Something I've noticed...

Post by Neco the Nightwraith »

Yeah, I was looking through the rp threads, and looking at the quality of the posts. Some are excellent, some are severely crippled.

Perhaps some suggestions for improvement should be posted and discussed.

For one: Writing in third person. Most major novels come written in third person. It makes it much easier to read, just like a book.

For two: Good punctuation/spelling/grammar. (This was mentioned.) It should be utilized to a better extent.

For three: Indenting dialogue and paragraphs in long stretches of non-dialogue text. (You all know what a paragraph is, right?)

I think that by following these, you've a better chance at not losing your mind when it comes to reading others posts.

Any more suggestions?

on style of posting. I like to use a script like style. it's been my style since i began and no one has complained about it. I think it makes it clear to read.

Personally, I dislike paragraphs, when I'm writing something. However, it's neccesary to seperate different thoughts. I also like the script style, but too many people argue about that for my taste.
