normal. Courtney, Noah, Duncan, Izzy, and Geoff as
ace fighter pilots. Eh, nothing too strange. It's cathartic, and helps
youin
the Would. The Could is who
youare, as creative or utterly conformist asyou
happen to be.

Andyouneed both. Until I started writing fanfiction, I think I focused on
the Would too much, and I was having a horrible time in life. Around the time
I started writing however, I became a happier person, got good friends for the
first time in my life, and lived with less guilt and regret. That's what
fanfiction can do to a person. It's not getting net-famous over like
Winter-Rae and the Kobold Necromancer back in the day, it' what
youdo with
yourself.

I would like to do something like this, as a final farewell toTotalDrama.
I've had enough of the character derailment, Owen's excessive screen time, the
abuse of Ezekiel. And so I plan to leave it behind. I'm in the middle of my
last story for
TotalDrama, and it's a crossover fic. All I want to do there
is tell the best story I can, because I think I'm fixed inside. When I'm done
with that, maybe I'll do something like this too.

Before this fic, I knewyoufor random song parodies, but now I nowyouas a
writer. While that could never be the path for me, who knows, maybe I'll get
published in paper and binding... or e-readers,
younever know. I'd like to
thankyoufor writing out the Spirit of Fanfiction, coming to terms with
yourself. And one day, I'll read your groundbreaking novel, even though it'll
be in years. Why? Because I know that
youmight just do it.

From: mende5525

I just want to say that was amazing and that i know howyoufeel. Lately I
haven't been writing as much as I want to because of adult stuff, but whenever
i am down in a funk its when I like to read back over my stories and reviews
and realize how much it still means to me to be able to have characters and
story telling to be there for me when I need it most.

I myself hope to get back to my writing soon and i hopeyoucontinue doing it
yourself, your an amazing writer and an amazing person. Keep going!

From: DxC-Lova ()

I read tons of these stories about DxC and I came across this one story .. I
thought I'll give it a shot and I havnt written a story on this website but I
kinda wanna giv it a try and this story really gets to me! It's really
inspirational and I just wanna tell that ur story's are amazing and ur amazing
follow ur dream and I hope it comes true ! U have my best wishes and my
blessing to becoming an author ~with love from an ordinary 12 yr old girl in
Chicago lol 3 :)!¡!

From: randomzchicka

Youput a lot of heart into this.

That shows a lot of guts and love, for writing, your reviewers, and yourself.

Yougained much respect from me and hopefully others.

Youare going to make it big. Asyouprobably already know.Youhave what it
takes, guts, love, strength, and the talent and love to write.

I hope all your wishes come true!

From: lemon1110

Cereal-YouARE going to make it big someday. And I'll be the first to tell
everyone how long I've been reading your stories. For...3 years now? I finally
decided to make an account last year and I wrote 2 stories that suck. None
Duncan and Courtney yet- I'm making sure they don't suck. And through all the
shit that's gone on in the last few years- DxC helped me through. Heartbreak.
Etc. People DON'T KNOW how to be a fan these days. People like us? We are. My
heart just starts beating like a horseradish (Do not ask) when I start
fangirling. :) So
thanksfor being there for me!

Love Always,

Lemon

From: xXfigxXD

Best one-shot, no, story I have ever read on this site. And yeah,you'll
definetly make it. No doubt.

From: VampiricAphrodite

*extremely loud applause*

Yourock, Cereal! I freaking love this! I love howyoukept with the canon of
the show, and the way Duncan and Courtney reacted to your fan-ness (which is
not a word, but still). I love the writing style, how
youdescribed Courtney
and Duncan and the way
youinteracted with them. I could definitely relate to
the things
yousaid about wondering how the characters came to life. I've
always wondered stuff like that, too.

This is totally inspirational and amazing. It made me feel better about being
a fanfiction writer, and inspired me to keep writing and never stop. I'll
definitely read the books
youwrite whenyoubecome a famous author. :)

XOXO

From: Iluvpurpleandblack99

Your writing is truly breathtaking and I'm so inspired to write more because
of the nice people on this site; including
you. Every timeyouwrite a new
story, I jump for joy like it's Christmas (My favorite holiday!). That's how
good your stories make me feel and I applaud
youfor that. I knowyou'll make
it big someday and I hope
youremember your starting points whenyougather
that much success. Don't forget about FF either since that's where the cool
people are! Jk but seriously, I believe that
you'll go far. Can't wait till
your book comes out. Sincerely, Iluvpurpleandblack99 3

Awww, dude, is this FOR-REAL? Because this made me CRY. But I liked it.

