I actually really like the style of PVP and don't usually see the "mistakes" that get posted here.<br /><br />But (and I've thought this for awhile) Scott really needs to find a partner to write for him. It's already pretty rare that his writing/jokes rise above decent, but this entire storyline was abysmally written. I had no idea what I was even reading half the time, and it's clear he didn't do any research/let his personal prejudices guide the writing.<br /><br />Seriously, find a partner who has some writing chops.
