*picks jaw up from floor* WOW. parrish, what a truely AMAZING and emotional story. Just wow. You are one awesome writer and I hope that you continue writing...maybe even publish something professionally *hint hint* :D I'm so glad that you decided to share such a personal story with us. I feel honored and am SO glad I had the opportunity to read it. To change Shania's song a little bit, you DO impress me much. :Bthumb Can't wait to read your next story!!!

ay ay ay... that gave me chills at the end... and it didn't help that it's very dark in my house right now, i'm home alone, and it's raining..
Very awesome though, truly great story parrish, be proud :)

*majorly blushing*

Thanks gang. Really. I'm so glad you liked it.

Oh, and I *am* trying to get things published. I'll let you know if I do. It wouldn't be hard to tell though, since I'm sure I'd be bouncing around the forum like crazy. :)

Come to think of it, I *do* have something I need to send off to try and get in print....

Parrish

Have to say what a nice ending, I read it just before I went to bed so I went to sleep all happy! Hope you manage to get something in print, good luck with that!

Hey Parrish!
whatever it is that you publish ... I want my copy signed !! :D

heheh :)

yeah parrish...just like smeli faces i wantmy copy sign...
although its impossible for me to purchase it coz im too damn far frm you....

*laughs*

Well, when I get my next paycheck I'm going to pick myself up a writer's guide, so I'll know a good listing of people that might actually want my stuff. :) So we'll see.

Oh, this is a funny story you all might enjoy. I'd told a friend of mine about my writing and got her to read CETT and FFY. She'd been hanging out with me at my work, and I work third shift, so this was fairly late when she left.

She made the mistake of reading it before she was going to go to bed. A few hours later I get a call from her, cussing me out because now she *can't* sleep. :) The emotional rollercoaster of both fics really got to her. On one hand, I kinda felt bad...but on the other I was like "YES!! I GOT HER!!" LOL

Because this is someone who rarely reads, and I've *never* known her to get emotional about something she's read. A bit of a victory for me. :)

Parrish

Haha, parrish-100000000, writer's block- ZERO :D

That ending was so good!!! I couldn't think of a better way this story could have ended. Wow Parrish, great job!! And also thanks for sharing your story with us.

Wow, parrish, I really admire how much of yourself you give to write your stories, and it trully shows as all of them (well, all the ones you've shown us :) ) turn out amazing. Your writing has touched my heart in a way that I can't describe..

I agree with pacmangirl. Parrish, honestly, I really, really, REALLY hate to read, but I just can't stop when it comes to fanfictions, especially yours! You have a way with making your readers identify with the characters and utterly FEEL for them (not necessarily feel sorry for them, just plain feel for them). That's talent and I hope that you get that piece of work published that you were talking about because I know I'll sure as heck buy it and darn it, I want it signed! lol :D

One of the users at least has it on their HD, either wait till they upload it to http://www.parrishverse.com/parrish/index.html or ask them for the file directly!

Hi,

I found that page already. It's not on the new parrishverse yet, and I have emailed that user directly but got no reply. So I fear it won't be online there any time soon, too bad.

But thanks a lot! ^^
