| ITALICS Any type of description that occurs at the beginning, end, or in between dialogue. I.E: " He then picked up his bag and left, smug-like." BOLD Should only be used to highlight the currant speaker in the proceeding dialogue(Colour included). Can also be used for appropriate effect(within reason). I:E Christiano Renegade: Haha. Sure, sounds good. GAPS Gaps should ALWAYS be used. No one reading a show wants to see lines and lines of writing with no gaps, it's much more appealing to our readers. Therefore, as a decent amount. At least two spaces must be placed before anymore dialogue or description is written again.
GRAMMAR As Selected Vice-General Manager, General Manager, Head of Vice General Manager(s) You should have an excellent understanding of Grammar. This doesn't just include spelling, but punctuation. Among many other things. (Previous/Past/Present tense.) - You can only set an RP in one tense, don't change; It's confusing for readers. Also avoid repetition, no one likes a re-run of the same information. (In other words, don't say the tree is green. And then several sentences later, remind them it's green.)That should do it for now. - Christi. | |

| For actions. Instead of Italics, what about *? Like *Jimmy Laughed at Cris* | |

| I still think Italics could just be there to symbolize subtly that something different is occurring. Plus those stars look very tacky on the show.
(My opinion though) | |

| If stars seem to be the 'in' thing then we can use them. Just offering different views. | |
