Re: Riddled with Lies
I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed the prologue. It seemed really normal 'til the end. Then it just got really trippy and crazy. I can't wait to see why his mom turned out to be a Gardevoir!
But, I did notice a few things that kind of irked me. Just a few words that were capitalized that shouldn't have been.
- Sun (It's only capitalized when naming other planets/celestial bodies in the same sentence. This applies to any other planet, like earth.)
- Dining Room (Names of common types of rooms usually aren't capitalized)
- Kitchen (Same as above)
- Human (Usually species are in lowercase. Except for Pokemon, although some people change this rule in fan fiction, which is usually just writer's preference.)
- Mother (I had a hard time with this one, too. When using it as a substitute for a person's name, it's supposed to be capitalized. If you're simply referencing your relationship to the person, leave it lowercase.
So something like this would be capitalized: I wonder when Mother is going to get back.
However, something like this wouldn't be: My mother is in her mid-thirties.)
It's not that I'm trying to be mean and nitpick, but I just want your story to look better, because I really am enjoying it. I look forward to Chapter One!
