[quote=@shylarah]I also wish to ask if there are considerations made for those of us who are typing on something where proofing and editing are more difficult, and where autocorrect is a serious issue.[/quote] Given the nature of the roleplay, no. It is intended as a merciless sudden-death bonus round, and I already stated I am not making exceptions for scheduling - why would I for other issues? Make do and plan accordingly. [quote=@shylarah]You mention that minor errors might be useful to adjust your manner of writing. I find this interesting. I also wonder if consideration will be given for narrative style and the voice of the character whose perspective is being used. I do hope it will. Additionally, I wonder how strict you are going to be in terms of what constitutes an error. For example: there are stylistic rules that different people handle with varying degrees of attentiveness, like placement of certain commas (the most obvious example, of course, is the Oxford comma, but there are other instances where one might or might not use a comma and it's a matter of how one wishes the sentence to flow), the use of a conjunction to start a sentence or a preposition to end it, and how one deals with pronouns for a single entity of indeterminate gender. If there are to be consequences that pertain to what in the end is a personal choice even if perhaps not technically correct (and there are debates over what are claimed to be the "official" rules for these and other issues), I would like to know. More serious transgressions, such as the egregiously erroneous use of "like" in places where it might be put conversationally but not in formal writing, or deliberate technical violations done for effect, are also a concern.[/quote] There can be stylistic differences in writing that remain technically flawless in composition - as demonstrated by [@mdk], the showoff. As you noted though, people may make specific stylistic or aesthetic decisions in writing a passage that substantially alter its flow - and for those of you who have been paying attention to my reviews, you will know I am a stickler for passage structure that reads awkwardly. Such stylistic decisions might affect what I report to you, but have no practically meaningful effect on the information being presented. In effect, there is no 'error' too small for me to ignore, but some are so small or limited that any changes rendered are sufficiently negligible as to be irrelevant. You may find that distortions caused by deliberately erroneous stylistic choices will not greatly impede your ability to perceive the Iteration. Or in more simple terms: The only errors you should be mindful of are errors serious enough that, in accumulation, would detrimentally impact your ability to [i]read and interpret[/i] my own passages if I were to adopt those same errors. Since I am feeling generous, here is an example incorporating your point regarding gender identification. Those who know me well are probably aware that I loath gender pronouns and, in casual conversation, will refer to most individuals as 'they' - and I typically assert that the usage is grammatically correct, though I expect there are plenty who would disagree with me. [u][b]I will be aiming to keep my initial responses more generalized and free of such personalized clutter so as to avoid ambiguity. By default, the meaning of everything I write should be immediately apparent and clear.[/b][/u] If you then began using they as a gender neutral first-person pronoun, I would likely adopt that method of referral, and that might not detract terribly from your ability to understand what I write - [i]unless combined with other ambiguous usages of various pronouns or the word they specifically that would render its usage ambiguous[/i]. You could argue that such usage is not an error, and I would be inclined to agree - it is less me being strict about punishing errors and more the contextual reality adapting to what you present it with. In essence: As the spiteful Termite I am, I will be going out of my way to pick out and incorporate 'stylistic choices' from your writing that make it harder to understand overall. I might also incorporate certain elements of your writing that, while harmless on their own, might synergize with other seemingly innocuous elements of writing to create an unintelligible mess. I will not be so unreasonable as to create patterns of error that do not exist, but I will take advantage of even the smallest genuine mistakes made.
