Important Announcement
I want to remind you all to read all new posts prior to posting your own. A few of you have just entered House's office, which is fine, except you somehow all failed to notice that Cassandra Walker (Exquisite Taste's character) was standing outside the door waiting for House to allow her to enter. If a character is waiting for me to wave them in you all cannot suddenly be in my office, because then why isn't she. Instead interact with her in front of the door and all of you can wait together. Remember you cannot control my character to allow yourselves entry, you must wait for me to post saying I asked for you to come in. If you want to you can always enter without my response, but then expect House to be mad. This isn't aimed at anyone specific and this isn't a lecture, I am just reminding you all of, not only the rules of this thread, but also the rules of the advanced forum. We want a story that flows nicely and makes sense and in order to do that we have to have all the facts before posting. And make sure to keep those posts two or more well developed paragraphs. The rules for the advances forum technically call for at least three paragraphs of at least five sentences each. You will all notice that I rarely post three paragraphs, but then again my paragraphs are usually 10-15 sentences. I do not care if you only post two paragraphs, but I mean it when I say well-developed. Well developed also refers to proper grammar and spelling, there is nothing wrong with typing your response in MS Word first to make use of the spell/grammar checker. It is not 100% accurate but it will be an improvement nonetheless. I am not a total grammar/spelling fiend, I am a trained english teacher and a writer/editor but I understand mistakes are made. I make plenty of mistakes myself, but try to keep it as neat and correct as possible. I am seeing a lot of short posts which fail to develop the characters and advance the plot. Not only does this weaken the story but it is against the standards of this forum. Again I hope no one takes offense to this because it is just me playing referee to make sure that we create a good story. Thanks for reading, keep up the good work, and have fun.
Best,
Azzy
