Ah, I know that feeling. Let me tell you that (as far as *I* can
tell, anyway) your english is definitely good. Don't be afraid -
obviously the story ranks over the language with most people on
this list. Unfortunately that goes for many of the *writers*, too.

That would explain why you only get praise: Your story is so damn
good that the readers simply can't concentrate on such petty
details as language or grammar or whatever. Now damn those
torpedoes and go on writing!
