I saw a H50 fic mentioned on tumblr, and thought I’d check it out. It’s called, “Five Times it Didn’t Count (and One it Totally Did)“. Yes, the concept is pretty cute. And I’m a sucker for kidfic – and this one starts out with Gracie, so yeah, it’s cute.
But there’s something about the dialogue of this fic. It’s like it’s written by Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. There’re no contractions in it. At first it was a little off, but the more I read, the more it bugs me.
A little help from a beta – especially one good with dialogue, would help a great deal. Also, words like “bedroom” are just that – bedroom and not “bed room”.
