Dialogue is written as “Hello,” she said or “Hello!” she said, never “Hello.” She said or “Hello.” she said or “Hello,” She said or “Hello” she said. The only exception to this is if the next sentence doesn’t contain a speech verb, which is a verb describing how the dialogue is said. In that case it’s written as “Hello.” She grinned, never “Hello,” she grinned or “Hello,” She grinned or “Hello.” she grinned. Note that something isn’t a speech verb just because it’s a sound you make with your mouth, so generally stuff like laughed or giggled is in the second category. Furthermore, if you’re breaking up two complete sentences it’s “Hi,” she said. “This is it.” not “Hi,” she said, “this is it.” or “Hi,” she said “this is it.” And if you’re breaking up a sentence in the middle, it’s “Hi. This,” she said, “is it.” The same punctuation and capitalization rules apply to thoughts, except you don’t use quotation marks with thoughts.

Semicolons do not indicate sophisticated or intelligent writing, even when grammatically correct. Use sentence-connecting semicolons sparingly, judiciously, and only when the ideas in the clauses are inseparable. If you have a semicolon sitting between a pair of sentences because the sentences are kind of, sort of related, it just makes you look pretentious.

[ the only thing that I never could understand was the Trainer’s name, always being too garbled to hear correctly. But the other details were just so… real. It was like I actually was the Trainer,  ]

So, since this is a real-world fic, you get a different capitalization talk than normal. Pokemon and related are copyrighted/brand names in our universe, so you capitalize to indicate they’re intellectual property rather than real creatures. Trainer, not so much. The games capitalize it, but the games capitalize doctor, they’re not a good guide to correct writing.

[Dreams are dangerous, for one can stay stuck in a dream they can never wake up from. It’s happened before. One of our own loved the dreams so much that he wanted to sleep all the time. He eventually disappeared, we all know what happened afterwards. Really, the dreams must have favored him because he wanted to be a hero just like them. Like that will ever happen, we live in a time of peace.]

Um, they live in a time of dangerous addictive dreams that sometimes make people stay asleep until they die. You seem to be referring to the punch-obvious-problem style of hero, but there’s definitely a problem in their world that needs someone to do something about it.

I like the idea of this, though I’d like it a lot more if you were going somewhere with it rather than the whole story just being that sometimes people dream of past things but it doesn’t actually matter.

Added it to my community mostly because of the idea of mystery addictive dreams and the refrain that there’s no need for heroes seems like such a good setup.

[Tabitha rummaged inside the desk for a matchbox and lit a droopy candle on the cluttered shelf for a light source. The wick was nearly gone—he’d have to remember to buy a replacement tomorrow and, as inconvenient as that was, it was still cheaper than paying for the lights.  ]

[His parents divorced on the 13th of Febuary when his mom had returned after disappearing unexpectedly for three months. His father just wouldn’t tolerate having that kind of a role model affecting David. He broke up their marriage for the sake of his son.
Shaun, David’s father, won custody for the child and afterwards appplied for a restraining order on his wife. One month later, Pauline, David’s mother, died in a hospital due to heart failure. Shaun had not known before, but apparently Pauline just could not live without her son.
Shaun never truly forgave himself for the death of Pauline. No matter how much his friends and family tried to assure him that it wasn’t his fault, he never listened. He believed that he was the reason why David’s mother was dead.]

That all sounds bizarre. It’s weird a husband’s main thought would be divorcing his wife rather than, say, being terrified of what might’ve happened to her. It’s really weird anyone would think divorce would help a kid. It makes no sense anyone would grant a restraining order. And it’s outright insane that anyone let alone everyone would then tell him the death wasn’t his fault when it totally and obviously was his fault there.

[Every night he cried with the death of another human haunting his conscience. However, no matter how guilty he felt, he promised himself to raise David to be a good person. He shielded his feelings from his son, and David never knew of how deeply his dad was emotionally cut. ]

Also, not only would a kid notice one parent is depressed, they’d probably notice the other one was, you know, dead. David is either an idiot or a sociopath, and honestly, I’d assume better of most idiots.

[He died a weak later in a coma, finally relieved by his inexistant conscious burden. ]

Week, spellcheck, and no idea what precisely you meant by the last bit.

[Everytime he asked, his grandparents would just tell him that his parents died attempting to save David’s life. ]

I like the idea of this, but the long timeperiod it takes place in makes the way the narrator speaks like a child throughout seem weird.
