@A Tattooed Girl What I meant is more like the following. Try and read the IC as if each post was part of an ongoing story. In this context, does it make sense to randomly shift from third to first person? Again, It is a jarring and flow-breaking shift in perspective that I believe makes everyone involved worse off.

although, in her defense perhaps the narrative is from the sole first person's perspective with omniscient commentary on the side.

i say let it be. serverus hasn't made any complaints as of yet and tattoo girl has made two posts already. had severus had a problem with it they'd probably addressed it already. Me personally thinks it's refreshing. not many people commit to the first person. Kudos to tattoo girl. :3

@Natsucooldude you could always try reading all the "I"s as "Brynn"s, and the "my"s as "her"s. (: food for thought. I do appreciate your view, and totally understand.

@Bigg Slamm ...you just made my day! Thank you!<3

no problem. :3

@Natsucooldude

@A Tattooed Girl May I ask why you write in first person? It's a bit of a tonal clash with the third-person writing style everyone else is using. I'm asking because the clash of styles is affecting your posts for the worse, at least in my opinion.

Wow, there is so much wrong with those two sentences it's not even funny. FIRST of all, just because it's not "the third-person writing style everyone else is using" does not make it wrong. So effing what? If everyone here on the guild decides to drink bleach all at once, are you gonna do it? HELL no. SECOND of all, who the hell are you to judge her post? Unless the GM complains about her writing style, it's none of your damn business. Why you being such a judgemental jack@$$? THIRDLY, it's people like YOU that make everyone else so damn afraid to take a step into the advanced section. I *AM* an advanced writer, I have written two full length manuscripts that I intend to try and publish, AND I have been through so many high school and college writing classes I can't count them all--and got straight A's in every last one of them. And I can say, A Tattooed Girl's writing style is just fine. In fact, it is very excellent and detailed, which is far more than I can say for judgemental little @$$es like yourself usually. So you need to take a step back and ask yourself why the hell you are being such a jerk.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with writing in the first person for RP. I mix it up, writing in both perspectives. Some RPs I will go traditional, others I will go first person. Just because it's different doesn't make it wrong. That is the mentality that makes our world such an effed up place and it's crap that there's people like that here. Oh well. Don't listen to this guy, A Tattooed Girl, keep doing what you are doing.

Um.. for the record, I don't know @LoneSilverWolf ... >~< _{SHAWN!! Not nice, man! I wanna stay in this RP >~<}

@SnowLeopard Whatever you would like! I think the sub plot that Ganelon and Natsu are working on would be less crowded, or do your own thing. It will all come together eventually!

@TheUnknowable Who launched a noisy attack? There are two separate scenes occuring outside of NYC right now. One contains only me and Whimsley.

@Natsucooldude Noted. I wasnt sure if you had planned on waiting for another to join. Moving forward I will keep tabs on NPC encounters with Jethro. PM me if you have a plan of where you want a scene to go so I dont steer it wrong.

Whoa there. You can check in your Doctorate in English Literature at the door buddy. No need to go on a burning crusade. First person is an usual way to present in a roleplay filled with third person, and a bit clunky at time stylistically when transitioning from another roleplayer's use of Third.

Ladies and gentlemen,
We have our first One-liner.

@The Grey Dust
I think it's perfectly fine for a person to do whatever POV he PR she or it wants.

I'm not contesting that is right or wrong, just saying that Natsu does have a point that it's awkward to see a first person post in a predominantly third person roleplay. It's that transition moment you see.

@The Grey Dust
I'm not contesting either, I'm just saying, if one person wants to be able to use another POV, then they can, and if they don't care about transition, it's nobody's place to tell them to change their writing style.

@Natsucooldude
Alrighty. That sounds good to me. I assume she wouldn't just pop up out of nowhere. Would our characters know each other?

@LoneSilverWolf holy whiteknight batman!

hah. sorry, couln't resist. let's just ignore this from here on out.

in other news, I'll be going to bed now. Expect a post of me later-ish.

Actually... I gave my opinion in what I would consider a civil manner in a section of the thread explicitly meant for the discussion of all things related to the roleplay. I will admit I was being pushy about it, but you aren't gonna tell me I do not have the right to speak my mind about something that irks me.

Sorry, but when someone comes off as attacking my friends, I get very defensive. I'm fiercely loyal to those that I care about, especially when I feel they are being wrongfully judged or treated. Yeah the first person can be a bit of a surprise in a predominantly 3rd person RP, but still, each perspective has their own merits, their own strengths and weaknesses. I think people be open in how others RP, because it's how awesome RPs are born. Maybe I came off as a little strong, but that's because I felt someone who is like a sister to me was being attacked.

@The Grey Dust

I never said I had a doctorate, I was merely stating I know a thing or two about writing, I'm not just someone who has ever only written as a hobby here and there. And who cares? Some may not feel it clunky at all. I certainly don't. I think it can be a bit of an eye-raiser the first few times you see it, but it doesn't mean it's a bad style and you shouldn't bash someone just because "they are the minority using it." No, that is a BS reason, and we all know it.

Your gross overreaction has been duly noted. That being said, you did agree that it is a bit jarring to see it at first, hence I stand by Natsu's evaluation. However, should she care to continue to use it, I'm not stopping her.

Speaking of styles, you folks don't mind if my posting style is more often composed in overtly purple writing, and generally string together a stream of run-ons as I will abuse the hell out of commas, subjecting you all as the colon and semicolon sit unused on my keyboard along with the lonely period button of which shall at most glean some attention once-in-a-while for moments where I decide to terminate my thoughts to which until then only the commas shall suffice and sate my needs in constructing the sentences that extend unto the upper echelons of the bearable limits in sustaining syntax to the point of nearly being mere length optimization for the scaffolding of filler material that shall give my writing the appearance of grandeur despite the lack of anything meaningful to be extracted from the pretentious use, or perhaps rather disuse, or misuse of punctuation proper.

@The Grey Dust
...I can't read now.

@LoneSilverWolf I understand your feelings but please do not post again in this thread. You are not a member of this RP. I am the GM and will take care of the issue. Youre overreacting and cursing are both unwanted and unwarranted, as well as a violation of site rules. If you see his suggestion to your friend as a violation of rules, feel free to contact a moderator. Until then, do not post in a RP youre not apart of and have no intention of taking part in just to rudely voice your opinion in defense of somebody who is apparently being "attacked" when in reality it is simply a difference of opinion that is now overshadowed by your immaturity and vulgarness. Please, do not post in this thread again.
