The Semi-Literate & Literate Roleplayer's Club (V4)

[spiff]

So I find myself facing a dilemma every time I make a roleplay:
I tend to make the introduction posts/rules/etc. in lowercase when it just involves listing things [for an example, check the most recent rp I've been working on, which is one of the ideas I posted here yesterday] yet I typically type with proper capitalization, which makes everything terribly inconsistent. I do think the whole lowercase thing is aesthetically pleasing, though- should I change my entire way of typing to fit it? It seems like a silly thing to do just so my roleplays will be consistent with my writing, but it really bothers me :U

Which do you prefer?

I find lowercase aesthetically displeasing, but as long as you make it look good and it doesn't make your posts difficult to read then I think you're fine doing it whichever way you want.

All lowercase would take a lot of getting used to and I kind of prefer typing the "proper" way [though my grammar gets kind of screwy when I'm excited anyway] but it just doesn't look as good when it comes to roleplay intros imo
So I have no idea.

My suggestion is the 'proper way.' You can't go wrong there.

I can relate. Often on RP topics and certain forms, I use lowercase letters for small parts of the post, ex. the roleplay topic's subtitles are written in lowercase format and the cat form's basics are written in lowercase. However, I often find myself properly capitalizing the 'essential' words, such as the word 'I'.
My advice is to do what you want; it's your post and your coding, and nobody should judge you for it. :3 of course, if the lower-cased letters are really starting to bug you, then just type in proper grammar as Ptolemy said.

Thanks so much for your input, guys! I think I'll stick with what I have right now and I've changed the RP description to make it fit in with my decision.

How often do you read (not including on CS)?

only every free moment I get. I tend to read more when I don't have access to a computer though, since I'm not working on replies then. Probably a good hour or two every night still though, been on a Stephen King kick lately

How often do you read (not including on CS)?

Ahaha, this is a hard question to answer.
I tend to have a cycle for reading. I'll usually read a large number of books and be unable to walk around without a story in my hands for awhile, but when the moment passes, I'll be left without any desire to pick up a novel for about a month or so afterwards. It's quite odd. I do occasionally pick up a book during that month or so, but unless it's spectacular and manages draws me in quickly, I end up setting it aside.

How often do you read (not including on CS)?

It is hard for me to get to the library. I'll find a good book at the library every month or two, though, and will read six hours a day until that book is finished (usually neglecting my poor college classes).

Probably a good thing I don't find a book I like more often than that.
