Betsy Anne 2007-12-04 ch 2,	abuseHey, that's pretty good. I don't know how to describe it, just... Good job. Keep writing.
Angels Broken Shadow 2007-11-09 ch 2,	abuseDon't know why this took me so long to realise you edited it. Probably just me being stupid. Anyway, I can't think of words to describe how much this story really touches me. I think it's beautiful. Well written, brilliantly expressed, just all round incredible.
Twilight Starr 2007-10-28 ch 2,	abuseThat was a sweet ending. :D ~Twilight Starr~
Twilight Starr 2007-10-28 ch 1,	abuseInteresting and intriguing character. You have me wondering why she is the way she is, which I believe was your intention. Good job! Good luck with writing, this story, and life. Have a brilliant day. ~Twilight Starr~
Hell Is A Place 2007-09-27 ch 2,	abuseMm...horsehead nebula. So down to the basics. It's a short, simple story about a girl trying to overcome something, OCD. She overcomes this with an encounter with a boy (hawt stuff) and the twist is that he has it. Now, it's all up to the author and to the reader, but can this story be better with a different way of writing? If OCD is a series of tricks and repetitions and annoyances, would writing in that style convey that feeling or would it be too convoluted to tell a story? I was hoping the ending would be some large, wandering paragraph that throws the reader into the obsessive mind, but the ending went another way with the happy ending. It's not a bad ending. And specifically there were some cool details like Horsehead Nebula and corn flakes. It's easy to tell the writer knows what she's talking about. I would have written it a different way, but I'm not you, so how could I have written it? Instead, it was written by you, I can't change that and all I can do is read it or suggest a change. What does this mean? I don't know. Maybe I should end the review. Here.
Lord Draken 2007-09-27 ch 2,	abuseIts a very well written story that honestly addresses and issue that I'm sure we can all understand. It sounds great. I do think that the idea that her teachers don't know about her disorder is a little odd. Its not something realistically possible considering the circumstances of her OCD. I do however believe you captured the mentality of the students really well. While I wish you could focus more on what's going on outside her OCD I see that you already face a challenge of expressing the dominance of the OCD in her life. Still, really great job.
FallenAngelForever 2007-09-26 ch 2,	abuseGreat story! You have an excellent writing style!
Bethany Bowen 2007-09-20 ch 1,	abuseI really like this story. I love the descriptions of how she feels and her behaviors, and I love the idea that she could get better. The author's note made the story especially sweet to me. Great job!
FrankCastle09 2007-08-25 ch 1,	abuseHey, I just joined review revolution and I was kind of browsing through the different members, seeing what type of stuff people write and you seem to be one of the more active people so thought I'd check out your work. I just finished this and let me say, I applaud you. You've done an excellant job really capturing the essence of OCD and how a person with OCD might act/think/say, etc. I think you're a great writer just for that reason alone because as I'm thinking about it, I imagine that's a very hard thing to do. The characters all felt real, none of them forced, the story flowed smoothly, it was very original and touching. I just really enjoyed it all around. I felt bad for Brittany for being such an outcast and for the way everyone sees her, all because of something she really has no control over, especially in that type of environment. I also really enjoyed the ending, particularly the final line which was a fantastic way to go out. I really enjoyed this and I look forward to reading more of your work. :)
FreakierThanThou 2007-08-24 ch 1,	abuseThat was great. I love the way you describe the different things that Brittany does from her point of view, even if it's third person. You don't make it seem like it's written by someone who doesn't understand what she's going through but is pretending to in order to be the narrator. It's a very compassionate story, that's the only word I can think of for it. The dialogue, though, seems a little odd. Not the way they say things (Is and Ts) but more... what they're saying? "I don't know what to say." That could be just me, though. Other than that, I really like it. Seeing everyone else from Brittany's point of view, and then seeing Adam from her point of view were really great. I love your style, too, it fits the story perfectly. Keep writing, -Fran
SamanthaNicole 2007-08-24 ch 1,	abuseThis story was very eye-opening, not to mention one of the most interesting things I've had the chance to read here. I love the way you captured Brittany's compulsions - my cousin has OCD, and it's one thing to witness it, and another entirely to know how they're feeling. Thank you for the insight. Your style of writing is genius, and I hope to see more from you soon. Lovely, lovely job. Cheers, Sammy
TheDivineCreations 2007-08-23 ch 1,	abuseOMG! Are you kidding me? I dont have OCD to the point where i'd scream if it happened, I dont even think that a doctor would Diagnose me with it, but whoa, I do just what Brittany was doing while i'm walking sometimes! I've never heard of someone in fiction or otherwise doing exactly that where they walk in the tiles. I can usually snap myself out of it b/c I refuse to be controlled by anything that is just in my head. But wow, i'm probably babbling like an idiot but you dont know how cool that was when I read that.
Penance for her sins 2007-08-22 ch 1,	abuseWell, I found this through ‘Pay it forward’, and am very glad because of it. You seem to cover all the proper bases concerning your writing you have excelled in areas such as punctuation, grammar, and overall style. Therefore, constructive criticism on my part is quite limited. Thanks for the great read, it was refreshing to read something so striking (regarding the story's subject matter). Congrats on writing this wonderful one-shot!
Blackeri 2007-08-21 ch 1,	abuse-hugs Blysse- I loved this. I caught the show about OCD on Tyra [Don't.Say.Anything.] and I really felt humbled by all those people who had problems like that. It made me wonder how many people in my school were walking around masking it. Thanks for such a great story on OCD and I loved the ending.
Dani P 2007-08-10 ch 1,	abusegreat story. you're writing style is very good and i like how you ended the story with a catchy line. overall good job.
