Quote from: Sombra;1485809That isn't anything to be ashamed of, really. Even though you don't notice it, your style has its differences. Everybody rips off from good writers, because the way we learn to write with style is by reading, so of course we are going to pick up part of a writer's style when we read their work.

You're right. You know how in Fight Club, the narrator/main character's speech doesn't have quotation marks around it (my theory is that this is meant to represent the blurring of the line between his own mind and his perception of reality)? I take that farther. I don't use any quotation marks. Although the character in my story was in a mental institution, and was probably even more fucked up than the guy from Fight Club.

On a serious note, I also did more description regarding the setting, although I still left it pretty vague. I only described the setting in any detail at all because I felt that it would reveal a lot about the personalities of both of the only two characters in the story.

You can be happy and overly-excited too. Please no emoticons, it's bad news.

Trust Absinthe on this one.

Yeah he once permabanned me for misspelling a word! Luckily my 4str 4stam belt gives me the permaban-re roll perk where I have a 50% chance of overturning the ban.

I do. It's called comedy. One of them's the bannable joke I pulled.

When people say 'no emoticons' they mean it more for this one than almost any other.

This. Why do we have the 'rockin' emoticon, anyway?

I think it may have been intended to be used sarcastically.

Too bad some people don't use it sarcastically.

Yeah, but I don't think Column knew just how annoying it is. And it could be worse (see: Hamserfood). Still, he disobeyed a warning and needs to be punished. What should we do? Put him in our Propoganda Day flashes as a schoolgirl, or is that too much?

Well, seeing as chilling or banning him is too much, all that is left is flash humiliation, but probably only as a lighthearted joke.

My thoughts exactly. It's an emoticon, not a trojan. There's still a nagging question, though : who's going to do the voice acting?

(And another question: about how many more sets of votes are needed before the winners are decided? Also, I've been busy recently but I will probably have plenty of time tomorrow to read and vote.)

I'd rather have more than three people vote. Column voted as well, but his votes were "GOD FOR FUNNIEST!!!! Kingdavidforeverythingelseiguessbut GOD FOR FUNNIEST!!!!" I can't take that vote very seriously.

Any one of you could be voting right now. Sombra, SillyPutty, BlueZombie, why don't you let me know what you think?

I write like Gaiman, Adams and Huxley.
