    I enjoyed reading this. It was really fun and I like photography. It would be cool to hang out with a band.

    Ahhh this is perfect! I love the layout is is utterly beautiful all the way around. The story is just as amazing. I love how it's from a band photographers point of view since that is never seen.I found the summary charming since it has so much truth to it. Most girls do want to be those things. XD But the main character fought against the crowd.

    Okay, first of all I would like to praise the layout: It is pretty, but it’s also extremely easy to read. And I’m finding less and less of that lately.

    I really like this. It’s well-written, and I haven’t found too many mistakes. The last bit of the last chapter confused me a little, because I think you may have accidentally switched from first-person to second-person, but I may have just read it wrong. I’m glad she got off the drugs, too :) and Wolf seems oddly…creepy, but that may just be me again. I like Chris though!

    Anyway, I’m really enjoying this, and plan on subscribing.

    The first thing I noticed was that the picture at the top changes chapter to chapter. This isn't something that I see very often, and I really like that. It shows a visual transition between chapters. The summary drew me in, and the main character reminds me of me in a way. I was always 'one of the guys' as well, more into playing with G.I. Joes and matchbox cars than I was girly things.

    I also like reading a story through the perspective of a photographer. I always wanted to be behind the scenes with the bands, and it seems like it would be really cool. She likely doesn't make a whole lot of money, but that isn't what it's all about, right? It's too bad that she tried the drugs. Hopefully she doesn't get hooked.

    This was very well written with just the right amount of detail, great character descriptions, and I didn't really see any mistakes. Good job!

    I'm not a big fan of the small font or that is feels like it is mushed to the sides of the story content. I love the summary. tThe monster truck driver got me good. I wanted to do that at one point...-laugh out loud-

    Any who, I've never seen the changing chapter images before, how's you do that? It's awesome. I really like that it feels like real life. It is all relatable and junk. Everything flows so well, and the drugs were a really good kick in the story.

    It seems like real high school now. Awesome story!

    I love this. I like how you change the picture of the layout every now and then. It's great.

    Anyway, let's get serious. This story is...awesome! I love it because it's so different. I really liked the third chapter because it dealed with drugs, which means she's not perfect. lol.

    Please update soon! I look forward to it.

    The layout is great. I don't think it matches the main banner, exactly, but it still goes together, you know? The summary is capturing, as well. I can definitely relate – I never wanted to be what the other girls wanted to be, and when I finally thought I had it all figured out, I moved on to yet another thing.

    I love how each chapter has a sort of different banner, instead of just having the title and going from there. It's very creative; I've never seen someone do that before!

    Chapter one was cute. It wasn't so uptight and professionally written, but not sloppy. It's a hell of a lot easier to get into the storyteller's head when the author writes like that. I enjoyed how it was very relatable – thinking the random friend request was some sort of creep. Everyone's been through that before. ;) Plus, how at the beginning, the storyteller seemed to connect with the reader and acknowledge that the story is...well, a story. It doesn't work in some stories, but you definitely made it work in this one, I think!

    Everything in the story seems to flow very nicely, and it's a fun read! One teensy thing, though, is that maybe you want to elongate some of your sentences. That was the only thing I noticed. Overall, it was a really fun story to read. :D

    The summary is so adorable already, oh my god. i already want to get to know there characters, because this girl seems so relatable just from what you've told us.

    This is told in an almost similar style of the 100 Ways to be a Groupie or whatever the title is by ronnie radke with the narrative style and such; it's nice, though, and it's sort of different. there's somethign simple about the sentence structure that sort of throws me off, though; i'm just very used to long sentences, though, so it's more a personal preference if anything. preform should be perform, by the way.

    i love how she goes on and on about everything and how wonderful it is; she reminds me of a friend of mine, abi. she gets into a lot of shows and takes these wonderful pictures and gets to know the bands; it's honestly really cool, yanno? it sort of makes me think that this girl is gonna end up being really awesome because of what she's learned through her band days, and that she's going to grow a lot, especially judging by what was just in those first few paragraphs.

    overall, i really do enjoy this; it's cute and fairly fascinating and adorable. i'll have to follow this to see where it goes :)

    DELILAH AND CHRIS SITTING IN A TREE, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

    THAT'S WHAT I'LL BE SINGING. BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. AND IF IT DOESN'T I'LL BE TOTES UPSET, BRO.

