    The plot sounds freakishly similar to "Across the Universe" by Beth Revis. Are you sure you haven't read that story before?

    Wow. This story...wow. I've never seen anything like it. It's amazing. Amazing. This may be the best story I've ever read on Mibba. I would never say anything like that, especially on the first chapter. I hate first chapters. But, wow. I found a few other typos, different from the ones passion paradox mentioned. But, other than that, it was brilliant. I would almost beg fro you to continue as quickly as possible.

    Summary: The summer was really interesting. I haven't read a lot of science fiction, and I kind of like the idea of traveling through space. Plus, it kind of reminds me of Star Ocean- not the plot or anything, but about all this technology and such. It's exciting :D

    There was only one typo in the summary:

    Colette was born into a war-ravanged earth… - I think it's "ravaged?"

    But that was really all. Over all, I think this is a good summary. Informative like a summary should be.

    Chapter One:
    This was over all an interesting read. Informative, but entertaining. It's only the first chapter, so I don't know the protagonist too well. However, I'm sure she'll develop a voice in the later chapters :) I think it's cool that I, not knowing a lot of these things - I mean, I can't even fathom space travel, let alone think up a plot like this - was able to understand through your descriptions. I could picture it in my head like a movie. It was cool! Plus, the concept of a ravaged, post-war Earth intrigues me.

    There were a few typos here and there, but they weren't big:

    This all happened when I was only five years old… - I think you can delete "only" as the first part of the sentence contains, "This all". But it might just be a stylistic issue or me lol

    When I first heard of traveling to this ‘new earth’, this planet ‘Nueva Vida’ as it was dubbed. My parents never wanted to travel to the new planet.. - I feel like the first sentence is a bit awkward since you started it with a "When", so I feel like it would flow better if an explanation preceded it this sentence? It leaves me a "what about it?"

    but seeing that there was barely nothing left for them on this earth - This might be another stylistic issue, but I think it's "anything".

    they finally decided to leave when I was at the still young age of 20. - Just a typo-ish thing. Maybe "when I was only 20" would work? Or something like that.

    nor did we know what to except, - Just a typo.

    despite having an Food Tube in his arm.- typo: "an"- "a"

    Over all, this was well written and entertaining, even if it's only the first chapter. Good job!

    I may be young, but I read A LOT. I have NEVER come across something like this. THe plot, it's amazing. Waking up alone; *been there done that* Waking up alone in outer space; *Sits up* Waking up alone in outer space and falling in love with someone you can't talk to for a year *Puts on reading glasses* Amazing! I'll be honest, half the stufff on mibba I don't like, not becuase of the quality, just the genere. This is amazing! I would say, it's perfect. I would say I have to wait for later chapters untill I give my critism. Subscribed!
