Dialogue is written as “Hello,” she said or “Hello!” she said, never “Hello.” She said or “Hello.” she said or “Hello,” She said or “Hello” she said. The only exception to this is if the next sentence doesn’t contain a speech verb, which is a verb describing how the dialogue is said. In that case it’s written as “Hello.” She grinned, never “Hello,” she grinned or “Hello,” She grinned or “Hello.” she grinned. Note that something isn’t a speech verb just because it’s a sound you make with your mouth, so generally stuff like laughed or giggled is in the second category. Furthermore, if you’re breaking up two complete sentences it’s “Hi,” she said. “This is it.” not “Hi,” she said, “this is it.” or “Hi,” she said “this is it.” And if you’re breaking up a sentence in the middle, it’s “Hi. This,” she said, “is it.” The same punctuation and capitalization rules apply to thoughts, except you don’t use quotation marks with thoughts.

You wouldn’t capitalize animal or mouse or dragon, so you shouldn’t capitalize words like pokemon or pikachu or charizard. The only time you should capitalize it is if you’re using it as the pokemon’s name, ie, Ash’s pikachu is called Pikachu. This is because you only capitalize when it’s a proper noun, which are the names of places or things. Similar reasoning should be applied to any other words you’re thinking of capitalizing, like telephone or trainer. Or professor.

[ My great, great grandmother committed a crime of mating with a Pokemon. More specifically, she mated with a Cloyster.  ]

That’s kind of impressive. (more…)

I really wonder about the game openings. Is it that people don’t bother to read anything else in the category but are still sure they’re awesome writers everyone else will pay attention to? Or do they see it a million times and think that those may suck but obviously theirs is super interesting? (more…)

The capitalization seems to be improving but it’s just madness as far as semicolons go. (more…)

One of the stories today is by someone planning to major in Creative Writing! (more…)

Variety continues. Mostly it’s bad variety, but still, better than being just boring. (more…)

There’s a story today where N sets off a civil war and ends up ruling half of Unova and they’re sending out ambassadors to the other regions and yet it appears to have nothing to do with pokemon rights. (more…)

Ladystuck fic and review:

Frame

This is just perfect, thank you! I love the range of her in this, how she’s different with different people and times – nice to most of her people, smiling at Jack’s suffering (what sort of person never washes formal clothes?!), more terse to Terezi and extremely remote to the Felt, but then willing to elaborate during the conversation and ultimately reconsider how she wants to be.

The shy artist turns out to be one of Jack Noir’s aides.

Poor baby, probably gets threatened every time she does her job! (Or else she was told to stop doing that job and that’s where she got all her sculpting time from.) I hope he’s nice to her given she’s made a stature he could leer at.

and the Black Queen finds Jack Noir, once again itching at his collar. He offers her the champagne, which she exchanges for a fresh glass.

Also, did he manage to refrain from spitting in it?

And now, back to the pokegrind. (more…)

I got a wonderful Ladystuck fic that will have to get a proper review tomorrow because I am super tired and it deserves better.

Pokefandom does not, so let’s go. (more…)
