[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8622934, member: 59816"] Notes on Style: Hey, I want you all to know, (in case you find it intimidating) that just because I'm writing in third-person past-tense, doesn't mean that I expect you to do it too. By all means, if you [I]enjoy[/I] it (like I do), please do! But just know that there's no [I]expectation[/I] of such. The only reason I am writing that way (as opposed to, say, second person present ("You see a giant...") that is the standard for D&D, is because I find it easier to write that way in PBP. You'll find I have three "voices" in my posts. My Narrator (discussed above); My DM (the voice of authority you will find in GM-boxes) and the "real me" (which you will find in OOC boxes, or here, speaking to you directly of the mechanical or fiddly bits of the game). I'd like it if in the Story Thread you use OOC boxes when you're discussing the fiddly bits, too. But do whatever you find the most fun/easy for your own narration. If you like to write like I do, go ahead, but if you prefer first-person ("I check under the rug!") like "normal" D&D... go ahead. That's fine. Also... your posts don't have to be long winded. If you don't have time (or desire!) to write something big, a quick note will let me know that you're still playing, and I will move things along. It's all voluntary. [/QUOTE]
