All right, finally got a minute to catch up on some of this feedback here.

Yeah, it was a little contrived.
I wanted to try something epic, but I kinda realized early on that it wasn't quite the epic I was going for. I tried to refocus into something more sympathetic and emotional with Sibling Rivalry...

...and apparently succeeded!
prawndiddy wrote:Now that I've seen part 5 I feel a little more of that incredulity on how things might play out, but honestly you've managed to create characters with more personality and depth than (I would imagine) a lot of romance novels.
I can't help but wonder if you're still incredulous now that it's over. And I appreciate your comment about the depth of the characters, I really put a lot of soul in bringing them to life - the tease wouldn't have worked otherwise.
prawndiddy wrote: But on the face of it it seemed... just a bit corny.
I just can't help myself, honestly. Somewhere beneath all the masochism and swagger is a hopeless romantic yearning to be free.
Gets into my writing sometimes.

A few people have mentioned this, and I'll try to keep this in mind when I'm doing teases in the future. The problem is that I can hold edges for ridiculously stupid lengths of time, and it's hard for me to scale that back to a level that is accessible, but I still personally like.

It was
so hard not to run with that as the actual ending, you don't even know.

Maybe it's just me but in my experience, the stricter the parents are, the more likely she is to end up looking like Hailey, not less.
veneloy wrote:I don't know if it's only my problem, but the usage of profanity in your teases is kinda bugging me - neither am I some crazy Westboro morality defender nor an immature anti-religion atheist, but all those Gods and Godddddddds are sometimes getting on my nerves and ruining the mood (not in a religious way, just as a word)
"God" is just a really expressive word, it conveys intensity so well that it gets a lot of use from me. I actually make it a point not to capitalize it (unless it's the first word of a sentence), trying to strip as much religious connotation as possible and let it just be an exclamation.

That's
exactly what I set out to do here, thank you for letting me know.
