Writing and Grammar... IT'S A BIG DEAL?

Description

Good morning everyone! My name it's Jungeun seongsaengnim but you may call me Jjung-ssaem, if you want. Ok, most important of all. TWO WORDS. GRAMMAR. WRITING. Yep, you love writing in AFF, don't you? For who doesn't know what AFF means, I'll explain clearly. AsianFanFics. It's simple. Ok, that's a step. I'm here to teach you, because of some weak grammars and dry writings here. You may think, Why is grammar a grave case here in AFF or Why is writing so important, everyone knows how to. NO NO NO!

Firstly, some people wrtie sentences like this: Who's the girl who Sehun will married? or Krystal loved Sehun very much, but she had to married Minho. or stuff. It is barely acceptable. And it's not just one case. We've got tones of people who write like this. And even worst. People write REALLY dryly. For example:

"Maknae-ah! You finished all the gogumas!" Sooyoung yelled.

"What's the problem of me liking gogumas?" Seohyun asked.

"You shouldn't finish the all! Unnie is hungry!" Sooyoung yelled.

Seohyun shrugged and went to her room. Sooyoung went to the fridge, looking for another snack.

Still people subscribe, by being too biased. I'm telling you: don't do this! Ok, first, don't use stuff like 'asked' and 'yelled'. You can use it, but use anothers as well. Like, 'snapped' or 'shrilled' or stuff. Second, how about their feelings? Wasn't Sooyoung frustrated by Seohyun finishing the gogumas? Or wasn't Seohyun neither satisfied with her unnie's unecessary yelling? And lastly, 'how' and 'why' it happened. These two words are usually lacking seriously. Even in POVs, people write like this:

Onew's P.O.V

I saw Minho going by the corridors, holding something. I went towards him.

"Minho-ah, what do you bring there?" I asked.

"Me, nothing. I was just coming from... huh... a conference" he answered.

I looked to his hands and saw that it was a box with chicken.

"Yah! CHICKEN?! AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!!!!" I yelled.

Ok, this is even worst than the first one. What was the feeling of Onew, by seing something on Minho's hands and his fishy air? And how did Onew feel when he discovered that Minho brought the thing he loved the most? Those little details are all completly necessary. Don't write dry things like this. Grammatic errors have a certain limit too. I can't support those grammatic errors, althought I'm not a professional. I'm still a typo.

After this long introduction of how grammatic errors and dry writings are prejudicial, let's just go forward. We've got lots of units to learn and I'll start byy grammar, which, for me, it's a huge trouble here. Ok, see ya soon!

Your future guru

Chapter 1: I have to make a few corrections here. First of all you used the wrong word. It's "lose" not "loose". A lot of people make that mistake, even English speakers. Also, what do you mean when you use the word decorate? There's nothing wrong with this sentence: "Jiyeon is JB's boyfriend but he usually gets angry by his boyfriend's cheating. Later, he met Jinwoon." It just sounds like a gay love story. Unless one of them is a girl then your correction would apply. Otherwise, I fail to see how. I do think it's great that you're doing this though. There's too many people out there who are putting out stories with bad grammar and it can be a pain to read. Some people do know how to correct there stuff but they always say they were "too lazy". It's really annoying.

Chapter 2: I have this problem too. I have like a vocabulary of a 5 year old. This odd things though, only occurs when I'm writing. When I'm not, there's like a gazillion idea and words in my mind. Glad that I found this! Update soon author-nim!
