Glad To Meet You Again - Comments

@Nanook
I like different, you should know that.

Well, I feel like you definitely made it different by doing that. Not that that's a bad thing, though.
:)

@Nanook
I'm not sure what you wanted either xD Anthony was always going to be the dad. People may love Alex, but it's not just that easy. The generic fanfiction would say Alex was the dad and they'd fall in love again. That was not the vibe I was going for.
Glad you do like this ending :D

Finally got to this!
I think originally I was stanning for Alex to be the dad (I'm too lazy to go back and read my comments XD), but now I'm glad that Anthony turned out to be. Reading this last update, it would've messed things up a bit too much if Alex was. The family as it originally was deserves that, you know?
So, lol, I'm actually supporting a non-Alex ending. Who would've thought?
But thanks for finally giving us an answer! Great job with wrapping this up. :)

@fangirll
I'd totally suggest which one of my stories you definitely have to read, but I don't know.... I don't really think one's better than the other. However, with Hospital Beds and Memories, you do have to be a bit patient before the good writing starts, it was my first story on here (and now imagine I already came a long way before I posted that first chapter).
You might, or might not ;) Maybe I'll leave it open again, who knows? I only have one story that has actually ended, and that's Opposites Do Not Attract. For some reason, I didn't get as much hate as I thought I would.

Same, and yeah I get that.
Hahaha yes I'm planning on XD, reading Radio Silence rn, it's so good and I love the idea!! Your writing is so good too btw
Not sure yet haha, we'll see when you finish this ;)

@fangirll
School just started for me, so if I am going to do it, it will still take a while. These chapters took me a week each to write (three days writing, other days being too busy). And I'll first have to create a plan around the answer. So... it definitely will take a while.
If you want to know how I write these stories, go read my other super long stories (bad advertising alert). ;) I've had people get frustrated with me and people who love my endings, you get to choose which group you fall under. Of course, the ghost reader is also always an option.

aww :( no please don't, I really want to know XD PLEASE DO.
Well I think it's Alex but (no offence btw, it just happened in other fanfictions I read) if you're not one of the typical fanfiction writers, I think it's Anthony. I hope there will be even more drama tbh oops, I like drama.. If it's Alex there would be more drama (I think) but if he's not, so Anthony is the father after all, I think it would also be nice because then I think everyone would be happy? Because atl can still be the 'uncles' and their second child is coming.
God you're good at writing, I'm gonna read your other stories too!

@fangirll
I actually wasn't planning on adding another chapter. It was supposed to be a one shot, but I added another part.... I actually wanted to leave the question unanswered. Maybe I'll think about writing another part.
Who do you think the father is?

OMG I LOVE THIS, PLEEASE UPDATE I NEED TO KNOW

@Nanook
I'm sure you could write just as well, probably even better. Just try it out for fun for once. Like, it doesn't even have to be anything long like the stuff you work on that you actually need to work on. Even a small paragraph might be fun ;)

XD I didn't mean writing a new chapter, just altering the last one's ending a bit. :P I guess it's too late to do that now though, lol.
And I'm sorry, I was just wanting to help. :/ It is a smaller audience, so ultimately, it isn't as big of a deal as something actually published, but just wanted to note that for any future writing you do professionally, if you do. Just something to keep in mind.
And oh, I probably couldn't. Girl, you're a really great writer and I probably couldn't measure up to what you write. Despite my critique of this and the times I point spelling things out, you're still one of the best writers I've seen on here (or even factoring in Mibba) in a while. I wouldn't even try to compete with that.

@Nanook
I would give it away, though! How the hell would I manage to write another chapter that isn't too much like the ones I've already written without it going all the way to the end without it being too cheesy with the whole 'and the father is....'
If I'm going to have to worry about every single person's beliefs, then I can just as well never write again. Whatever you do nowadays, there's somebody who will be offended and sometimes they're offended just to be offended. I would personally rather have people voicing their opinions and telling me I'm doing something wrong than have my story seem unnatural. As soon as society actually implements that whole gender/sex thing properly, then I'll be able to easily do it. Of course you can argue that I'm not helping with this one sentence in my story. But honestly, it's a fanfiction that like two people have actually read. I don't believe most people will go ballistic over it anyway because I haven't gotten any other messages about it... I'm not saying you're wrong, because I agree, I just don't think it's such a big deal this time.
Open-ended stories are great. Anybody can make up an ending. Why don't you write one for this story? It will be awesome to see what you believe happens.

lol, that wouldn't be giving away the full answer though! XD It would just say if they were taking it, I mean the actual results are a whole different story.
Oh, yeah, I can get what you mean by that, thinking of how the average person would think. But with actual writing... I think you would want to have the actual term you want, otherwise as the writer, it makes it look like you don't know the right term, you know? As opposed to simply thinking of it as the character's trait and going by the norm. So it just depends on which you would rather lean towards. But please, if you ever do write professionally one day, use the correct one, or maybe explain as you were saying you've done before, in a way with narration or something or other that shows you do know the right one. There's a reason why there's such a misconception to it, and that's because many just go by what they've already heard. And if anything, saying "gender" is probably more offensive than sex, because gender is defined by a person's individual beliefs, morals, etc., after they're exposed to different social factors, whereas sex is the actual genetics behind it.
But yeah, okay, serious part over. Sorry; you can do as you wish, but just note the factors to consider whichever way you choose to go with it.
And I figured that was what was going on, with the vagueness of the chapter.
And again, who knows? lol, this ending though just left me with more questions than the first chapter's did though. :/

