    I liked that you started it off with a definition and then that contrary little comment before going on into the actual storyline itself. And with that story line, I have this feeling as if things could get really exciting while still being something that is almost normal in story which is really hard to do with fantasy.

    I think the summary is short and direct, yet very appealing; it makes me want to read the story right away, and it left me in expectation and suspense of what is to come.
    a very good one, I shall say.

    I'm not really a fan of it. I don't think there was enough information given about the story itself. You don't really describe it very well. You more describe that it's a Frerard and that it's in a church I wish you could have used more detail.

    Also I don't think you need to write "i'll fucking kill you if you steal my work" at the bottom.

    I really like this. It's gripping and makes me want to read the story; I want to know more about the character and her struggle. The way you move it on, as well, means that you leave a lot to the story itself. I think it gives the perfect amount away. On a side note, I love the layout. It's very classy looking & fits perfectly with the summary.

    I'm not sure about the use of "that is" at the start of the second paragraph. There's something about that that doesn't sit quite right with me. It's almost makes it not need the new paragraph, because it's a continuation from the sentence before anyway.

    Also, the disclaimer at the bottom is tiny; I don't know if it's my resolution, but I genuinely have to lean in to read it.

    ^ I like the fact that I think Natalie so far, is really relatable. I know myself included, a lot of people say they're going to do all these things, make all these resolutions, and never stick with them. I like the fact that right off that bat a lot of people can identify with her.

    And too, it's nice to see when a character has an actual flaw and brings problems upon herself, and isn't some pure and innocent who bad things happen to for no reason at all. Josh too, seems like a really interesting person.

    It's a really good summary and I'd definitely read it.

    ^ The opening sentence immediately caught my attention. I loved the detail and the many metaphors you used throughout the whole thing. It really made me think about who I was as a person related to my past. My favorite sentence is : "Drowning in their denial, Anastasia and Noah will have to come up for air soon..." Overall this was really well written and I am definitely going to read it :)

    It sounds mysterious. Kind of like a Th1rteen R3asons Why-esque plot. (It's by Jay Asher, incase you're interested.) I like the sense of urgency I felt when I read it. Fantastic job

    Okay, I know it's a summary comment but I just wanted to say I adore your layout. The blue is so pretty and I like the font that you used, however the border contrasts greatly with the light and prettiness of the background, maybe make it a bit lighter?

    Onto the summary.
    The first sentence immediately drew me in when you described he first learnt how to spell love in kindergarten. Good job.

    However, numbers under one hundred should be typed out.
    But overall, well done!

    ^Muu! Hello again, the power of justice! :) Your summary was lovely the first time around and still is the second time around. XD The lay out is prettiful. It reminds me of fluffy stuff. Don't know why but it does.

    ^ This is such an interesting and different idea. It's completely original, and I think that enough draws the reader in and makes them want to know what happens next. I don't think it's necessary for you to state that it's set in a medieval fantasty realm, because the talk of princesses, knights and dragons conveys that pretty well.

    Overall, great job (:

    I really like it!! Panic! is kinda an obsession of mine(: I think you may want to rethink the last sentence, just because it's somewhat abrupt and not actually a complete sentence.

    Overall, I think the actual story sounds pretty creative and written in a unique style based off the summary. FAN. FREAKING. TASTIC. layout, by the way!!

    The first sentence is actually really confusing. I had to reread it a few times. You might want to look back over it because the word fame doesn't seem to make sense in the context. Overall though it looks like a good summary though I think the quote is probably a bit unnecessary in combination to the actual summary. I'd say do one or the other.

    That leaves a lot of mystery as to the meaning behind it. I find it intriguing, I want to know what it means. It's a really great attention grabber.

    I don't know too much about hockey XD but the summary was really short. I'm a sucker for long summaries so I'm kind of biased. But I do like how it was simple and straight to the point but the ending hints at what the whole story is about so it definitely leaves the reader wanting more instead of already know what to expect when they start reading it.

    I like how set everything up in so short a time. I think with a story like what I am seeing built there is the whole introduction without dragging everything out and through the mud over and over again which is really important.

    I really like how it's almost a dialogue... It seems like the italics, Eloise, is talking to someone she doesn't know or some sort of spirit. I don't know, but it sounds cool and cryptic.

    Wow! That is a beautiful summary. It is very engaging and makes the reader wonder what exactly this story is going to be about which in this case is a very good thing.

    That was actually REALLY intriguing(: The second sentence, however, is a fragment. Other than that, I was actually extremely drawn in by the song lyrics. The layout's extremely classy!! Altogether, I was thoroughly impressed and I'm probably going to read the story now actually haha(:

    ^ Claimed.

    I really liked the first couple of paragraphs. I think they help to set the mood of the story - seems to be a Murphy's Law kind of story, where everything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

    I didn't like the list (the third part of the summary) very much. I think it would've looked much better if the things were listed in a line instead (Blackmail, pregnancy, lust, love, jealousy, arson, guns, and...death?).

    In the last sentence of the summary, I think it would look much better with the word 'never' just italicized. When it's both italicized and underlined, it's too much emphasis and looks a bit childish.

    I also think the disclaimers (the actual disclaimer and the information about the story being a equal) should be posted in smaller font. Right now it looks like it's part of the summary and it makes the page appear a sloppy.

    I really like it. The summary very nicely presents you with a background and gives little hints without actually giving away what the plot is. It is also very simple. You don't try to overload the reader with details. You also give a very simple and very interesting hook. I wish I could manage summaries like this.
