Within the Land of Liberty



Hey James Bond FANS, I got to my story finally its under Fan Fiction Posting, its called Within the Land of Liberty. It is about 2000 words so far on it, which equals 10 pages, it is in script form. I think you will like it, already there are some twists. Since QWERTY did not make me a discussion thread post your replies on here.

Thank You


Sincerely,

C-Hop 009

Due to some restrictions in that section, forum members must wait for additions to threads to be approved by a CBn Team member. You can post a new chapter, addition, etc. and then one of us will approve it as soon as possible.

I'm confused.
I clicked on the link and there appear to be three of the same posts.
Are these revisions or are you reposting what you posted before with an added chapter or section to it?

Here's a line from your story:

James Bond: Yes, Thank You. “I need to get my back to MI6 so I don’t get fired said Bond, like I care,” he muttered

1. James Bond doesn't talk like that in either the novels or films.

2. The grammer is extremely weak.

I don't mean to be rude but I think it might be better if you had somebody proofread your work before you post it. Nilles doesn't count.

There's some interesting ideas going on in there, but the execution needs some cleaning up.

The bouncing back and forth between a semi-script format and a novel format is a bit confusing -- sometimes I feel like I'm reading Ulysses all over again. The line Righty007 is a perfect example of staring in one format and then ending in a completely different. And while I'm all for not going by the rules, it does make for a confusing read.

I say really know your story beforehand, pick your format and commit to it. If you

That's not the only line that has an error. 99% of the lines have grammer issues. I can't read a story like that.

Don't feel insulted because I've never read a fan fiction story in my 4 years at CBn. I've only skimmed yours and it irritates me to see lines like this:

M: "Your bloody late, I gave you direct orders to come, you missed our meeting by 8 hours."
