In answer to your question, I think that punctuation really doesn't matter, PhilG. If they can write a good story that's all that matters. But, if they want to have a serious career as a writer, they should definately fix punctuation errors.
P.S Great story!

Spelling by: SpellerChecker
Nice story but there was too much spelling mistakes, that kinda killed my reading experience but nice work
Right you are SpellerChecker, but I let it pass through anyway. I originally wanted to accept all stories as is because I didn't want kids to get bogged down and lose their creativity. I have been correcting more of late because I too cringe when I encounter errors.
So I'll ask you all this question. Should proper spelling and grammar be considered as important as the stories themselves?
