Alright. Well, it's nice to see something, even if you say it's not much. It'll do.
And I've heard that my story's good for inspiration, if you can survive the very detailed description.
Anywho, I like the adds. You do a good job of turning Justine's father into an easily unlikable character. The way he keeps ruining all her moments with Lucas is really sad. Great development as always, especially in bringing in the Prince and expanding him a bit.
I didn't notice any obvious mistakes, so nice job there.
Also, I just noticed your TTTC quote. 'Tis a good book. I had to read it for summer reading this year.

Yeah, Justine's dad is a bad guy. Although I should think of ways to put him into more of a gray area...I don't like flat, one-sided characters. Hmm.
The Prince, hopefully, if this goes the way I intend, will play a large role.
The Things They Carried is a great book. Probably the only book I've ever had to read for school I really, really liked. It's like the complete inspiration for this story. =P
I'll try to get to your story. I'm barely getting school stuff done these days, but let me know the title of your story (Sorry that I don't know...>_&lt and I'll be glad to check it out when I have a chance.
And welcome to the new reader.

Well, it's War's Finale, and it's long, so if you're busy, there's no hurry.
And I share very, very similar sentiments on TTTC. Knowing that it was the inspiration for this'll probably make me view the plot in a different way. Anywho, I await more adds.

Oh, jeez =P I don't know how much it'll follow it NOW, since I read it at the end of last year... Well, I guess a lot of the war stories/post-traumatic stress stuff. Don't look for too many connections though...
I'll try to add this weekend. It's been like ages since I added on anything, and TD* adds are long overdue. I may have the time this weekend, so my priorities are there. Sorry.

Alright. Well, it's nice to know you're alive, at least. After 10 days, I begin to wonder.

That's no good. It just gets worse and worse through high school, doesn't it? :S
Anyway, it was only seven days this time. You're getting better.

Yeah, definitely. Although my sister seems to be having an easier senior year, so maybe there's hope. Not sure I'll survive this year though...
No chance of adds this weekend. I'm swamped. This has been a hellish week all around, so sorry...

'tis alright. Maybe over Thanksgiving or something.
And my senior year is by far my hardest yet.
