Advice concerning grammatical errors and other fanfic matters.


 * Do not get me started on how bad grammar can really put me off. To anyone who is writing, if you are currently in high school, college, or working, you shouldn't be having such poor grammar. Bad grammar would have gotten you a low grade on a paper; I've seen it happen to others and I recommend that you practice your writing skills to make your stories and papers more professionally polished and understandable.
 * Get a beta reader and have them look over your work and let them give you a critique and/or advice on how to make your story stronger and potentially a good read for your readers.
 * Read and proof-read your stories for any grammar mistakes and poor sentence structure. When found, please correct them and read them over again for correctness. Also, look to printed stories or highly reviewed stories on here or more particularly fanfiction.net and look at the more highly reviewed stories for their sentence structures and ask questions about how the author structured their sentences and how to put together your story ideas into a cohesive written form.
 * Do not plagarize. That is a bad form of behavior and disrespects those writers who put a great effort into their work for their readers/fans. That is unacceptable of a writer and is not tolerated in any situation

Take what you will of what I say. It may be my opinion, but there are others who probably have the same opinion as I do. Till next time, cheers :)
