jgeorge, you may not feel comfortable about commenting on grammar, spelling, punctuation, but I certainly would value your comments on if the story is clear, delivers its message, is understandable, touches you in some way, etc. There is feedback one can give on the mechanics, but probably more important to many of us is whether or not we reached our reader. :) I have a great reluctance to provide feedback because I know there are stylistic differences between writers and I might not structure a story the same way as someone else would (and we both have valid reasons for making the choices we make). It really helps me when someone asks for help on something specific, like Shanna asked about dialogue. That shows me that's an area she feels less comfortable with and is open to suggestions about. Maybe that's just me. I'm not here to hurt anyone's feelings and I'm not any great critic so any feedback I give should be taken as just a mild comment from a single reader that may be safely ignored.
