Wow, very touching, I liked it a lot. I loved it and I can't wait for the next story you did very well with this one and the last, you're a great author.

Author's Response: Thanks very much :D Glad you liked it, and I'm happy that you're looking forward to the next one :) Thank you so much!!

I'm sorry I'm getting to this so late!! I haven't been on the site a whole lot lately, and I haven't been reading at all really. Anyway, I like the chapter, good detail to it and everything.

0.0 intense. your writing just blows my mind. XD

Author's Response: Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it!! :) Last chapter should be up by Tuesday. THANK YOU!!!

I’m not sure how to respond to this, or if I can even cry at the moment. I swear I'd love to, but it has all been so bitter that all I did was pressing my right hand on my mouth while reading. I... don't like blood, I won't lie, I've never liked it. But well, it's you, and your story, and my tastes can be overlooked, I don't mind.

Now that was a damn cool chapter. I don't think I need to say why, because every word was touching, Bill's rage was obvious and palpable. I was wondering if he ever would be himself again. I know I sound insensible and cruel, but I'm so glad things are going the way they are, Bill not being the singer we all know, etc. It's a really original story, I swear I've never read anything like this in my life. And curiously enough, when I read, I was listening to the song "Life Will Never Be the Same Again" by l'Ame immortelle, lol. What's with this fiction and the music I listen to?...

So... well, you warned it would be graphic, and it really was. At some points I had to rub my wrist against my pants to make sure it wasn’t going to bleed, that kind of suicide always makes me sick like that. Plus, there was another confrontation with his reflection, for which I'll never thank you enough, I love mirrors and the symbolism a writer can dispose of when writing about them. I've never properly read about a character looking into the mirror and seeing a stranger, now an enemy, the worst one in fact. Oh God. I'm summarising the story, that's no good.

Moving on, now that's what I mean by proper length! The chapter was so much longer than the other ones you've written, so much longer than I expected it to be! These chapters are my favourites. Well, it’s just a personal opinion of mine, some people may think that a long chapter turns out boring. I disagree, it keeps me so captivated and interested! So well, I was glued to the screen from the first word to the last one. I really liked it.

Tomi, Tomi, Tomi. Aren’t you being a little childish? Oh God, I’m talking to Tom. He’s being a bit of a kid, yes, and honestly, the fact that he’s mad at Bill makes me think that he’s fonder of Alex rather than Bill, if he’s so ready to blame it all his brother. I said I like Alex, I haven’t changed my mind (speaking of her, where is she?), but after all, she kissed Bill first, why won’t Tom listen? Why doesn’t he have a chat with his girlfriend? Why doesn’t Alex admit that she jumped on Bill first? In Italian we say ogni cosa a suo tempo (“everything in its time”? :S That’s what Google translator says).

But, oh, no, no, you don’t need to apologise for making me wait. Writers tend to be mean like that, lol. So whenever I whine, whenever I childishly complain for the tension and the wait… just know you’re doing fine, ;)
And don’t panic either! I’ve already promised I’ll be sticking with this story, and I’ve added you as a favourite author, so I’m not surely going to let you down just because I may come across a chapter that doesn’t live up to my expectations (not that it has happened anyway).

Lol. You usually don’t know… where you’re headed with a story? Well, I understand that you may start a story and not know how it will end up yet, but hey, I really thought “Man, the girl does know what she’s doing!”
However, I’m not good at guessing the way an author works just by reading their stuff, so. That doesn’t mean you’re not organized. I’m always satisfied with what you write, always.

As for the quotes, I don’t mind the fact that you haven’t studied Nietzsche. You did use some quotes, in a really profound way, and I do respect authors who use them to start off a chapter—once I’ve read a story that, instead of titles, had quotes at the opening of new parts. I love quotes, they add that je ne sais quoi to a story—and that’s what I like about this story, it’s so serious. If a story can be serious. As for your question, at times I did know the band and the lyrics, other times I didn’t. For example, that band, RED, I’ve heard the ex boyfriend of a friend of mine talk about them, but I didn’t know what he was on about, lol (and when I tried to download something, I would find only Red Hot Chili Peppers songs). I do know the band Panik (but I don’t like them), and I do know the band Skillet, but I prefer the song “Whispers in the Dark”.

