Reviews For: Who Really Believes in Happily Ever Afters?

Hed in the Cloudz 2008-06-13 ch 1,	abuseI like how the narrator keeps contradicting herself. The formatting, the fact that some of it's just musing while other bits include the reader-- it's excellently done! Great work and all that. :D
Adela Micah 2008-05-30 ch 1,	abuseSo very true. All my friends say that I'm too pesimistic, and that I rain on their parade when it comes to relationships in their stories. I agree with this. There never really is a Happily Ever After, because that's not the end. More problems always come up, the author just doesn't feel like ruining the illusion of perfect they created. I really don't mind the ranting, I tend to rant myself, though, most of my ranting is about something that doesn't matter. Way to go.
Skystripe 2008-05-25 ch 1,	abuseI know how you feel.
CynicallyOptimistic 2008-05-15 ch 1,	abuseMy thoughts exactly. Nice piece.
cup of glee and sparkles 2008-05-13 ch 1,	abuseThat's so sad. I think the thing about Prince Charming is that each person has their own-- and it's sorta true that what makes people perfect are their imperfections. I dunno, I believe in all of that, but on the other hand, I feel the same and I don't believe that love can be real... and yes, I have been told I'm too naive and bipolar-esque. Um, does the guy you fall for have to be Prince Charming anyways? Or isn't it better just to be with the guy who's perfect for you at that moment? But if that's what you mean by P.C., then yeah, I know. Hard to find. Be happy-- life's not really that sucky!
A Reviewer 2008-05-13 ch 1, anon.	abuseA wondeful rant, I agree on several of your points.
Singingperson 2008-05-12 ch 1,	abuseI've toyed with this idea for a long time. I actually decided that "Happily Ever Afters are not when a guy falls in love with a girl or a girl falls in love with a guy, but when someone dies, truley happy." I know that's a bit morbid..but that's my two cents on the whole business. Yet, I love Disney movies, romance stories, and generally any story with a happily ever after. I think we delude ourselves into thinking that life can contain perfection, which I really don't think it can. To say "happily ever after," really does imply perfection, IMO. Personally, I've fallen in love with a guy and he really count do nearly anything and I would still love him. I think that he is my "true love," but he's far from perfect and I know he will never be. Much less I, myself. I would love it if Prince Charming existed, but I think life might just be really boring. Life would just be too easy, plain and simple. I think I've found my real-life and wonderfully flawed Prince Charming. I'm still going to enjoy "happily ever afters" and pretend I believe in them for the sake of a good read, but I am...no longer such a romantic. I've now mixed romance with realism. Sorry for the extremely long review/ rant. Thank you for posting this. I'm glad I'm not the only one with many doubts.
