I have to agree with ScarlettDuck, you need a beta. There's a huge difference in writing in a "voice" or style and just plain bad grammar and bad spelling.

Author's Response:

To be fair I wrote this story when I was 19 (parts of it over 5 years ago) and I am constantly trying to better my writing so I think the tone of your response is unfairly judgemental and harsh. I am currently writing a story and am being very ruthless about grammar mistakes partly because of ScarlettDuck’s comments here. I was adverse to them at first yet they were done I now realise in a constructive way and I am learning from them. However I still stand by some of my comments because I am still keeping the dialogue like normal speech rather than correct speech and my style will remain the same, I’ve just bookmarked the common mistakes in the past stories and checked for them.

I think you should consider what you post to writers before you do. Also if you are suggesting that where I defended my style is bad grammar you obviously didn't understand my comment at all. If you actually sat and read what I wrote to ScarlettDuck I agreed when she picked up on my grammar mistakes in the text when they weren't part of artist license, and that was my point not that all my mistakes weren’t mistakes! I said they were part of my style when they were character dialogue or when I was aware of them and had chosen them for flow or mood of the sentence or description.

I don't want to have a beta, and that's my personal choice not only because of the way I feel about my writing, but also because I don't have any friends who write so if I sent it to anyone I know they would have no clue how to beta! But I just wanted to point out that even if that wasn't the case I don't agree with your review because you obviously haven't thought about it as it is worded quite bluntly (which I don’t find appropriate) and without actually understanding the conversation between me and ScarlettDuck who even themselves I think saw my side of it though they still disagreed with me.

To end I just want to reiterate that I am not against having a beta or that part of your review, that might be a helpful suggestion and if you had suggested it constructively I would have taken it on board (even though as I said it isn’t an option at the moment). I just wanted to make it clear that it’s your tone and reasoning I question here rather than the end point you made. It makes me sad that I get all these wonderful good or bad constructive reviews and people like you spoil the atmosphere.

A lovely story ... several typos/grammar/vocab problems; a stringent editing and this could be truly great!

Author's Response: Can you give me some examples? Sorry, but I do spend a great amount of time editing...I know there are a few things I've missed, but I definitely don't see several things so I'm a bit confused :/ do you think maybe you're confusing my purposeful writing style/english spelling with accidental mistakes? Thank you for the review and please let me know.

Rae,

You leave me hanging and call this finished?

Author's Response: I'm so sorry, I did plan to get my next story (All These Things That I've Done) up and running and then write it at the same time as the sequel to this story...but I am so busy I only get 3 days of free time a week, and I don't always get fanfic writing time within that so I can only really concentrate on one story at a time...but I promise in the near future this story WILL be continued! I would never leave it like this and a sequel is on the cards!

Wow. This is really good. The flashing sirens confused me because I wasn't sure if the story ended or not. Then I saw the end notes and now I can't wait for the sequel. Great job.

Author's Response: I'm concentrating on my new fic at the moment, and I'm half way through it, but once thats done I'll make a start on the sequel to this. I have a very detailed plan for it already, because I'm very excited about writing it, glad you liked! :)

LOVED THE STORY!! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SEQUAL!!!

Author's Response: Thankyou so much! Nice to still be getting reviews, I'm glad people are still reading this story! I'm working on another fic at the moment, but after my exams I'll have more time to write and I'm hoping to start post that one and the sequel to this at the same time :) so look out during the summer!

Oh my, what a way to end the story. Flashing sirens maybe an ambulance? Looking forward to the sequel, I'll decide then if I read it as WIP or finished.
As for a title, I saw this pimped in LJ ("Ask disregard for help. All request are confidential") here. You have a LJ too so you could contact her. Good luck!

Author's Response: Thankyou I'll check it out if I get really stuck, but the problem is I have like 10 different titles for it and its narrowing it down :/ I take ages to decide on something because I'm always worried I'll make a decision and then realise I should have gone another way...anyway thankyou for reading the story! Glad to hear you'll check out the next one! :D

I loved this fic and I can't wait for the sequel.
I'm sure with the cliffie you left a lot of the readers for this fic will read the sequel, even if they haven't expressed an interest in it.

Author's Response: Thankyou thats really nice of you to say! :)

Yay reunion! And such a beautiful one too. It was so true to the characters and put a smile on my face. I am glad that they talked it out first and didn't just sweep into each others arms, problems forgotten (I hate that!). But what is with the sirens! Please no dead Joyce, that would be so sad. But great story over all.

Author's Response: I hate that too, so I am REALLY pleased you picked out that fact, its what I was really trying to avoid...I really get dissappointed when writers rush the ending, its so tempting to do, but I wanted it done properly so it means the world that someone noticed that!
