abuseIt was alright, I just found your 'bellie pie' character to be extremely, I don't know, flawed. I'm not sure that you wanted her to sound like a brat who is actually good inside, or just a brat... or not a brat at all. Just the whole annoying thing you built up in the first chapters made her giving up on Lee so quickly a little forced. I don't see how he could value her friendship as a sister either, her character was pretty nauseating.

You held my attention for five chapters, so I guess it wasn't that bad of a concept.

abuseWhoa. Whoa. Okay. This was not the ending I expected, but in a way, it made sense. I read one of the reviews saying how it's actually rather offending if a friend says he wants to make her straight and everything, and I'm actually very glad you accepted her comment and made use of it.

The whole story became more real, (though frankly,I was a wee-bit disgusted at the masturbation part. Do guys really ** while watching **? ... You know what, I don't even wanna know.) and I loved it that way!

Yay! You're done! NOW ON TO OTHER STORIES DARLING. :)

abuseFirst off, this might sound a wee bit offensive, but I don't really mean it that way. There just isn't a better way to phrase it.

I think this story makes your heroine, at the least, seem completely and totally ignorant, which makes me wonder if you in turn have ever been around a real gay person. Now, I'm female, but I'm mostly attracted to girls at this point in my life (I'm bisexual), and in this case, gay is gay. We're not 'confused heteros in denial', which is how your supposedly-gay character, Lee, comes off.

Also, your plotline is a touchy subject in the GLBT community, and I'm not sure you realize that. I'd be extremely offended if one of my male friends said, "I'm going to make you straight." and that would be grounds for ending the friendship altogether. I would never be friends with someone who just couldn't accept the fact that I was gay.

As it stands, both of your characters are sort of flat and 2-dimensional. Belle comes off as a vapid, ignorant romantic who has no idea of what being gay is, and Lee comes off as a dim stereotype who also has no idea of what being gay is.

You're not a bad writer, but you need to work on letting the reader get to know the characters, and I would suggest treating the issue at hand ('converting' a gay person, which has a lot of negative connotations) with a bit more tact. A little research goes a long way.

abuseThis is cute. It reminds me of the relationship between my exboyfriend (now gay) and myself. We're still great friends but I still love him to death. I always go up to him and shake him yelling "I'm gonna shake the gay out of you!" But's all good because he agreed that if he was straight that he would still date me. That was a nice sort of closure for me.

This reminds me of that. It seems to have an interesting plot and I can't wait to see what else happens. I'm too lazy to sign in but Distorted-Sky is my pen name on this site. Great Work.
