viv Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 Wow, Guys! I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you to everyone who has sent me a message or email about Days of Silence.

Camy Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Excellent, excellent piece of storytelling. Though I agree with RHawes that the ending would have worked had Lucas walked, I'm so glad he didn't! Props on the use of the title too. Camy
NickolasJames8 Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 This story was so sweet.... Viv, you've got it going on. The way you painted the scenes in the story was awesome, and the whole thing with Justin and Lucas just sitting there in silence watching eachother was great You've got game, girl
Guest raz Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 This story was really good. I read most of the pieces in the Anthology, and this one just completely stood out. I found it intriguing, especially, because of Lucas. Really amazing character. I could see this becoming a good series, and I'd definitely be reading it. Good job! Once again I was swept away in a sea of emotions as I empathized with the pain and confusion Lucas must have gone through. I felt so sorry for him, always trying to change who he was, desperately looking for the
reader195045 Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 Great Story! I Loved It! Keep Up The Good Work!
Conner Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 Hi ya Viv, I re-read this story recently and noticed that I never posted a thing here. My bad. What a beautiful story! Conner
shadowgod Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 Viv! Great story! too bad it took me this long to find it I especially liked your use of visuals from the skateboard to the birthday cake with its black and red decoration. You hinted at a continuation... If there is I'll read it, then again I think Id read anything you offered up! Steve
ex52tech Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Well, I have read and reread this story a few times. I have told Viv what I thought about, but thought I should make an entry here anyway. When I read this story I feel so many things. I feel Lukes hurt and anger that stems from rejection, his lonelyness that caused him to keep everyone at arms length so he wouldn't get hurt again. The anger and confusion that came when Justin tried to reconnect. Justin's acceptance that he is gay, and his overwhelming guilt that became stronger with that acceptance. How his hopes and his heart hang on whether he can repair all the dammage he has done, knowing that his chances are slim to none that Luke will even acknowledge him, much less love him back. The ending was just too good. This was the best of the day of silence anthology stories, and one of my top 10 favorite stories. I can't say enough about how good I think it is. Thanks Viv. Ex. I hope you write the sequel, it just seems that Luke and Justins story has more that needs to be said.

canundra Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 It's been a while since you've posted this story. However, I have just read it. I can quite honestly say that this is probably one of the sweetest things I've ever read. Left me feeling all tingly inside, and content. I love it
Razor Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Just read it, it's really cute. Makes me all warm and fuzzy.
Bardeara Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 Hey Vivian, I just want to say hello, and let you know I just finished reading this story... again... for like the 100th time. No joke too. There is a clear reason you won the award for best Spring Anthology for 2006 and top Anthology for 2006. Everyone really should be reading this story, regardless who they are. I can't say enough, on how much you were able to put into such a short story. Congrats Vivian, you really out did yourself. Bardeara, PS. When is the sequel coming?!?
D Writes Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 Apart from FBTE (which is undoubtedly my fav. story ), this is one story that endeared me to your writings so much. Remember what I told you when I complimented about the story a few months back... the song thing. Well, if you have forgotten about it, I think it would be good to keep my mouth shut for a few more weeks
Lukas-Ashke Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Tay and I read this story last year, long long time ago. It made us cry then, as it made us cry again tonight. This is by far a timeless story of true love between 2 young boys who finally find the courage to confront each other. Gods. We just love it.
Suz Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 What a wonderful story that pulls you in and makes you feel anticipation as it leads you through anger, regret, self acceptance and forgiveness. I was so relieved when Luke stayed and did not walk away even after 4 years of what most would feel was an irrevocably damaged relationship. This is one story that I will be reading several more times.
MJ85 Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 I recently re-read this story ... as I said in my post for FBTE, the way you're able to bring out the emotions here makes it great. The scenes at the end, with Justin bringing out the blanket and everything for Lucas's birthday...that's one of the most touching scenes I've ever read. I really felt for both of them as they struggled with the pain and hurt they were feeling over their time apart.
