    Re: The Chronicles of A Marine

    It's definitely an improvement over the first couple of "chapters" but...

    It still feels unpolished and stilted. Your choice of diction is a little tiresome and sometimes awkward. I'm not saying that you should thesaurus every second word but you do need to make sure that you are following proper sentence structure rules when writing your lines that are not parts of a conversation.

    Re: The Chronicles of A Marine

    If you use more full stops and puntuation, you will be able to imply a better sense of fear, as your characters will stop, start, stop, start etc. It will also vary, some of your writing.

    But other wise keep up the good work :p

    I dunno bro. I have more or less of the same criticisms as before. As for him working out with spartans when he's fresh out of bootcamp... I have trouble digesting that.

    I'm not really into buff chicks... naked or not.

     

    Far be it from me to try and make this into something other than what you want it to be, but when it comes to Halo and space operas in general, I prefer them to be grounded in a more realism-oriented world, and that fantastic coincidence just detracts from my sense of realism while reading your FF.

    Re: The Chronicles of A Marine

    One of the better FF's on this site, in my opinion. I really like where this is going.

    Re: The Chronicles of A Marine

    Spartan R41:

    I feel it's only fair to be honest; I'm having a hard time getting into this. A full review would take a very long time for me, but a few things that push me away are:

    • I feel the story moves too fast, with not enough character development.
    • Lines seem cliche and day-time drama.
    • Emotions are dry

    If you would like, I could try to Beta this for you. I'm not saying give up, I'm saying keep trying. It is hard to write without creating a Mary Sue or Johnny Perfect - though Twilight seemed to pull it off well.

    And you know this, HOW, Mr. R41?...

    =)
