One definete way you could improve would be making use of the BBformatting code. Get it here: http://hboff.bungie.org/viewtopic.php?t=2785
As for the story, it was a good read. Or it could have been if not for the grammatical errors. Stuff like this:
| Quote: | | The Spartan stopped flexing his right hand and tilted his head to the side. His V-shaped black visor hiding his face. |
His black visor hiding his face-wha--? Maybe that first period should have been a comma,
"...tilted his head to the side, his V-shaped black visor hiding his face."
| Quote: | | "So umm now what?" |
"So, umm, now what?"
And the use of numbers.
Little errors like this end up costing you; big time. The way to get through 'em? Proofread. Proofread your stories to death, and don't worry about being late. It takes four months for me to get a story out, and besides, if you want people to get attached to your writing and enjoy it, then know how to cater to your audience.
Also, you'll go much farther if you respond to your comments; it'll help, and people often give better advice to people that sign on.
Most importantly, have fun.

| Thanks both of y'all. Sorry but grammer isn't one of my strong points. I just hope that everyone enjoys the story. This whole thing was just a "spur of the moment" type of deal. Anyway... |
