"After the refreshing shower she got dressed and walked downstairs to the kitchen. The oven time showed that it was now 4:30, she had taken a longer shower then she thought..." She found a Dvd to watch and put it on and sat down to eat her breakfast." This is a good example of the problem with tenses. All the verbs in this paragraph are past tense, if you want them to match the feeling of the paragraphes above and below, they should be swiched to present "After the refreshing shower, she dresses and walkes downstairs to the kitchen..." And so on.
Also I wanted to adress the idea of sensoring your writing. It's ugly. "F***" looks worse in a piese of writing then "********" does, trust me. There are other, slightly more stratagic ways to do this, for instance "She swore." Or in present tense "She swears." But then again if you want your charactor to say "********" by all means, make her say "********" and don't be ashamed. The beauty of writing is that the FCC hasn't gotten to it yet.
The last critical thing I have to say is that there is alot of room for editing, not all of the sentenses are correctly constructed. Your grammar and spelling are okay in most places.
Now here's the good stuff:
Your movement is good. When your charactor runs into the burgeler (or whoever that is) it was very suspenceful, great job with that. I'm quite jeleous actually, because I have a very hard time working out fight and action scenes to be crisp and yet discriptive, and I think you captured the essence of the situation perfectly.
I have one more problem, there's not enough. Lobo seems to agree with me. wink

lol *hugs* jimmy please update ^_^
: Shram The ATG Vampire Leader The attempt shall be made. Got your first fight scene lined up for this update. AclPan: Somone already suggested that, and I opted to instead add it to the map thread. The idea is good, but I don't feel like this thread has something to offer to everyone, and in my opinion a sticky has to meet that requirement. If more people complain about it to me I'll most liely cave... sweatdrop

: Shram The ATG Vampire Leader Actually you hit the nail on the head Shram. you are the leader type, and in the story I want to make it more like without you GiRRaffE would be... just a directionless club, because god only knows that Ala and I are HUGE procrasionaters. I'll post the new section soon and we'll see if I still need to go back and rewrite your part.
