Oh, don't get me started on the whole grammar thing.
There's stories that have style issues that I can't handle, too. I can handle a certain amount of bad grammar etc...
...less, now that I actually spend most of my time teaching grammar and proper English spelling to students.
It could have the greatest story idea on the planet, but if the grammar's bad and the style is just awful there's no way I'm going to read it.
I used to love the smurfs (I'm not sure which version I saw. Australia seems to have a love affair with American stuff, though, especially back in teh 80's, so I probably saw the American version if there was one)...haven't watched it since I was a little girl, though. And Captain Planet used to just send me into hysterical giggles whenever I watched it ^_______^.
Ooooh...chapter 7 *grins*.
Your offer for idea/character bouncing/tossing is open on this end, too. Ever want someone to bounce stuff off I'll have an open ear.
