I've read almost all her books and I love each and every single one. But do you think that in the romance ones she can be a little, how do I say this, over the top or something? She doesn't describe intimate scenes, but some can be quite suggestive. What do you think?

I agree completly, i love her writing but i just finished redeeming love and it made me feel uncomfortable at times. However I was able to read it in good concience. I feel that as far as books like that go if it leads you to imagine the scene that it's hinting at you shouldn't read it, it's causing you to sin. However this particular book I was ok with. Just be careful what you put into your mind.

I read that book too. I thought it was great. I could relate to the almost everything about her. It was a good book, and i would recommend it as an escape, from all the bad things in your life, and that it is overall a relatable book to any teen, turning a teen, has been a teen, and so on. I liked the book the most because i wanted to keep going and going. It wasn't boring or draggin. The plot always came back. I actually read that book, and loved it, and your real friends and teacher will love whatever you write.

You have to know her, well her history.\nShe was kind of a smartass.\nIt is really not that deep.  She knows what people think of her and the "they" is the outside world.  \nShe is showing she is happy to be a nobody because she says "how dreary to be someone" because to her being a someone is sort of like being a conformist.  She sees herself as different, which makes her a nobody to the someones, which makes her strange. \nIt is one of my favorite poems, especially since she says \n\n"Then there ’s a pair of us—don’t tell!\n\nThey ’d banish us, you know."\nIn a way, she's telling everyone who thought she was a weirdo, up theirs.  Although most of her poems were published and then read after her death...that's besides the point.  ;)

I liked it and thought it was quite good and imaginative.  The only thing I didn't think was plausible about it was the name for your mother, as it does not fit in with common names of Roman or Greek goddesses.  Sorry.  Other than that, here are just a few editing suggestions for you.  Feel free to take them or leave them, as this is your story, after all.  \n\nedit: (I had anger issues at the time).\nreplace with: \nI guess you could say I had some anger issues at the time.  (makes it sound more playful)\n\nIn the sentence after that, reword it so that it doesn't use the words "many different plagues, many different disasters" repetitively.  \n\nedit: I also tried to destroy the world, but my mother brought this curse upon me first"--you should just change it to brought *A* curse upon me first (flows better).  \n\nedit: "Unfortunately for me, I always cause some sort of trouble in each of my lives, whether I'm using my magick for evil, or just being naughty and mischievous."  replace it with that, because it'll flow better.\n\nedit:  As many people know, it's forbidden for a goddess to love a mortal, but I still went to down to earth, pretended to be human and tried to make him fall for me. \nreplace with:\nNaturally it's forbidden for a goddess to love a mortal, yet I went down to earth anyway so that I could pretend to be a human and make him fall for me.  (flows better)\n\nSorry, I get very focused on editing.  Good luck, and it's very creative.  I enjoyed reading it.

She should be with Jack. He took her under his wing from the very beginning. He has always cared for her, but I think that his feelings were hurt when she started showing some much affection for Sawyer in the hatch when he was near death. Kate always punishes herself for what she did to her Father (Killed him), and does not allow herself to be with an honest, good man. She wants it, but pushes them away. When she was Married to the Cop, she probably could have stayed after she told him, but drugged him instead and left. She's damaged goods, but Jack could help turn her life back around. Sawyer is just a con-artist, a deceiver, and a criminal. That's why she identifies with him, thinking that she only deserves a man like him. And so they "mated" last night. I guess that I identify myself more with Jack than Sawyer, so I route for the man that is most like me. Lets face it, Kate is hot in a very natural way. I would bet that most men watching wouldn't mind being on the island with her. Maybe that's what makes the show such a success, everyone can identify with a character. That just gave me an idea for another post. Bye!!!

Apparently a different meaning of 'romance' is 'fantasy', i.e. creativity and the ability to make things up. The girl can tell really believable lies really quickly without having to think about it so that's why it's her specialty.\n\nPretty meaningless if you don't know that meaning of 'romance', though, and I didn't until I read the story.

