Say, What? Tennis fics Feedback/Discussion Thread

[tini]

More time today..
So thanks for the welcome
You girls made me really into reading fan fictions lol Never read stories about real people because most of the time they are really weird and cheesy..14 years old girls who put themselves into the stories with an happy ending and their favorite athlete/ singer/ actor..but different here, all so well written and great plots!!!

Dina,
yes, meant your stories too, sorry for not mentioning them in the first post. Really liked I'd miss you even if I didn't know you..so well written but so sad at the end!! Loved the GA parts in that story, were fitting really well into it, the parts with the children were so sweet..why she had to die??? Well, non happy ending make stories more special...and great poem at the end, one of my favs
Sweet Sins and Beautiful Scars , just read your last chapter, glad his memory is coming back slowly..the parts he remembered really confusing and great the same time ...but what is going on with that father! Well, guess not all of them are great ones...Oh and the shower part was really steamy! Great one!

Annie,
My Angel's Watching Over Me, was the first one I read and made me addicted to all others..Just loved it, the flashbacks when they were children were great and he whole feelings between them..just hoped she wouldn't die, but even that was written really beautiful..the time they could spend together and the last moments..but hard to read sad stories in public ..Marat really hasn't an easy life in that stories..glad you decided to write another one!
Love how Marat and Hallie get closer each time, the feelings for each other without giving in and telling the other person but like Dina said too slow lol Can't wait what will happen next..who will cause some problems (Ivan..)..really like how I have no idea what will happen next...and would love to have brothers like this..

Tally,
what can I say..read the whole story in a few days even I had my own work to do..like the different characters in that story (well not all) and what happened in that time and how they developed through it all... really liked the Valencia parts, the time with Dima in California, how they managed to get back together every time..and also really like Dima and Dina together, kind of cute..but the end of chapter 150 there were some big shocks in that story but that one, hope they manage the sort things out and someday they will be happy even just for a few chapters..the other ending with Marat in Himalaya and saying goodbye was so sad and beautiful (especially the scenes with the flag and the heart) but really glad you didn't let her die!!!
for the new chapter: Andy will never give up will he lol but he makes a good friend..and good Emma decided to see Marat! 150 chapters are a lot but hope you won't finish it soon..

Sorry for the long text..but it just came out lol...and after not giving FB while reading it, I had to do it now..
Looking forward to more from all of you and take care

Hey Tini - thanks for the great feedback. So glad you enjoyed the fic and thankd for reading. Also glad you liked the first ending, but weren't disappointed when I scrapped that one and decided to continue. It has been (and still is) such fun to write. Love it when other people say they like it.

And we look forward to some stories from you in the near future.

[tinuviel]

Have been continuing to load up more fiction and you will be pleased to know that the first part of Vienna Waltz - Chapters 1-25 are up there now. I have also included the Epilogue (very sad ending) which was to have been my original ending.

As all the older fans will know this was soon superceeded by lots more chapters - so lots more to come.

Oh and when I re-read that Epilogue after posting I was so choked up that I'm going to have to have a lie down now!

[tini]

Tally, you are welcome I wasn't disappointed at all after reading two heartbreaking stories I needed a change (even I loved those stories)!! And was so much fun to read the other 100+ chapters!

Just read the first ending again

Not sure about writing something on my own, never did that and to write a story in English, could be some difficult task to do But who knows maybe I will find some time and inspiration...

[tinuviel]

Aaaw! Sorry to make you cry (again) sweetie.

And I'm sure you could have a go sometime. All you have to do is try - maybe a short story first.

[Annaya]

Tini, thank you for the wonderful feedback. Its really nice to know people appreciate what you've done. And I'm glad you love "Angel" Lemme tell you that was so emotional, I cried writing every sad part, especially the last parts coming to her death. As for "Hope", I had to write it...I couldn't leave Marat in such a sad state...and of course the readers too! LOL. And yes, seems Hal's brothers are getting some attention too...(personally, Keith's kinda my guy...but I have to be fair and try not to play favorites!)

Anyway, everyone, I am so sorry for not posting the next chapter soon. My computer crashed and I'm using my iPod to browse right now. For the meantime, I'm still going to work on it and hopefully get my comp fixed soon too. As for the story itself, I think even I find it a bit slow. I'm gonna try to finish with that phase so we can get going to the next "stage" with H&M.

And before I forget, I see we have a new member--Audrey! Welcome to the boards and thanks for registering!

[tinuviel]

Yes I noticed we had a new member called Audrey too. Welcome from me too. Great to have the numbers increasing.

Are you the 'Holly' Audrey or is that just a coincidence? Hope that isn't too cheeky a question.

[audrey]

hi everyone
just registered the other day.
yes, it's me, Audrey from TGFR.
i wanted to keep reading everyone's fan fic so i thought i'd join and i would also like to continue posting mine here, too (all the stories are fantastic by the way, i'm really enjoying all of them!).
thanks for the warm welcome.

[tini]

Well, if I ever give it a try, I don't plan 150 chapters lol But who knows..maybe if I'm out of the library someday...

You are welcome Annie, it was also really emotional to read it But thankfully you continued to write because you really couldn't leave him is such a sad state..and us of course!
Hope you can fix the computer soon and good to know that you also realised that is is too slow lol

Hi Audrey, not sure if I read you story too but would like to if you post it here or I find the link on TGFR

Hi Gang

I am working hard at transferring a lot of my fiction across to this site, but it will take quite a while before I'm there. Have done the first 30 chapters or so, so far.

For those who are waiting for the latest chapter I have posted Chapter 152 of Vienna Waltz on my blog (access via my profile on this site.) Please leave a comment if you enjoy reading it (or even if you don't - just don't be too harsh on me
