I know I should ask this on the writing spot, but it would probably get answered quickly and effectively here...

The sentence below is in the story I'm writing, I'm trying to figure out the best way to punctuate it and I figured some of the fellow grammar Nazi's on here could help.

It had always been one of Joey's favoriete traits because it seemed to suggest the eerie truth, that vampires were although solid, moving creatures not really alive.

Though it may not be entirely grammatically correct considering the fact that I have unorthodox ways of doing everything, this is the way that I suggest u phrase it:

"It had always been one of Joey's favoriete traits. It seemed to suggest the eerie truth; although vampires were solid, moving creatures, they were not really alive."


Hope to help.~

Add a semicolon (;) after "truth" and a comma after "creatures".

Though if it were me, I'd say it like this:

It had always been one of Joey's favoriete traits because it seemed to suggest the eerie truth. Vampires, though solid, moving creatures, are/were not really alive.

"are/were" because I don't know what tense you're in.

Except it couldn't be a semicolon because semicolons are used for linking two complete sentences together.

The semicolon would be used to indicate that something is going to be listed.

Both are acceptable in this situation.
