A Good Idea

For members who type up TBRPGs, or Stories of any sort I would like you guys to keep this in mind.

 

When you type it up and such, I highly suggest not using the "Reply" box on BZP, I would highly suggest using a Word Processor, or perhaps Notepad even. If you own neither, you can pick it up in a software disc (I do not know where to get it, if you can, off the internet) and download it. If you don't want to spend the money, then go over what you wrote with a Spell and a Grammar check and shortly after that go over it with your own eyes.

 

Once it is in good grammar and spelling, and all that magic jazz, you can post it and have that feeling that people will understand the story/RPG. Several common errors I see involve spelling and the "Your for You're" and the "You're for your" i.e;

 

"I see that your happy."

 

"I hope you're mother is okay."

 

Common mistakes like that are what can drive me up a wall at times. I read "You're" as "You are" versus pronouncing it as "Your" so I have to reread sentences that switch the two.

 

Why you should have Good Spelling/Grammar

 

- It will make you easier to understand, and that is what you want correct?

- Members will be enticed to read the story you posted or join the RPG you made.

- People prefer the ability to understand someone rather than read what one had to say and go "lolwut."

- It's a great habit to get into, and your language teacher would be proud.

 

Those are only some reasons out of a lot as to why, but using good grammar and good spelling is a very good idea in the end. Just keep that in mind when you're submitting an RPG request, or posting a SS.
