Please, rip apart my Story.
« on: January 20, 2006, 01:40:37 pm »
Please, do me a favor, and rip my story to shreds. I posted Chapter one here:
http://forums.g33xnexus.com/index.php/topic,267

I want to get this ready to be sent to an editor.. and I need to make sure that it works. I want people to be mean, nasty, and edit the hell out of it. Tell me if I need to move sections around, remove sections, rewrod things. Tell me what's confusing, or doesn't flow. Tell me what holds your attention, and what makes you want to stop reading because it's boring. Please look over it with a harsh eye. Thanks!

When Caenus enters the story, don't use the name nearly as often.  Pronouns are your friend.

For all we ought to have thought, and have not thought; all we ought to have said, and have not said; all we ought to have done, and have not done; I pray thee God for forgiveness.

I use too many proper nouns. It's a bad habit.

It's okay, I do it too.

At least you didn't say "It's okay, Caenus does it too."

Then we'd either have to drug you or shoot you. I'd vote for the latter, personally, but either one works for me.

Heh, I contemplated it.

Eh, I've been shot before - I'll take the drugs.
