Land of a Million Stars - Comments

I remember reading your story a while back (make that a few years ago) and somehow found it again. And wow. Okay, I’ll have to admit I’m glad I re-read this alone in my room. I was bawling my eyes out by the first chapter. My heart just broke, reading the first chapter. I can never imagine what it’d be like attending your own funeral. Yet, you show how tragic and beautiful it can be, when Ella describes her family and Wade at the funeral. I know you said it’d be bittersweet, and it was. But wow, it was also a rollercoaster of emotions.

The ending was bittersweet and hopeful, in a way. I love how Ella ultimately wants them to be happy. I’m glad we see how her family slowly find comfort in each other and slowly find their way back to living their lives, despite the tragedy of losing a loved one.

The part where you wrote “Sometimes, Quinn will take a photo of me with him when he goes outside. On those nights, I try not to watch as much because it’s too painful. Quinn sits and talks, like normal, but he cries on these nights. I don’t like to see Quinn cry.” really made me cry again. That just goes to show how real and difficult it is dealing with death and love. The harsh reality is people move on, but for you (I mean Quinn) it’s just so hard. I also liked how you stated those nights were lessening. It’s a slow process, but we know Quinn will gradually move on.

I could go on and on, but I’ll stop here. It was a beautiful piece and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!

Jesus Christ I am an absolute wreck. I never cry at stories but damn. I knew it was coming the whole time and nothing could stop it, but the scene where he says goodbye to her...

my boyfriend and I are going through a tough time right now. and your story made me realize that no matter what, when you love someone you try and be with them. and try your hardest to stay safe for them, and to keep them safe, and to always count your blessings because there's no guarrantee for how long they'll be in your life - you have to love them while you have them.

so anyway, in not so many words, thank you. this was great.

Completely changed my whole perspective on what a romance story could be. And, um, wow. Trying not to cry.

How can you write something that's so simple, but painfully gorgeous at the same time? It's odd how such a sad story can also be comforting. It's like you're telling your readers not to be afraid of love or death at the same time.

You write so honestly. I wish I had something better to say, but I'm a little intimated to write something of meaning after the last chapter. Keep writing, dear. You know how to write stories that give something back.

Now before I start, please don't think I'm a creeper. When I come across a writer I really like, I go through all their stories & what not. So on with the show...
This is so freaking beautiful, it hurts. You said it'd be bittersweet and oh man were you spot on. I cried, a lot. I've never wished characters the best until Land of a Million Stars came along and Quinn and Ella broke my heart.
This was so wonderfully written even on the chapters you thought you rushed through, they were all lovely. Every word was lovely.
My eyes are all puffy and red from crying, lol. The last chapter of Quinn going outside to cry and not telling his friends Ella was dead broke my heart into pieces; in my head he'll move on. Because he deserves to.
Anywho, I'm going to go look for something happy to read so I don't fall asleep sad.
Have a lovely day you amazing writer :)

oh my god, this is honestly the most original story I've ever read.
Definitely going on my suggested reading list as soon as I'm on the computer c:
That's kinda why I'm not commenting, cause I'm on my iTouch.
But anyways.
Oh god, this story is so beautiful.
Wade and Quinn are just perfect, and it's like Ella's so confused and fractured and broken, but with every person she helps, she's gluing herself back together.
And you're a liar, by the way.
That was THE perfect ending!

OHMYGOD.

ITS NOT FAIR, ITS NOT FAIR! D': I'm crying like a baby right now, its not funny.
I love all your characters, I wish that Ella didn't meet Quinn.. That wasn't fair at all. Since they were meant to be, but then she died too early! Ah, I love her brothers, I loved her dad, I love her mom, an Quinn, and just everybody!

I never cried so hard at a story before .. Its probably because I wouldn't handle seeing my famil cry over me like that, that.. Kill me even more, even though I'm dead! Haha. Damn..

I got a headache now, I cried too much. Now I'm dehydrated. Thanks a lot.

Haha, I loved this story a lot, and I wish it had a different ending.
But it was more realistic, which I'm OK with. Lol, <3

You do have a talent for writing emotion. I want a Quinn. <3

Holy shit. I found this on Project fiction and was really wary of reading it. Just want to say...I shouldn't have been, this story is soo creative and well written, etc. I love it, and the only suggestion I have would maybe to add a date or something between Quinn and Sara? It seems like Quinn and Ellas relationship was really rushed to me, so play up the jealousy? I don't know how well that would work but it may be worth a try! Good luck and Keep Writing!!

So, I’m planning on writing one comment every chapter, sometimes they might be put together and other times separate depending on how many chapters I read, so brace yourself for a bunch of comments from me in a row (:

Firstly, when I saw your beautiful layout it told me the story was good; there are layouts like that and they warn you that you’re about to get into a really awesome story. And I also enjoy the little poem/lyrics on the summary page; I think they’re a really nice start.

1. The first line is excellent and definitely pulled me in. I love all the background info you have put into this chapter. I already have a great feel for the characters. One of my favorite lines was this, and even made sure I didn’t wear anything silly. - It’s simple but it made me smile in all the sadness. One thing I don’t quite understand is how she isn’t sure what school her brother goes to, it just seems like it should be common knowledge for her. Already, I adore how you write descriptions; even as something as morbid as a girl lying in her coffin, you made the picture in my head simple beautiful. The last paragraph just about made me cry but I like how that is how you find out her name, when Wade first speaks.

One thing I noticed, But it was so hard to see them cry. My mom used to cry a lot after my dad left, so that wasn’t has bad. – I’m pretty sure it should be ‘as bad.’

2. I really like that titles of your chapters; they are much more fun then one, two, three etc. I like how you elaborate on how Ella’s death has made her family very delicate like when the carton of milk spills. Your writing is so realistic. This story can really play with a reader’s emotions; seriously, the little story of Ella and Wade made me smile and giggle and then it’s right back to all the sadness. Also, I really enjoy that there are practically no spelling/grammar errors; it keeps it easy to read.

I can't write a long comment because it's almost 1AM and I have class in the morning.
But that does not lessen my love for this story okay? :)

One simple question. Where'd you come up with it?

I mean, I love love The Mediator series and I'm glad to have something remind me of it but it's so original, the way you write and tell this story. Oh God I love Quinn. <3 I'm just...blown away. Thank you for creating this. My heart is aching with love right now, I swear it.

So now I'm going to go to bed to only get up and read this some more.

You are awesome, seriously. <3

Oh my god. This story is absolutely amazing. The ending made me cry.
You are such a great writer! :) I'll definitely check out your other stories.(:

If you develop the plot a little more I truly believe that you can get it published. You captured the reader's interest and made them fall in love with your characters, I enjoyed your story so thank you.

this story is truly beautiful. it broke my heart it the greatest way possible, you are an amazing auther to evoke so many emotions from your readers.

- This story broke my heart then mended it and broke my heart again . But it was beautiful . To be honest I think this story should be published !

This was a beautiful and well written story. I absolutey loved it. I was drawn in from beginning to end, Keep up the great work! I look forward to reading more of your stories.
