Commander Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) @K_H, TurboAura: Guys, what happened with the conversation between our characters? :u It was probably interrupted by the fight that was about to break out. @Chimchain: it probably wouldn't be a good idea having Henry and Evan in the same room alone aka the two darkest (not evil) characters so far outside of RoG. Edit: Should I stick with italics or use () to show thoughts. I might be hard to tell so I'd like to know which you'd prefer.

Edit: Should I stick with italics or use () to show thoughts. I might be hard to tell so I'd like to know which you'd prefer. I'd prefer it if you used italics for Thoughts. also, to help out with the Clarity of what's Thoughts and what's Speech, i use a New Line whenever i switch between one of the three, but that's just what i do. And yes, it was interrupted by the Fight. Edited October 1, 2014 by K_H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jory Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Let me lay a little basic English literary structure on you fellas: - When a character engages in internal monologue (such as thoughts), they don't usually need to be separated from that same character's actual speech by a line space. For example: That Jory guy is such an asshole. Who does he think he is, lecturing us on grammar? Kenny thought to himself. He then turned to Chimchain. "Isn't Jory such a dickhead?" As seen in this example, if a person expresses thought and spoken dialogue without an interrupting party, there does not need to be a line space. However, it is still acceptable to make a line space if you really want, as well as in the case of a change in subject (like a regular paragraph change). - Conversely, when a character is thinking and the spoken dialogue of a different character interrupts the first character's, there needs to be a line space demarcating the two different perspectives. For this purpose, I'm simply going to add onto the earlier example. That guy Jory is such an asshole. Who does he think he is, lecturing us on grammar? Kenny thought to himself. He then turned to Chimchain. "Isn't Jory such a dickhead?" "Yeah!" Chimchain replied enthusiastically. "He's got his head so far up his own ass that he can see what he had for breakfast!" In this example, we see a change in speaker from Kenny ("Isn't Jory such a dickhead?") to Chimchain ("Yeah!"), thus making the inclusion of a line space absolutely necessary.

And yes, it was interrupted by the Fight. Since Henry switches on and off a lot, it was more to make sure. I just making sure (I know the proper way to use 'em). Having Henry be able to do a mix of dialogue and thoughts also makes him a lot easier to use than typing a line, waiting for a response, then typing another line as someone could easily bunny him through a minor plot point until I get back.

Chim Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 After everyone finishes their interaction I'll let Redwood pop up with the new Pokémon. Seeing as it's almost 12PM here I'm off to bed. For the group involved with Evan: He won't say anything about the reason for attacking Alvin, but you can let him follow you. Alvin and Lana are already in the gym.

Notus Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 ^He was using this for making a funny example Kenny. XD By the way, great post Jory. I always was in doubt in that matter, but now you made it clear. (I voted that up XD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Tell me... I must acquire more of such knowledge... EDIT: oh, and I don't really care if any of you guys start trying to talk to Mareek, so do so if you want; though he may or may be a bit more open to conversation than he was last night.

Jory Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Where'd you learn this!? Tell me! You must! I have not been able to find proper information on how to format Dialogue and such anywhere... I learned it in a Creative Writing class in 7th grade, although I'd always known to do so because I was pretty bookish as a kid and the way I learn best is, "Monkey see, monkey do." I could tell you exactly what's wrong with your sentence and have no idea what the technical reason for it is. I just happen to be very good at speaking English.

Zephyrus the Priestess Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I kinda wish I was actually learning something... I feel like I was way better at writing before-- or, at least, I had more ideas before when I was younger. But now I can't really think of anything decent.

The only thing I ever learned from all the crap ton of books I've read is how to write a plot and how to give a character a soul... guess I should've been watching for formatting too... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chim Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 I think I'll skip ahead to the first mission for RoG after all. I mainly let you guys control the fight because I didn't want to hold you up, but it seems like it backfired... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
