Are you tired of just posting an update with your latest chapter link? Do you wish you could beg everyone to read your fic and review it? Well, now you can! Post in this thread and beg people to read your fic. Beg and plead for people to leave a review. Beg for a certain type of review, beg for attention, pray for someone to fall in love with your OFC, extol the virtues of your masterpiece and pimp that story out like it's your last working whore! GO! |

Nice wording. Golly does this sound like an info-mercial.....It's working. Come one come all to read Lila Meets Rosie! It's a tiny bit of my full length fic An Alternate Outsiders or it's new name that I came up with two seconds ago: Streetlighs! You will love it all. (probably not, but whatever) All ready read it and want more? PM me and I will send you more. I've always wanted to be on an info-mercial. =D |

I have left borderline obsession and I am driving away in my blue 66' mustang, laughing at the borderline for being so far away. -Me about The Outsiders (shoot, Randy got a new car.) "Remembering. Remembering a handsome, dark boy with a reckless grin and a hot temper. A tough, tow-headed boy with a cigarette in his mouth and a bitter grin on his hard face. Remembering-and this time it didn't hurt-a quiet, defeated-looking sixteen year old whose hair needed cutting badly and who had black eyes with a frightened expression on them. One week had taken them all." | |

Go, then; there are other worlds than these. If, at his counsel, I should turn aside into that ominous tract which, all agree, hides the Dark Tower. Yet acquiescingly I did turn as he pointed: neither pride nor hope rekindling at the end descried, so much as gladness that some end might be. | |

Hey, so la bella nuit and I are co-writing a Johnny fic, called The Dying of the Light. I'm sure you all know that Johnny is a hard character to write, especially when done from his POV. We'd really really appreciate some feedback whether it be by review or even PMs so we can do the guy some justice. Please review? :) |

I read that fic this morning, it's really great and I can't wait for more. To anyone: Read my crappy sister fic? Well, actually, it isn't crappy. I actually like it. It's called Time Won't Let Me and was revised from the sort of horrible version I wrote years ago, and created with the idea of a lesbian sister in mind. I don't even know how I got that idea. :$ I just wanted to do something different, and more accurate. So read it, review it, flame it, criticize it, I don't care.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4840190/1/Forbidden_Fruit - It's based on the bit in the book where Slyvia started hanging around Johnny. It's a oneshot. I worked my ass off for this, but it hasn't got much attention. Please read and review, I know it's a Johnny fic but I haven't made him pathetic. I swearz! Revieeeeew *hypnotic eyes* @_@ Please. I also have Dally/Sylvia oneshot, for the Dally lovers (which, I know are plentiful :P) It's how they first met. *insert hypnotic eyes again* http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4826766/1/Doughnuts_Coffee Edited by Hippie, May 30 2009, 11:17 AM.

My story's already kind of got a thread below, but what the heck, might as well put it up here, too ^_^ It's called Mr. Dating Machine and it's mostly focused on Darry because I decided he needed more love on ff.net. So, Darry's going out on a date so the gang decides to...erm...celebrate. You'll see, it does actually make sense. Well, I hope. :) http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5088519/1/Mr_Dating_Machine It's my first Outsiders fanfic, so I'd really appreciate any sort of feedback, particularly on characterization. |

Quotes to Live By: Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that ass upside the head. He who stands on a windowsill to see how far out he can lean without falling is a moron. If you wish on a falling star it might come true... Unless it's a meteor hurdling to earth... Then no wishes come true... Unless your wish was to be killed a meteor hurdling to earth. | |

Mars, I also enjoyed your chapter and I think it would make a great original work. As soon as my job stops kicking my ass (in 7 more school days) I am hoping to have a lot more time to leave well-thought out reviews. I mean, I could have done the "OMG That was soooo good" thing but I think you deserve better than that and until I retain ownership of my brain from work I am afraid I can't manage much better. |

If you're going to turn it into original, and you're not getting reviews on ffnet, maybe it's better to take it down and post it in lj under friends lock? |

I tried doing the LJ friends lock for writing before, and I didn't really get much feedback there and gave up 8 chapters in, not that anyone noticed lol. I'm thinking I may have to find a real-life writing group or I'll never get anything original done. |

I've updated Born to Run and would really love some more feedback. At the moment I'm getting two, maybe three reviews per chapter and, even though most of the reviews are awesome and more than "OMG this is so good!" I would really appreciate more of any kind of feedback :D |

Okay, well then, given the opportunity, I am always looking for more feedback on my one-shots/short pieces. I do them by POV, so I'll list them that way here, since I know certain people like to read certain things/characters/POV’s. I try to please everyone…Any commentary/feedback is always appreciated. I hope you enjoy. Most of them are quick reads. DARRY POV: Just a Moment: Darry's musings on hitting Ponyboy. Posted in response to the WSOTT January rumble prompt, things you would like to forget. One-shot. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4783217/1/Just_a_Moment PONYBOY POV: Something Like a Star: A year to the day after that fateful night on which events were set into action that changed lives - and ended some, as well, Ponyboy returns to the lot to reflect on the past year and find solace in the darkness. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5109685/1/Something_Like_a_Star Their Hands: Ponyboy found that he needed to write something else before he could get started on his essay that night. Something else had happened when the brothers had made peace, something important. One-shot. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4776659/1/Their_Hands (ABOUT STEVE) Looking for the Whales: None of them had the slightest idea about the beast that lurked in the soul of Steve Randle, until, finally, it had to come up for air. One-shot. Implied rape, incest. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4824827/1/Looking_for_the_whales TWO_BIT POV: Unlikely: Two-Bit and Marcia run into each other a few months after that fateful night. What happens is, to say the least, surprising. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4786831/1/Unlikely DALLAS POV: Visitor's Hours: Dallas gets a surprise visit from a friend while in the hospital. Rated T because...uh, he's Dallas Winston, and he has a little bit of an anger problem. One-Shot. Happy Good Fic Day! http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4840366/1/Visitors_Hours TIM POV: Calling his Bluff: Tim finds out about Dally's death. Rated T for lots of language. One-shot. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4730995/1/Calling_his_Bluff JOHNNY POV: Johnny gets Bold: It was that day that Johnny realized that he was somebody, that he had a worth, a potential all his own. A bit of a literary experiment. Maybe one-shot, maybe I'll continue, with less boldness... http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4808792/1/Johnny_gets_Bold SODA POV: Hedging your Bets: Sodapop Curtis finds himself in a position of having to decide between right and wrong, and family and justice. What he decides to choose may surprise even himself. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4869383/1/Hedging_your_Bets 3rd POV (about Darrel Curtis, Sr.): The Content of his Character: Darrel Curtis, Sr. is a good man. But is he the kind of man who would risk everything he has to help a stranger? One-shot. Pre-book, obviously. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4817493/1/The_Content_of_his_Character |

I once, on this board proposed my idea for writing "Seven Deadly Sins," - One sin each for the seven greasers. I asked for input as to who should get which sin. Unfortunately, I lost all your input in the board purge, , but I have taken it on, regardless. Would love any input. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5389903/1/Seven_Deadly_Sins |
