A lot of formatting issues out of the shoot including the Title Page.
No need ti number scene headings
You simply can't do stuff like this:
Quoted Text (Note: Actions take place as the narrator describes the scenes that are going to happen.) |
You have to describe the actual actions

Yep, what Dave said re formatting, really all over the place. Have a little look around the site and try to copy the formatting methods from others, and integrate them into the work.
As a quick aside, you nearly went a little bit Scottish there Dave:

However, we prefer it to be "tae", which can add vague amounts of humour or confusion to a sentence. It can also be used in a threatening manner too (Billy Connolly's quite good at it), as in "get tae f..." and so on.
Anyway, I digress, keep at it Ventenilla, best of luck,

Yep, historically we did get about the world a fair bit so there's always a chance! Only one hitch I can see, your name would have to to be less eldave and more McDave.

Hi Farrah,
This was difficult to get through because of the formatting etc, but I really liked the premise and the depth to it. I could see you put a lot of thought into this and that shows.
