    Until today, I had never recommended something I'd read to anyone on another site. I started reading this today, (and read until I got all the way done with 35) and I loved it so much that I had to recommend it on both my tumblr and my twitter. I really love the concept of this and honestly can't wait for an update. Thank you for writing such an amazing work of art. :)

    Nice updates!! It's been really suspenseful and I can't wait to see whats going to happen now that Amy has finally accepted her life as a dreamer. I like how you made it realistic because she was still questioning her decision to become a dreamer, it wasn't just all of a sudden. I can't wait to see how Amy and Casper's relationship progress (: update soon x

    Ooh suspense! I really hope they don't caught.. (: I loved your descriptions of the city, I myself absolutely love London and am much more of a city girl than a countryside person and I agree with how you said that no matter what would happen with the Dreamers and the Realisten, the city would always be there. Update soon!

    i want to agree with the comment above, i haven't been on mibba for like ever, and the story is going brilliant. i love how your starting to build up Amy and Casper's relationship; they are just adorable and Casper being all jealous is quite entertaining. can't wait for your update!

    This story is so good! I haven't commented or read in a while beacuse I've been a bit awol from mibba lately and it was good to get a catchup (: I love where've you taken this story, I completley agree with you aswell, your really good at writing dialogue, your characters seem really real. I like how you pay as much attention to plot, by writing about Dreamers and the war, as well as focusing on the relationship between Amy and Casper. I also like how its not happening straight away but more slowly which makes it more meaningful. I'm still captivated even at 29 chapters, and I also liek the new layout (: Update soon! x

    This story is really long, but REALLY AWESOME! I love it, I'd totally be a rebel. I can compare myself to Amy though as well (:

    Alright. So, I am commenting as I read this. I believe someone already stated that period is needed between Mr and Goodliff. So, I'll skip over that. The concept is interesting, not unheard of though. Definitely not the most original idea, but as writers we're not here to focus on originality solely. If you focus on that too much you find it harder and harder to write good stories. What we're to do is take cliched, already used ideas and portray them in a way that appeals to us as writers and may or may no have ever been seen before. This idea, in particular, is quite similar to that of the book, Fahrenheit 451. In it, imagination and creativity have too been banished. Firefighters don't put out fires, they create them by burning books since books have been banned. It's interesting and that's what this concept reminded me of.

    Of course, I am getting off topic. Although, this is an interesting topic that not many people use, it doesn't catch my interest and the intro is extremely long. I do like your creativity and your use of different words, as well as your grasp on good grammar. However, I'm sorry to say that I honestly can't get past the first 'chapter'. I'll stay subscribed. Maybe eventually I'll try to read it again, but for now I'm going to stop here.

    PS. Sorry it took so long for me to comment.

    Love this story and the whole idea of it :) Makes me think if something like that would ever actually happen. Just wish you would update sooner!

    Wow, this story is incredible, I really enjoyed reading it. The layout is simple but stylish I think it's suits Amy's character at the beginning, unfortunately I have ran out of time today to read all the chapters -only got to chapter eight or so- but I look forward to reading the rest of the chapters. Again, great story and I really enjoyed reading it. Nice Job! :)

    I've never really seen a concept like this before that was executed well, but yours definitely was.
    The chapters are pretty long (at least, the first one was), but worth reading for sure. It reads sort of like a sci-fi novel.
    I'm curious to see where this goes, so I'll keep reading. The only thing that I was sort of "meh" about was the blue font on the black background. It was sort of hard to read, but that might just be me.
    Anyway, great job! :]

    I love the entire concept of this story. The whole idea of not being able to imagine is frightening and yet, as time passes and even the children I come into contact with are less and less fanciful, I admit that I've wondered if something like this could happen.

    It's a great idea and done very well.
    I'll definitely keep reading =)

    Oh, I find the layout quite lovely(: The banner is so beautiful and just..amazing.

    In the summary, I would change "37" to "thirty-seven" to make it flow better. Also when you wrote,"Down in that underworld, she met the Dreamers; the rebels; the terrorists. And her life changed forever."

    I wouldn't put semi colons but instead commas. Though this has sparked a curiosity in me, I think it would sound better as,"Down in that underworld, she met the Dreamers, the rebels, and the terrorists. Then, her life changed forever." But that's just me.

    Mr Goodliff should have a period between Mr and Goodliff so it should be, Mr. Goodliff.

    There were a few choppy sentences but it didn't glare at me(:

    Overall I loved this piece and I find it very interesting <33(: I'm sorry if my comment sounded harsh; it wasn't my intention.

    Update soon! <3

    Ahh, I'm glad you told us a bit of history. It's really interesting. I'm kinda wondering what World War III was about, though ;)

    Imma just say, if imagination was banned in the world we lived in now--I'd be completely screwed.

    I've liked the latest chapter. I can't wait to see how they vandalize. :P

    Also, I noticed something--there's a line (‘What was that about?’ Amy asked with mild interest as she looked up from her bowl of cereal.) that appears to be said by Amy, then after Casper tells her, she says 'I'm in.' However, the next thing Casper says is that he's hoping she'll stay with Amy, then he looks over to Amy's 'disinterested' face. So obviously, you've got something mixed up there--the first Amy should probably be someone like Imogen, right?

    I've only read one and a half of your chapters but it has me captivated. I really like the idea behind it all, about imagination being banned. Everyone says the world will be controlled by technology and everything, but now thats all gone and its been replaced with government. Can't wait to read more! :c) xxx<3xxx
