@justmeandmyself, Oh my gosh... that's one of the sweetest, most incredible comments I've ever gotten. Thank you so much!! :D I'm glad you enjoy what you read and that my writing somehow manages to touch you so deeply.

@leigh553 I very much hope you do post it! I'd love to read it. :)

Both of those sound interesting, especially the epilogue to the trilogy. 
            
            I have wrote a couple fics of my own in this fandom and posted one but I'm a bit hesitant to post the other. Someday hopefully I'll post it since here's not much point in writing them if no one ever sees them.

@leigh553 Aw, thank you! I'm glad you like my work  so much.  I've been working on writing some original pieces (non-fanfiction) which have taken up most of my writing time, but I do have a couple of fanfic ideas that I've been working on a little at a time.  One is an epilogue to the trilogy with "the stylist" and the other is a homeless Josh fic.  Hopefully those are things you might be interested in!  
            
            As for generic love stories...  Those are the reason I started writing fanfics. haha  I was so, so sick of seeing those as the majority of what exists in the fandom. Big lead singer rockstar meets and instantly falls in love with a swooning fan. Or the kid sister of one of the other band members. *yawn*  :)  I try so hard to steer clear of cliche things and I'm extremely glad that it works for you. Thank you for liking what I do.  :)

@PrimetimeReload  ok thanks

@PrimetimeReload  Here ya go! :  https://twitter.com/RattleTheSky

@PrimetimeReload yep twiter would be cool

@PerfectPostcards  Now that wouldn't have been a more perfect comment.  Thank you.  Thank you SO much.  I'm beyond thrilled that you like what I've put out there for you to read.  I'd absolutely love to talk with you about it if you have anything in particular you loved or hated. Or if you have any questions, I'd be glad to answer them!

@MelinaSchurr haha Okay! You can wait.  I promise it's nothing special and nothing exciting. But I'd love to see what you think the reason is once it's written!
            
            And yes! You absolutely figured out where I was going with that. Great job!! I'm highly impressed with the skills you used to interpret that.  
            
            You mentioned that you were/are going through a lot of what I write about, so I just wanna throw it out there that if you'd ever like to talk, by all means, just message me and we can talk about it. I'm here to listen and talk about more than just what I write. :)  Just PM me, though, so it's private and not out in the open for anyone to read.

@Shake_Tramp Oh okay, that's what I thought. Well then I'll be waiting patiently for it to be continued (as with all the others, haha!) But thank you so much on letting me in on all that information! :D 
            
            Okay, I'm torn now.. Haha! I really want to know, but I think I'll wait! It makes it more special. :) Up until then I will try to think of a reason by myself and then see if I was right, haha! 
            
            Oh really? I feel good now that I know that i interpreted it right! :D it was just the way I felt about it, because as I've said once.. I am/was going through some of the exact things you write about and I just feel/ felt the same way and I'm kinda in that mindset. I can relate.
            And that is the one reason why I love your stories so much, haha. 

@MelinaSchurr I'm glad you took a look at "Entertained In Sicker Things"! Thank you for that!  One thing you should know about that is that it's unfinished.  What you read was just the first three chapters of something I intended to be much longer.  In fact, another small behind-the-scenes bit of information there is that I wrote  the first book for that trilogy and posted it, then started working on "Entertained In Sicker Things".  I never intended for that trilogy to *be* a trilogy, but I had gotten a handful of people asking "what happened after that??", so I set aside "Entertained..." to write the second book.  Then the third.  And I just never got back to "Entertained...".  So it's still a work in progress!
            
            To answer your question about why Matt never showed up or why he didn't answer Josh's phone calls...  Do you really wanna know? :)  I still plan to finish the story eventually, so I don't wanna give away spoilers.  But I'll absolutely tell you if you wanna know what's going on.  There's definitely a reason and it's a pretty simple one. It's up to you if you wanna be let in on it or find out later on!
            
            You really nailed where I was going with this partially written story.  I wanted one where Josh's mistakes landed him in some trouble that he wouldn't have gotten in if he'd listened to that little voice in his head that told him 'no'.  He made crappy decisions even though he knew better because it was just easier.  :) Good eye!!

@Shake_Tramp thank you :)

@MelinaSchurr And I just followed you back!

Thank you. I followed you :)

@Shake_Tramp Nice to meet you Melissa! :) I don't know what nickname to call you yet because my full name is actually Melina and my mom and sister always call me Mel, haha! Plus I don't know which I like best just yet :D 
            
            You are such a nice person! Thank you so much! Yes I do have Facebook and that is a great idea! :D I'll dm you the link to my page! 

@MelinaSchurr I didn't realize we hadn't introduced ourselves! Sorry about that!  I'm Melissa, but feel free to call me Mel, or Liss, Lissy, Lissa, whatever you like. :) Very few people call me by my full name.  It's nice to officially meet you!
            
            And yes! I'd definitely be willing to help you, if you like. That's entirely up to you though! I don't wanna start dictating how or what you write or anything, but I'd be glad to help you with grammar or details, or just discussing ideas and listening to you talk about things you're proud of, stuck on, etc.  Whatever you need. :)  
            
            Actually,  if you're interested in doing that, I'm not sure if you have Facebook or not, but Wattpad has a habit of having some *serious* lag time as far as the PM system goes. And it's really iffy about letting me know that I have messages at all.  So if you're at all interested in adding me to FB, that might be a slightly better place to have full-on discussions about your writing, just for that reason alone. Plus, there's no character limit to stick to there. :) That's entirely up to you too though. No pressure.

@MelinaSchurr Aw, I'm so glad you like the title! Thank you!  It's just another small lyric I stole from "Porcelain".  :)
            
            haha Aww...don't worry! Don't be embarrassed.  Sometimes my titles are a little sneaky and aren't very recognizable as song lyrics!  I think "Try A Little More, Lie A Little More" and "Call and Response"...oh! And "Mirrors Don't Need To Lie This Time" were the only three not directly taken from song lyrics.  "Try a little more, little more, little more, they slap you like a bitch and you take it like a whore..." was taken from "Shake Tramp" and tweaked a little.  "Call and Response" was entirely my own.  And "Mirrors..." was taken from "Skin and Bones" and twisted a little to fit the story.  ("Mirror lie to me, tell me you can see...")
            
            And I still SO, SO appreciate you reading my work! :) Gosh, just...thank you so much! I know you prefer the longer pieces, so I'll do my best to write longer works rather than the short one-shots.  The longer ones obviously take a while, though, so please don't expect them *too* soon.  I promise I'll have stuff to post at some point in the near-ish future though!
