okay kids. These aren't exactly airtight rules, but you'll have to follow them to at least some extent.
1) choose a tense, and stick to it. Past, present, future, whatever! But use the same one for your whole rp.
EXAMPLE OF WHAT NOT TO DO:
"OMG!" she gasps, then fell to the ground and writhes as teh ETernal Sword pierced her gut and blood spills.
(Me? Morbid? What are you talking about?)
EXAMPLE OF WHAT TO DO:
Her attacker smiled in satisfaction, and pulled out her blade with relish before wiping it off and sheathing it.
Stick. With. Your. Tense. PLEASE. Or I'll Phoenix Wright you. You don't want that to happen.
2) use spellcheck. That's just elementary. And please, right in some sort of paragraph form (NO SCRIPT) and no leet talk.
EXAMPLE OF WHAT NOT TO DO
Kata: & lyke then she kised hym on teh chek and blushd madlly.
Sora: LOL!! for teh internets D:
EXAMPLE OF WHAT TO DO
Sora charged in just as Kata was about to kiss Kyousei on the cheek and whipped out a camera. "Yes! Blackmail!" she cheered, taking a picture just as she kissed him.
3) after you've written your post, check it over again.
4) putting actions like *this* is...okay, but I'd rather you write it out.
EXAMPLE
"hmmm. Interesting. *raises an eyebrow*"
BETTER WAY TO DO IT (in my opinion)
"Hmmmm. Interesting." He raised an eyebrow thoughtfully, surveying the scene.
5) space between your paragraphs. For visual ease. (XD geometry joke. >_>)
6) use all the color you want. But please, use quotation marks. THAT MEANS YOU ZAK
that's all. I'm a picky little thing, aren't I.
