Eeeeh, it has a nice concept. It could do with some MASSIVE editing though: mostly spelling errors, and very, very careless grammar mistakes. It made me skim the story, which is a shame - it had some nice Teisel dialogue.
This is why you should proofread, proofread, proofread your stories. I am stranded on a laptop without Microsoft Word (and too scared to pick up a "free" writing program that supposidly can do the same functions - I am eyeing the program offered by FF.net but am sure as hell wary) and I am anal to the max, having even a friend with Word check my recent drabbles (Free-for-All topic, anyone? Hur hur.) for me over AIM. We're all entitled to a few typos here and there but careless, careless errors made in abundance can really detract.
Not knocking the author here; I believe s/he has something, but it's really unrefined and in need of a polish. Tch, Zia is welcome to talk to me if s/he is in need of a beta/editor or something.

Yeah, I wouldn't trust a program to edit stuff. That being said, even a practically perfect person such as myself on occasion forgets to check a typo or misspelling or two. Fortunately, my grammar, spelling, and punctuation are so top-notch that I don't often worry about this.
Honestly, though, the best thing to do is read over things as carefully as possible. Sometimes you finish something and you just CAN'T WAIT to post it. Grit those teeth and WAIT. Then, check it thoroughly, and maybe go through it one more time before putting it in a public forum. It'll be worth it.

It's on the site but al'ight... www.legends-station.com/fan/fic-zia01.php(Oh no. This post is too short. Must make up things to make it worthy to add to my post count!: Doorknob ankle cold, this deli is too short of the cereal box to check the tentacle crossing the womb of infinity so let us find the smurf of justice to right this herbie the flying car dingo wallaby kangaroo welcome to australia but we're sinking into a puddle of our own sorrow so we ting ting ting for the trolley, thrust our hips for the bell, because for all we know we might just be doing the time warp once again so don't beam me up, Scotty, I am taking a sh- All better. I feel more worthy now.) |
