I don't find it too bleak. Wasn't really that depressing, more just too serious. A little bit of funny would have made it a more enjoyable read.
People could say that about Unwind or The Hunger Games, too. Lots of books (well, Dystopian books of course) deal with bleak themes but in a way that makes them easier to swallow.

I agree with Cer. Sure, the premise is shit-all-happens-and-the-world-sucks, but the story itself was centered around hope and believing in your dreams.
...Which is almost cheesy enough to turn me off of it. (Pssst, Cer, what did you think of the ending?)

Whoa. My traffic records for my Lost fanfiction spike on weekends, understandably, but also on Wednesdays and somewhat Thursdays (Lost eppies come out on Wednesdays)
Funny what a difference that makes. Watching the episode makes people look for fanfiction. That makes sense. I certainly follow that pattern. Just didn't realize how visible the trend was.

Oh, its okay.
I'm studying applied math so I must love it (right? Right!). It is just that I've been working on this one assignment and now I'm a little tired. Not a real problem... I Repped you an answer about the ending so as not to spoil anybody =)
Have you heard anything about a sequel, though? I think it might be better a standalone, more poignant and meaningful that way, but I'd read a sequel.

On fanfiction: I can't stand really AU fanfiction. If they live in L.A. and are private detectives and have never met, then they're hardly Jack and Kate from Lost, are they? Why not just make up your own characters if you're making up a setting and a story?
Oh well. To each his own.
But then there's crossover AU fiction. *growls*

Yeah, Terri, that's neat. The Hunger Games could have (maybe should have?) been like that, too, but the ending would have to have been done a particular way . . . oh well, I never complain when a good book has a sequel. More for me to read and enjoy.
Oh, Sorry, I shouldn't assume that everyone is as much a fanfiction-reading-loser as me. AU = alternate universe. Non-cannon. They don't follow the storyline of whatever show/book/whatever the fanfic is based on.
*finishes Pretties*
*hates it*
*wants to throw it across the room and then return it to the bookstore*

GOD CIERA YOU COULD BE A MODEL!!!!
I'm sooooooo jealous.
I'm now 5'4.75". I was so happy at the doctor's.
Scottish and Chinese--yeah, most people I know are Jewish and Chinese. I'm different.
Ah. Got it. I can see how that would irritate people. Nack in my Twilight fangirl days, I came across one particular FF where Edward was a human war vetera or something and Bella was a bellydancer married to Mike.
It was odd.

LMFAO PEACHIE.
And hi, Tilt. c: -peers at sig- ...Um. What happened to the 24k or so you had of Remembered? -is probably late in noticing that the wordcount has dramatically decreased-

Terri--I decided the 20K was no good, so I scrapped all of it, besides the beginning, which I'm re-writing. I haven't gotten around to updating the siggy yet (need to check word counts), so it's probably at 6-7K right now.
On another note, I played a short hymn at church today (as well as a longer one, which I got perfectly right).
Out of the 8 chords in the short one, I got 5 wrong.
The worst part was that my mom wasn't around to hear it and after the service, everyone was like, "Was that your daughter playing the piano?"
And she was very proud of me when she said yes.

Lol your 'ETA' came out 'EAT'
EAT WHAT HR? WHATTTTTT? WHAT ARE YOU EATING???
Chinese and Jewish? Wow. Didn't realize that combo was so common.
I don't think I've ever met a Jew. Seriously. They're not too common around here, especially in my Catholic school. We have every other nationality in spades, though. There are a lot of Middle Eastern people in North Edmonton, actually, and (at my school, at least) Philipinio kids are the second largest majority, after White kids. But no Jews.

MY TUMBLARITY IS 165!!!!!
I've been waiting for this moment. It's like your popularity on Tumblr.
I've escalated from untouchable (tumblarity 0) to normal (165).

XD She's making fun of me for typo'ing. Have you no shame, Cer!? No shame.
ANYWAYS. WHY DO YOU HATE PRETTIES.
I must examine this peculiar phenomenon.
