    I love the banner. The first paragraph of the first chapter was by far my favorite. I like the storyline and concept.

    Be careful with your wording. You may want to read over this again and split up some of your sentences.
    Truth be told I was scared of going to the doctor I knew that there was nothing wrong with me that I was just sick, but going to the doctor puts all kinds of thoughts into my head.
    Would flow better punctuated as:
    Truth be told, I was scared of going to the doctor. I knew that there was nothing wrong with me- that I was just sick- but going to the doctor puts all kinds of thoughts into my head.

    The story really was good. I'm subscribing because I'm dying to know if your character makes it to the year goal. :D

    First off, the layout is gorgeous. The image is very sad, but it fits the story perfectly well. There's some grammar errors, but other than that, the story is perfectly gripping, and extremely interesting. I hope you continue with this, and I wish you the best of luck!x

    This is really interesting!

    It's a great concept that you develop, and although it could become very cliched, you've written it to be very original.

    "So here’s my story on how I was going to live a year, no matter what. I just can’t say this story will have a happy ending. "
    This line stood out to me. It's very stark, very harsh and honest and blunt. It's like the narrator is confronting his fate, but still there's this little tinge of hope that he's going to mkae as much of it as he can.

    There are quite alot of very minor grammar mistake, but they didn't make any difference to the story. Just have a quick proof read and fix the tiny errors :)

    But it really is great!

    Yay, Jalex!!
    This story really touched my heart, I love inspirational stories like this.
    Alex and Jack are so sweet together.
    I also love slashes like this, I'm a slash fan so it works very well!
    I think the layout is adorable and I love your writing style.
    You're going have to update soon, or I will cry.
    I love this story, so please do ;D

    I have to say that this sounds very good. :)
    I don't see this type of story on here that much. I just read the intro but I think I might read all of the chapters. :D
    The layout is very simple and pretty. I like it! XD
    keep up the great work! :D

    I don't think I've mentioned this before but I really love your banner showing the different stages of life, it's cute and sad and true. Your second chapter was good, but it had some grammar mistakes. With a little proofreading you'll be able to pick out what doesn't sound right though and that will take care of that. I like how you showed the relationship between what it looks like as of now, the two main characters. I can see that they genuinely care about each other which is very cute. You're doing great, keep it up!

    I don't like the layout much. The photo is quite good though. It captures the feel of the story. Like, every moment is precious? the story sounds very interesting and the title immidietly makes me want to read it. I'm not a fan of fanfics but his is actually okay. You writing style could be improved on. It's slightly cliché and boring. The story itself has quite a good twist to it though so I'm looking forward to more. Well cone!

    I'll just go ahead and say it: I love stories that have plots like this. :) They're always so wonderful and sad. Yet, always uplifting as well.

    I really like this so far, even though I haven't read all of it yet. :)

    Hi there! so I'm going to give you positive and constructive feedback in this comment right here, so hopefully it will be worth your while.
    Positive:
    This is a REALLY interesting story.
    It's relatable because a lot of people know someone who is battling or has died from cancer. (I am in fact one of those people)
    There's a lot you can do with this in the 365 days this story will take place over.
    You've put in what seems like a moral almost "Live life to the fullest, you're never promised tomorrow"
    I can feel the emotion in this first chapter which is an important set up for your overall story, which you captured well.
    Constructive Criticism:
    There are noticeable grammar mistakes in the chapter I read (intro) For example in the first paragraph:
    Everyone has told me live life to the fullest, that your never promise tomorrow. I always thought I lived life to the fullest, I have done everything I ever wanted to do but I was far from wrong. I always thought like everyone else I would get married one day and have a family; I don’t see that happening now. I was in a band something I always wanted to do that was my biggest dream and I finally lived it. I had someone that I loved more then I could put into words. I could sit all day telling everything I loved about that person and never once repeat myself.

    Your never promise tomorrow should be something like 'you're never promised a tomorrow'. When you say 'but I was far from wrong' it seems like it should be 'but I was far from right'. Using the word wrong sounds wrong in that context lol. Your sentence that starts out 'I was in a band something...' should be split into two different sentences. But enough about grammar, those are just some examples. I'm a peer editor for my school's writing center so I'm used to picking out those things. Might I suggest getting a beta? Or just proofreading your story before you post, as the grammar isn't bad, it's just a bunch of minor things. As far as criticism goes, the grammar matter is all I have! (lol grammar matter...sorry just had to laugh at my wording there)
    All in all, excellent job! :)

    I really liek this banner picutre, though I'm a bit scared of the title
    I have a feeling one of the boys only has that lon to live D:
    it's in Jack's P.O.V too :)
    but I mean Jack is so lively, how could he die ?
    and he knew itwhen performing, dang that would be terrible
    brain cancer? Oh no, gosh I can't deal wth cancer, not at all
    even though this is a sad concept- I still ike it
    it's a really good idea, and it's greatly written so far <3 :D

    awww
    I'm gonna cry
    both from physical and emotional pai
    this is so sad
    sniff sniff
    I don't want jack to die
    every time I read a cancer story
    I cry at the end
    and I know it's gonna be evn worse this time
    since it's jack with cancer
    sniff sniff
    nd it's so weird
    bc the only time I cry in stories
    is wen it has to do with cancer
    evn wen Alex died in this stor I read
    I didn't cry
    but I most likely will
    if it rly haplened
    WHICH IT WON'T
    ALL TIME LOW WILL NEVER DIE
    NEVER
    EVER
    NEVEREVEREVEREVERVEVERVEVERVEVERVEVEREVEREVEREVERVEVEREVEREVEREVERVEVEREVERVER

    this story is so sweet

    oh and I rly don't want to be mean but u hve a couple of mistakes
    the most common is wen you write "hi "I
    like that
    it suppose to go
    "hi", I and I'm not saying tht u actually wrote hi
    it's just an example
    but yeah
    I love ur story and the way u write it's rly good
