[hider= IC posts ~ a Vesuvius original Recipe]
[b]Hardware:[/b]
- one (1) place to write and then post the finished product
- (Optional) Background music to set the writing mood

[b]Ingredients:[/b] (* = Required) (# = Use one or the other, not both. Beware of overloads)
- *At least one (1) living character with which to interact with the IC world (pre-prepared)
- *Three (3) teaspoons of Grammar and correct spelling (so as to avoid a strangely-worded or unreadable final product)
- *A reasonable amount (4-5 tablespoons) of plot flexibility (in case things don't work out exactly how you planned)
- #One (1) cup Sugar (to make your post sweet!)
- #Two (2) tablespoons concentrated essence of Awe (to make your posts awe-some!)
- Descriptionary details (just enough to draw readers into the setting)
- Plot development
- Angst
- Drama
- Suspense
- Comedy (highly recommended for most posts!)
- Sass/Saracasm

[b]Instructions[/b]
	1.) Grease a small glass pan with oil or shortening and preheat the oven to 350- er, sorry. Wrong recipe.
	2.) Thoroughly mix all required ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside.
	3.) Choose either Sugar or Awe, and use that to coat the base of your post. Make sure to spread it out evenly! 
(If using sugar, mix with water to create a paste. If using awe concentrate, water may help thin it out a bit as well to make spreading easier. WARNING: Beware of watering down the post too much!)
	4.) Pour mixed required ingredients into post.
	5.) Fill any cracks with Descriptionary details.
	6.) Sprinkle with Plot development to taste and top with any Angst, Drama, Suspense, Comedy, or Sass/Saracasm as you see fit.
	7.) Serve!
