Nice story so far. I am really enjoying it. A few things I noticed: [quote]The ship started to shutter again and flames crept across her view as they entered the planets orbit.[/quote] > "planets" should be "planet's" (possessive) [quote]The guardians last know transmission location is five hundred meters to the west.[/quote] > "guardians" should be "guardian's" (possessive) > "know" should be "known" > Might be better written as: "The location of the guardian's last known transmission is 500 meters to the west." >> I believe any number from 0-10 is written out in words while anything larger is typically written numerically. >>> For example: two, three, 20, 345 >>> Of course, this could just be a preferential thing. [quote]She sprinted west through the blinding snow towards the guardians last known location and reached it in two minutes.[/quote] > Again, "guardians" should be "guardian's" (possessive) [quote]Next to a small arctic dome tent sat a couple stacked crates almost covered in snow.[/quote] > "... sat a couple stacked crates..." seems like it would flow better if it was written "... sat a couple of stacked crates..." >> Might just be me. ;)

  • That would imply a plural possessive. In this case, it was only one guardian, so "guardian's" is the proper way to write it.