@Nanook
I can't just give away the answer! I know what I think is going to happen, but I feel like that will dull down the story a bit, you know?
I know the whole "Gender" and "Sex" thing. I was literally staring at that sentence for five minutes. Usually I try to be as politically correct as possible. I always use 'sex', in essays and writing. But never have I ever heard somebody use 'sex' out loud unless they're in the medical field or have thought about the sentence for a good few minutes. I feel like this is what people automatically say, you know? Honestly, I always try to not offend anybody. Whenever I talk about my characters loving food and everybody loving food, I also mention that some people might not. Stuff like that. So nothing against you, because I do believe you are right, but this time I think using the 'correct' term would be out of place.
Oh, you definitely aren't looking too much into it. I wanted to make it seem like there were other fishy things going on only to have it be between Anthony and Alex. I purposely hinted towards something going on between Lena and Alex but left it vague enough for it to turn out just to be awkward moments that aren't based on anything.
I don't know if there will be another... I can't really do anything that won't answer it all straight away if I do

GIRL.
The ending to this chapter was probably even more cliffhanger-y than the last one! WHY?! You could've at least told us whether they made the decision to take the test, and let us guess the result on our own! XD
I feel like this is a story that's going to be never-ending. Oooh... it's the last chapter! Oooh wait, no it's not! XD Since you originally said that it was only going to be a one-shot sort of deal. XD
To point out the things I spotted or not... that is the question... XD
I'm just going to because I took the time to reopen the chapter again and again to keep the things I spotted, highlighted. XD
“We got you a gift and flowers!” He said in a giddy tone, holding out both object to Lena.
*objects
“Do you know the gender yet?”
Biggest pet peeve. No spelling error, but I guess... political? Here, you would want to have him, or anyone ask, "do you know the sex yet?" It's a bit awkward, I know, but gender is literally defined by society/once a person is exposed to society, and decides what they choose to identify as. That's putting it in the simplest terms, so I would definitely look up the true definition to do it justice. It's confused all the time, but I swear, that is what you want. Learned this in various classes at my university; I would say look up a definition but it honestly depends on the source... but it should be what I'm saying if it's a reliable one. But yeah, sorry, defending this highly because I told another writer about the same thing and she still had the nerve to argue, saying it could be debated, when there is a distinct difference. If a person has not been exposed to societal values or social environment, you cannot determine their gender; however, sex is what they are born with, so that can be determined during pregnancy. Different media and just the cliches that have been put into place with movies, etc., have ruined it and it honestly bugs me.
Anthony sighed in a melodramatically, proving that he was only joking around.
In a melodramatically? XD What? I'm thinking you either meant "sighed melodramatically" or, you could've said, "sighed in a melodramatic manner" for example. As is, got a bit confused when reading the sentence.
“You saying that just tell us all that you also remember it.”
*tells. Matching singular with plural, whatever that technical grammar rule is. XD
Anthony stayed behind while everybody went back to the porch to that he could lock up everything properly.
*so that he
Sometimes he a little too excited and all over the place, but he’s a good guy.
*he's for that first "he" as well. XD
“but I want to know what you think about it. I don’t care about the facts, we want to know your personal opinion on this.
Here you forgot the end quotation mark, which led into another quote without saying who was talking, but I'm pretty sure it switched from Alex to Lena? lol, it confused me greatly though.
“So you do what us to take the test?” He asked, feeling dumb for even asking.
Think you can figure this one out. Xd
Anthony because I made you believe you for sure that Nick was yours since I also thought so,
I think there's one too many "you"s in there. Like the one after "believe." Perhaps I'm just tired though and unable to read correctly. XD
... I think that was it. XD lol, I'm sorry girl, I've gotten ridiculous with pointing these things out, but you definitely still take them like a champ. I'm glad you posted more to this though; bummed with the way it ended, but y'know, can still respect an open ending.
And I'm glad Lena got to express her thoughts on it. She told it to them like it is. And with the way this chapter started, I was so confused on who had actually been talking to one another. For some reason, I was thinking Lena had been talking to Alex. They got some kind of weird tension, other than the fact that Nick's father is being questioned, you know? Maybe I'm just reading too into it, though, idk, seemed there was more tenseness there though for some reason...
But yeah, assuming this is it now, hmmm.... after telling them her honest thoughts, I wouldn't know why they wouldn't go for the test at this point. Just my thought on what they decided, but idk. Maybe they chose to remain selfish and not find out. XD
But great job as always. You know I only point stuff out to make your writing even more perfect. :D Here's to... maybe another? Who knows, you may end up doing so. ;)

@Nanook
Maybe I'll write a mini chapter that leaves an open ending again xD But for that, I actually need to know if there are more people who want it.

The suspense. Ugh. XD You're deceitful. :P
Yeah, as I said, I'll be subscribed if you choose to say, lol. But otherwise, I still have some respect for a good open-ended story.

@Nanook
I will always put questions after a cliffhanger just to create more suspense xD. I totally know who I think the father is and whether or not Alex takes the test. I'd be up for writing more if more people want to know what I had in mind, but otherwise I'm just going to let you make up your own endings.

So I saw you posted this and decided to check it out.
UGH. The cliffhanger! The suspense! I respect a good open-ending when it's fit, but now I'm wondering who really is the father, ughhh... XD
But you did a great job with this. It's different. As a lot of your stories are. Kudos for all these different plot lines...
So since it says "first and final chapter" I'm a bit confused on why you even asked us who the father is in the author's note. lol. I guess you just want our own personal thought. As much as a perfect ending would be great, I know you never do that and that's never the outcome. XD Even though we won't get more of this, that's probably what the results would be. However, as Alex said at the end... maybe he doesn't take the test, even though he is the father, but just lets things as they are with Anthony raising the kid. That's my conclusion. :)
But yeah, awesome job! I really enjoyed it. :) And I'm subscribing in case you change your mind on continuing it, haha. Who knows.
