To quote Ms. Gracie:
"Gracie
Well....this isn't a bad story. You need a new beta...probably someone with a basic understanding of the English language and sentence structure. There are many grammatical errors and that made it difficult to read the fic. I would recommend writing it in Microsoft Word and using the spell check. I would also recommend getting a better beta reader that will read the story more than once and fix what needs to be fixed.
From an entertainment standpoint, your writing is okay...but technically, I find it hard to take it seriously.
That is just my opinion though. Definitely keep at it. This fic is worth finishing if only to give you more experience.
But seriously....get a new beta"
As Bellgirl's beta, I would like you to provide me with examples of your so called grammatical errors. Ms. Bellgirl writes all her works in MS Word and I perform all editing services in MS Word and use my training garnered while obtaining my degree in English as basis for my corrections and edits. As such, I would like you to provide me with a few examples of these errors so I may correct them and make sure not to overlook them again. I do find it unlikely that you will do so for as far as I can tell there are no errors in grammar and therefore would like you to back up your accusations with facts. I trust that you have an English degree as well and have been published in a major publication as I have and therefore will provide the requested information promptly. Please take notice that what I believe you are referring to is the sentence construction of Ms. Bellgirl's story and her manner of presenting the story. While everyone likes a different way of telling a story, the grammar is in fact correct though you may not like the way the story flows. Some people don't like the works of Picasso, and some adore it. Sentence construction is what differentiates authors and makes them unique. If everyone wrote the same way, think of how dull it would be.
Since you feel I need to be replaced, please provide your email so as we may use your most excellent skills as a Beta in the future.
P.S. To Ms. Bellgirl: I enjoy the story!
Cheers

I love your story and should have reviewed before but I was too anxious to know what happened next. The only real reason I'm reviewing right now instaed of seeing what happens next is... Valmont? As in... Sebastian? Please say yes because honestly that would make me love you story about 100 times more. To know that you (the writer) were also a Cruel Intentions fan. As I am a huge one. Actually the only stories I've ever written were about Cruel Intentions. Well not the only stories but the only posted fanfics. Hah ok though so I think that's enough rambling for one chapter. On to the next.
