"Skyfire Ablaze" This was very different from "Wendy's wish" and I got a little lost between parts one and two –maybe because I have never played Everquest. I didn't have any trouble picturing things so you must have done a good job with descriptions. Recommendations: 1. Break up those run-on sentences. Examples: " This must have been an incarnation directly from hell {c;red}(insert , ) for although severly wounded, and clearly on it's last instances of life (insert , ) it still took a severe beating of several minutes for me to finally get it's attention(change , to a period) (capitalize A )as it stood there clawing at me from what seemed every direction, I noticed my own fatigue and health dropping dramatically (change , to a period) I evaded his blows with a well timed Feigning, a skill that monks learn early in theier lives (change , to – ) and that has saved mine countless times (change , to – ) this time it worked quite well (change , to a period) (delete "for" and capitalize T) the monstrous encarnation left my limp body and co(insert n )tinued it's p(change e to u )rsuit of the now rested wolf." 2. Check for typos that the spell check missed. See above for some of them. 3. Be sure to follow rule 11 in Strunk and White's elements of style (word order) "A participle phrase at the beginning of a sentence must refer to the grammatical subject" Example: " ,as it's corpse toppled to the rocky ground the druid thanked me, and exclaimed that for my actions, I would be rewarded with that (insert "for") which I searched." This sounds as if it was the druid's body that toppled to the rocky ground. (I made this it's own sentence –the part before the comma should have been a separate sentence also.) 4. Punctuation and word choice suggestions: " With a casting of what seemed (insert – )to my arcanly ignorant eyes(change , to –) a very powerful spell, a swarm seemed to appear out of around the wolf and engulf the lavawalker. The beast had no recourse as it swatted the air(change , to ; ) it's health was quickly diminishing and as it started to flee from the deadly swarm (change , to a period) I jumped up from my trance-like state of death, and continued to (change "instill" to "inflict") damaging blows of fury." ¡ahah! It was driving me crazy –instill just didn't sound right to me and I couldn't think of the word I wanted until just now: inflict ( To give, cause, or produce by striking). " (delete As )(capitalize W) we sat there looking over the horizon, both regenerating(change , to a period) (capitalize A)although he was not of my kind, we(rewording: had a simple understanding of how we had helped each other) (delete "sat and simply had an understanding of each others help.")" This was a fun read and it is nice to see that you handle different genres so well. Sunni17 |
