    All I can really say is... wow
    The fact that you kept the tone magical and formal throughout the whole story is amazing.
    I'm a sucker for the magical and fantasy world so this story literally had me grinning from ear to ear

    Swarming through the branches were the tree faeries, glistening in the warm sunlight. Shimmering were the High Queens of Promise. They were the messengers to the sun, speaking words none of the other tree faeries understood. The High Queens of Promise brought everything wonderful to the colony. Never would Aerh have thought that they were actually plotting something very grave to the Tree of Hope... << Beautifully worded descriptions. It felt as if I was watching some sort of fairy movie unfold.

    I think your writing was awesome. You flowed so well, really. I was like HOLY CRAP SHE'S AWESOME AT THIS. The story was....kind of confusing. Like the whole thing with the two fairies and then all of the sudden these fairies turning into humans...I was confused. But, your imagery and flow were fantastic and the story, though confusing to me, had a cute concept. Maybe I just need to read it again. All in all, I say great job!

    For some reason, I got this Avatar vibe.
    I think it was the Tree of Hope that did that, teehee. :)

    I really liked this. It's been a while since I've seen a poetically
    and gourgeously detailed fairy story such as this. <3 It put
    a smile on my face fer sure. :)

    The whole concept and alternate everything seems very unique
    and original. :)

    Good job.<3

    Very good.
    I wrote a one-shot for school about how Mt. St. Helen was formed but, it wasn't nearly as good as this. :) Great job.

    Wow. This was very interesting. I like the whole alternate reality that was created in this story. It was interesting, and it edged on an origin story, which I like. The connection to more familiar things is usually what makes a fantasy story work.

    Great job.

    I was confused. Were they both girls; the two lovers?

    And the one's who could talk to the sun, were they human?

    I liked that this was set in a tree. I also liked that the branches were different parts. (:

    This reminded me of folk lore meets avatar X)

    I loved the first half and how descriptive it was. The ending seemed a little rushed though, maybe it could be expanded upon? Or maybe it's just the transition seems really abrupt compared to how nicely the rest flows. Anyways, a really magical tale and I loved it :)

    If you could please comment on this[warning dark] or this

    This title jumped out at me, for some reason. And so I read it, expecting some rambling thing about nature.
    But no. I got something amazing. I haven't seen anything like this on Mibba.
    Remarkable, really. And the writing style suited it well. :D

    This one-shot is different from what I see here on Mibba. I quite enjoyed reading something about faeries. You have set up a wonderfully magical world in this one-shot; it was all rather remarkable!

    Finally, a story not about teen angst and the likes. I like this. ^^ This place you've created was so magical and beautiful. Keep up the good writing.

    I love these sorts of stories. I seem to stumble across them when I'm not expecting it, and it's brilliant because it's writing how writing should be - something that takes you to a totally different world. You did such a good job with this, it was truly magical =]

    Well done!

    It's been so long since I've read something like this, and I kind of regret it now that I've read it.
    It reminds me a lot of Greek tales, where they used myths and tales to explain why things in nature existed the way they do. I.e. the man in the moon being two lovers.
    You brought me back to my childhood days, when fairies were watching me all the time (creepy, if you think about it now, eh?).
    Your writing was definately what made it, though. It wouldn't have been nearly as effective had there not been such excellent narration.
    Mazeltov. It rocks.

    This is such an amazing story... like an old folklore tale, and it's narration sounds like one too.

    It's a really unique piece what you have here. I've never read anything alike.

    The narration style adds a lot to the mytologic feeling that your story has, and your two characters sound a lot like us, humans, trying to understand everything, filled with curiosity.

    I really have nothing bad to say about this. It's simply gorgeously written and with beautiful descriptions.
