It's been ages since I did any writing so I figured I'd try my hand at reviving those skills. And I'll be using this thread to just post up random stuff I come up with. So like, if anyone is reading feel free to post your opinions and be honest.



PS. I know I misspell newer. That's just my thing. It's something I've been doing since I started writing and it's since become a thing.

Ah, you write never as newer. It took me a moment to realise it.
Why have you decided to do that?

And the italics for talking, is that a style choice? Usually people use italics for thoughts, so it took me a bit to get used to the curisive sentences being spoken words.

Overall though, I like this story. It's mysterious.

Firstly, thank you for your reply. It means to me to know someone actually read this.

It's a thing with my writing that I've done since I was a kid. No idea why I started way back when, I guess english being a foreign language it just sounded right to me or something. But now it's just a trademark thing I do. :)

And the italics for talking, is that a style choice? Usually people use italics for thoughts, so it took me a bit to get used to the curisive sentences being spoken words.

I am generally used to using quoted italics for talking and regular italics for words. This is mostly because just quotes didn't stand out that well on the graphic themes of the other forums I used to visit. What's the etiquette here so that I might adjust?

Overall though, I like this story. It's mysterious.

It's a story about an old RPG character of mine. I picked up where I left her off all those years ago. Just when she'd thought she couldn't get into any more trouble. xD If anyone is interested I can keep the story going.

From what I've seen in roleplays and in the stories that were submitted for the writing contests: dialogue is done in plain text, but in some roleplays people decide to give the lines of dialogue a colour to make it stand out in the rest of the text. Not everyone does that though, I personally always use plain text and use italics for thoughts, emphasizing words, or when someone speaks in a different language than the one used by the main character(s) in the RP.

Noted. Also noted that I forgot to put that last story through a spell checker. That won't repeat it self.
