If you want comments, you should enable the copy feature.  This permits the reviewer to offer examples from the text of the problem she is discussing. 

========

I live in California and I tend to use American grammatical conventions; yes, some British style/vocabulary creeps in but often I'm not consciously inserting them.

I cannot enjoy poorly written, ungrammatical text.  I tend to give a story a chance, and if I wince too often, I stop reading it. 

So since I can make no sense of the rating and reviewing systems, I just review on a chapter by chapter basis.  No stars, just comments. 

"...read some published novels, and try telling me you don't see them use some of the same comma placement and capitalization..."  -- I do see that, but I don't accept them, nor am I likely to imitate such practices.  Publishing firms don't have grammar books:  they have style books.  The purpose of a style book is conformity, not correctness.   The Chicago Manual of Style is a good example.  Grammar books offer advice on --yes-- grammar..  Failing your own copy of Eats Shoots and Leaves or The Transitive Vampire or Woe is I  there are some on-line sites.  The Purdue OWL is one.  For specific topics check out:  http://absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?133858-Dialog-Punctuation-and-Capitalization  under Syntax and Grammar; Brians Errors is an amusing site.    And of course, there is the lemming comment:  Just because X does Y doesn't mean you should. 

Hello everybodiez!

I've been writing stories since before I could spell properly.

I know I'm not very good at it but I'm addicted and stuck in the world of writing and drawing.

Callie Cameron (my main character) has been my constant companion for about... twelve years now so i decided to share her with the world!

I do take suggestions and (nice) critiques. I need all the help i can get! So don't be afraid to let me know how i can improve!

Laterz!

Okay, I AM willing to read other people's stories on these conditions:

No profanity/ strong language. No massive violence. No Sci-fi (because i just DON"T understand it)

There can be romance as long as it's CLEAN. Also, nothing with Vampires, Warewolves, Witches, Sorcerers.... i think you get the gist :)

So, anyhoo...

I hope you enjoy my stories! I am the amateur of all amateurs, but i hope to improve!

If you're into Fanfiction, I am also on Fanfiction.net. Same penname: Keelykelly :)

Laterz!

I'm Benjamin Dine. I am a writer as a hobby. I usually like to write either stories or poems and came here to get a fresh start.

I am a Kent State University graduate with a Bachelor's in Sociology.
Nowadays, I have become a member of the Canton Writer's Guild.

Some of the genres I like are fantasy, primarily. But I can take mild horror (if it's only a part of the story and not the main story) and science fiction. And I am an anime/manga fan too. I do make some satire and social commentary, so just be aware in case something like that shows up. I also have a tendency of being pious.
I have Asperger's Syndrome and have met the challenges that it faces.

Ultimately, I am to write in the fantasy genre as my primary genre.

My stuff can also be viewed on Fictionpress.com and Fanfiction.net.
It is under the pen name: B. J. Williams

I hope to be reviewed and commented on in the future with my works. I'll try my best to be just and fair when judging.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. I'll be happy to answer questions.
