It's ok for a MC death story. It still doesn't compare to "the fall of the covenant and the death of a hero" story, submited some months ago.

Hey! Red Bull is ok..if you wanna taste Oblivion, drink Pepsi Blue. GAH! We had a LAN party and out of 18 people, they all brought Pepsi Blue. It was a nightmare. I wanted to shoot myself...

I''m not a regular, but I will go nuts on you, Jeff.

NUTS! NUTS!!! NUTS!!!!

Touching to the last, but the grammar and spelling hold back whatever goes.

OK! Now that I'm reading YOUR story, I'll point out the wrong stuff.

1. When you indent, italicize, and bolden your text in your word-editing program, it doesn't carry over to your FF. That's why you proofread and check for mistakes. To do the things above, do this:

to italicize a block of text, put [i] before the block, and [/i] to end it. To bolden, do [b], [/b], and underlining is [u], [/u].

Indenting helps seperate paragraphs. To put an indent, put a [indent] where you want it to show up.

Finally, for a horizontal rule, put [hr] between two paragraphs. A horizontal rule usually shows a change in time, place, or other major switch in the story.

Yeah, there's the code. Use it, or the regulars go nuts on you.

Some uncapitalized words, missed punctuation, and mispellings. A few sentences seemed short and choppy, too.

Hunters come in pairs only, not three at once. And when you typed that, type out the whole word (two) instead of just the number (2).

Also, capitalize Covenant races. Instead of grunts, its Grunts, elites are Elites, etc. Ditto goes for Marines!

And the MC died. Not a normal story, but still, interesting plot.

An....interesting...plot, but mispellings, grammatical errors, run-on sentences, and mispunctuation held the story back from flowing smoothly.

Not bad. Interesting that someone chose to kill off the MC, but I find it a little difficult to believe that he couldn't escape from that.