Looks good to me...  Try placing a comma in the sentence, \nIn 1814(,) when she was seventeen, she eloped ...\n\n\nOther than that little bit, and the occasional typo that spell check didn't catch (see, I noticed the difference!), it is well-written and organized.  Good theme, but I have a personal disagreement with you about how well you liked the book (it happens to be one of my top 10 favorites of all time... \n "The Modern Prometheus"  was the alternate title of the novel; you may want to mention that in the beginning of the report somewhere.

is this your first fanfic? it's pretty good if it's your first! but at some parts, you should add it more detailed. and i think most readers like 3 person pov better.. just some opinion from me and my personal experience, but just saying.. ^ _ ^ KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

Romance stories aren't "original" but then pretty much any story told isn't.  One of the Greatest writers of all time was Shakespeare.  His most memorable romantic story was "Romeo and Juliette" which he, um, borrowed from other European writers. Ditto for Hamlet, Julius Caesar, King Lear... \n\nDon't worry about originality.  It doesn't exist.  Worry about characters.  Are they REAL?  Is this something I can see happening to me, or at least sympathizing with if I don't "agree."  \n\nBut if you want to try and do a romantic story that is different than the rest, perhaps you should try talking about love from the perspective of the outside looking in.  The guy who doesn't get the girl (or the girl who doesn't get the guy).  How he or she feels.  How they rationalize their actions.  How they try hard and fail.  What they hope, what they dream.

In all honesty it is such a lovely poem but once u get to the additional info @ 2 minutes, it is a little bit too full on. I personally am a very romantic sensitive person who also writes stuff, but it goes too deep even for someone like me at that point. Despite this if a guy wrote me that poem i would go totally mushy anyway!

tell her (if you want to be romantic) "i want your love forever." isnt that pretty romantic? :]

I'm glad you asked that, not because I have the answer but because me and my daughter, well . . . me anyways, are reading Moby Dick, and I never remembered it being so detailed on Cetology or in the beginning of the novel before he meets Queequeg.   Maybe I cheated back in my highschool or junior high days and got the Cliff Notes, but I coulda swore I read the book.  Oh well, that's been many decades ago.  I just got past the part where Captain Ahab kicked Stubb (First Mate isn't he??) and Stubb had the dream where someone asks him why is it so bad to be kicked by Ahab since his leg is made of ivory,etc..  My daughter, who lives with her mother about 65 miles southeast of me, probably hasn't read one word of it since she's a lot like her mother, who didn't like to read.  I read "Uncle Tom's Cabin" to her when she was pregnant with either our son or daughter, I can't remember which.  She liked to be read to but wouldn't do it herself, so, I doubt my daughter has read any of "Moby Dick" since she hasn't said anything about it.  Oh well, I'm rambling on.  Sorry.  Maybe I'll continue the book, but the Cetology part is way too detailed and "informational" for me.  I want more "action", and am becoming too addicted to the brainless tv, and too lazy to read fine novels.  I hope you finish the book.  It's a wonderful piece of literature.  God Bless you.

I read a jkr biography...she was never a bad person! yes she was a poor, single parent, but that doesn't make her a bda person...it wasn't her fault she was a single mother and the reason she was porr was because she couldn't write the harry potter books and have a great job at the same time. imagine if she had chosen to have a good amount of money and had given up on HP?? that would have been horrible! So in my opinion, JKR was never a bad person...and I like her too, her books are awesome!

I stopped watching her when she had an author on with a book on the bestseller list, an Oprah Book Club book. Oprah says to the guy, "Of all the authors I've had on my show, you're the first one that hasn't thanked me." implying his book only became a best seller because she endorsed it. Did it ever occur to her that if she liked the book, millions of other people did too? She sat there acting like she wrote it and got it published. All she did was read and like it and expected the author to thank her. At that point, I knew fame had finally gone to her head.

funny you should mention this, I was just thinking the same thing last night. I dont see anything wrong with it,  but maybe what others are looking at is her lifestyle. People have a way of seeking out negative instead of looking at positive. My opinion, good on her she has love to give so why not give it.

i took it as her telling him to pretty much leave her alone b/c the "love" he's giving isn't the love she wants or deserves.  did i just totally misinterpret her lyrics?

my favorite thing about the books is that the characters are ordinary people who have extraordinary things happen to them...I like how she keeps it real..Harry has some serious powers, but still gets all tongue-tied trying to talk to a girl (Cho)\n\nI liked Prisoner of Azkaban the best so far....Half Blood Prince was really good too, but I hated the end....wonder what she has in store for us in book 7?
