are there ever just the little things that bug you?? such as spelling or if they don't capitalize a word?

"Minho was keeper of the runners" looks so weird to me

so does "Newt ran to the homestead"

and sometimes Med-jack won't have a hyphen or it's typed as Med-Jack AGH

i hope that is helpful in some way and if any of you think of something that isn't on the list, please let me know so i can add it!

*"maze" is usually only capitalized when they are returning to, you know, the maze. if your character has just shown up in the glade and is asking about "a maze" or just talking about a maze in general, it can be lowercase.

**^pretty much the same thing. you wouldn't say, for example, "He woke up and found himself in a Box." it's just when you're referring to the Box and they know it's a specific one and not just some random box, if that makes sense.
