May I post chapters of my story on this board, so that you all can tell me if it makes sense?

One phrase that seems jarringly odd is in the first paragraph.   :dunno
Quote
He played the did every time his parents

Minor formatting note:  The three times that "UNE" appears in the body text, it has a dotted underline. (spellcheck marking?)  The two times where it appears in "screencap" text boxes, it does not.

The rest of the excerpt appears to be solidly written from grammatical, technical, formatting, and dramatic perspectives.   :cheers:

That is a straight-up goof.  I'm usually writing this late at night

Actually, that is a leftover by the way this story is being written; the dotted line is from an <abbr> element (yes, I code HTML by hand).  I'll fix it in the CSS sheet (yes, I'm doing these as webpages turned into PDFs)


Okay, I think I got the issues fixed.  :)
