This is a great story, lol I tried printing it and ended up with 195 pages. I now have a rather large stack of paper in my closet.

Other than that I am loving it so far, it a really great story. Good job...

Thanks again to everyone for the positive comments. This one ended up being so long because I didn't limit myself...when I don't force myself to make stories short, my ideas just kind of keep coming and I just roll with them.

It's funny, though...I hadn't gone back and read this story in years, and a few days ago I went back and read the first parts. It's interesting the things that strike me...little things that could have been changed (I don't know if anyone picks up on how Cody's language and speaking style as a narrator is completely different in the beginning as opposed to a bit later in the story), but also how long the conversations and descriptions were...sometimes I'm surprised people keep an interest in it while reading it!

But I think what helped to make this story so popular is I really tried to get inside the characters' heads and make it seem like it was real. My biggest strength in story writing for me is being able to get across emotions. So because I really got into it with my imagination and really connected with the characters, it makes it easier for readers to get into it as well. I think people tend to sympathize with Cody...he's put in a horrible situation (even though it's some *B's fantasy

) and I think most people can't help but pull for him and see if he ends up getting out of it or not.

Hmmm....when I first posted this on tbn I also posted a very long topic about my thoughts on this story...I may do that here too. It's very long winded, but there might be some interest in it.

I thought it was good, but I have to say one thing. NO SEQUELS! Anything more would seem forced. It's perfect the way it is(well, maybe not PERFECT...)

I would like to commend you on your writing. It kept me interested. I actually read this a while ago and I'm just commenting now.

anyway, good job.

I just spent about 4 and a half hours reading the rest of this story... beautiful... I. Love. It.

It was very emotional, very well written. Although there is Tracy for the catholic school, what about here? I think Cody should have got together with her later on.

None the less, loved it. I will probably read it again, many many times!
