Can some one explain why when I write fan fiction I have no passive sentences in my work, but when I write a paper Word tells me 10-15% of my sentences are passive?  How can I be more direct when I'm writing something fictional?  I'm a terrible liar, and an even worse storyteller (unless I've had time to plot the story).
I'm going back to my passive paper, so I can get the hell off of campus and watch CSI tonight!