Ah! Before I forget. I really can’t get what you mean by the “Suicide Warning” not being entirely justified, but don’t worry, you aren’t to explain it to me just yet. I’ll tell you what I think eventually. But actually I admit I got a little confused about the chronology of this story. So: Bill kissed Alex (Alex kissed Bill), then: Tom gets mad, then, Bill is overly stressed, then he tries suicide by cutting his veins, and then, only in the end, does he try suicide by jumping off a roof? :S Sorry I’m being confused.

Mmm. Maybe it’s just me, but please, be careful, because if I get confused, other people may as well, so… make you sure that all these flashbacks and cliffhangers won’t turn out to be in excess, and most of all, that they won’t kind of… make the story feel broken to the readers. Sorry I must say, that too many flashbacks and too many cliffhangers won't make a story flow perfectly, or pleasantly fluent. I repeat, maybe it’s just me, ‘kay? (: Let’s do this, I’ll see if I can retract this at the end of the story, since I’m not sure myself whether I should say something about it just now. I'll get to reflect upon it once the story is finished, I suppose.

And, oh! If you have MSN, feel free to add me, I really don’t mind speaking in a more direct way (doesn’t mean I’d stop reviewing. And over all, it doesn’t mean I’ll be bugging you to write and post, lol. But I can understand if you don’t trust the opinion of a fangirl, :S).

So. I expect that in the next chapter we’ll shift back to Bill on the top of that roof, right? Oh God. :S
I don’t mean to be boring or fastidious, but I hope you don’t mind updating soon. :S
Well, considering I’m already being a fangirl, I just must ask: and the other story you were working on, where is it? Lol, I’m done now. (THIRD TIME I POST THIS REVIEW!!! JEEZ).
Cool chapter! :D

Author's Response: I completely agree with you :) This form of suicide always makes me feel squeamish, and while I was writing it, I kept thinking "is this really going to work?" But, you liked the chapter, so it's seems to be okay :D Anyway, I think I say this every time, but I'm glad you liked it! Thank you for reviewing once again, and I apologise for being so late with a reply, I had a party last night, literally an hour after I posted this chapter :)

Well, Alex will be appearing next chapter. No more flashbacks now, next chapter will be the last one for this part of the story. Thanks for adding me as a favourite author!!! *hugs* cyber hugs to show my appreciation :D

About the writing, I usually think of things as I'm going along. I actually wrote "In Your Shadow" before I wrote "Unendlichkeit", so Unendlichkeit was one I wrote as an afterthought to try and expand the story a bit...and then I got hooked writing TH fanfiction, so I started the third part of the story as well, lol.

Glad the quotes are still up to scratch :) For some reason, I find it much easier to write when I have a song to quote at the start. That sounds weird, I know, but if it's the right sort of song, with the right atmosphere to it, then it helps with writing. Maybe I'm just strange :D

The next (and last) chapter should clear up what I meant about the suicide warning, hopefully, lol. Chronology wise, though, the story goes: last chapter of Unendlichkeit - Alex kisses Bill; then chapter two of In Your Shadow - Bill chases after Tom and Tom acts all girly :D; then it's this chapter - Bill's first suicide attempt; then the first chapter of In Your Shadow - he's just got out of hospital for the first suicide attempt, and tries again, and FINALLY FINALLY, it's the last chapter of this story. I hope that made sense!

Yeah, so, no more flashbacks :) Hopefully, next chapter should be up Tuesday, so...fingers crossed again!!

