Very much appreciated
I love to keep in touch with this story. It's very sweet. At times it's even very very ~very~ sweet, but still I really want to keep track. Also do I wonder how much more sidestepping and backtracking will occur before there's a little more development in the Amber - Amy relation, at times it so hesitant and circumvent in the story that I feel the need to skip parts in the story before I get annoyed because of the way it skirts the issue(s).
That makes me a little sad because I feel it's not doing the story right, after all there is a reason you tell it like you do, and I feel like cheating you a little. But I can't help it, in fear of becoming exasperated with the whole story.
And there is this little point of critique -if you'll excuse me- You start this story with a very insecure and easily shaken Amy, and then increase it some more with Chrissy excelling in every aspect. Not only does she look better, cares more for people, is appreciated more, cooks better. And on, and on. And gradually Chrissy is taking over the stage, leaving Amy in her dust, lagging in anything but being called Amy. I was under the impression that this story mainly evolved about Amy, this chapter however was heavily tuned to the perils of Chrissy.
I may be entirely wrong, and I do hope so, because frankly I'd like it that the story would be more about the more mundane Amy and the emerging relation between her and Amber.
Thanks for your writing, I sincerely like your effort,
Jo-Anne
Sorry for going off track
I'm sorry you feel the need to skip parts of the story. I thought i had a nice flow going, and most of what i wrote revolved around Amy.
I'm at a loss as to what I can do to fix the problem, but i will take some time, and see what i can come up with to fix the problem with the way i'm telling the story.
I hope to add to the story again one day soon, once i've worked out a better way of telling it, so the reader doesn't feel the need to skip all the boring bits.
bye for now.

No no no
You've got me all wrong. Geez. I guess a lot of your writing in the Chrissy personage is from a personal angle. You do NOT have to work on a better way to tell the story. Believe me, don't run away and cry on your pillow, because I am a big meanie.
I said : "I feel the need to skip" but something like that doesn't mean I actually do it. And ~if~ I do that, well, than that's my loss. Ain't it? Then I'll loose out on silly little fun bits between Chrissy and Becky, or Mandy and Carl(a). And all the others.
You ~have~ a nice flow going. And I actually think I was shooting my mouth off, because I suspect you get back in the Amy-Amber groove primarily in the next following chapters.
I am sorry Sara, I didn't mean to hurt or insult you, nor do I want to tell you what to do. It's just that when I've read a story(chapter) that moves me, I just can't suffice with commenting something like:
Oh, that was nice. Write more.
I feel the need to elaborate why and how I am enamoured with a story. And believe me, your story gets to me, or I wouldn't take the effort to comment.
Jo-Anne
I need all of your help NOW!
Sara sent me this Email this morning and I just can't deal with it any more.
So if you people want her to continure this story then y'all get her back and quit scaring her off!

Hi Chris
I just wanted to drop you an email to thank you for all the help with the proofing of my story, and putting it up at top shelf.
After reading a comment on the latest part to be posted. I'm giving up writing any more, as it looks like people are board with the way I'm telling the story.
I thought I was doing an okay job, but what do I know.
I'm thinking of putting together one lat bit of writing, to let everyone know I was going to end it, but then i will give up.
Guess i was never cut out to be a writer after all.
Thanks again Chris, and can you pass my thanks on to Hope as well.
Hugs & Love

Very well done.
Every time a new chapter of this is released, I lose several hours as I have to read the preceding chapter or two first. Yup, it's that good. Very good character development, makes you wish that these people are real....
Wish i could write even a fraction as well.
Thank you - J

I Absolutely Adore This Story
I absolutely love this story and please, please please continue this. The interaction of all the characters is what makes this one of the very best stories anywhere. Amy's story is a vital part of the interrelationship with all of her sisters and her mum. We have been waiting for the Amy/Amber relationship to develop, but to do that, Amber has to get a good understanding of the various personalities of all her sisters. Please don't stop because there are so many of us who look forward to each new chapter. Don't change a thing about the way you tell this story. It is wonderful! You are loved!
Hugs

Hi Sara
Hi Sara
Please dont give up writing because of one or two comments, I love the story you are writing. This chapter had me both laughing and crying as usual with your story. Dont get disheartened and stop writing please.
The story does seem drawn out at times but I find it adds more to the suspense and drama of the story also having missunderstandings between the characters is why the story is called you've got it all wrong. Although I too am desperate to see Amy and Amber get it together I feel it shouldn't be rushed.
I would love nothing better than seeing Amy and Amber get it together right now but that to me would be like reading the end of a book before starting it, I thoroughly enjoyed this chapter and more than once found myself in tears.
What can I say I have always found your storys to contain such strong emotional content, As for Chrissy I feel she is a big part of the story and I feel it is good to include her like this in the story, if it didn't then it would change who the characters are.
I think you are doing a super job as you have been since you started writing you've got it all wrong, I like the flow of the story and the way the characters interact, dont give up please so many people read your story they might not all comment but they read it and return chapter after chapter to read the next.
Love N Hugs

