I've been helping friend writers for a long time now (2 years at least) and, as far as I know, their writing has improved a lot, not because of little details as where do commas go, but because of tips about the plot, or the characters, or the action itself. I like to receive the files in Word and I will make changes in a different color and add little notes everywhere I think I should. The writer may or may not take my advise as they please.

My strength is the plot and the characters. I can also help with description and making the reader want to keep going. I'm not the best speller ever, but I'm pretty good with words - I'm not a spell checker, and most of those mistakes won't even catch my eye while reading.

Spell Checking. I'm not the best speller every, and most of the time I'll read too fast to really look at the words.

I prefer stories that have been thought through rather than really short stories that are just something someone wrote one afternoon because they were bored.

Really short stories that make no sense at all or that have no point to them. I also dislike really futuristic stuff.
