As it stands, I have a vague idea of how to GM; some best practices and the like would be greatly appreciated, but aren't the subject of my questions today (I feel that my basic knowledge should suffice, and that the learning experience I go through will help shape my style into something unique). Instead, I'd like to know some of the formatting styles and habits that GMs here have. 

In particular, at the moment I feel that it might seem "cheap" to reuse text from an interest check in an RP's OOC. For once I can read over my work and I don't immediately retch at the sight of it (does anyone else read their work over and feel as if someone else wrote it [and immediately feel repulsed]?) I'd even say I'm proud of it. However, as much as I like it, I've been looking around and I've gotten the feeling that it's also not really necessary in the OOC. For an interest check, I've got the feeling that having some flamboyant show of story and style works, but an OOC should be closer to the point. 

What do you think?
