"Bleeding On the Inside" Reviews/Comments [ 26 ] | Pages (2): [ 1 2 >  » ] | Reviewed By: Shattered Dreams [MediaMiner Member] On: April 21, 2004 13:11 CDT Rating(s):Style of Writing: 10 of 10 Spelling & Grammar: 10 of 10 Originality/Creativity: 10 of 10 Enjoyment Factor: 10 of 10 Overall Rating: 10 of 10 Comment/Review: Every chapter had tears swimming in my eyes. This story was great because although I've never experienced it it's shown me that it is very real in the world and can happen to the nicest of people. You shouldn't have had to have gone through that. You shouldn't have had to write this story from a personal experience. It's just so sad that one the greatest written story came from the memory of something so terrible. I hope you're still able to live your life.

Its one of those that REALLY gets you thinking!
I know enough to know at least a little of how hard it was for you to write this.
A lot of the situation stems mainly from the attitude of Law Enforcement (Which is nearly always a bad one) and the absurd laws to which there should be more to it then just the letter of the law. The law exists to protect people. | Reviewed By: forever01n02 [MediaMiner Member] On: July 14, 2003 01:13 CDT Rating(s):Style of Writing: 8 of 10 Spelling & Grammar: 10 of 10 Originality/Creativity: 10 of 10 Enjoyment Factor: 9 of 10 Overall Rating: 10 of 10 Comment/Review: I've had this fic saved on my computer for some time now and I finally got around to reading it. So many times I reminded myself that this is real, this happened. I'm not really sure that even if someone reads this that they can really understand that violation. I can honestly say I too was raped and molested, but it's not the same. I was so young at the time, I didn't know anything past that they shouldn't touch me like that without me wanting it. The worst part of it, now that I think back on it, is that even though I screamed and cried for help, all the other kids, even teachers didn't care. They just told me to stop yelling, as if I was playing around. That was on a bus, durring a field trip, I don't go on too many anymore. ^^ But there were parts in this fic that really had me learning, parts that brought up memories, and parts that I just couldn't understand. I have lots of problems I suppose, and one was mentioned by you in here. I refuse to show my anger most of the time. But I think I like it like that. I'm not sure I could handle getting angry, but that might be due to the fact that my older sister really needs some anger management, although she's not nearly as abusive as she used to be ^__^ I truley di enjoy reading this, It's full of emotion, and subjects that I am lost to in my own life. for example I'm happy you had people there for you, becuase I know what it is like not to, becuase really, I still don't. I have one person I feel comfy talking to about the dark stuff in me and we live on opposite sides of the world. This really was worth reading, it's givven me a lot to think about, most fics I read I just read and then move on, I know this is one of those fics I'll remember clearly for years to come. ^^

The same thing happend to me 1 year ago and Afterwards I was on the Verge of a breakdown. I´m glad you are doing better and want to thank you for sharing this sad but still beautifull story with us. And i´m glad you found the strengh in you to carry on and that you have friends you can talk to and help you. it is true that many people think rape is none existent or that victims lie. my mothers answer after I told her was that this was my own fault..for trusting my "best" friend...I´m glad you are still able to trust people. And I wish you all the luck and Happines in the world, because you still deserve so much more of it. | Reviewed By: JAAL On: April 12, 2003 18:38 CDT Rating(s):Style of Writing: 10 of 10 Spelling & Grammar: 10 of 10 Originality/Creativity: 10 of 10 Enjoyment Factor: 10 of 10 Overall Rating: 10 of 10 Comment/Review: It was a wonderful read, and one of the considerate ones, that didn't make me work corrections in my head just to be able to make it to the end. *snort* The only way it could've been more moving, was if you wrote it in the first person, and honestly, I don't know if I would've made it through without real trauma. Frankly, the only change I would've made is for the @#$% that raped Quatre to get what was coming to him... but then again, that wouldn't have been true to life, would it? Damn sad, that is... | Reviewed By: R_Winner [MediaMiner Member] On: April 12, 2003 18:36 CDT Rating(s):Style of Writing: 10 of 10 Spelling & Grammar: 10 of 10 Originality/Creativity: 10 of 10 Enjoyment Factor: 10 of 10 Overall Rating: 10 of 10 Comment/Review: First let me say that this was a very good story. I am incredibaly proud of you for having the courage to write it. This story made me reflect back on the situation that I went through. It was a difficult experience for me, but I did get over it. My case was much like Relena's; however I did come forward. My result wasn't what I wanted and the man was never convicted but I went through with it. I unfortunatly still have to see this man on the occasions when I go to visit my sister but. But with her support I have gotten over it.
I would like to send a message to all women. Rape is not a joke! It can happen to you. I'm not telling you to walk around in fear, I'm just telling you to stay safe. If something like this has happened to you, I beg you tell some one. It can make a difference! While it didn't in my case that doesn't mean the same will happen to you! I speak to you woman to woman or even woman to man in some cases: IT IS NOT, AND WILL NEVER BE YOUR FAULT! DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE!

I had tears in my eyes reading this. It's a modern masterpiece. I admire your courage. I wish you the very best. | Reviewed By: yukoma On: March 14, 2003 23:46 CST Comment/Review: Um, hi, I just wanted to say that you are really brave to write and put up this fic, taking your own situation and putting it down in words, even though the characters aren't nessearly yourself.
I also want to thank you for helping me come to terms with my own rape, I'm still not comfortable talking about it, but I want to thank you anyway because when I found this fic it helped me feel better about myself, I don't mean to sound sappy, but thats the truth. So, thank you, I guess, for being brave and showing others through a simple piece of fiction how to deal with that kind of situation. | Reviewed By: Kismet On: February 25, 2003 21:03 CST Rating(s):Style of Writing: 10 of 10 Spelling & Grammar: 10 of 10 Originality/Creativity: 10 of 10 Enjoyment Factor: 10 of 10 Overall Rating: 10 of 10 Comment/Review: Beautifully done, Cherry.

Rape is not something to be taken lightly. It is sad to think that more often than not the bastards who commit these crimes go unpunished. It is important that we find and help others find the courage to come out and tell when these things happen. Thank you. | Reviewed By: Timber Wolf [MediaMiner Member] On: February 18, 2003 10:57 CST Rating(s):Style of Writing: 10 of 10 Spelling & Grammar: 10 of 10 Originality/Creativity: 10 of 10 Enjoyment Factor: 10 of 10 Overall Rating: 10 of 10 Comment/Review: One of the most poignant endings I have ever known...Quatre recovered and the most wonderful words were ""Welcome members of the press, ladies and gentlemen, to the opening of WEI Center for Survivors of Rape and Sexual Assault. The Center, I hope will become a place where experienced counselors and support groups can come together to provide legal, medical, and practical advice for those who are suffering from rape and assault. The Center will also provide a hotline service, connected to professional counselors who are also survivors, available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, completely free of charge…"
The attitude of both law and law enforcement towards rape makes me so sick!
Nobody should have to experience all that but the victims all have an obligation to themselves to survive, as you did.
I know your own experiences were difficult to write about and I have the most sincere respect and admiration for you. I really mean all that with all that I am. | Reviewed By: mkoi On: February 01, 2003 06:14 CST Comment/Review: Nobody should have to experience what you have. I know that sounds cliche.. I'm not good with words but your story have touched me greatly. Even though I am a stranger to you, I admire your courage and strenght to overcome this. I sincerly hope that you live a wonderful life.
