CHASING TABOO :: A FXXKED UP LOVE STORY :: AN ONLINE NOVEL BY LINDSAY PENN

Responses to comments about Chapter 11.

“I wonder why Ace didn’t recognize Eyebrow (if that was the dude from the convenience store)?” ~ ‘Rea

Nope. The dude who fought Olivia at the bar was an Asian with a pierced eyebrow, the guy Ace had seen was a white boy with dark eyebrows and light hair.

“i officially love falynn. shes a badass.” ~ mindi

Thanks! I’m glad! Actually, Falynn is a character I’ve been writing about since I was about 13, so I’m glad I finally get to share her with the world.

“and of course o was kickass, but that makes me wonder where she learned to fight…” ~ mindi

Funny you bring that up, because I gave it thought. The actions Olivia took were pretty brutal and lacked skill—it wasn’t exactly kung fu. It was really only showing that she can think fast and that she doesn’t take shit.

“i was totally getting irritated with hero for his “trying to make up his mind on what to do”, but i wouldn’t have changed anything about that scene for anything!” ~ tepaj

Well, I had to build the tension, LOL.

“and stone…you gave us another glimpse into his world by setting those two up, even though it didn’t quite go the way he had planned it.” ~ tepaj

HAHA! So funny you should say that because I entertained the possibility of Wildcard saying something like “Well, uh, guess you got what you wanted… with a twist.”

“but i am at least glad that O was standing her ground and sending a message that she wasn’t there to just play around and get a high off of her boring life pre-blades.” ~ tepaj

I think I’m in love with the term pre-blades now. Anyway, Falynn had a point though. In the beginning, Olivia really was fucking around. But things changed.

“why didn’t they tell them about [the fanfic] before you officially took it off [the internet]??? it’s not like you didn’t warn us and just took it off.” ~ tepaj

I KNOW RIGHT?? Urgh.

“i like the fact that O met Falynne. Now O knows that in this worlds, there are not only submissive women but also strong ones!” ~ k-yunhopop

One of the reasons for the Falynn character, actually—props to you for noticing. Not every chick in the Grove is a sissy.

“Yes she can defend herself, but first, Hero chooses when they can kiss each other, and then she follows him wherever he goes. That’s submission!” ~ k-yunhopop

Yeah, O’s funny about her selective submission. She’s desperate to be free but she’s so comfortable being led. (First, her Dad, now Hero.) ^_^o

“I loved the kissing scene, you wrote it so well that I reach this “spleen” than Baudelaire describes so well in his poetry.” ~ k-yunhopop

Spleen? 0_0 That is such an unpleasant word!

“And I want to tell you that I don’t like it when you apology, because you don’t have too. You do write for yourself, not for us.” ~k-yunhopop

Thank you! You’re nice, but of course I want to make you guys happy too!

“it’s good she made it herself, because otherwise,it would have been one of those save-me-my-prince scenes *thumbs up*” ~ Justina

Yeah—then it totally wouldn’t have been Chasing Taboo, ne?

“i really think this story deserved more, It should be in top ten best selling books i already said, and will say it again, that when you read Chasing Taboo, nothing more then letters written by you exists… so if you’ll ever think of releasing this in paper, know there will be those who support you” ~ Justina

Aww, thank you!! I love you!! *hugs*

“This should totally be made into a movie! I can already see it before my very eyes. The Wachowski’s would make a masterpiece out of this!!!” ~ Leelath

OMG, the Wachowskis? I was thinking Robert Rodriguez, but I guess beggars can’t be choosers, can they? LOL. But, if the Wachowskis were involved, then maybe I could get Rain as Hero, which would be like—a fantasy come true. But I guess when fantasy becomes reality, reality has consequences, right?

“I hope he’ll be as messed up as you-know-who in the previous installment. Or am I reading this wrong and the two characters don’t relate at all?” ~ Leelath

This comment made me totally LOL. The fanfic = Fight Club. Rule number one – DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE FANFIC! Giggle-giggle-yuck-yuck. Yes, dear, the Shank = Miyavi. Thank you for your self-censorship. *hands you a cookie*

“I wouldn’t put any link anywhere in this site because, like you said, fanfiction is copyright infringement.” ~ Leelath

My thoughts exactly. You got a lot of people on your boat after you said this, too—I’m so happy I have such loving readers supporting me.

“The moment with her and Hero was just wow. It’s kinda weird seeing Hero so.. almost weak when he debated whether or not to go into the restaurant.” ~ momoirotan

I know. What a pussy. Somebody punch him in the nuts. LOL, I love Hero.

“one of my friends that I recommended this story to said that it sounded twilight-inspired o-o” ~ karennx

Noooooo! *hissss* Fuck Edward Cullen. In the face. With a rusty spoon. And send pictures.

“I think I found a few spelling mistakes” ~ karennx

HOLY SHIT WHERE? Tell me. My sister was drunk when she beta’d, sorry!
