abuseOk.
You've got to continue this story. I mean, obviously you've got alot of people rooting you on, because this story is... Inspired really.
I, myself, am one of those awkward girls who never really grew up, and have no idea at all how to talk to boys, and therefore ends up embarrassing herself. Again So, yeah, this story means alot. It means that maybe somebody ordinary (ordinary?, the Cliches gasp) could, maybe, get Prince. Charming.

Um.

Please?

abuseI was quite impressed by your introduction- thought it'd make a good story but the plot is not that interesting so far. I think your female character is kinda cliched in the way she always embarrasses herself, she loves ice cream, she's casual- isn't that what we always read about? Anyway, kudos for trying, and your writing style is not bad- just try to improve on the content.

abuseHaven't you already gotten into a cliche though? You know, girl who wants to find true love but can't and thinks she's not that pretty, not that smart, doesn't have that great personality ...

Personally I think every aspect of love is a cliche. You can't avoid it - whether you embrace love, you think it's lame, you don't accept it exists, are indifferent, can't explain it - it's been done. There's nothing wrong with a cliche though - just because a story is cliche doesn't mean it's not original.

I think if your main character ends up falling in love that will be a cliche in itself. This is all personal opinion though - I'd love for you to prove me wrong!

Your story is interesting and I find it really amusing that all her friends are in these typical FP relationships. I'm looking forward to seeing how your story turns out. Please update soon!

abuseHeyi can NOT believe i hadn't stumbled into this story before. Wow it's REALLY good and incredibly realistic and hilarious so get off your butt and update!! Man you even got all the 'big' authors on ficpress to read it so you might as well write right? Not that you're not a 'big' writer but obviously you can't have TOO much reference to your stories. Anyhow story's great, hialrious and the girl isn't as typical rather she's pretty much the same as how all of us readers probably are so you've done your job well =]UPDATE!

abuseEven when it's not written eloquently, truth speaks to something within us. It's like when two old friends glance at each other and don't have to say a word-- they just know. Truth just has a purity to it that just can't be found anywhere else.

But this first chapter, prologue, dedication-- whatever you want to call it-- *is* written eloquently, and that makes it even more beautiful. It's clear, concise, and pure. It brings out a pain that occurs only when we look up at the stars at night and start to make a wish-- only to stop when that voice of reason in the back of our head scoffs and reminds us that wishing on stars won't bring us an adventure, or magic, or love.

I have a terrible feeling your story is going to make me cry-- which I can't stand, by the way-- but I'm going to keep reading because it's nice to be reminded that every other person out there wants a "Once upon a time" and a "And they all lived happily ever after," and even if *I* don't get either of those, someone else might.

abuseThank you so much for this story! Really reading this story so far has been crazy. Every time I read a story on fiction press, its for a story to help me float away, pure fairy tail floof, even if it isn't fantasy. This however is so realistic, you pretty much could have just described my entire life, its spooky. This is truly a story for real people,how people really live. I will definitely being putting you on my author alert, please update soon! PS I would like if you got into more character descriptions in your upcoming chapters, being a visual person, its hard to get the full effect of a story without knowing how anyone but a few of the minor "popular" characters look.

abuseI love it. Realism is wonderful. Love the dorky little brother thing. Personally, brothers are always dorky no matter where they are on the social scale.

lol

Anyway, I like your style it's unique and I love the attention to deal. "One of a million, not one in a million."

It's great.
