Author's Response: I do, but it is only one chapter - I'm actually probably going to take it down and revamp it. It's called "Rush Over Me" :)
Why would she do that? Did she honestly think by leaving and avoiding Justin and JC they wouldn't still have a broken heart regardless? Stupid girl you can't win for losing...
I don't like how selfish and shallow these guys seem to be! When she moves on and is no longer at their disposal as easily as before when she had feelings for them all of a sudden they having such a burning and torturous need to be with her *smh*
All of them all silly and have no idea of what they really want. Alison needs to live for herself and stop trying to make everyone else around her happy...in the end that will only make her miserable and with life long regrets.
I'm sorry but if that is how alisan looks then there is no reason she should be 25 and single.. not to mention didn't you say she was a little bigger and bland...
that girl just doesn't fit the image in my head. in fact it sort of ruined it.
Author's Response: Alisan Porter was just the basis of what I wanted my character to be and it was kind of ironic that I had named my character Alisan to begin with, so I went with it. By bigger, I meant with chest and hips, not so much heavy - but an actual curvy woman and not too thin.
As I noted, Alisan was a dancer before she ruined her knee. So she obviously was skinnier before, and Alisan Porter could be more portrayed by her then than presently - though it was still somewhat there. I wanted an Italian-looking, dark haired, olive complected woman, and she was it.
None of my characters are the women that I post as characters, what I have cooked in my head will never be brought to a photo because there hasn't been any actress/model/singer/whatever that has fit the mold of who I want them to be. They are close, but not even exact. I like to base my original characters on real-life women, women who worry about their hips, their bellies, their insecurities ... and as you probably saw in 'By My Side', Katharine McPhee was chosen as the character for the opposite weight issue (her battle with an eating disorder) though it coincided with what many young women face - obesity, struggle with fluctuating weight or just not weighing enough.
And the bland part was actually just Justin's description of someone he refused to see past his friend until later on. Kind of in denial, I guess? Later on, he noted that she was beautiful and hated that she was losing weight that she had been losing. You always see someone differently until you realize you have fallen in love with them.
Thanks for the review! :)
Author's Response: Hopefully, I'll have the last chapter of this story up by tonight/tomorrow afternoon. Bear with me! The sequel will be posted within a week or so :)
Author's Response: Haha thanks, I tried!
Author's Response: Thank you! =] And I love 'Come to Me', too - it's my ringtone and gets my mind going every time someone calls (which could be a good or bad thing)!
