An Urgent Need for Ruin (Full-length Novel Version) - Comments, page 2

This is easily one of the best stories on this site. It's so refreshing and different, I'm hooked. I really hope you continue it!

@Nichole Unfiltered
Thank you so much! I'm going to have to go back and edit Stranger Danger (that name is sticking for quite a while. And to think it just started as I one-time thing in chapter one!) a bit since my brother says he doesn't seem socially inept enough. But I'm trying my best to avoid a Twilighty feel. The main point I'm trying to get across is that he really puts off something that makes you not want to be around him. Not like he's dangerous, just that off feeling, if you get what I mean. He's like this the whole novel (because, frankly, Frank does kind of give me that creeper feeling. XP ). Annnnyway, enough of my rambles.
Thank you so much for reading and commenting! It makes me feel so awesome that one of my favourite writers loves my story!

I'm so in love with this! I love how you're taking a totally different approach toward writing a fan-fic. It's lighthearted yet kinda dark and just perfect in every way. I'm also still totally in love with how you've written it to make their accents show through, I think it's not only adorable but makes the story more genuine and I wanna just read it forever!!!

@Nichole Unfiltered

That's good! I'm the same way.

@Clockwork.Sanity
No, cause knowing the ending still doesn't fill in how it all happened, and that's the best part. I like seeing how everything will tie together and letting the story take shape and the plot fall into place piece by piece. I find it rather exciting.

@Nichole Unfiltered

So knowing the "end" alreayd doesn't spoil it for you?

@Nichole Unfiltered

I've always found that extraordinary things happen in reeeeally mundane moments.
And their meeting is kinda based off one of my own with who I call Gee-across-the-street. There's a dude that moved in with his parents (who I know) into the house across the street. He looks like a more-rotund Gerard and has the exact same hair. He usually comes out everyday and smokes in basketball shorts and a ratty band t-shirt. I still haven't exactly "met" him persay. But this first meeting between Toni and "Stranger Danger" is exactly what happened.

@Nichole Unfiltered

Thank you! Thank you so much!
So the prologue didn't spoil it for you, huh? XP

I love this so far. I really like the way you were able to write Toni's mom's dialogue to show her accent and I also love how there wasn't some magical, first-day-of-high-school moment to start off the relationship; most don't generally make the meeting so casual. I also loved the way you said that it was during mundane tasks in life that extraordinary things happened (at least, that's what I think you mean) I had never really thought of it that way and I thinks it's just absolutely amazing!! Can't wait for more, seriously this is great!! ^.^

@Stitches
Please let me know what you think of both. They're very different, I might add. The short story I've based off my nightmare, but the novel I've changed dramatically and made my own.

@Clockwork.Sanity
That's what I thought. That's pretty much Gontier without the "n".
Nope. I'll do it now though.

@Stitches

Lol. It's like... GAW-tee-ay kinda. Cajun names are very guttural sometimes.
Did you read the short story version?

Is the Gautier pronounced like the French "Gontier"? It looks like it would be. WAIT. They're all French. So I take that as a yes. CANADA even if it's Louisiana. Reminds me of Canada.
