Status: to old to be writing fanfiction, but I still do -.-;;

I can write but my typing is horrendous. So while I try to double check at times I am a bit lazy.

Pet Peeves:

It’s FOLLOW not FALLOW people!

FALLOW has the following definitions

(def 1) to plow, harrow, and break up (land) without seeding. To destroy weeds and conserve soil moisture (def 2) of a light yellowish-brown color

FOLLOW (note the two “O’s” ) is the word you most likely are looking for. Follow means

1 to go, proceed, or come after followed the guide
2 a to engage in as a calling or way of life : PURSUE wheat-growing is generally followed here b to walk or proceed along follow a path
3 a to be or act in accordance with follow directions b to accept as authority : OBEY followed his conscience
4 a to pursue in an effort to overtake b to seek to attain follow knowledge
5 to come into existence or take place as a result or consequence of disaster followed the blunder
6 a to come or take place after in time, sequence, or order (e.g. followed dinner with a liqueur)
7 to copy after : IMITATE

Therefore, you most likely should use follow when any confusion arises. Unless you character is gardening or has yellow brown hair or eyes or whatever.
