User blog:Zaffie/Considering Strange Paths...

Yeah, so, the blog title might not be ENTIRELY accurate, but, what can I say? I was trying to rival Leppy in awesome blog names. (she still wins)

Basically, I decided that I want to read and comment on (in a deep and meaningful manner, of course) more stories. But, I hit a pothole while trying to do this. The problem is... gee-whizbang, there's some Various-Deity-Awful grammar out there. Now, I'm not trying to blame anybody... just cos I automatically edit my work as I write it and freak out if I realise I've put a comma in the wrong place, doesn't mean everybody feels the same way. And being bad at spelling and grammar doesn't make you a bad person! Flaming-Place-Below-Ground, one of my close friends couldn't spell even if someone was placing the noose around her neck!

So, I thought, in the spirit of trying to get me to read and comment more, I would offer to grammar-check some people's work! If you KNOW that your grammar isn't... top-notch, and you DO want Zaffie to read it without spontaneously combusting (gosh-darn-it) then you can place your story below! I will spell and grammar check it, and read it while I am doing it! Then, when I'm done, I will be able to post deep and meaningful comments below that do not involve the three words: 'spontaneous', 'combustion', or 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggghhhhhhh!'.

Now, personally, I think this is a marvellous idea, but, sadly, as I realised when I was two and a half, not everybody in the world is me. (I'm still exploring some cloning avenues, though...) So, if you find it offensive, or like to have awful spelling and grammar in your stories, you can simply not ask me to correct them, and I won't!

Isn't that a pip?
