GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know I was pretty cranky (a few days back) about not getting enough reviews, but now my Reviews Page has grown, so I'm back to normal again. However, writing fanfiction or not, I've found 4 great friends-- Vea, Anokam, Guesswork and Cherrichik. I'm quite elated with my "fantabulous" luck.
Well, here's another bit of my rant.
I was told by 2 people that they had spotted Grammar and spelling mistakes in my fic.
I was devastated. Grammar and spelling mistakes are quite unpardonable, and I've been brought up in a family of very strict English teachers.
I decided I would leave no stone unturned in detecting & rectifying my mistakes. It became a sort of obsession with me, because I'd like to strive for perfection-ism. Thank you very much.
Here's the cleansing procedure my fic( 6 chapters long)in MS Word underwent:
#1)The internal Auto Correction Program of MS Word, which I think is pretty comprehensive.
#2)My Beta-cum-friend Olivia, who has a very sharp eye
#3)Grammatica Track Errors Software
#4)Grammar Slammer software
Erm, here are the results:
a) No spelling mistakes. Nope. None at all.(Thank God!)
b) No tense or sentence-stucture mistakes.
c) About 10 errors in placing the punctuation marks in a total of MS Word 180 pages, such as a missing comma, no space blank between two (and only two!) words....
Now, I'm not sure if the last result was the cause of such reviews.
Here, read one of them:
"....Just a tip but try to reread it. Found alot of grammer mistakes.....UPDATE SOON!"
Yeah, I read it a total of 5 times. B/c of a tip from a reviewer who doesn't know how to spell "grammar" (and not "grammer") correctly. And who doesn't even care for the syntax of her/his own review.
Maybe, I'll have to ask the Readers of my 7th chapter to spot my mistakes out from me! Because I'm still completely at sea.
