Posting Guidelines

There's not many rules for this. Please note those that exist however!

1 - Try to produce decent length posts. I'd like a paragraph or more if you can manage. I can aprpeciate this is not always possible, especially in fast-paced dialogue moments. But do please do your best.

2 - Please highlight dialogue with a colour of your choice. To do this you can highlight the text you wish with your mouse, and change the colour using the Styled text drop down menu that you can see below the text input window.

3 - When writing dialogue, use the correct punctuation. That means inverted commas/quotation marks. Thus:

"Do not exterminate me, it might sting," said The Doctor, showing little sign of fear.

4 - Please write in the past tense, third person. If you do not know what these are, this is the normal method of writing used in novels. As follows:

The Doctor fiddled with his cravat as he looked down at the test tubes. There was something about these enzymes that bothered him. It was not their alien nature. Nor was it that they seemed to evolve to avoid any method of stopping them spreading their effect. It was that they were wearing microscopic clown shoes and red noses. That could not be right at all, surely?

5 - You may follow post order if you wish. I don't expect that to happen all the time. If it is required to do so owing to a fight scene or some other dramatic situation, I will let you know when it starts, and when post order ceases to be mandatory.

6 - Any questions, do ask!
