Chances are, you came here looking for a story.1
Um… sorry about that, but in order to submit this to my school Literary Journal competition, I needed to take it down. But no worries! It’s only temporary, and by the time they come back up in a few months, they’ll be full of new and shiny edits for you to enjoy.
In the meantime, read something else, and try not to judge me so much by the older crap~ 2

I have nothing to say. Honestly!! I have nothing to say. A whole lotta nothing…
…Do you smell something burning?? Oh… it's just the nostalgia. You see, the fake kind has a lower melting point. =DDD Also, I need to practice writing more.
Dude POV. I hope that comes across because 1. I don't have any, if many, gender-specific pronouns and 2. If I'm doing 1st person, nine times out of ten it'll be a dude and if I'm not sounding like one, that's bad even though 3. I'm not one.
Ooh… April 3rd contest close date~. That's my sisters' birthday. (They're twins!! So it's a super-special day~)
One time in our backyard my sister (other sister) and I climbed the tree in our backyard, and I got pretty high, but I had to stop because electric wires were in the way… o.o
I don't think I'd ever climb trees now… they're way too dirty.

This is beautiful and I love it.
You have a few typos, but I overlooked them because they were just that, and because I was sort of overwhelmed with this.
I love this piece a lot and I think it just has a lot of feeling, and meaning and the characters are so... relatable even if you don't go into much detail with them.
I like the casual air that this is written with, the mood and tone are so easy and light that it just makes the reading quick and personal.
I love this a lot, I can just.. connect. I can't even put to words how I felt when I read it.
Thank you so much for entering, good luck, and I apologize that it's taken me so long to comment. (:

Incredible
I'm at a loss of words, this story is so beautiful, so deep, so fragile I feel like if i read it to many times I'll break it, the emotions are so real, the made up (if they are) memories are so vivid I almost want to cry... defiantly one of the best pieces I've read.

Thanks~
Glad to have impacted you.

Wow! There was something really beautiful, captivating, and realistic about this. It touched me so much that I started crying. I used to be in love with boy when I was younger, but I haven't seen or talked to him in so long, so I guess this story hit me near home. I can just see someone sitting down and taking the time to write this, memories fading and entering through their mind, one after the other. It's almost like a letter, and it explained their relationship so wonderfully. I can tell they really cared about each other. Please please please write more to this. It was so gorgeous, and I would love to read more of it.

Wow, its a really moving story. I loved the way the story was set up like one lover writing to another about memories of a past time. It also has the sad touch of reality to it. I'd like to know if they met again. Keep writing.

for some reason, I really like this story. Meh...
-
WOW.
That's literally all I can say. This captured me, this simple love story. I love how it's like a letter that the other will never read... like talking to a dead person at their grave. I love that. It's so unrelenting, so caught in the moment. Absolutely amazing.
-
Great! I love the way you made the story go full circle from the act of climbing the tree the first and back to it in the end. That's pure art! The sign of a really good writer. But you need to re-read that'll catch the few flaws I spotted. Otherwise i

this almost seemed like a love letter, it was very sweet, heartfelt and I liked how it was written, although I was a bit confused about whether or not it was a guy or a girl, but the author notes cleared that up for me.
good write

You're absolutely amazing with your writing ability. The descriptions, the turns the plot took, the relationship and the skill with which you tied at all together is awesome.
Thank you for entering this into the contest. You really took the picture and ran with it, bringing it all the way back around with his arm hurting at the thought and talking about remember the tree and...it was just a very enjoyable read.
I loved the line "...and you were stupid and followed."
You even took liberty with the author's notes, making me smile. Happy birthday twins! (And I'm a twin! Way to write to my strengths...
)
-
-
Not true, but thanks anyways~
And I always take liberty on my authors notes. It's more of tendency to talk too much than anything.
Are you and your twin identical or fraternal??