A Real Pleasure
I love this story. Sara, I hope you continue with it in the style you have been using so far. I know from the comments and votes that many people really like what you have created so far. Please don't let a small number of negative comments put you off of your writing.
I think we all have fragile egos, in our own ways
Hi All,
I suspect I come off as quite brash and tactless sometimes, but I try not to offend, well MOST of the time.
Ok, I admit it, I take 'pot shots' at John in Wauwatosa in order to try to get him to post more 'Joannie Brown' stories. Maybe, a bit too often.
Most of my "offencive" commentary is meant in jest, it's just that it often falls flat on its face. On the other hand I know I'm quite fragile about others feeling offended by something I might have said but meant in a completely different way than it was interpreted by a reader. Sometimes I wonder "How can that person NOT see that THAT was a joke?" But then, we are all different and what one thinks is a joke, can strike a particular troublesome memory with someone else. Take for example ChrisW's posting chapter 13 of Sara's story without sending it to me for editing, I was REALLY REALLY worried that I had offended Chris or Sara with some remark and they no longer wanted my help. Stupid of me, maybe, to react that way, but I did anyway. I think MANY of us have a little "Chrissy" in us. The trick I guess is to try to recognize when someone is doing a "Chrissy" and let them know, as caringly as possible, that the problem is easily solved with open communication. OK, MAYBE "easily" is a bit of an exaggeration, but the ONLY way to solve a "Chrissy" problem is to talk about it.
Ok, end of 'soap-box' rant.
with love,
Hope
with love,
HER
Once in a while I bare my soul, more often my soles bear me.
Please Continue!
You have a very good, sweet story here. I won't say 'don't give up' because you should do whatever makes you happiest, but I will say that I hope what makes you happiest is to continue this wonderful story. I'm sooo looking forward to seeing the Amy/Amber relationship develop some more!

Please, please, please, please, PLEASE
Please don't stop this gentle tale. I always look forward to new adventures of this group of young women and their friends. I am always entertained by the slow-burning romances, and the ability to quickly misunderstand almost each and every comment that any of them make. I just wish that my friends hugged as much and loved as much as these obviously do.
OK, I have made the odd, I hope, constructive comment but overall I just love this. Please continue!

You Are A Wonderful Storyteller!!! Please Keep Going!!!
Please don't let a few bad comments get to you. Everyone's a critic... I, for one, love this story and love your style and writing. These characters are incredibly sweet and are a breath of fresh air in the midst of all of the negativity in our lives. Yes, the story tends to meander, but that's what makes it wonderful! It's about the characters and their personal relationships, not about some bullet list of plot points to hit in as few words as possible. The goal-focused style of so many male writers is the opposite of what this story needs, and you give it the perfect female touch. :) Keep up the good work!
I do wish you had more confidence in yourself... but that's what all of your fans are for. :) Please keep writing and developing this wonderful universe that you've created!
Don't Give Up!!!
Please, do not stop writing. This story is wonderful! You're doing a great job of it. The story is well paced. The characters are well fleshed out. I'm always left wanting to read the next chapter. If someone has nothing but complaints about your story, then that's their problem. Not your own. Don't give up! It's your story, write it your way. You can do it! You're doing better than ok, you're doing great! Don't let anyone get you down. I look forward to reading your next chapter (hoping it's not the last). Please keep writing.
Big Hug,
Tim Washburn
Please keep writing. I love this story
Please keep writing. I love this story.
I feel that any story with “You Have it All Wrong†in the title is about Chrissy, Mandy and Becky.
In Part 3 you introduce Carl/Carla and Vic/Vicky as new members of the family. In “You Have it All Wrong 2†Amy’s story, you are introducing three new members of the family Amy, Ann and Amber.
I want to hear about the different members of the family, whether it is about Chrissy and Becky, or about Amy and Amber.
Not that I think you need to but, you could just title future chapters as “You Have it All Wrong Three†with a subtitle of The continuing adventures of Chrissy and family. That way in any future chapters you can write about any members of the family, without people complaining.
I repeat I DO WANT TO HEAR ABOUT DIFFERENT MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY
Thanks and please keep writing

This is only of the most
This is only of the most entaining stories I have read. It always keeps my interest.
I truely hope that SaraUK keeps writing it.
A perfect example
A perfect example of the story title You Have it all Wrong... or how misunderstanding a comment by the author grows in such a way that the author decides to (almost?) give up on a marvelous story... Could you at least please have a second look at the comments, think about them, ask yourself what the commenter really meant and then decide whether you want to kill this fantastic story ?
Good luck on making your final decision and keep up the good work as you have done so far ;)
