Concerning MFY's Chapter 17

Don't worry; this is good news.

Okay, so anyone read chapter 17 probably knows what I'm going to address in this journal without me even having to say it.

I just want to say that after a lot of thinking and consideration--and a lot of negative feedback--that I'm revamping/altering the mid-later bits of the plot.

I went back and took out the bits that alluded to Jacqueline's *former* condition.

Reasons why:

1. I was already too hesitant with that plot line. : \ I'm not stupid enough to risk ruining a story just for an idea that at least 90% of the readers all thought was a really bad one. I want to be the type of writer who writes what they want, but at the same time I'm not deaf to other reader's thoughts and concerns, especially when the reaction was...well, overwhelming. XDD;;

2. At least 90% of the reaction was negative. Not a good sign.

3. While I was finishing chapter 17, where that part of the old plot was originally alluded to, I got way too many doubts, and found a few too many complex ideas just going all over the place. While one the theme's of the story is family, this probably wasn't the best idea to express that with. That, and I kept getting stuck over "What would they do?!"

Yes, so, those are the reasons. A few too many reasons to really reconsider what I'm doing with the story. X'D Thank God I'm at the point in the story where I can stop, and sort of rewind a bit and change things...

I'm sorry for the inconvienence, worries, or any other negative reaction you may have had with chapter 17 concerning the topic of this journal. D= As I said, it's been taken out, and I'm going to revamp the plot and go back to the older, original idea I had with it. Hopefully that one works out better.

Once again, sorry for the inconvienence.

P.S:

Sorry all of my journals have been about MFy as of late. XDD;; I'll try and post an actual journal sometime soon.

hmmm... i feel bad =x because for you to feel such negativity to the point of taking it out, that's something else=\

i was indeed intrigued on how you were goint to make that work, and if it'd b overworked, dont know if you get me...

but decision is up to you, im relieved for not having to see thm handle that i guess, but wouldve been interesting to see how you would go lol

Well I have to say I'm really happy about the change. What I mean is that how old is she? I think she's 18, I don't know all the character bios by heart so I'm not sure, but still, an 18 year old pregnant girl isn't really the greatest thing that could happen in the story plot wise. I'm glad you're changing it since pregnant girls seem to be EVERYWHERE nowadays and having one in this story would have been a way down instead of a way up. :heart: good choice

I'm so sorry that you've had to go back and change your story line, but I do have to admit that I'm very glad that the story is no longer going in that particular direction. It feels to me that what you have created is very original and inspired, and if you went down the route of teen pregnancy, then it would become a completely different story that, in my opinion, is far too overdone. You don't want to be mundane, after all! ^_^ And it would also detract from the main story, (Elliot and Cameron), by bringing Jacqueline more to the forefront. And we all know what a loss that would be.

...Hmm. I've been reading my above comment and I'm thinking that I have a very biased opinion. You see, I absolutely adored this story, loved it, cherished it, was absorbed by it, UNTIL Elliot slept with Jacqueline. Then my entire reaction was, "Well SHIT." (Sorry.) The story kind of lost its charm for me. I can't look at Elliot the same way again, and Jacqueline went from being just another annoying obstacle to being this gigantic problem. It's pretty awful of me to say it, but I hated her as a character. (Not that she's not a wonderful person, she just gets in the way of the story.)

So then when I was fianlly getting to the point where I was able to move on and focus on Elliot and Cameron again, when Jacqueline jumps back to center stage with an even bigger problem, eliciting from me another louder, "Well SHIT!" I was just like, "No! Why, Elliot, why!" However, this is just my opinion.

But I wanted to try to explain myself so that you might understand a little bit better why I think the choice you have made is a good one. I do feel horribly that you have had to alter the story and I sincerely hope I haven't hurt your feelings. I think you are an AMZING author and I want MFY to continue forever because I love the story so much. Believe me, I wouldn't put this much heart and effort into a story (and commenting) if I didn't absolutely LOVE it. So please don't take this the wrong way when I say Thank you for reverting back to your original plot.

*hug*

And now for some confidence boosting! You're so cool! I love your work! Never stop writing! You have a vivid imagination! You brighten my day when I see a new chapter in my deviations box thingy! You're awesome and smart and a literary genius! I love you!

^_^

Oh good. That would have made for quite an interesting story, but interesting in a sad way. Cameron is my favorite character and I was worried about how upset that might make him. And of course he probably would have held it all in until he yelled at Elliot, like last time. Although that was a really good chapter, I like seeing Cameron [and Elliot] happy! :]

I can't wait for chapter 18! I'm really curious to see what happens next.
:iconthe-wall-flower:
People didn't seem to like the idea. : \
Not that I blame them. It was a pretty bad idea.

I like the original plot idea for this story--the one I had before the pregnancy idea. Same story, basically, just minus a baby. XDD;; I'll have to alter a few things here and there...but I'm hoping it'll be much more enjoyable to read than the other idea.

Nah, that's okay. Any and all negative reactions are to be expected; it was a really bad idea.

Better to just change it now when I'm at the very point where I can, rather then rethink things and change it later.
