Hey. I'm going to be totally honest right now and give you everything that is on my mind when I read your fanfiction. It is illiterate. Your commas and period’s are all messed up and it makes your sentences and your stories all-together look really unintelligent. Plus, if you have trouble spelling you should type your chapters up on a Microsoft document first so that the computer can sort out your spelling errors.
I’m sorry if this is harsh to you and I hope you don’t take it to heart, but I know that it really bugs some people (me included) when there are grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes. I know call me the “Literature police,” but if you want to make your stories more formal you should really take my advice.

okay i know my spelling and punctuation sucks. I'm doing this all on ficwad because my computer is a different format than ficwad and changes all my punctuation into codes. I'm trying to improve it and if it will make you happy, review my chapters at a different location and repost them.
Also, If you're not trying to sound too harsh, then you shouldn't call someones story unintelligent.

Okay, chill. I wasn't trying to insult you, I'm trying to help you. I'm almost positive that I'm not the only one who thinks that, I'm just being more honest and forthcoming than others. Oh and if your computers format changes it into codes than you can just go on Dictionary.com and see if you spelled things right. Plus, you could fix your punctuation if you tried. You don't need a computer to tell you to put a space in between the comma and the word after it.

I wasn't being defensive. I was just saying that if you don't want to sound too harsh then you shouldn't tell someone their story seems " unintellegent".
And what I mean by changing things into codes is when I update it from a word document to check all my spelling and such, It takes me almost an hour to retype every period, comma , and punctuation mark.
As for not having a computer tell me what to do, I have my friend Morgan. She already brought that to my attention and I've been trying to work on it.
Don't be so critical of someone elses work when you have not made yourself that vulnerable to criticism.
Normally I wouldn't be so annoyed with someones comment, But someone before you had already mentioned it to me and I said I would work on it.
That is why this has been updated without a new chapter, because of the editing I have been doing.

Why does my criticism have anything to do with anyhing I write? I have read plenty of good novels and fanfics, I know when someone is having trouble with certain things. If it makes you happy, I'll write something.
Oh and being defensive is exactly what you're doing, explaining your reasoning to make yourself look better is called being defensive.
Also I'm sorry I don't read all the reviews on here. I didn't know someone else told you about it in another review and if I had saw that review then I probably wouldn't have put up this review. I honestly didn't read that review, but you didn't really acknowledge it because from this chapter you didn't listen.

I apperciate you're criticism and I think that if you had had phrased your criticism in a different way then I wouldn't have taken it as harsely. If you decide to criticise someone elses writing, then you might want to be a little more sensitive about it. From my point of view it seemed a bit rude.
Also I have to to admit, yuor fic was very good.
