I think that was everyone who read the book first...
WE ARE THE AWESOME ONES...
Shh, shh, Supergirl, it's Okay...
*pauses*
*realises what I just said*
*hugs supergirl and begins to sob*
There are some people who enter our lives
and it hurts to call them fiction
and it hurts to call them fact
And they deserve my tears
and they deserve my notice
and they deserve this pain
And by the strokes made on a page
they come into our lives
and rip apart our hearts
And they don't deserve to die
but we have to wave goodbye
because one has made it so
And some say they're just a story
but I have to disagree
because even a master couldn't do it from scratch
Who can tell if they're fiction,
to us, they were always
somehow
Alive.
Thanks. It is dedicated to Augustus Waters, Lily Evans, Ezylryb, Rue, Melody Pond, and many others. If you get all those references, you are amazing and we should be friends.
NICE! You'll probably get Rue in a second, unless you've had your head in the sand this past year... Anyway, Ezylryb is a tad obscure... He's from a little knowm series of books. Technically, there was a movie adaptation, but it was so bad and mutilated the story so much I'm not going to acknowledge it's existence... I won't tell, just in case someone else gets it.
Smiles all around. The list up there will probably grow as I think of new ones... OH. DO you know what I hate? Series endings. The writer is all,
"WELL LAST BOOK. DON'T NEED THESE ANYMORE! Let's kill EVERYONE OFF!"
It drives me mad...

My heart aches for fictional characters that were taken away too soon
@beautiful potato, it's so nice to find another person who actually knows what I'm talking about... Those books had me crying a river, honestly... (the ones with Ezylryb)
@supergirl, I don't ad the characters just cause I HAVE to have one from my favourite series, I ad them because they're not the main one with all the hype, but they still meant a great deal to me.
To Quote TFOIS:
"AUTHOR'S NOTE:
This is not so much an author's note as an author's reminder of what was printed in a small type a few pages ago: This book is a work of fiction. I made it up.
Neither novels nor their readers benefit from attempts to divine whether any facts hide inside a story. Such efforts attack the very idea that made-up stories can matter, which is sort of the foundational assumption of our species.
I appreciate your cooperation in this matter."
Yes, I did just get my copy and type that out, because yes, John Green was fantastic, absolutely fantastic, but I don't believe the book is about "teaching" us anything. We don't read it because of any "lessons" hidden in it. We read it because Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters suffered beautifully, and we count ourselves privileged to know their story. The story is the story, not a lesson, not a teaching, just their story. And it was an amazing one.
Thank you. I try my best. Cloudiness's original comment was about the lessons we could learn from TFOIS, and how it could help adolescents who've never been though grief. I've never been through grief, and who knows, It may help, but I wanted to make this point. The book was not written to teach. It was written, I believe, because the idea of Augustus and Hazel was so beautiful and so tangible that it HAD to be written and shared.
I haven't seen this movie but I already hate it. Some another stupid movie for stupid teenagers. I think it is even worse than Hunger Games and Divergent, but they are quite hard to beat.
IF YOU SAY IT IT COMES TRUE!!!!!!!!
*insert spoiler here*
OKAY?
*whispers through tears*
death.........
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :(
*holds out box of tissues through tears*
*sobs*
"IM NOT FUCKING OKAY. PLEASE DO NOT REMIND ME OF THIS."
*cries on corner* AUGUSTUS NOOOOOO
i loveee this movie!
*tear*
WHAT THE FUCK GUYS!?
Augustus: Okay?
Me: NO! NOTHING WILL BE OKAY! YOU DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!
*starts violently sobbing*
WE ARE THE AWESOME ONES...
Shh, shh, Supergirl, it's Okay...
*pauses*
*realises what I just said*
*hugs supergirl and begins to sob*
*collapses*
*bangs head against wall*
and it hurts to call them fiction

You have done it again. Well done.
