AI Thread Summary
A user shared a link to their fiction writing on Physicsforums, seeking feedback from the community. They specifically requested that readers ignore stories under the "Dead Men" header, as they consider those less impressive. Feedback included a comparison of the writing style to Kafka and Theodore Sturgeon, noting a blend of literary and comic book elements. However, significant criticism was directed at the grammar, emphasizing that improvements in language mechanics are essential for gaining credibility in the publishing industry. A request for specific examples of the grammatical issues was made to facilitate constructive feedback.

Your prose seems somewhat reminiscent of Kafka... or maybe Theodore Sturgeon... mixed with certain element of comic book action. However, I strongly criticize your atrocious grammar. Seriously, your ideas seem original, but you will need to make vast improvements in the area of language mechanics if you ever want to be taken seriously by the publishing industry.

This is news to me. Could you possibly be a bit more specific/give examples?