From: Lolibarbie-is-too-lazy-but ()

...lolibarbie-is-totally-and-utterly-moved. I LOVE it! I do believe you could
go somewhere one day,
you're an amazing writer(:

From: Alexex

By God, Cereal, you... I... no words. But I'm gonna force 'em out, 'cause you
deserve them!

It's great, you know? To know that there's someone out there just like you.

It helps you feel less alone.

You have no idea how much you inspire me, and I'm not bullshitting you either.
I'm dead serious. I have few supporters who are my real life friends, and to
be honest, it's people like
you- people on fanfiction who are the ones who
truly appreciate stuff like this.

This was absolutely touching, and I am so glad you shared this. Honestly.

You...just, wow. Wow, is all I have to say. To anything you write! I honestly
would kill, with a machete to be as talented with
you, but like you said..
Just keep writing. And I will.

I tell my friends about you, you know. Whenever you post something new, I pull
it up on my smartphone (which is crap, by the way. -.-) and show it to them,
saying "Guys,
you have to read this, she is AMAZING!"

And I mean it. Honest, I do. I am so sorry for not reviewing as often as I
should, but life gets in the way. It's strange, because I don't really feel
like I'm living, unless I'm on the stage, playing my sax, or am on this site.
My mom thinks I'm addicted, and I probably am, because I can't go a day
without visiting this site. :P

Anyways, I'm blabbing and probably sound super lame. But whatever.

You rock, don't ever forget it! And there's nothing wrong with being a fan,
Ceral.
You have hundreds, maybe even thousands, including me. ;)

Never stop writing.

Or else. XD

Your humble fan,

For always,

~Alexex

From: xXCookieGiverXx

This was amazing :) Simply spectacular!But I feel bad for your past :'(

Now I understand why you write...and I'm inspired to write even more! :)

Dear Cereal-Killa,

you are definitely are going places in life, when i ever have a bad day with a
dumb teacher, really stressed out or tired of life,
YOU were always there for
me when
you write your fantastic stories. They make me laugh when I am done,
they got me thinking and they got me feeling.
You are a true inspiration and
Cereal-Killa, behalf of all your fans and I, we
thank you

-Musicluver78901

P.S. Keep writing!

From: ZiggyTheNinja

You know what.

This is your best story yet.

You WILL go places. The fact that your only 15 and can write like this is
simply amazing.

It may not mean much but I fully suport you and wish you nothing but luck and
love.

I believe in you.

From: Rain7427

Oh my god you are sooo amazing! This was sooo inspirational! You just made me
realize that writing is my life and I should work to writing more complex
stories!
You are much more than a fan you are a true person who discovered
their muse and feels good about it!
Thank you sooo much for writing and for
being so inspirational that it's brought tears to my eyes. I look forward to
reading your first published book, (
you should write it under Cereal-Killa.)
and seeing
you go far! Ah jeez this is really cheesy it's gotten all
emotional!

From: SleepingAngel ()

Dear Cereal,

I love your stories! I wish I could write as great as you do. I'm sorry about
the tragies that happed around
you. I also love Courtney too. Your proably
have a great book out some day!

From: RandomPersonOfDoom

I'll see you up in the stars.

From: ChelseaTheBlondie

I don't know why...but this story is pretty inspirational for me.

...and i LOVE it. :D

You should write more of these, Cereal. You're a pretty d*mn good author! (:

Whoo! Testify girl! I'm right there with ya'!

From: Humble Reviewer ()

Best of luck.

From:

Cereal, with writing like yours, I promise that someday, you'll make it big.
And, if not, I will personally fly to Kentucky and bash up the ** who stop
you
from acheiving that.

Because we all deserve to be something in this world, and we all could be.
It's just that most of us dont find what it is that we could be good at, and
we end up in some dead-beat job, living a lousy life, watching others acheive
their dreams, while wishing it was us.

You have something that you could be big with, and I implore you to use it!
Make it big in this world! And someday, when I'm sitting in my apartment in
Verona, as a succesful...(either lawyer, actor, writer, tv-host, dreamer) I
will read your famous book and will smile.

