"He opened his door and recognized his neighbor across landing"

Is this sentence correct if the neighbor is a woman?

Yes Bionika, because the possessive "his" means the woman is the neighbor of the man, it is not like in french where the possessive adjective is conjugued with the noun.

Thank Elzorro.

I was very tempted to write "her" due to the French grammatical rule.

You're welcome Bionika ! I know it is not easy at the beginning.

We are going in Oscar's memory and dreams for some chapters in story "Help me ! ".
Do you think that it's necessary to change the characters type from normal to italic for better understanding for instance or should I let them normal?

Bionika,

Personally I like the italics, it helps me see the change from the present back to Oscar's memory. I don't have to think so hard whether it's present or dreams. For my little brain the clearer and easier the better for me. 432q18 wrugx

I took pity for your poor brain and posted it with italics.
Thank for having answering me.

There is a large estuary called Chesapeake Bay that runs along the area surrounding Washington DC. There are places all along Chesapeake bay to fish from Virginia up through Delaware. I know this through general knowledge. One place that comes to mind is Annapolis, in Maryland, where the Naval Academy is located. I googled "fishing nearby to Washington DC" and sure enough, a search confirmed there are fishing areas nearby to Annapolis. According to a site called Pier and Surf.com, 2 places to fish around Annapolis based on a query, Fishing around Annapolis/Severn Area, At least 2 places were mentioned, Jonas Green and Sandy Point. I think there are many kinds of fish to catch there, but the ones mentioned are Bluefish, Striped Bass, and Perch. I don't know a ton about fishing, though, myself. I hope this helps.

Yes, many thanks for your researches.
I'll probably choose the place for my next story in Chesapeake Bay; perhaps not Annapolis because my so-called sailor men aren't very honest and being too close of Naval Academy would be too dangerous for them.

Thank to have given me the idea of Chesapeake Bay. I've made some resarches on it and on Maryland and I found the perfect place for my story in progress. yide
Moreover, I've learnt some geography about you country! I had never realized that Washington D.C. was so close of the sea and landlocked in Maryland.
Which shows that writing fanfiction is very useful! yide

Do you know how to call the kind of automatic typewriter which types news in Oscar office? (you could see it at the beginning of SMDM episode : "nuclear alert"). ?
I think, it's fax ancestor and remember to have seen something like that when I began to work but even in French I can't remember it's name.