    Anyway, this chapter was just like the rest - so freaking cute! There's just an adorableness that surrounds this entire story and makes me want to pinch the cheeks of it. Even though it doesn't have cheeks. Or a face. I JUST LOVE CHRIS SO MUCH OH MY GOD. :'D

    First off, the layout is gorgeous! I love how you have a different picture each chapter.
    I like the story a lot. Even though the plotline is a bit clichéd, you bring a nice spin to it and your voice really shines through: it sounds like a teenage girl is really narrating it. I'm quite intrigued about what's going to happen!

    Chapter Four:

    This is by far my favorite chapter, I feel like my question from the last chapter about where the story is going was kind of answered. I like your characters and the scenes you are setting them up with. You really are a talented author and I hope you really keep writing because I will miss it if you stop. You have a new faithful reader :D

    Chapter Three:

    I should start by saying I know nothing about drugs. But from what you wrote I felt like I understood what was going on which is really cool. I get why you need this chapter but I am kind of confused as to where this story is going. But I still like it!

    Chapter Two:

    So first of all I realized I like the length of your chapters, not too short but not too long. I like the feel of this story and the rate it is moving at. Though sometimes I confuse myself when she talks to the reader and then i remember what is going on. I am really liking this though.

    Chapter One:

    First of all I am totally in love with your layout, I sat and stared at it for a while thinking hm... I wish my ceiling looked like that. Anyway so far I really like the story, at first I was like "Ugh not another I am so different story" but after I started reading I really got into and like this story a lot.

    ONTO CHAPTER TWO!

    The moment I read the summary, you already got me interested with the story. I envy you for that. I'm never really good with summaries. And the way you introduce the girl's character is so smooth and it flows naturally. I love it.

    Reading this story is like reading a diary of this girl. And I feel like I'm getting into her head and it's interesting. Everything flows just nicely and naturally and I love how the story isn't about a typical girl being a friend of a band and then all the boys in the band start to like her. Or, I hope this story won't have like one of those plotlines.

    Good work. ^_^

    I really like the nebulas background, it's so color-gasmic & pretty. Even if it hurts a little.

    The prologue was great. I nearly laughed out-loud when you mentioned being a monster truck driver. Actually, I went to a monster truck show once & it would be quite cool to do that as a job. However, yeah, that was really funny. I'm sensing that there will be a good chunk of humor in this for which I'm sure I'll enjoy, based on that.

    Haha, first sentence is hook, line & center. At first I thought it was a mis-placed author's note, then face-palmed, then re-read & laughed. I like the whole "connect with the audience directly" perspective that you have set-up. I haven't read one of these in a while.

    Aw, I wish I had a friend in a band. I don't know, the way the main character & the bassist have their type of friendship is really sweet & I'm jealous. I can see this going many different directions, which is good. In this kind of story, it's too dull if you know the plot already. I'm glad to see you've avoided this. I wouldn't mind taking pictures to get to the VIP area, either. Not at all.

    The title of this seems really familiar, & judging by the end of chapter two, I'm assuming it's a real song. Excuse me, I'm having a moment; I can't think of it. I'm also assuming that the lyrics from the first chapter are from the same song or band?

    The drug part seems pretty accurate, based on what my friends have said. I think you're portraying everything quite well.

    The layout made me jizz a little bit tbh. It's like an eyegasm. ANYWAY. I think I know which direction you're taking this, but probably not because I think you'll surprise us. I just wish your writing wasn't so flowy and so detailed because it makes me jealous. ahah.

    Ok, first of all, the layout is complete eye candy. I LOVE IT. Secondly, the summary. It's fantastic because it reminds me of how I was when I was little. At first I thought it was going to be one of those stories where you were like 'I didn't want to be a ballerina or a princess - I wanted to be a firefighter or a football player', but it was more realistic. Urgh. Love it. You're a fantastic writer, but as it goes on, it becomes slightly cliche and flat. The idea itself isn't cliche, and neither is your writing style, but certain words and references you use are. It's overall wonderful, though. I can tell that you took your time with the titles and photos and everything, and I wish I was patient enough to do that with my stories.