I do have MSN, I'm just never on it, lol, mainly because most of my friends can't be arsed to get online. It's a vicious circle, really :) But, I'll go back to my emails and find that message I got from you before and see if I can remember how to add people as friends!! My MSN username is the same as my name on this :)

Finally, before I let you go (lol), I have got most of my other story finished...I think I'll post it tonight :D Righty, I'm gonna go proof read it, hope you've had a good weekend, and another, final, MASSIVE HUGE THANK YOU!!!!!

omg this is amazing. i feel my writing(which is not posted yet)is so insignificant compared to this. you could teach my creative writing class :)

Author's Response: Thank so much! I'm glad you like it :) You have a creative writing class? That's so awesome!! Damn, I haven't done anything like that yet, I can't wait to start uni so I can take creative writing!! Thank you so much again for the awesome review!!

I had thought that... *sniffs* I had thought that you had disappeared! You've said the next story would be up "by the weekend" and when even on Sunday night there was no sign of you, I kind of gave up. You really have got no idea how happy and how relieved I was when I received the email!

Oh well... the bliss didn't last too long, in fact, it pretty much ended as I noticed the Suicide warning. Then I became interested, lol. Seriously, I don't know how you do it, but this story--well, series--seems to be exactly what I was waiting for. Just the other week I was thinking, hell, I want to read a proper suicide scene, I want to read a SUICIDE SCENE!!! Then you posted this. I don't know if this chapter contains the suicide scene I was looking for, but this first post was... was... was so Oh My God. Seriously. That's what I call a great coming back, haha.

Really, reading about Bill standing before that precipice has been amazing. Utterly sad too, but amazing nonetheless; you did a stunning job in describing what Bill saw, smartly linking it with what had happened in the previous story. It had been so solemn that I was actually speechless, especially when he screamed that "I don't care!". Good lord.

I noticed you haven't lost your old habbit to leave it with a cliffhanger. Thank you, eh!! Lol, I was kidding. Best cliffhanger I've ever read. ,)
I'm dying (no pun intended) to know what will happen to him.

Oh, but there's something... that I NEED to point out, if I won't be a bitch about it, it will stay on my chest forever. Maybe you can guess what it is, lol.

"The building had been used for the recording of their music video, Spring Nicht. It was why he had chosen it to be his final curtain call. He remembered that night, the fun they’d had, laughing and joking about Bill missing the crash mat when he dropped from the roof. Well, no fears about that. There was no crash mat, no safety control, hell, there wasn’t even a crowd. Not yet. No doubt someone would notice soon..." - Okay, no, maybe it's just me, but that was enough quotes from their songs! In my eyes, it makes your story less serious if you go on with so many references; and I don't think it's the case, I'd love this story to stay indipendent from TH's songs. But as I told you, that obviously was just me, if the songs references stay, I won't surely stop reading, or they won't affect the opinion I have of this story, 'kay? :D
Seriously, do whatever you like, whatever you prefer, because as we well know, it will turn out great.

Keep going. I'm speechless. :O

Author's Response: Glad you like it!! I can't really say much now without giving much away, except this story is pretty short, but I haven't quite finished it. I've been going over it, embellishing it and adding bits in, stuff like that :)

I am slightly confused about the part that you pointed out. I understand the addition of spring nicht, but were there other references in the paragraph? If there is, they weren't done intentionally, lol, I might have accidentally referenced something, but, honestly, if there are other lines from songs in that paragraph, they are total, honest to god, accidents. I didn't intend to do that :D

Anyway, I had to leave it with a cliffhanger cause I'm annoying that way, lol. But somehow I find it easier to write if there are cliffhangers :) It keeps me motivated to finish, lol, if that sounds weird, I think it does too!

Damn, but I hope it doesn't turn out too cheesy, but I suppose you might be able to guess what happens given that there's still another part to come :) I hope you like it!

Maybe an update by tomorrow? :D Glad you like, THANK YOU!!!
