Fear me! I am the angsty one, well not really. I'm a jaded 24 yr oldfan of Harry Potter ((Damn you book six! Damn you!)I like writing and I love reading. I have a tendency to write short and moody pieces due to my lack of time and attention to follow any one story for a long period of time. Having read fanfiction for a while, and seeing the problems I've had in my own work, I tend to be a critical reviewer at times. If you see one line or three paragraphs in your review box, please don't take that as an offense. If I can verbalize why I like or am bothered by something I like to let you guys now. Sometimes though, I'm not exactly certain of what to say so I reserve my judgement until I have more to go on.

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.
