What an AWESOME chapter!!
*ryubs hands together* Get ready for a review, Sarah style. Okay, that was lame.
Well, that was a GREAT description. the chewing / spitting out left me with horrible mental pictures though!
The whole New Mum/new dad thing made me feel sorry for hayley. it made me want to cry. So there IS a reason she's a female dog!
I'm going to do thisn characters now, because I can't randomly choose.
Gypsy: Well, I wasn't around for the whole Gypsy thing, and If I was I wouldn't have understood it. She's the queen I-want-every-guy, okay, slu*, and you're describing it really well. You're putting into a storyline that sounds like Home and Away, but also sounds like reality. I'm enjoying reading about her character. The writers could learn a lesson or two from you, Kat.
Will: He's torn, isn't he? He wants Gypsy when he sees her, but he knows she's bad...he wants to be chewed, but at the same time doesn't want to be spit out. And he covers his feelings up with Dani. It's the perfect plan...
Gypsy seems to be a drug. And Kim/Jack/Will are drug dealers. Hayley/Martha/Dani are the angry councellors. That was a good description. Poor Will.
That was clever. I laughed when I read it!
Now Kim:
He;s a bit sad, IMO. I don't liuke him in this fic, I don't like him...ever!
Now THAT was good.
I also couldn't help laughing at the 'Kim was safe' SURE he is, Will, SURE he is....
Cassie: The way you're describing her in here is perfect. It's like, behind that thick orange skin there's a side of her you're bringing out. Shes new to town, with not the highest self esteem.
Bit desperate, aren't we? I have to say, I would have never even thought of Cass wanting Kane. That's the good thing about you kat, you thing up imaginative storylines, but yet they seem sane. And they're original! I love it!
Martha: Cady Herin....Mean girls. She doesn't want to follow Hayley, but at the same time, she really does. Is this going to end with Hayley being hit by a bus by any chance? I hope so.
Dani: Dani, Dani, Dani. She's a complex person. I thought before 'she's there. Will follows her, she doesn't do much else' but then when I came across this line:
I realised she will be joining the war. At least she's not an idiot. I mean, you're not making her blind and going 'oh, she doesn't know Will loves Gypsy'. And with what you're doing, it makes it all the more complex.
Kit: I'm glad Noah cares for her and not hayley.
Revenge. Aggg, revenge. I KNEW Kit wouldn't just let Hayley get away with it.
That is an AWESOME line.
Hayley:
Well, It's nice for her to be the B!t**
There's one everywhere. There's a little b!t** on all of us, Hayley's just more upfront about it!
Has anyone told you that you're really good at describing things? Coz you are! Take THIS paragraph, for example:
That was a great description.
I hear a mental breakdown coming on...
She's going to get more evil, isn't she? But those last bits were really well done, Kat. You and ILM are teaming together and creating a work of art. Together, you're writing is unstoppable!
This fic has everything a good fic needs. The twists are perfect. The storylines are well done and sound like they've been fixed and thought out really well. The characters work. These haven't all been put all together before, but it sounds exactly like a real H&A storyline, and like they're all present characters. it's hard for most writers to do that.
These characters, in the show, we don't go as far into them as you're going. You can see past that layer of what we see on our television screen, and put it down on...um...paper (?) to go deeper than we're actually shown about them.
Also, that stuff about Nick/Will/Hayley's past was tear-jerking. I don't cry oin a lot of things. I didn't cry, but i thought I was going to. An ordinary person would be told to write that and struggle, and not as many people would be as saddened, because the way you wrote it was so...touching.
A very long review, and it took me a long time...but whatever!
