I'm not sure if the writer is covering for issues they know is there, or if they honestly think they're doing a good job.

I'm also reminded of a writer who got mad because I told him dialogue isn't bad grammar, only for them to tell me I can't end a sentence with a verb that ends in "ing", but when they had bad results with Senior AP tests for English they attempted to take it out on me. Having perfect grammar doesn't mean you're a good writer, but I think it bothers me because I am dyslexic, and know that just because I don't have perfect grammar that I'm not a bad writer.

I never heard of that rule with the whole 'don't end a sentence with 'ing' stuff'.

From the sounds of what is described above, I think that this writer genuinely believes that they are doing a good job. You get some writers that are like that, and any criticism they receive to their stories is seen as almost a personal attack on them. It's baffling to say the least, but that is my observations.

I'd heard discussion regarding not ending sentences with "ing", but the discussion was more of when or when not to use "ing" at the end, not an absolute. It's an honest writing myth. There are a bunch of other myths that these kids honestly think equates good grammar, but makes them look like fools due to the fact the sentences read unnaturally due to these myths.

Both this writer and that writer do think they're doing a good job. They've had it drummed into their heads that they're good writers because they're good at the grammar aspect, but there is more to writing than that.

I am very amused by this author's list on their profile ( ... )

Andrew's the uncle not the father? I'm glad somebody caught that, but I think that just shows how bad this one is. The story's just confusing.

I agree with you on that. This story is definitely very confusing. One point, I feel that Andrew is the father of the children, but then the next minute he is the uncle that refuses to take care of the children because they are related to the Notts. Though, how this relation is, isn't very clear, either. I mean, was the father a Nott or was the mother?

For an "artistic" fellow who has fanart, I don't see why their profile pic is just the Skyrim logo painted red and black. C'mon guy, you can't seriously be trying to sell yourself as sophisticated while possessing an edgelord name and color scheme. That's like trying to pitch makeup advice while wearing a motorcycle helmet.

To paraphrase Ron, the writer needs to sort out their priorities.

“if all goes well, she will even accept Jessica the way she is.” Augusta wasn't exactly cuddly to her orphaned grandson. Why would she pick up this random girl?

Are they animagi? The story's so poorly written and obnoxious it's hard to tell. I'm definitely getting "Marauder Wannabe" vibes from this pack of Sues.
