All Comments on 'Chad Fontenot'

I thought that this was a wonderful little tale. Thank you author.

This was a very sweet story. I wasn't quite sure about Chad at first, he seemed a bit doofy, but he came around. ;) I think an editor would help a lot, though. There were some misspellings (what's a "gleans"? ;) and grammar issues that I think a second set of eyes would help eliminate. Also, you don't need to continually tell us their ages. Set it out once in description, or mention it if it's relevant, but otherwise... it's just a bit clunky. Good job over all. ;)

I really enjoy your writings, but wonder if you somehow were following me around in the early 1950's. I did just the same thing and she is now my wife of 48 years. You surely brought back the past. Thanx

This was one damned fine story and I don't mind telling you that. Well written, with good characters and some relevant social comment thrown in for good measure. Clearly you have a thing for thin red heads, but whatever floats your boat.

Five stars.

Even your dis-likeable characters weren't just one-dimensional.

With mostly very good people - who actually did exist in "those days"

I remember only too well when young kids behaved that way back then - I had more hope about that crew coming up just behind us - hoping they would keep the world running well - we all sorta screwed it up I guess -

I enjoyed the characters themselves and the story line was well thought out. The only things that held it back in my eyes were character development, continuity and flow.

could have been longer. Ending was rather abrupt. 5* nonetheless...

This is the 2nd story of yours (apart from your Goodbye story) and I'm really happy I found your work. Great job!

Very good romance - the character development makes the somewhat predictable plot interesting. Very good!

I read the first page And could not get into the story. It just wasn't making any sense.

Jim Bob you hit a home run with this one. Growing up is hard and recovering from mistakes of youth can leave deep scars. Chad made the right move at the end.

I love your constantly changing POV style. Very different, charged narrative emerges.

the trials and tribulations of growing up always make interesting reading.

An enjoyable story but far too abrupt an ending.

Platforms, Boston, ZZTop, 8 tracks???? OMG!

Memory lane!

The height of romance ...walking around with a love songs tape in my mono player!

It all comes back! (Theatrical groans!!) Lol!

The ending was perfect. I teach creative writing. Endings are the hardest thing. They either waffle on with some excuse for an epilogue, or sadly fade away to nothing. Short, succinct and final. Couldn't be better. Tells us all we need to know. They lived happily ever after, just as the build up led us to believe.

5*

has twists and turns and many a roadblock and ditches. TK U MLJ LV NV

An Ending Anybody Would Be Proud Of!....Yep!. I actually really, really enjoyed the Story!.....I'm going to Award This Story With 5 Stars ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ WOOF!

Abrupt, but appropriate, ending.

I like high school stories.

Were the bomb by 78 with a power booster. On the college music scene was pat benatar, bruce springsteen, u2, the police, of course disco was now dying. And mtv was setting the tone for music. A great story tho. 5

...with a laugh brought on by

admiration at how good the story was

plus the clever ending.

Happy story made me happy.

A b!ast from the past! It gets 5 of those shiny things!

You can wrap up a tale in one short sentence. Thirty years later...

Anyone who has ever tried to write knows it's harder to finish a story than start one. You do it with consummate ease.

Enjayem pretty well nailed it. The ending was clean, quick and self explanatory. The rest of the story was pretty good too. 5*

Another great JimBob story!

For the 1970’s the b;ack girl had a good sense of practical reality. And it did get better until in 2008 some politicians needed to stir the pot for their own gain.

Good story. Shitty ending.

Good job, thanks for sharing your work!

I'd like to visit the world you write of.

CHAD WAS JUST A MANWHORE!!

HOW THE FUCK THIS STORY ROMANCE, IT IS JUST TRAILER PARK TRASH!!

SERENA DESERVED BETTER THAN THE MANSLUT

Good story but the ending was so rushed. There was nothing for the romance of it. 3 ⭐️
