"All I need is a sheet of paper and something to write with and I can turn the world upside down." -Friedrich Nietzsche 


I've been away for a long time but been feeling a bit nostalgic.  I've got the urge to write again and maybe finish a few stories that have been sitting around collecting dust. And some new ideas as well.

If This Is Real by Chelsia (PG-13) starstarstarstarhalf-star [Comments - 11]

Growing up in Shelby Forest isn't necessarily the easiest thing especially when it's just you and a mother who spends most of her time at her job in Memphis. Especially when you have people who are constantly picking on you. Especially when you feel trapped by the small town. Life can be lonely.

Brenna Michaels has lived in Shelby Forest all her life and has never felt more lonely. Her best friend is someone twice her age and she feels like her life is going nowhere.

Enter Justin Timberlake who is spending time in the Forest to recover from mononucleosis. Brenna and Justin used to be best friends before he left for Orlando but after ten years they lost touch. Can Justin be her savior from the life she lives in now?

This story is unbelievably cute.  The dialog between JC and Jen is funny and you've really brought your characters to life.   The plot is believable and a very original twist on the "best friends" idea.  Kudos to you.  Hope you update soon.  Keep up the great work!

All I Ask by Burgundy (NC-17) half-star [Comments - 56]

Two people on the run.  One running from the past, the other running toward what's slipping away.  Can JC and Charlie find in each other what they lack within themselves?  Will the past tear them apart?

 

I will leave my heart at the door
I won't say a word
They've all been said before, you know
So why don't we just play pretend
Like we're not scared of what is coming next
Or scared of having nothing left

Look, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
Cause what if I never love again?

I don't need your honesty
It's already in your eyes
And I'm sure my eyes, they speak for me
No one knows me like you do
And since you're the only one that matters
Tell me who do I run to?

Look, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lover do
It matters how this ends
Cause what if I never love again?

Let this be our lesson in love
Let this be the way we remember us
I don't wanna be cruel or vicious
And I ain't asking for forgiveness
All I ask is

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
Cause what if I never love again?

I'm really enjoying this story so far. Your characters are well developed and believable. Your portrayal of self harm is delicate and not over the top and hits well on mental health issues. I think your portrayal of JC is great and a lot how I imagine he could be in real life. Bravo, looking forward to the next update! :-)

Author's Response: Yay!  Thank you for checking it out and reviewing.  Glad you're enjoying it so far.  I hope I continue to do the characters and the story justice.  :)

Finally found the time to read the last two chapters...I am so fixated with the story and where it's going.  Love all the layers Charlie has and the progression of the storyline is super believable.  Kudos and can't wait for the next installment!

Author's Response:

Thank you!  Sometimes I get a little OCD on details and I have to reign myself in.  Lol.

I appreciate the review and that you're liking the story.
