Foster's guide on how to crank-out words like a choo-choo train of thought: 1. Re-state [u][i]everything[/i][/u] your character(s) saw from their unique perspective(s) [indent]a. This helps other players get a feel for where your character is, and how much you understand is going-on OOCly (out-of-character = how you in real life understand the situation) b. This also gives the other players a feel for your character's mood, tone of speech, and other finer-details that may be important to other people. c. Also, if you're away for a ridiculously long time, it tends to also explain "where the hell have you been?!" in the story[/indent] 2. Use multiple paragraphs to organize the post so people know when you're changing the perspective of the story/narration. 3. Format the general flow of actions to "things that have happened, and how I feel about it", "what am I doing about those things right now", with "what I expect to happen/accomplish, and how I would deal with it", the last part is nice if you end-up away from the interwebz and people have to guess/assume what your character would do. 4. State the name of your character and the names of characters you are interacting with, often. -[u]Character-Names work like this[/u]: [b][i]Use it or lose it[/i][/b]. I'm tempted to copy-paste this into my bio, good idea?
