The Art of Surviving - Comments

i am incredibly offended that you haven't gotten around to this ok thanks bye
(sorry for leading you to think this was a legitimate comment but oh no i don't make those around here)

woah bc your layout is amazing, but that's a no brainer bc you are fae & also my wife, & my wife is the legit stardust firecracker of my life. your summary is so simple, it takes my breath away & also breaks my heart bc the power of words really manages to set up the first chapter. you manage to incorporate so many things together without overwhelming the reader all the while narrating a goddamn girl. what the hell bc i thought i was reading about gods (aka you're a goddess & all this shit is making me trip like it's goddamn matrix or something)

losing control.:

I always read your stories and then don't comment on them because I can never figure out what to say to capture how much I love them.

BUT SAME

First of all, this layout is so amazing.

I always read your stories and then don't comment on them because I can never figure out what to say to capture how much I love them. BUT.

I love the characters you create. They're all so interesting and unique and I just get so captivated by them and feel like I need to know every little thing about them. Jaxon's sass gives me life, oh my god. He's the greatest. I really love how you're able to get across how all the characters are feeling with just their movements and the way that they talk. Like Jaxon can say that he's tired but you already know because of how he's acting and saying to people. I also love the relationship between Venus and Jaxon because it feels so real and natural. It really fits in with the way they are as people and I love that.

I can't say enough good things about this story, but I'll stop there. I really really can't wait to see what happens next.

this is going to be the most incoherent comment bc tiredness so forgive me when everything inevitably becomes a mess

FAE
THIS LAYOUT IS SO BOMB
I'VE READ ONE LINE AND I LOVE IT ALREADY
but I am a bit confused is the first sentence supposed to start with just REMEMBER or I remember
omg
your descriptions are so vivid and your writing i can't even man pls you're making the rest of us look bad
AND THE ENDING OF THAT FIRST CHAPTER
IN the words of billie ray cyrus 'DON'T BREAK MY HEART' (my achy breaky heart)
this story is going to be a fkn trip but I AM SO READY FOR THE RIDE

(BETTER COMMENT IN THE FUTURE TO COME SOON!!!)

This chapter made me so sad for him. Like I just want to bundle him up and never let him go.

Aww! I almost cried. I wanna give Jaxon a hug, although he probably wouldn't even accept it :(

Did you change the names? I feel like venus's name was diffrent when this first came out but I cant remember?? It's been so loooonnngg!!

I get back on here after being gone for a year and some change and venus is still playing with my baby jax's heart?
I need her to get it together. I love this story can not wait for the next chapter.

Can I just tell you how much I love them in this chapter? They seem almost effortless together and even though I know that things are going to change and as much as I can't wait for what's coming, there's a small part of me that wishes they could stay the way they are in this chapter. Talking and just being close together. And I'm wondering if by "this", she really meant that she can't let herself get close to him because of her illness?

UGH. SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS.

As for YA suggestions, I'm going with Laurie Halse Anderson (Speak and Winter Girls). And I love anything by Jamie McGuire (Beautiful Disaster and Beautiful Oblivion are my favorites).

1. I love the layout.
2. I don't think the font is too small.
3. The songs you have at the end of each chapter are always the bomb dot com.
4. JAXON AND VENUS KISSING IN A SWING, K I S S I N G - this chapter was so cute. And yet so sad because of what's coming.

MORE SOON PLEASE.

So this heart to heart chapter is everything. I just want to hug them both.

Emmy & Oliver?! That's on my list of things to read. How good is it??

YOU'RE BACK AND THIS IS ALL SO AMAZING I HAVE NO WORDS!!

I always have a hard time commenting on your stories because I can't put into words how much I seriously adore you.

I never read this when it first came out, but I'm so so glad I'm reading it now because ugh. So good. I heard rumors (lol what?) that people don't tend to like Jaxon, but I dunno, I think he's kinda sassy and awesome.

I really love the way you write characters, it's really realistic and I feel like I could find any of those people out in the real world and they'd fit right in.

Also I'm obsessed with this layout. I can't stop looking at it.

ANYWAYS DARLING I love this and I can't wait for another update.

OMFG. I am so late.

Like, when I saw this, I'm not sure why I thought this was just another chapter? I'm a little slow, I know.

But I am so excited. I am so excited to read this again. I am giving you full responsibility to take hold of my rapidly beating heart.

There was nothing grand about a life without parents.
a) this v true
b) someone needs to plaster this on the wall of YA authors bedrooms or something, THEY NEED TO KNOW THIS

ahhhh but this was so good and i'm sooo excited to see all the new stuff and YES, I still like Jaxton. if people give him shit you know i'm gonna make a Jaxton defense squad badge for me and you

So random but I was listening to this song while reading and I actually think it fits this so well.

I don't think I read this when it first came out, but I am now and I'm excited cause. Can't wait.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS
GOD FAE WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME

YAYYYY JAXON'S PROGRESSIVELY GETTING BETTER ((((:
and Claire is such a sweetheart omg
WILL SOMETHING HAPPEN
TELL ME
I CANNOT BE IN THE DARK

OH. MY. GOD. YOU'RE BACK! You have no idea how happy I was when I saw this had been updated. Really, no idea. And this was so completely worth the wait. I just wanna give Jaxon a big hug. And shake/smack some sense into him at the same time.
