This is embarrassing but I figure better now than after the fact. I`m doing a little experiment and writing a fic in present tense so now I`m at a bit of a loss. Writing about past actions when do I use simple past and when do I use the "had done..." version? Anyone? Bueller?

Tru dat. I'm agreeing. Past perfect is really awkward.

LOL, but great for increasing word count, right? I mean, if you need that extra ten words to make your quota, fall back on the old "write in past perfect tense" rule. Haha.
