IC Posting Rules

This RPG is for fun more than anything else, and I don't want to turn replying to your posts into any sort of back-breaking chore. One paragraph, 3-5 good sentences, 50 words minimum should do. Although a little bit longer is much preferred, I'd ask for 1 good paragraph 7-10 sentences, 130 words. But as long as you meet the minimum you're fine.
Language
This site is made by an American who knows very little of any other language, and is meant mainly for those who speak English. I'm not asking for perfection, but do not use any form of chatspeak, try to get correct grammar and spelling, punctuation is a must. There is a spell check installed on proboards, use it.
Quality
I'm not asking for professional five-year experience writing here, but I would like it to be interesting. Don't make it over detailed and by all means don't put in too little, basically type it like you would tell it aloud. Be sure to read through your posts and make sure everything makes sense before you go on.
Dialog
I've seen many different methods of showing that a character is speaking, you may change it's color, start a new paragraph, put it in smaller print, bold etc. But you must use "quotation marks" around your dialog along with those things. And don't get excessive about it, make sure the color you use is readable as well.
Quoting
I actually prefer you use italics in order to make quotes, it's generally less messy than proboard's installed quoting system. Looks nicer too.
