Simon Slaughters,

This story would be Marked for Review based on just your use of English.

Your story is better than 84% of material submitted to Grammarly, which doesn't say much. You have sixteen grammar errors that it picked up, as well as four punctuation errors and six spelling errors. You also have many "Premium alerts errors."



Fixing these isn't "picky." It's a requirement. The last story I submitted to the Wiki had two "Word Choice" premium alerts. No draft had more errors than three word choices on that one. That's typical. Often I get the story completely clean - and then the people here are kind enough to pick up all the plot, physical reality, dialogue, etc. errors that I make.
