I won't write...much. I just want to review. I am a relentless grammarian and a punctuation and spelling snob. More than three typos including extra apostrophes will turn a great story into a terrible one for me. There've been a couple of exceptions made because of excellent plot, but for the most part, I am painstakingly critical. I try not to leave negative feedback unless the story is just too good to be lost to bad editing.
I'm a proud and dedicated Doctor/Rose shipper...I can fight it no longer. But I do love a good bit of slash for fun--and I'll enjoy anything that's well written enough for me to be captivated.
Please to note:
To lose something is to have misplaced it.
To loose something is to set it free.
If one has a small piece of fabric, one might call it a cloth. If one had two or more of those objects, they would be referred to as cloths.
This is in comparison to a pile of folded laundry, which might also be called clothes.
If an object belongs to a person, place, or thing, that possessive relationship is shown with an apostrophe. The Doctor's glasses, Rose's cell phone, Pete's comb-over, Four's scarf, etc.
It's is a contraction for it is.
Its is the exception to the possesion rule above. The word, "it" loves its apostrophe when it's a contraction.
There are so many more. Employ spell-checkers wisely. Really read what you've written.
And by all means, mock me mercilessly for my snobbery behind my back.
That is all :-D |
