Hi Doug.  I'm sorry, I won't comment on grammar or anything like that =
again.  I mean, who needs grammar when you have a good story?  Who needs =
to tell jokes? As long as the story is good.  Who cares if someone =
messes up a use of the language?  At least it's funny, and I'm sure =
he/she didn't know it was used a certain way.  From now on, I will talk =
about the story perspective of the fic.  No more boring, we-don't-need =
mechanics crap.  I mean, if the story is extremely good, who needs to =
know how to write a sentence?

>From the way your reply reads, my initial thought was that it was a 
polite/sarcastic theme trying to make your point. Well I am going to guess 
that you meant what you said (not everyone can word it like a diplomat).

You went overboard with your repentment. Here is my list of 'most important 
qualities in an author'

1. Origional story. 
2. Good character usage. Staying 'on character' as much as possible.
3. Comedy usage (for Ranma 1/2, at least)
4. Grammar (So long as it is understandable.)
