I'm just not a buffy fan. If you served me a Vegan dinner, you would have gotten much the same reaction. Not your fault.<P>The spelling and grammar, however, are important. It pays to take your work to someone who's never seen it and have them look it over. It's amazing how the perfect story in your mind can get garbled betwixt thought and presentation.<P>Grit your teeth, bare your chest, and let them start stabbing. It only hurts for a little while, until you realize it's only scratches. It'll improve your writing a lot, once you learn not to take it personally. If you didn't take it personally, good for you! It took me a little while to get to that stage.<P>Constructive criticism is very important to writing.
