Okay, the most mild of rants/critiques that I'm almost positive absolutely no one gives a damn about besides me. Because it's never brought up by anyone else. (at least in general) People seem to like the content regardless of presentation. But here's something that clearly defines a purely roleplaying thread related problem, that's easily fixable and perfect to mention in this thread. Please, put effort in clearly and cohesively structuring your written post. You have all sorts of unique tools at your disposal that novels just don't have. Make it clear what they mean to you, when you're using them. Unless you want to confuse your reader unnecessarily. Using hiders, colors or anything else. The more obvious you can make what the purpose of including it is, the better. I did this myself, I personally and often use [i]italicizing[/i] to show a person's dialogue is in their head. But without making that clear, I confused my partner. Apparently, the coloring choice I used made it hard to even tell the difference. Simply because I didn't add a little clarification. So not blameless, but I really do wonder how many people even [b]skim[/b] after they finish writing their posts. What else do I mean? Just stuff you should be able to catch, if you [b]read[/b] what you wrote, after you posted it. (Red text is used for highlighting examples.) [color=ed1c24]Stuff like this, when you're simply copying and pasting your work into the thread from somewhere else and you clearly have an unnecessarily long cut between the lines that happens nowhere else, making it just distracting and jarring to look at.[/color] Or... [color=ed1c24] "Tabbing for text, like a novel would..." "But only sometimes." "Which is just obnoxious for the eyes."[/color] Being a couple examples that literally take seconds to correct and it really does make all the difference to show effort was made. So please, after you post something, double check it... Also secondary critique. I'm sorry, it just personally bugged me to no end. Even as someone who just kind of sucks at using proper punctuation in my writing. The [color=ed1c24]"[/color]-[color=red]"[/color] and the [color=ed1c24]"[/color],[color=ed1c24]"[/color] aren't interchangeable things, or at least shouldn't be. The comma is used for separation, so certain sentences aren't confused like...

I love my parents, Kylie Minogue, and Kermit the Frog.[/url] It's not for dramatic pauses and you don't use [color=ed1c24]"[/color]-[color=ed1c24]"[/color] for random sentences. [color=ed1c24]Because if you - did you'd have to stop- reading like counting 1,2 - 3. Seriously it's obnox- ious. (So is occasionally spacing out punctuation and then not doing it.[/color] [s]Yes I did that on purpose.[/s] Consistency matters. I only often see it used for stammers or pauses in dialogue and it's probably for the best when used sparingly. Also, it makes it seem less like your punctuation is interchangeable, when you don't have stuff like [color=ed1c24]:;[/color] or [color=ed1c24]-,[/color] in the post. Typos that would be fixed with basic editing, just drive me up the wall. [i]Hopefully, everything I wrote happens to be cohesive...[/i]
