Well, CG, you have quite an imagination. But the lack of detail (background detail, character detail, feelings, thoughts) made this very hard to follow. Is "Lord Grievous" supposed to be the character from Revenge of the Sith? If not, think of something more original. Also, you need to work on your paragraphing.

Details, details, details. They would go a long way towards improving your writing--and it is a shame to waste such a good imagination Very Happy

I apologise for Black Titan, it would seem he is a nonproductive dick Razz

I agree with Chuck, details and pace is important.

BEEF IT UP AND SLOW IT DOWN! Very Happy

Remember that and you'll go far.

Dude, i know u want to b creative, but u already have Star Wars in this, why did u put in Orks from Warhammer 40K too? Confused

And also, weren't the brutes moving the grunts at gunpoint a few stories ago????

- Hey, didn't we tell you about the code?

The code, you should know it by now, okay?

Your settings are backdropped. You're going to need to show us them. Not tell us them. Stop using Locator captions. They're backdropping you, and that's preventing us from seeing.

And remember, not to break character. Covies do not say 'sir.' They seem too human. Be sure to capture their characters and use them right, otherwise, that's breaking character.

And, about the "To Be Continued," That's the biggest cliche. We know it's a series, we'll see it. Overuse of TBC will breed the feeling of, 'Man, when will this end?" and other feelings.

Keep going, and keep practicing, and remember: Don't break character, don't use locators or TBCs, and remember the code.