Make it big, and drop me a line when you do!

(DxC forever!)

From: LillyBird11

I love this 3 It was so inspiring. I've been in a rut the past few months,
thinking I was never gonna go anywhere, or ever be recognized. But this story
helped me get back on my feet. I feel happy again.
Thank you c:

From: pomtdwt ()

Cereal, YOU ROCK. You're gonna be famous if you keep writing. Stick with it,
and I will too.

RANDOM PEOPLE READING THIS!

Even though most of you are older than me, I'm giving you motherly advice.
Writing will be your bridge. Sometimes, writing's all we have. These
characters are our eternal friends. They'll never give up on us. We, the
writers, need to stick together. Because sometimes, we're all we've got.

From: JadeTyga

Well if your coming, I'll definitely be there to welcome you then cheer you
on:) I know that we've talked before, although I'm not sure if it was just an
OC fic or something. I remember seeing
you with this huge number of stories
near your name and I am seriously kicking my own as* for not reading them.

You know, I don't really plan on becoming a writer later on, maybe a lawyer or
child welfare worker, but out of all the authors that actually say that
they'll be going somewhere someday,
you're one of the people that I believe to
follow through with their dream. I know that
you realize you've already got
way over 100 reviews and mine is just another one that'll get lost under more,
but hey, atleast it's there;\

Anyways, you know how you look up to other people, in a way, I kinda look up
to
you:) I don't know if you know this but you're kinda paving a way for the
13 year old authors who lied about their age just to join this site like
myself. Your like this really talented author that beginners on the site check
out for ideas or just something fun to read:)

Now I'm not here to shower you in pity because of your mother, your sister,
your blood disorder (although even if
you aren't religious I'm keeping you in
prayer:)) but I'm here to just
thank YOU for being there when I needed a good
one-shot to read about my favorite couple. I don't look at anyone on this site
as just another fan, I would be highly offended if I was labeled as just
another fan, crushed if I heard it from the ones I look up to. I see the
people on this site as nothing more than authors, readers, and reviewers;
people doing things that they love and enjoy, THE PEOPLE OF FICTION!

I actually hide my writing from my family too, I can't even tell my friends
since they say they're too "mature" for cartoons, so I understand what
you're
saying...in a way.

Anyways, I've got to go, so good luck with your dreams, the best advice I can
give
you write now is to follow them:)

Stay golden,

Hey, Cereal :)

My name's Chloe and I just wanted to say what a true inspiration you've been
to me as an aspiring author myself.

I know this is probably the first time I've reviewed one of your
stories(because DSi's are really hard to review on these days...), but I have
read most of them since I joined Fanfiction last year. I enjoy everyone one I
read because I think
you really do have the potential and a gift to become an
author.

One of the reasons I have 92 stroies myself is because I wanted to be up there
with
you, with over one hundred...I know I don't have as many reviewers or
readers as
you, but if I ever do reach that amount, I would be so happy and
proud of myself.

I really do believe that you will one day become an author, because I will
read your books.

~Love, ChloeRhiannonX

...Bravo.

I wish that I could say something witty or smart about this, but I can't. Your
writing speaks for itself, it always has. This was moving, on many levels.

Damn straight, you're gonna be big. And don't ever let anyone tell you
otherwise.

I really like this...contribute (I guess) you put out. I'm only 13. I've been
writing since I was 12 on Quizilla. I tried writing DxC stories but they never
gained success. So I stopped. But I wrote more fictional stories and they're
better. And still getting better. This just helped me even more.
Thank you.
And yes,
you will go far. :)

Amazing, absolutely amazing. You are really talented, I adore your stories
and believe it or not
you've help me through so much your an inspiration to
me, your writing's what I look forward to, your the only reason I begged my
mum for a new laptop, your writing my drug and despite every time I remind
myself I need to sleep I'd rather stay up till 3 in the morning on a school
night just to read what
you've wrote I just can't help myself, you've got me
hooked. And for some reason every time I read one of your fanfics, I'm almost
in tears. I sit there in school on my phone reading your stories again and
again waiting for
you to upload. Please don't ever stop writing, I'd love to
be able to write like
you, your a natural.

I hope to see your name small printed on the cover of a book some day, because
I know
you will indeed go far.

Good look.

lots of love,

-Lotem (lottie).
